Ning was born in the Tang dynasty and was sold by her parents to repay her family's debt. Growing up alone, these memories taught her to trust no one, and relied on her own skills to survive. Joining the Ivory Coin as a merchant, she relied on her calculating and cunning techniques to rise up the ranks and became the head of the organization, where she was known as the Treasurer.[1]
After moving to Baghdad in the Abbasid Caliphate, she joined the Order of the Ancients which further increased her sphere of influence and power.[2]
