Background / History

Yun Ruoxi spent time living with the Jiang family when Jiang Cheng was young. When she fell ill while Jiang Cheng’s parents were away, the child stayed with her through the night, sought help, and made sure she received treatment. The incident became the beginning of her feelings for him. Unable to accept the age gap and her position in his life, she left to build her career abroad. 288

In the original storyline, she was the sole major female villain. She returned to China only after the Jiang family had been destroyed, seeking revenge because she owed the family a debt of gratitude. When revenge appeared impossible and Ye Bufan threatened her, she chose death rather than submit. 221

In the altered timeline, Yun Ruoxi returns to China permanently and begins transferring her overseas business back home. She stays with the Jiang family, where Mother Jiang—her sworn elder sister—introduces her again to Jiang Cheng. 221 222
