Background / History

Xun'er is identified as the young mistress of the Ancient Clan, though she lives among the Xiao Clan during her youth. At the Xiao Clan's test, she demonstrates ninth-stage Dou Power while still only around fourteen or fifteen years old. She is already deeply attached to Xiao Yan at this time. 1

She supports Xiao Yan when Nalan Yanran seeks to dissolve their engagement, arguing that the clan elders should not decide a matter that directly concerns him. After Xiao Yan repudiates Nalan Yanran, she remains with him at the back mountain and recognizes his renewed determination. 4 6
