Lu Tao was born with an incomplete soul, possessing only one soul and one spirit. Those born with such a deficiency can live only until the age of ten. To keep his child from being disturbed, Lu Tao's father, Lu Chongshan, moved the whole family to a quiet mountain village. Lu Tao's grandfather had arranged a childhood betrothal for him, but the engagement ended when the family moved. It was precisely because Lu Chongshan moved away that his son managed to survive and begin a legendary life.
