Jian Xi was born to a woman whose name he never knew to a father who never even knew he was born. His mother died in child birth and Jian Xi was left at a temple dedicated to both Shizuru and Tsukiyo. He spent his childhood cleaning and caring for the temple learning katas and how to protect oneself from harm.
He never truly fit in with the monks though they were always focused on inner peace and of wisdom. Jian Xi wanted to explore and test himself against others so he set out to find someone who could train him. His journey took him all across Lingshen looking for a master. He finally found one in a small village in Quain named Shan Feng. At first the ageing master refused Jian xi thinking he just like all the other want to be trainees he had seen. Until he saw him stand up for a merchant being strong armed by some street thugs and saw something inside the teenager that changed his mind.
For the next couple of years they traveled the lands training Jian Xi began to learn about the abilities of Heaven's fury, an energy that he said was neither light nor dark but just is. Unfortunately his training is cut short one night they were ambushed by a group of oni and other vile creatures. Seeing how outnumbered they were Jian Xi was determined to die by his masters side, but Shan Feng would not allow his only pupil to die in such an ignoble way commanded him to run as he held them off. With tears stinging his eyes he does as commanded.
Spending the next year alone he tries to study on his own trying to hunt down any evil creature he can find. It is during this time he meets Jade Moon, after being told about an evil creature in the woods by some villagers he heads out to kill it. Upon arriving he instead discovers a beautiful woman with eyes the color of jade and skin pale as the moon, as he approached her he realized her foot was caught in a trap.
Forgetting the villagers warnings he rushes to her side only to see her pointed ears, small feet, and two tails. He rips open the trap and tears a strip of cloth from his shirt and wraps it around her ankle. As he was about to ask her name she gives way to her pain and blacks out. With a sigh he shrugs his shoulders and puts his arm underneath her and and lifts her up, trying not to focus on the feel of her body pressed agains him.
After a few hours, she wakes back up to being carried piggy back style by Jian Xi. She pretends to be asleep for a little while longer while observing her surroundings and him. After he feels her moving he stops, and let's her down. They set up a small camp and begin to talk. He learns her name and where she is from, instantly connecting.
After another day of travel they finally arrived at Jade Moon's village. At first everyone panicked thinking Jian Xi was there to attack. Quickly Jade Moon's mother Amaya calms the rest of the village down. She talked sense into them by pointing out the fact that he rescued her, regardless of the fact that she was in her natural form. That night they held a dinner celebrating their new quest he stays here learning about them and most importantly about Jade Moon. The two fall deeply in love and are soon married after a couple of years.
The two soon hear about King Huang's push to free Shenmen after talking to the village elders they are given permission to take the king's offer that way the village can be moved to this new kingdom. The village was dying and this might be the last chance it had, and with that the two left for the capital of Lingshen. Jian Xi hopes to find a new home for Jade Moon and his new family and also hopes to make a name for himself as a true swordsman continuing his training with Heaven's Fury.
