Background / History
Encounter with Ye Fan
Ning Rongrong comes from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, where her father is Ning Fengzhi. She has a reputation for causing trouble throughout the sect, and people secretly protecting her recognize her smile as a warning that the “Little Demoness” is about to act up 32 34.
While sitting in a luxurious upstairs teahouse lounge in Suotuo City, she begins hearing Ye Fan's inner voice. His references to “little Rongrong” and future events make her suspect that he can see the future. After identifying him through his conversation with Xiao Wu, she follows his group into the streets. Her poor tailing skills allow all three members of the group to notice her 32.
Rose Hotel Confrontation
Rongrong attempts to disguise her pursuit by browsing a stall, keeping both her identity and her ability to hear Ye Fan concealed. His thoughts about other women make her question whether she could really fall for such a womanizer 33.
Outside the hotel, she watches the confrontation with Dai Mubai alongside Zhu Zhuqing. Ye Fan's ability to redirect an attack with a single word impresses her deeply. She is also surprised when Xiao Wu reveals her level-thirty-five Soul Elder strength, though she takes the comparison less painfully than Zhu Zhuqing 34 35 37.
Rescue and Breakfast Arrangement
Rongrong rents the room beside Ye Fan and Xiao Wu at the Rose Hotel, dismissing the receptionist's warning that it is unusual. Curiosity leads her to test unfamiliar equipment that automatically restrains her wrist and ankle and hoists her toward the ceiling. Unable to reach the key, she remains suspended for eight hours before Ye Fan hears her calls and frees her 38 39.
After he brings her water, they formally exchange names. She gives him a necklace Storage Soul Tool as a reward, but becomes embarrassed when he accidentally retrieves a sky-blue face mask she forgot inside. She proposes breakfast together; Ye Fan offers to pay instead. The next morning, she prepares early and opens her door expecting him, only to find Xiao Wu 39.
Appearance
- Described as innocent-looking and adorable by the hotel receptionist 38.
- Approximately the same age as Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing; no exact age is given 34 37.
- Places importance on looking presentable, washing, dressing, and tidying her hair before the planned breakfast 39.
Personality
Rongrong is observant, inquisitive, and mischievous. She identifies Ye Fan as the source of the mysterious voice through clues in his conversation, then pursues him without revealing what she knows. Her curiosity also gets her into trouble when she experiments with the hotel room's unfamiliar devices 32 33 39.
She has a quick temper but can restrain it when something interests her more: after Zhu Zhuqing ignores her friendly smile, she suppresses her irritation to continue watching the hotel confrontation. She admires strength and power, accepting that powerful men may have multiple partners while disapproving of Dai Mubai's graceless fight over a room 34 35.
She is generous toward someone who helps her, giving Ye Fan a valuable Soul Tool rather than a modest payment. Nevertheless, she becomes intensely embarrassed when he sees a personal item she accidentally left inside 39.

Relationships
