His father, Wang Ying, was a wealthy man in Tokyo. He specialized in running government offices, instigating lawsuits, causing mischief, and suppressing good people. Therefore, people ignored him. He listened to a Feng Shui master and took a fancy to a piece of shady land, where he could be the son of a wealthy man.

This land was where Wang Phen's relatives were buried, and Wang Phen and Mr. Feng Shui framed it. Wang Yin came out and filed a lie against the family. The lawsuits continued for many years and the family property was wiped out. The family was no match for Wang Yin, so they left Tokyo and lived far away.

Later, Wang Qing rebelled, and all three tribes were barbarians. This family was the only one far away. The government found out that Wang Zhen was killed, and was the only one who was saved.
