History

Past

Zhong Lizi and Bai Jinjin met and fell in love at some point. However, Jinjin's father did not approve of their relationship, especially given Lizi's financial status, so he planned to leave on his own and become successful before returning to Jinjin. However, Jinjin didn't let him leave without her and he realized how much he loved her and wanted to be with her.

Year 680

In the year 680, Zhong Lizi attended the Designer's Tea Party with Bai Jinjin serving as his model at their booth. At this event, they met Nikki, Momo, Bobo and Lunar. However, during the event, he made up an excuse for her to leave the booth and asked another model to try on another type of design. Jinjin witnessed the interaction and he had to chase her down in order to apologize for her.

Things only got worse when Dansu, a dancer and assassin, was sent to the event to track down Bai Jinjin. Lizi and Jinjin bade Nikki goodbye and left for the north, but Jinjin could not handle the cold weather, so they returned to Long Street, Cloud. However, they quickly had to leave there after Qiong, another agent of Bai Jinjin's father, was sent after them.
