Lu Xu transformed into a refugee in the late Han Dynasty and lived under the name "Lu Xu". The government imposed an unmarried tax, and since he had no money to pay, he was forced to go to the Fang family to choose abducted refugees as wives. Fang Hao appreciated his knowledge and recruited him as a disciple. In order to survive in this troubled world where people cannibalize each other, Lu Xu accepted this humiliating olive branch.
