Hao Xian grew up with his adoptive father in a winery. Whenever his father or the other men came home after a rough day, they'd take their frustrations out on Hao Xian. He spent every day on edge, always trying to stay out of their way. One day, to escape a beating, he accidentally tumbled into a giant wine vat. The sight made the drunk men burst out laughing, but for once, Hao Xian got to enjoy a rare day of peace—no one bothered to hit him.
From then on, Hao Xian started to believe that the wine vat was the safest place in the world.
Despite every effort Chen Quan made after they moved to the Ghostlight Market, Hao Xian just couldn't bring himself to leave the vat. In the end, Chen Quan relented and gave Hao Xian two of his own wine recipes, offering him both a place to stay and a purpose in the Ghostlight Market.
