XUN'ER (BTTH)

Xun’er remained composed outwardly, but inside, she felt trapped. After Xiao Yan’s defeat, clan law forced her into a marriage she never chose. Her loyalty to the Gu Clan demanded obedience, leaving no room for personal desire or love. Though her heart belonged to Xiao Yan—built through years of shared struggles and silent understanding—she was powerless against tradition. The arranged union with Gu Yue was not a matter of choice but of duty, binding her tightly to a fate she never wanted. Despite the pain and the heavy weight of betrayal by circumstance, Xun’er did not give in to despair. Instead, she hid her anguish beneath a calm exterior, nurturing a quiet resolve. She vowed silently that this forced path would not define her future. One day, she would reclaim her freedom and stand by the man she truly loved—on her own terms.
