Background / History

Xiao Yuan is a transmigrator who knows elements of the original story’s future. At four years old, he condensed Dou Qi—the same age as Xiao Yan—and became recognized as an exceptional member of the Xiao Clan 1.

He possesses a system that rewards his inner complaints and mockery of plot events. Its rewards include cultivation resources, techniques, weapons, experience cards, and unusual items; his inner thoughts can be heard by Xiao Xun'er, Little Doctor Fairy, and others 2 3 33.

During his childhood in the Xiao Clan, Xiao Yuan became close to Xun'er and remained supportive of Xiao Yan after the latter’s cultivation regressed. He encouraged Xiao Yan to believe that his decline was temporary 6 7.

After being drawn into a three-year engagement challenge with Nalan Yanran, Xiao Yuan began accumulating increasingly powerful rewards and resources. He used a disguise and borrowed Dou Wang-level power to eradicate the Jialie Clan, later selling its spoils through Ya Fei 12 18 19 24.

He subsequently left Wutan City alone for Qingshan Town, where he met Little Doctor Fairy. Their journey through the Magical Beast Mountain Range led him to uncover the Wolf Head Mercenary Group’s conspiracy and annihilate the group 30 33 39 41.

Personality

Xiao Yuan is outwardly polite and approachable despite his extraordinary talent. He maintains good relations with most people in the Xiao Clan and consoles Xiao Yan rather than exploiting his cousin’s weakness 7 21.

He is also calculating, irreverent, and willing to deceive or intimidate others when pursuing a goal. He bargains aggressively with Ya Fei and Hai Bodong, disguises himself to conceal his actions, and treats hostile forces with extreme ruthlessness 19 24 86.

His treatment of vulnerable people is markedly different. He shows compassion toward Qing Lin, reassures her about her snake heritage, and protects Little Doctor Fairy during their travels 47 89 90.
