Dai Hao

Biodata

History

Dai Hao brings six-year-old Ye Tianming, an old acquaintance’s orphan, home from the battlefield and adopts him after seeing his Innate Full Soul Power and Azure Dragon Martial Soul. He orders the household to treat the boy as a son and later rewards his talent with Soul Tool books and lessons 1 6.

Years spent away at war leave Dai Hao’s household in his wife’s hands. He avoids acknowledging Huo Yun’er, a former maid with whom he has a daughter, and does not see the hardship in which they live. When Ye Tianming tells him that Yun’er is gravely ill, Dai Hao visits her and Dai Yutong, then arranges medicine, repairs to their courtyard, and their proper allowances 8 9.

Before another border campaign, Dai Hao gives Tianming a Command Token and asks him to care for Yun’er and Yutong. After returning, he learns that the duchess tried to send them away during his absence. He admits his neglect, formally enters Yun’er into the family register as a concubine, recognizes Yutong as the mansion’s Third Young Lady, and orders equal treatment for her. He warns the household against mistreating either of them 11 12 14.

Dai Hao later guides Tianming’s first Soul Ring hunt. When Tianming and Yutong decide to attend Shrek Academy, he provides a recommendation letter and Command Token. He also asks that Yutong travel under her mother’s surname, Huo, to avoid the attention drawn by the Dai name 15 16 24.
