Zhao Huizhen

Biodata

Background / History

When Zhao Huizhen reunites with her biological daughter, Shen Luoluo, she welcomes her into the Shen home. Zhao and Shen Ting’an provide Luoluo with a bank card holding two million yuan and promise another two hundred thousand each month. After seeing the contrast between Luoluo’s small room and the princess room occupied by their adopted daughter, Shen Anya, they arrange to move Anya’s belongings so the larger room can be redecorated for Luoluo 3 4 5.

Zhao later discovers she cannot clearly remember how the family decided on the original room arrangement. She and Shen Ting’an begin to suspect Anya may have influenced family decisions, though they cannot initially explain the gaps in their memories 23 57. Zhao remains torn because she raised Anya for more than ten years. When Anya fears being sent away, Zhao reassures her that she is still part of the family 81 82.

That position changes when Shen Jingyao presents evidence that Anya learned her biological parents had deliberately switched her with Luoluo and tried to conceal it. Zhao rejects Anya’s pleas, insists that she apologize to Luoluo, and orders security to remove her from the house. She then asks Luoluo for a chance to make amends herself 96 97.

At the police station, Zhao confronts the couple responsible for the switch and the years Luoluo spent apart from her family. She directs Jingyao to hire a top lawyer and pursue the case. Afterward, Luoluo gently fixes Zhao’s disheveled hair; the gesture brings Zhao to tears 123 124.

Appearance

Zhao maintains an elegant appearance. Although nearly forty when Luoluo returns, she has fair, radiant skin and barely any wrinkles 3 124.

• Her eyes often redden when she speaks about Luoluo’s hardships or receives affection from her 4 47 124.
• She chooses a pale-green Chinese-style qipao and has her hair and makeup styled for Luoluo’s coming-of-age ceremony 225.

Personality

Usually patient and composed, Zhao rarely scolds her children. Her anger becomes unmistakable when she faces the people who separated her from Luoluo: she strikes the woman involved, then demands legal accountability 123 124.

Zhao expresses care through practical attention—preparing food, checking on her children, and worrying about their health. She also learns to give them more room to choose for themselves: after apologizing to Jingyao for pressuring him to marry, she tells Luoluo there is no rush to decide on a career 11 91 108 220.
