Background / History

Xiao Chen is a Xiao Clan branch-family member whose father once saved Xiao Zhan’s life. Although he initially showed no interest in cultivation, he was permitted to remain within the clan because of that debt. His life changed when Gu Yuan chose him to accompany Gu Xun'er around the Xiao Clan and gave him a token. Upon meeting Xun'er, Xiao Chen’s Life Simulator bound to him, allowing him to simulate the lives of important characters and receive rewards for altering their trajectories. 1 2

He used his first simulation of Gu Xun'er to alter her life path and gained the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame and cultivation rewards. He later simulated Xiao Yan, receiving the Burning Mantra, alchemy knowledge, and major advances in cultivation. 3 4 6 8 17

After becoming a Dou Zhe, Xiao Chen concealed the source of his growth by claiming to have a mysterious alchemist master. Xiao Zhan accepted the explanation and abandoned plans to send him to the Cloud Mist Sect, instead supporting his cultivation within the Xiao Clan. 10 11

When the Jialie Family targeted him in the Xiao Clan marketplace, Xiao Chen killed two attacking Dou Shi in self-defense. He subsequently destroyed the Jialie Family and Aoba Family leadership, enabling the Xiao Clan to become Wutan City’s dominant family. 13 17 19

After reaching the Dou Wang realm, Xiao Chen departed Wutan City to seek the Little Doctor Fairy, intending to use her Woe Poison Body as a new simulation connection and source of growth. In Qingshan Town, he found her, revealed her physique’s nature, and offered to help resolve its dangers. He later brought her to the Imperial Capital, where he received fifth-rank alchemist certification and gathered poisonous herbs to support both of their cultivation. 19 21 25 28 30

Personality

Xiao Chen is calculating and opportunistic. He recognizes the value of powerful connections early, deliberately growing close to Xun'er because of her Ancient Clan background, and later manipulates Mu Li into spreading news that would lead the Little Doctor Fairy to him. 2 20

He is also decisive when threatened. He strikes first when he identifies danger, kills enemies who surrender or attempt to bargain, and eradicates hostile factions rather than leaving future risks unresolved. 13 14 17 25

Despite this ruthlessness, he values favors and personal bonds. He feels indebted to Xun'er for arranging revenge on his behalf, reassures Xiao Zhan about Xiao Yan’s future, and actively seeks resources and methods to strengthen and protect the Little Doctor Fairy. 15 19 30 31
