Background / History
An Xiaotong is the third miss of the An family and a student of Qiming Academy. Despite her privileged family background, she prefers practical clothing and wilderness work to formal social events. Her second brother, An Shiyu, leads the An family. 540 767
She became the Silent Court’s Black Knight, acting according to its ideal of justice. Before her identity became widely known, she saved people in Gray Soil Town, entered Shelter 189 to force Tyrant to release captives, and destroyed an entrance that others feared to seal. 111
Her deeper origin is tied to a time loop. Tang Guo, the woman who ended the Transcendent Turmoil, died in a previous era and reincarnated as An Xiaotong. In that previous life, she was the Black Queen, one of the Five Emperors; in her present life, she returned as the Black Knight. 756 772
Appearance
An Xiaotong is a tall, slender young woman with long black hair and light-brown eyes. She usually presents herself with a cool, restrained air, though her eyes have appeared golden during major battles. 141 905

- Has a princess-cut hairstyle with bangs framing her cheeks. 142

- Her Dark-Gold Phoenix Wings have black bases, gilded veins, and golden flames. 1048
Personality
An Xiaotong is guided by a demanding but compassionate idea of justice. She will endanger herself to protect ordinary people, but she refuses to excuse cruelty or ingratitude simply because someone has been saved. 319 439
She is calm and observant under pressure, yet not emotionally detached. She trusts people she considers worthy, accepts responsibility when that trust proves costly, and places the safety of many above her personal relationships. 199 319
Although usually reserved and thin-skinned around romance, she can be playful, teasing, and unexpectedly forceful with Bai Ye. Over time, she rejects purely rigid logic in favor of “acting as [she] please[s],” especially when Lu Yao’s life is at stake. 172 228 462

Story Role / Major Arcs
Black Knight of the Silent Court
An Xiaotong operates as the Black Knight, protecting settlements and confronting threats other Transcendents avoid. Her actions against Shelter 189 and Tyrant establish her reputation as a knight who acts rather than merely speaks about justice. 111
Soul Switch with Bai Ye
A God-Taboo Object causes An Xiaotong and Bai Ye to exchange souls. While trapped in Bai Ye’s frail body, she retains [Knight] and enters the Experimental Base to find him. The incident begins their continuing dependence on one another. 83
She later conceals the truth from Lu Yao by claiming that Bai Ye’s presence is her violent “second personality,” naming the false ability Twin Soul Fission Limit-Breaking Duet. 139 140
Dawn City and the Pangu Formula
An Xiaotong trains Bai Ye, returns to Qiming Academy, and obtains support from Lu Yao for Type III Gene Serum. She and Pei Qingyue use the stolen formula to enter Lu Yunxiao’s trusted circle while seeking a Gene Stabilizer for Bai Ye. 152 155 199
Fated Death and Lu Yunxiao
Bai Ye repeatedly witnesses a future in which An Xiaotong is killed on a rainy autumn night by a black spear. 227 228
During Lu Yunxiao’s attack, An Xiaotong fights through poison and Black Fiend Rain, refusing to switch bodies with Bai Ye because doing so would sacrifice him. She ultimately uses [Law-Stealing Hand] to steal [Myriad Poisons] and saves Bai Ye. 287 290
Protector and Resistance Leader
An Xiaotong continues saving civilians during Mutated Beast attacks, seals a spatial passageway after killing Snake Shepherd, and later insists on saving Lu Yao despite uncertainty over whether it is “right.” 439 441 462
After the Silent Court collapses, she becomes the hidden leader of Night Owl. To prevent Fate from exposing her to the Ten Hands, she severs her Fate Lines and keeps her whereabouts secret. 950 995
Black Phoenix and the Abyss
As Black Phoenix, An Xiaotong enters the Abyss to search for Li You. She rejects God’s Hand’s offer to rule East Continent at his side, battles the Ten Hands, defeats Shadow Hand and Judgment Hand, and survives imprisonment in an Abyssal pillar. 1048 1053 1066
