Background / History

Xun'er was dispatched to the Xiao Clan in Wutan City and instructed by her father to pay attention to the Tou She Ancient God Jade. During the journey, she received a copy of Cang Lan's Secret Diary. The diary named her as Cang Lan's wife, claimed that its author was inside the Ancient Emperor's Cave Mansion, and could not be disclosed to others; attempting to do so confronted her with a terrifying warning. 2

Initially skeptical, she questioned Ling Ying about the cave mansion and learned that even a Dou Zun would risk death within it. Her doubts escalated after the diary identified Xiao Yan and described a future threat to her. Upon arriving at the Xiao Clan and seeing that Xiao Yan truly existed, Xun'er panicked, suspected that he might be possessed by a powerful soul, and sought Ling Ying's protection. 2 3

The diary's rewards transformed her cultivation. Its Gold-tier cultivation-speed reward caused a heavenly phenomenon over Wutan City and elevated her to One-star Dou Huang in a single day. The strength gave her a measure of security against the future she feared, though she struggled to control her newly acquired power. 15 20

As she continued reading the diary, Xun'er developed a strong attachment to Cang Lan. She admired his cultivation progress, worried about dangers within the Ancient Emperor's Cave Mansion, and grew jealous when other women appeared in his entries. 23 24 53 78

After missing an earlier chance to meet Cang Lan, Xun'er returned to the Ancient Clan. She later left the clan alone to find him and clarify the misunderstanding involving Xiao Yan, but Gu Yuan followed her. Though she concealed her true purpose, Gu Yuan agreed to accompany her on her journey. 120 139 140

When the Ancient Secret Realm appeared, Xun'er insisted on entering despite Gu Yuan's objections. She was initially unable to pass through the entrance, leaving her heartbroken. A voice from within subsequently declared that “Gu Xun'er is fated with me,” and a heavenly phenomenon marked her acceptance into the realm. 152 154 155

Appearance

As a child, Xun'er is described as a delicate little girl with bright eyes and a youthful, expressive face. After growing up, she wears a purple dress and has long, glossy black hair reaching her waist, giving her the appearance of a fairy stepped out of a painting. 2 120

• Noted for being exceptionally beautiful from childhood. 24
• Her adult appearance is refined and ethereal, with flowing black hair and a purple dress. 120
• Her expressions are highly transparent: fear, embarrassment, joy, and jealousy are often immediately visible. 3 20 24

Personality

Xun'er is initially cautious and easily frightened by the diary's revelations, particularly those concerning Xiao Yan and the possibility that the future recorded in the diary may be real. Rather than dismissing it outright, she tests its claims against reality and relies on Ling Ying's protection while adapting to the Xiao Clan. 2 3

She is affectionate, earnest, and highly emotionally invested in Cang Lan despite never meeting him for much of the story. His safety worries her, his achievements inspire her, and perceived rivals provoke jealousy. 23 24 53

As her strength grows, Xun'er becomes more independent and resolute. She leaves the Ancient Clan without informing Gu Yuan, seeks Cang Lan on her own initiative, and remains determined to enter the Ancient Secret Realm despite her father's concern. 120 139 152
