## Back Story

Hen-to, Fei, Daiyu, and Jianjin all grew up in the countryside of Nanijie, China. He was seen as the unofficial "leader" of the group. Hen-to and Fei tried to protect Daiyu from her scheming brother. The boys were rather wary when Khai entered the picture.

Intially, Hen-to and Fei didn't trust Khai because Jianjin tried to rip him off and they believed that he was using Daiyu looking for revenge. One afternoon at Daiyu's house, Hen-to and Fei quizzed Khai about his intentions with Daiyu. The heir said that he actually liked her and she didn't treat her like he was better than her.

When Khai turned twenty in October 1986, Daiyu invited Hen-to and Fei down for his birthday. Despite reservations, the men went up to Beijing. As predicted, the Liao clan's rich friends looked down upon them. When one of the nobleman tripped Daiyu when she went to give Khai a cake for his present, Hen-to punched him in the family. Khai's father had the said nobleman thrown out. After most of the rich friends left, the Liao clan, Daiyu, Hen-to, and Fei had the rest of the party to themselves.

When Daiyu and Khai got married, Khai invited Hen-to and Fei up to Beijing. After a short negotiation, he hired them as his advisors of the clan. He even moved them into two of the houses that he had fixed up on the Liao proptery. Years later, Hen-to realized that it was part of a plan to have Daiyu's heart to himself.

On one Saturday morning in 1989, Khai invites Hen-to out to Yao Ji Chao Gan to spend the day with. At first, he's annoyed because he wanted to sleep in that morning. But, Khai wears him down. When Hen-to gets there, he finds the boss talking to some girl at the bar. Concerned, he goes inside and confronts Khai. The clan leader said that he told the woman that he was married. Hen-to went over to introduce himself and she already knew his name. She introduced herself as Bik Joo. Khai then leaves them on an impromptu date. The pair are annoyed at first, but it works out in the end. Hen-to ended up spending the night in her dorm after getting caught in the rain on a walk around the city.

Hen-to convinces Bik to adopt Chih Bo even after the kid was rather bratty and couldn't adjust to his new surroundings at first.

Along with his wife, Bik, Hen-to manages to convince Khai to let Tina and Ju stay friends because the heir had finally made a friend outside of the clan.
