Originally, Qu Feiluan was just an outsider. Her sudden disappearance only made the people in the mountain village curious for a moment. The forest was extremely dangerous; they couldn't possibly risk their safety to search for an outsider.
But A Xiu, being a girl, didn't have as much standing in her family compared to her two brothers. Her parents didn't care much for this daughter, so they went out half-heartedly to search for her, and upon not finding her, they gave up.
The outsider who occupied A Xiu's body found a place in the forest to hide for some time, putting on Qu Feiluan's human skin mask on her face.
Then, the outsider was taken back by people from the Tianze Kingdom who came searching.
The outsider feigned amnesia and kept the truth hidden for some time.
She made herself become Qu Feiluan.
