Background / History

Departure from the Sect

Raised with princess-like privileges, Rongrong considers herself the most talented member of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Her confidence also rests on her family’s wealth and the protection of two Titled Douluos. She leaves to gain experience, improve her strength, or recruit talented people, hoping to prove to her father that she can lead the sect to prosperity 10.

Her first encounter with Li Sen occurs at Yuelai Restaurant, where she condemns him for purchasing sexual services from twin Soul Scholars. Li Sen ignores her rather than arguing, leaving her furious at being dismissed 8.

Seeking Li Sen’s Teaching

Rongrong declines to enroll at Shrek Academy after seeing its poor facilities and watching Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Zhu Zhuqing refuse admission. Returning to Suotuo City with them, she asks Xiao Wu about their rapid cultivation. Xiao Wu credits Li Sen’s medicinal knowledge and personalized training, prompting Rongrong to request a recommendation as his disciple. Told that he values “fate” and “benefits,” she assumes her sect’s resources will secure his acceptance 10.

She treats the group to a meal after Tang San refuses to summon his master for her. Yu Xiaogang and Flender interrupt the gathering, and Li Sen arrives to protect Tang San. Recognizing him as the man she previously insulted, Rongrong abandons her plan to intervene through the sect’s influence. His ability to stop Flender’s attack with physical strength renews her interest in his teaching, but embarrassment prevents her from asking 11 12.

Conflict and Failed Reconciliation

After Li Sen leaves, Rongrong warns Zhu Zhuqing that becoming his disciple would expose her to sexual exploitation. Tang San threatens her for insulting his master, but she responds by invoking her father and the sect’s two Titled Douluos. He attacks, and Xiao Wu saves her through Teleportation before persuading him to stop. Tang San orders Rongrong away; Xiao Wu returns her gifts and ends their friendship 13.

At Moon-Gazing Restaurant, Rongrong reflects that influence cannot always protect her life. She becomes curious about Li Sen’s physical power, Tang San’s thousand-year second soul ring, and the loyalty he inspires. When two sect Soul Kings reveal that they have reported the attack to her father, she orders the message retrieved, fearing retaliation will create a powerful enemy for the sect 14.

Rongrong later waits outside Yuancheng Hotel to make amends, but cannot bring herself to apologize. Li Sen arrives with Li Xin and Li Yue, and she instead questions his decision to bring women who had sold themselves before his disciple. Li Sen rebukes her and identifies them as his concubines. Rongrong leaves without repairing her relationships 15.

Appearance

• Hair: Pinkish-purple 8.
• Skin: Smooth and jade-like 8.
• Clothing: An expensive long dress at her introduction 8.
• Overall impression: An exquisite porcelain doll with an innate air of nobility 8.

Personality

Rongrong can present a gentle, friendly manner and readily win goodwill, but rejection brings out her competitiveness. She initially treats her talent, money, and influential backing as advantages that should make Li Sen willing to teach her. Her disgust toward his sexual conduct is outspoken, and she reacts angrily when others challenge her right to criticize him 8 10 13.

Her near-death experience introduces caution and self-questioning: she recognizes the limits of family influence and acts to prevent a retaliatory conflict. That change does not immediately overcome her pride. During her first attempt to apologize, she worries about her status and public embarrassment, then offends Li Sen’s companions instead 14 15.

Relationships

• Ning Fengzhi — Father and sect master. Rongrong wants to demonstrate her leadership potential to him, but fears he will retaliate after learning she was nearly killed 10 13 14.
• Grandpa Sword and Grandpa Bone — Titled Douluo elders whose protection underpins her confidence. She cites their innate full soul power when considering Tang San and Xiao Wu’s talent 10 13.
• Li Sen — Prospective teacher whom she initially condemns. Admiration for his strength conflicts with her disapproval and embarrassment; she does not become his disciple 8 10 12 15.
• Tang San — A genius she hopes to approach for an introduction to Li Sen. Their relationship becomes hostile when he attacks her for insulting his master 11 13.
• Xiao Wu — Brief friend and intermediary in her search for a teacher. Xiao Wu saves her life, then returns her clothes and jewelry and breaks off their friendship 10 13.
• Zhu Zhuqing — Fellow prospective disciple whom Rongrong warns against Li Sen. Zhu Zhuqing remains interested in his guidance and leaves with Xiao Wu after the confrontation 13.
• Li Xin and Li Yue — Li Sen’s partners. Rongrong’s remarks about their past humiliate the grieving sisters and derail her attempted reconciliation 15.
