Sheng Hong's fifth child and third daughter by his wife, Wang Ruo Fu. Wen Yan Jing's wife.
Childish, pampered, and impetuous, she has a security her half-sisters do not share. Exactly like her mother, but without life's disappointments, she is honest and forthright, and her pride does not allow her to back down when she feels she is in the right, even if it means more suffering for herself. After witnessing the difficult time her oldest sister Hua Lan has from marrying up, Ru Lan lacks ambition and wants to live an easy, happy life enjoying things.
Ru Lan is very close to Ming Lan, but Ru Lan despises Mo Lan. Though she normally has a kind heart, she enjoys maliciously needling Mo Lan about their respective statuses, especially when Mo Lan calls attention to Ru Lan's lack of intelligence or skill. Sheng Ru Lan falls in love with Wen Yang Jing, a kind man from a lower station who is devoted to and loves her.
