When Xi Cheng was eight years old, his mother had fallen ill and passed away. The jade pendant was the silhouette of his mother's once glorious and wealthy family. Therefore, even when she was in urgent need of medical fees in the late stages of cancer, his mother did not sell the jade pendant. Instead, she left this jade pendant behind for Xi Cheng before her death.
Later on, when Xi Cheng was living a hard life, he would rather work as a mercenary and earn some money with his life on the line than have any thoughts about selling that jade pendant.
