Background / History

Nuoding Academy

Xiao Wu studied alongside Wang Dong'er and Tang San at Nuoding Academy for six years. Near graduation, she confessed that she loved Wang Dong'er, then believed to be a boy; Wang Dong'er revealed her female identity in response. Though heartbroken, Xiao Wu agreed to bury the matter and redefined their bond as family, while demanding that Wang Dong'er's secret remain known to no one else 1 2.

Journey to Heaven Dou City

Unable to stop worrying about Wang Dong'er after her departure, Xiao Wu traveled to Heaven Dou City with Tang San. She intervened when Tai Long harassed Wang Dong'er, incapacitating him with Charm. Xiao Wu then gave Wang Dong'er her Silent Sleeve Arrow for protection, despite Wang Dong'er's attempt to return it 22 23.

Wang Dong'er entrusted Xiao Wu with the Love-Sickness Heartbroken Red. The immortal herb recognized Xiao Wu as its master and fused into her body, increasing her life force, advancing her transformation to the maturity stage, and concealing her soul-beast aura 23.

Shrek Academy Incident

Although she wanted to remain in Heaven Dou City with Wang Dong'er, Xiao Wu honored her promise to Yu Xiaogang and traveled toward Shrek Academy with Tang San 24. At Shrek, she became terrified that Dugu Bo's presence could expose her identity as a transformed soul beast, even after Wang Dong'er assured her that the herb concealed her aura 33 34.

When Shrek Academy was disgraced as “Swindler Academy,” Xiao Wu chose Wang Dong'er over staying with Tang San. Tang San's ensuing killing intent convinced her that he meant harm toward Wang Dong'er; she ended their six-year friendship and left with Wang Dong'er 34 35.

Appearance

Xiao Wu is described as exceptionally beautiful and was regarded as Nuoding Academy's “goddess” 1.

• Wears a distinctive scorpion braid 22.
• Often wears a pink miniskirt and white silk stockings 22.
• Has long, fair legs and fair cheeks that visibly redden when embarrassed 1 22.
• Her maturation after merging with the Love-Sickness Heartbroken Red made her body develop rapidly 23 32.

Personality

Xiao Wu is fiercely protective of Wang Dong'er. Her trip to Heaven Dou City, intervention against Tai Long, and willingness to offer her own hidden weapon all stem from concern for Wang Dong'er's safety 22 23. Though initially hurt by Wang Dong'er's rejection, she values their relationship enough to accept a familial bond instead 2.

She is outspoken, teasing, and unwilling to be intimidated by status. She openly provokes Dugu Yan despite Dugu Yan being stronger, especially when Dugu Yan acts possessively toward Wang Dong'er 25. Xiao Wu can also be emotionally vulnerable: the danger of being identified as a soul beast frightens her less than the prospect of being separated from Wang Dong'er 33 34.
