Early life

Huang is the daughter of Chinese expats. As a child, Huang's mother encouraged her to write stories as a way to practice English as a second language. Later, Huang wrote as a hobby and posted stories on Wattpad.
Huang's first encounter with romance literature was "earlier than I should have”, sneakily picking up "one of those Harlequin mass market paperbacks" while her mom wasn’t looking.
"I wrote my first novel when I was 15, and I uploaded it when I was maybe 18." — Ana Huang

Huang studied international relations in college, and during college, studied abroad in China, as a foreign exchange student in Shanghai.
