Life
As a child, Guo Fu wasn't as bright as her mother although as beautiful and was constantly making trouble for her family. She constantly bullied the young Yang Guo (楊過) with Wu Xiuwen (武修文) and Wu Dunru (武敦儒). Almost ten years later, she was reunited with Yang Guo and became infatuated with him. However, Yang Guo by then was in love with Xiaolongnü (小龍女). When Yang Guo rejected her father's proposal of her marriage to Yang Guo, she was deeply offended.
When Yang Guo was poisoned, she believed he wanted to trade her younger infant sister, Guo Xiang, for the antidote to his poison. Furthermore he said Guo Jing had already agreed for him to marry her in front of Wu Xiuwen and Wu Dunru, not knowing that Yang Guo was only trying to stop the two brothers from fighting each other to the death for her. She told him about his mentor's rape incident in a rage, and Yang Guo slapped her in the face. They fought briefly, but he had no strength because he had been poisoned. Putting his arm up to defend himself against Guo Fu's sword, Guo Fu severed Yang Guo's right arm. Later, Guo Jing wanted to punish her by cutting her arm off, he was only stopped by his wife, Huang Rong.
She married Yelü Qi (耶律齊) at the end of the story, whom she gave her family treasured vest to for him to win the contest to became the leader of Beggars' Sect (丐帮). She would later be at peace with Yang Guo after he rescued her husband from the Mongolian army at the end of the novel.
