Background / History

Xu Xiuer is King Wu'an's only granddaughter. Initially regarded as a gentle but poorly gifted cultivator, she feared that her low aptitude would leave her defenseless once her grandfather could no longer protect her. A System assessment later identified her as being at the Body Forging Eighth Layer with an “Ordinary” fate. 91 100

She first takes notice of Princess Ziwei after Xiao Minghuang patiently explains a martial-arts match to her without any apparent motive. Xu Xiuer interprets this as genuine kindness and resolves to rely on herself rather than wait for others to determine her future. 92

After a misunderstanding leads to her being restrained at the Princess Mansion, Xiao Minghuang apologizes, gives her medicinal pills, and promises that she will not need to fear for her safety. Ye Ruoshui also apologizes for wrongly associating Xu Xiuer and King Wu'an with an assassination attempt. 99 100

Though Elder Liu considers her aptitude average and initially offers to find her a safer path, Xu Xiuer refuses to settle for mediocrity. Her declaration that a meteor's brief brilliance can “amaze eternity” persuades Elder Liu to seek a renowned Sacred Academy teacher for her. 118

At the Sacred Academy, her talent for fate calculation is discovered. She enters the Hundred Inquiries Pavilion and is formally accepted after distinguishing herself in the Heavenly Dipper Assembly. 214

Appearance

Xu Xiuer was initially introduced as a delicate girl of roughly fifteen or sixteen, with a porcelain-doll-like face, bright eyes, and a light-green dress. 96

As her cultivation advances, she becomes a graceful young woman with a more composed bearing and a mysterious aura. 214 230

• Often wears jade-green or light-green dresses. 96 214 223
• Has long black hair and a slender figure. 214 230
• Her Destiny Heavenly Eye manifests as brilliant golden light in her pupils. 317
• Following the awakening of the Heavenly Eye, faint golden light can reveal the essential composition of what she observes. 317

Personality

Xu Xiuer begins as shy, self-conscious, and deeply affected by her poor cultivation talent. She dislikes relying on others and resents being treated as someone who can only accept protection or charity. 91 100

Beneath her gentle demeanor, she is ambitious and resolute. Her refusal to accept an ordinary life leads her to pursue the dangerous and obscure Destiny Dao rather than a safer path. 118

She is loyal to Xiao Minghuang, eager to be useful to her, and consistently concerned for her safety. She becomes more mature and confident after entering the Sacred Academy, though she remains easily flustered by Xiao Minghuang's affection. 214 230 304

Xu Xiuer also bears intense hatred toward Demonic creatures due to the harm King Wu'an suffered at their hands. She restrains herself when Xiao Minghuang chooses mercy or wishes to investigate further. 301
