Background / History

Xiao Bei retains the experience and composure of a former listed-company CEO following his rebirth. Before discovering his origins, he was raised as an orphan in Ningcheng and remained closely attached to the orphanage staff who cared for him. 2 590

He was born to Xiao Tian and Ye Rou of the Imperial Capital Xiao Family. On his full moon day, Zhang Ruofei abducted him out of resentment over Xiao Tian’s marriage to Ye Rou, leaving his whereabouts unknown for eighteen years. His parents spent those years searching for him while building their respective careers. 85

A paternity test confirmed Xiao Tian as his father. Although initially angered by the sudden appearance of a family, Xiao Bei was moved by the account of his parents’ search and gradually accepted the Xiao Family. 85 He was formally welcomed back, recognized by Xiao Yuan, and introduced to the extended family as the third-generation successor. 351 352
