At the end of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, General Hu of the Eastern Wei Dynasty rebelled against Wei and took refuge with Emperor Bodhisattva of Nanliang, which triggered the Hou Jing Rebellion that lasted four years. The land of Sanwu was plagued by constant wars and disasters, and people's livelihood was in ruins. Within the Southern Liang, Emperor Wu of the Liang Dynasty starved to death in Taicheng. The Xiao family clan fought endlessly and led wolves into the house. The west lost Sichuan and Shu to the Western Wei Dynasty, and the east lost Huainan to the Northern Qi Dynasty. Emperor Xiao Yi of Liang Yuan was killed in Jiangling for the Western Wei Dynasty. Emperor Wu of Liang's grandson Xiao Jin succeeded to the throne in Jiangling, and was known as Western Liang in history. Chen Baxian made Xiao Yi's son Xiao Fangzhi emperor, and his descendants would proclaim themselves emperors and establish the Chen Dynasty in the Liang Dynasty's hometown after the Hou Jing Rebellion. In the land of Sanwu, the family members were severely hit by the war. In the 20 years since Hou Jing's Rebellion, Western Liang has been in a corner of peace and has become a vassal to the Northern Zhou Dynasty. The Southern Chen Dynasty has been weak and dedicated to protecting the people and the country. In the third year of Taijian in the Southern Chen Dynasty, Chen Jun led the victorious army to attack Xiliang and was defeated by Xiao Kui. The warlock Du Jinghao found the jade seal passed down by Emperor Qin Shihuang by the Dongting Lake and presented it to Xiao Kui, hoping that Xiao Kui would break away from the Northern Zhou Dynasty and become independent, conquer the Chen Dynasty and restore the Liang Kingdom's homeland, but Xiao Kui accepted the jade seal but did not agree. There was a wealthy family in Linfu in Guangling, Huainan. He was an official in the Northern Qi Dynasty. His name was Hai, and his surname was Ruhai. He gave birth to a beloved daughter, named Daiyu, who was five years old. He asked Jia Yucun, a Confucian scholar from Gusu, to be his teacher.
