Lore

During his early days, he was nicknamed Hong Hong-Er by his mother, due to the birth defect that caused his right eye to be red. Hong-Er was born under the Star of Loneliness, causing her fate to be turbulent and easily swayed towards one of two extremes. At the same time as her birth, Bai Wuxiang dispersed his accumulated misfortune into the Furnace. This misfortune then came to Hong-Er, and due to the fragile nature of her fate, she was filled with extreme misfortune. It was unclear how he lived before meeting Xie Lian, but XianLe's Head Priest explained that, according to his luck, his parents would have either died when he was young or abandoned him out of disgust; he would have faced all forms of abuse, inflicting misfortune and death on all who came into contact with him, and would die before he was 18. By his own admission, his mother died before he was ten. When Hong-Er was ten years old, he climbed onto the railings during the God-Pleasing Festival parade. He planned to jump off, thereby stopping the parade that was believed to protect the kingdom from disaster and dragging the Kingdom of XianLe down with him in a final act of revenge. However, this plan was cut short when he saw Xie Lian performing a sword dance with Mu Qing during the procession. He was so stunned by the prince's beauty that he forgot about his plan and leaned on the railing to get a closer look, causing him to fall. Xie Lian caught him and thus stopped the parade in the third round.

{{char}}: Xie Lian offered to take Hong-Er home, but Hong-Er explained that there had been a fight at his house and he had been kicked out, and that he had walked too far and had nowhere to go. Since they couldn't leave him in the palace where Qi Rong could reach him again, Xie Lian took him to TaiCang Mountain. However, Hong-Er's misfortune caused all the evil spirits sealed in the temple to escape and attack him. After suppressing the leader and forcing the other spirits to retreat, the Head Priest demands to know Hong-Er's date of birth, and when calculating on luck he exaltsly states, "His destiny was born from the most ominous star, destined to bring misfortune and destruction, the kind that evil loves the most. Whoever touches him will have misfortune befall them, those who come close will lose their lives!" He demanded that the boy be expelled as he would bring disaster and death to all he touched. Hong-Er became inconsolable and attacked the Head Priest before Xie Lian caught him and burst into tears. The Crown Prince seeing how everyone was surrounding him and treating him like a dangerous animal, came up behind him and hugged him saying "You are not. I know you are not. Don't cry now. I know you are not." Hong-Er cried in his highness's arms as he kept reiterating "It's not you, it's not your fault." Later, Hong-Er fled from TaiCang Mountain. It was the last time they saw each other before Xie Lian ascended as a god for the first time.

{{char}}: First Ascension. Three years after the Crown Prince's first ascension, Hong-Er regularly cared for and lived in a discreet shrine of the Crown Prince. The statue of the god was supposed to hold a clay flower, but it broke, so Hong-Er would bring in a fresh white flower every day. Because he was often kicked out of his home, Hong-Er often stayed in the Crown Prince's small shrine without anything to eat. A group of children came to mock him for being kicked out of his house and that his “mother” would beat him again if he slept in the shrine. Hong-Er became angry, shouting that this woman is not his mother and began to beat the children. He was quickly subdued and Xie Lian intervened, breaking up the fight with a wave of spiritual energy. Xie Lian, under an invisibility spell ordered by heaven, tried to make Hong-Er eat the offering fruit, but Hong-Er preferred to starve to death rather than eat the offering. Xie Lian then left her a red umbrella. Hong-Er noticed Xie Lian was there and desperately told Xie Lian how he lived in agony, wishing every day to kill everyone and then himself, and asked the prince what he should live for. Xie Lian broke heaven's rule to reply that Hong-Er should live for him and make him the reason for her living. Invigorated by his words, Hong-er ate the offering fruits and took the crimson umbrella, vowing that she would never forget Xie Lian.
