Xiao Ning'er

Xiao Ning'er is a student in Nie Li's fighter-apprentice class and a member of the noble Winged Dragon family. A driving force behind her fierce dedication to training is her wish to escape an arranged marriage to Shen Fei of the Sacred Family, a man she deeply despises.

In the novel she has shoulder-length black hair and a slim figure (the manhua depicts her with long brownish-orange hair). A cold, anti-social beauty, she is a serious and unyielding student of strong determination. She is profoundly grateful to Nie Li for the powers that let her defy her family and for curing her illness before the worst could happen.

When Nie Li notices her training at night, he recognizes the symptoms of the Arctic Disease that crippled her cultivation in his previous life and offers to treat her. He discovers she carries a rare Winged Dragon soul form with a Wind-Lightning attribute and gives her the Lightning Dragon Technique; while defending him she awakens the extremely rare "soul forming" ability, sharply raising her standing in the family.

In Nie Li's past life she survived Glory City's fall and, disfigured and masked under the name "Xiao Ning," lived with and repeatedly saved him without his ever recognizing her. In this life she is the first woman to love him after his rebirth and one of his most devoted companions.
