Shi Haku, later titled Shi Ei and Earl Shi, rose as a Great General of Wei and a pivotal member of the Seven Fire Dragons. Born the stepson of the prior Earl Shi, he endured a brutal childhood scarred by neglect and abuse. His stepfather, embittered by their lack of blood ties, thrust him into savage battles from youth, where he survived countless mortal ordeals. By 15, he had slain over 500 foes, forging his reputation as a martial prodigy. His sole solace was his stepsister and lover, Shi Kika—a kindred spirit shaped by shared trauma. After their mothers perished in an epidemic, the pair endured relentless cruelty from their household. Their bond intensified into defiance, and they sought marriage, denied cruelly by their stepfather. During a campaign, Shi Haku learned Shi Kika had been forcibly wedded to Tai Ro Ji, a Fire Dragon infamous for slaughtering wives. When she refused to disavow Shi Haku, Tai Ro Ji executed her. Consumed by fury, Shi Haku slaughtered his stepfather and allied with Fire Dragons Rei Ou and Gai Mou, waging war against Tai Ro Ji, Shou Sen, and Ba Tou—slaying all three himself in a vengeful crusade. As retribution, Shi Haku and his allies were condemned to 14 years in a lightless cell. Freed during Wei’s clash with Qin, he aligned with Go Hou Mei’s army. In combat, he demonstrated peerless spear mastery, overwhelming foes through raw power and surgical precision. His techniques, honed in survival’s crucible, let him deliver fatal strikes before adversaries sensed danger. Yet his indifference to survival, a void left by Shi Kika’s death, rendered him vulnerable. Confronting Qin’s Ou Hon, this fatal flaw was exploited, sealing his defeat. Dying, he envisioned reuniting with Shi Kika—a fleeting mirage embodying his yearning for transcendence beyond vengeance. Earl Shi endures as Wei’s supreme spearman and a tragic figure shaped by love and vengeance. His narrative weaves martial brilliance with intimate calamity, mirroring war’s psychological ravages and the desolation of severed bonds.
