Xiao Qin talked about the past in Gu Family Ancestral Temple and said, "The old duke really likes his big sister, and it's useless to be surrounded by good and virtuous people." In the scene of Xiao Qin's self-immolation, Xiao Qin accused her husband Gu Yankai of hurting her and her sister's life in order to protect herself.
It can be seen from the information in the play that Xiao Qin has been targeting Gu because He Gu hurt her. Xiao Qin has been unable to let go of the resentment caused by this injury. Even if the maid repeatedly persuaded Xiao Qin to give up fighting with Gu Ye Ting, Xiao Qin could not get rid of this obsession.
Character evaluation:
In Know No, Xiao Qin is a villain, but thinking about Xiao Qin's role in the play is far more than just shaping the villain. Xiao Qin is not as evil as Zhu Manniang, nor as kind as Ming Lan. Xiao Qin represents the truest state of human nature, which is obsession.
