Background / History

Guo'er serves as Nalan Chaoge's personal attendant in the Nalan Family. When Chaoge awakens and regains the ability to cultivate, she spreads the news among the family disciples before following Nalan Jie to Chaoge's residence 3.

She handles Chaoge's daily needs, including arranging his meals, carrying his tea, washing his clothes herself, and accompanying him when he leaves the estate 4 6. Having served the Nalan Family for eight years, she understands Jia Ma Holy City's markets, magic-core trade, and local family politics well enough to guide and advise Chaoge during his search for a First-tier Magic Core 7 8.

During the conflict with Mu Lu at the Mite'er Auction House, Guo'er verbally defends Chaoge after Mu Lu mocks him. Mu Lu then attempts to strike her with a Dou Qi-infused punch; Chaoge pulls her out of danger and confronts him 9. After Mu Lu's death, she accepts being bound and publicly punished alongside Chaoge, calling it an honor to share his punishment 12.

Guo'er later tends to Chaoge after the staged punishment and discovers that his apparent whip wounds wash away, revealing that Nalan Jie had not truly injured him 15. She also assists Chaoge's dangerous body-tempering regimen by wielding the Fiery Poison Seal Whip, though she repeatedly worries over the pain it causes him and cries when he is whipped unconscious 19 20.

Appearance

Guo'er is depicted as a young, slender girl whose appearance is expected to become more striking as she matures 7.

• Wears a light-green dress falling below her knees 7
• Has fair, translucent skin and bare calves 7
• Wears low-cut cloth shoes without socks 7
• Initially worries that her worn work clothes will embarrass Chaoge in public, then changes into a new outfit before accompanying him out 6

Personality

Guo'er is intensely devoted to Chaoge and consistently prioritizes his needs over her own. She insists on washing his clothing personally, offers him her carefully saved money when he lacks funds, and immediately agrees to carry out tasks he assigns her 6 7 20.

She is shy and self-conscious about her status, particularly when comparing herself with prominent women such as Yaoye and Ya Fei. Nevertheless, she can be outspoken when Chaoge is insulted: she retaliates against Mu Lu's mockery and firmly tells Su Han that she belongs to Chaoge 6 9 22.

Her concern for Chaoge can outweigh her hesitation. Although frightened by his self-inflicted training, she follows his orders to use the whip and nurses him afterward 19 20.
