Background / History

Family and early bond with Huo Hai

Huo Yuner is the only daughter of Huo Hai's second uncle and addresses Huo Hai as “Brother Hai.” When his transmigration-related memory loss causes him not to recognize her, she is offended but quickly becomes absorbed in the grass cages he is weaving. Within the family, she is notably pampered. 6

Huo Hai comes to regard her as the younger sister he never had in his former life and resolves to protect her. Their relationship develops through his insect-raising hobby: he teaches her to observe insects rather than fear them, catches her a cricket with a pleasant call, and shows her how to feed and care for it. 7

Interest in insects

Yuner initially finds the idea of raising insects frightening and nearly throws away one of Huo Hai's cages. After closely observing a harmless insect, however, she begins to find insects beautiful and interesting. 7

She becomes attached to Little Gold, Huo Hai's golden centipede Gu Insect. Though Huo Hai refuses to give it to her, he allows her to visit and feed it. Yuner later helps Little Gold grow by catching insects for it, including venomous ones, although she remains disgusted by particularly grotesque creatures. 9

Imperial City Academy recommendation

When the Huo Family debates its single recommendation slot for Imperial City Academy, Huo Hai voluntarily relinquishes his claim so that he can enter through the trial. The elders award the slot to Yuner instead. She recognizes Huo Hai's signal and accepts the recommendation. 18

Huo Hai remains vigilant when an academy envoy displays concealed lust toward Yuner during registration, privately resolving to retaliate if the man threatens her. 20

Kidnapping

Yuner's new fondness for beautiful insects becomes the basis of a plot against Huo Hai. While secretly shopping with her maid, Xiao Cui, she purchases a rare Illusion Butterfly for one hundred Spirit Stones. A disguised seller then lures her away by claiming to possess another rare insect. 46

The kidnappers use sleeping smoke to render Yuner and Xiao Cui unconscious, then abduct them to an abandoned warehouse. The operation is intended to force Huo Hai to surrender the supposed Hidden Weapon Technique before killing him with Explosive Spirit Stones. 46 48

Huo Hai infiltrates the warehouse with Little Gold and the newly transformed Star Gu, rescues Yuner before she is harmed, and returns her to the Huo Family. She remains unconscious because of an unidentified drug, which Huo Hai is unable to treat himself. 49 50

Appearance

Huo Yuner is first described as a little girl who looks as though she has been “carved from pink jade.” 6

• She is especially drawn to delicate and visually striking insects, such as Little Gold and the Illusion Butterfly. 9 46

Personality

Yuner is lively, affectionate, and playful. She readily clings to Huo Hai, threatens to take away his grass cages when she wants him to catch an insect for her, and persistently asks to visit Little Gold. 7 9

She is also sheltered and carefree. She dismisses Xiao Cui's concerns about repeatedly sneaking out of the Huo Family estate, trusting that her status will protect her from consequences. This confidence leaves her vulnerable to the kidnappers' deception. 46

Although initially terrified of insects, Yuner proves adaptable. Huo Hai's patient guidance changes her fear into curiosity, then into a genuine hobby; she eventually keeps chirping insects in grass cages and catches food for Little Gold. 7 9 46
