Background

Gu Xun'er is Gu Yuan's daughter and the Gu Clan's little princess. From childhood, her dense Dou Di Bloodline gave her unusual maturity and enabled her to sense the affinity emitted by Gu Xiao—later known as Lu Yunxiao—making her deeply attached to him. She delayed her scheduled transfer to the Xiao Clan because she did not want to be separated from him. 1 3

She had integrated the Golden Emperor Sky-Burning Flame at a young age and suffered lingering after-effects from the process. Gu Xiao regularly checked on her health, and their childhood bond became the most genuine relationship he had within the Ancient Realm. 1

After Gu Xiao disappeared, Xun'er ultimately went to the Xiao Clan herself to search for him. On her first night there, Xiao Yan attempted to take advantage of her while she slept; she ordered her guard Ling Ying to break both of his legs. 10

Xun'er spent nine years apart from Gu Xiao, returning monthly to a teahouse and ordering the pastries he had loved as a child. When Lu Yunxiao arrived in Wu Tan City, she recognized him as Gu Xiao and confronted him over his long absence before agreeing to keep his identity secret from the Gu Clan. 140 142

Her loyalty ultimately persuaded Lu Yunxiao not to sever his ties with the Gu Clan. She gave him the Emperor's Seal Art, reminding him that neither his history in the clan nor his bond with her could be discarded. 533

Appearance

Gu Xun'er is a peerlessly beautiful young woman with an ethereal, refined presence. Her beauty is consistently compared to a pure lotus: elegant rather than flamboyant, detached from the mundane, and capable of captivating both men and women. 134 1129 1131

• Long black hair, often worn loose or tied with a simple ribbon. 1129
• Clear, captivating eyes described as deep as a starry sky. 1129
• Favors simple cyan, green, purple, and pale-yellow dresses over ornate clothing. 144 531 1001
• Possesses a multicolored flame mark between her brows after her later cultivation advances. 1753
• Her bearing is associated with a green lotus: pure, noble, and untainted. 134 1131

Personality

Xun'er is quiet, elegant, and proud. She rarely competes for attention and initially appears gentle and soft-spoken, but she possesses a firm will and does not hesitate to act ruthlessly when crossed. Her punishment of Xiao Yan established that her mild exterior should not be mistaken for weakness. 10 139

She values cultivation fundamentals over reckless advancement, deliberately building a stable foundation despite her exceptional talent. She is perceptive about Lu Yunxiao's secrets and respects the boundaries he sets, choosing trust over prying. 136 517 1145

Her affection for Lu Yunxiao is unwavering, but she is also possessive and easily jealous of the women around him. She fears being forced to share him with ever more partners and once asked him to disguise his appearance when traveling so that he would attract less attention. 149 527 528

Xun'er is deeply devoted to the Gu Clan as well as to Lu Yunxiao. When he sought to distance himself from the clan, she directly challenged him and made him confront the kindness Gu Yuan and the Gu Clan had shown him. 533
