The history of the Shaw family was a tapestry woven with threads of immense wealth, ancient political ties, and a single, shining star of martial brilliance that had eclipsed almost everything else. Long before Leo Shaw—the biological heir and the current source of his parents' mounting blood pressure—was even a thought in the minds of Sam Shaw and Joy Wong, there had been another.
When Sam Shaw was still a young tycoon navigating the early, volatile days of the Spirit Revival, he and his wife had come across an orphaned girl. She was barely three years old, found amidst the wreckage of a collapsed Quarantine Zone during a minor Beast Tide. They had adopted her on the spot, naming her Sia Shaw. From that moment on, she hadn't just been a member of the family; she had been its heart.
