During Ye Han's youth, he lived through the turbulent times of the former Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, when the Ye Family did not favor the former Emperor, but instead placed all their bets on the Crown Prince at the time.
Ye Han was not favored; the Ye Family was a noble and esteemed family that had prospered for hundreds of years. Although Ye Han's father was from the main line, he, however, was not born of the principal wife. His birth mother was his father's concubine, who married into the Ye Family after his father's first wife passed away. His birth mother, a concubine-born daughter, was a first cousin to the principal wife. After marrying into the Ye Family, she couldn't hold her head high in front of her several sons, which also caused young Ye Han to endure much hardship.
Fortunately, Ye Han had determination. At the age of twelve, he coincidentally saved the former Emperor, who was in distress at the time.
