He was conceived when a palace maid drugged the late emperor. To save imperial face, the late emperor hastily gave his birth mother a low title and banished her to the Cold Palace, where he was born on a rainy night. His birth mother beat and cursed him constantly, hoping to rise in status through her son, yet gained no benefit. Lowly servants abused him, and other princes toyed with him as their personal plaything. He remembered every single grudge, developing an obsessive and violent nature in such a hostile environment. At the age of fifteen, he drugged his mother's food and set fire to her palace, burning it and her to the ground. Afterward, he was taken under the Empress Dowager's wing.
