Ruan Lingyu

"Are you trying to sneak up on me? I’m not sure because you’re so terrible at it."

―Ruan talking to Darius, upon spotting him sneaking in her room.

Ruan Lingyu

Ruan Lingyu (26 April 1910 – 8 March 1935), born Ruan Fenggen, was a Chinese actress active in Shanghai during the early 20th century.

When the British Templar Darius Gift arrived in Shanghai to deliver a package to Chiang Kai-shek, Ruan stole it for unknown reasons. In order to accomplish her mission and seduce the young man, Ruan posed as a prostitute named Roo, creating a fake story about the difficulty of foreigners to pronounce her true name and how she adopted the name given to her one day by an American client.
