Background / History

Xun Er was raised within the Ancient Clan until age five, under the protection of her father, Gu Yuan. She then lived with the Xiao Family from age five to sixteen before entering Jia Nan Academy. Her limited experience outside these protected environments contrasts with her noble upbringing and mature bearing. 165

While living with the Xiao Family, she developed feelings for Xiao Yan because of his perseverance. However, Ling Ying later reveals that Xun Er had ordered him to stop Xiao Yan’s nocturnal attempts to enter her chambers; Xiao Yan had never actually warmed her meridians or taken advantage of her. 154

Her presence in the Xiao Family is tied to the Ancient Clan’s long-running search for the Tou She Ancient God Jade. Jia Lie Jun exploits this secret in negotiations, threatening to inform the Soul Clan if she interferes with the Jia Lie Family’s conflict against Xiao Yan. Xun Er agrees not to intervene, but retains faith that Xiao Yan can defeat Jia Lie Jun. 3

After joining Jia Nan Academy, persistent rumors about Jia Lie Jun’s public pursuit of her make her the target of widespread gossip and numerous admirers. Her relationship with Xiao Yan deteriorates after he publicly insults her and later attempts to ambush her during the ranking matches. 161 162 168 169

Xun Er ultimately chooses to remain with Jia Lie Jun despite the Ancient Clan’s disapproval. When the clan orders her return, she protects him from Ling Quan and promises that she will wait for him. 187 199 206 207

Personality

Xun Er is composed, proud, and difficult to approach. She reacts sharply to Jia Lie Jun’s early harassment, particularly because he holds leverage over the Xiao Family, yet she refuses to let fear make her abandon her dignity. 17

She is devoted to those she cares about. She initially endures pressure from her clan for Xiao Yan’s sake and arranges for Ling Ying to protect him in secret. Xiao Yan’s insults and sneak attack leave her disillusioned, forcing her to reconsider whether her sacrifices for him were worthwhile. 163 169

Although initially resentful of Jia Lie Jun for threatening her and stealing her first kiss, she gradually recognizes that he does not cross her boundaries. His persistence and support during her estrangement from Xiao Yan soften her feelings, eventually leading to jealousy, affection, and an open confession of love. 164 165 206
