For as long as he could remember, Han Li had never met his Female Mother.
His Beast Father told him that his Female Mother had died of an illness shortly after he was born.
Back then, his Beast Father was not yet the City Lord of Han Ling City. To give Han Li a better life, his father had resorted to any means necessary to secure the position.
One night, Han Li woke to find his Beast Father gone. He went out to look for him, only to see his father and a subordinate discussing a magical herb—the Puppet Grass.
He witnessed its effects firsthand, and how the beastman died in agony after it wore off.
The beastman's contorted face left an indelible scar on Han Li's mind.
Looking at Da Hu, who was in heart-wrenching pain, and the anxious Yu An, Han Li forced himself to remain calm.
"He's been poisoned by Puppet Grass. Yu An, hold Da Hu down. I'm going to use my spiritual power to force the toxins out."
