Due to his rebellious nature, Law Fei suffered a traumatic childhood with abuse and maltreatment from his bad-tempered but famous sculptor father.

The dark childhood turned Law Fei into a weirdo frequently tormented by the pain of childhood memories as well as hallucination of his dead father. Law Fei betrayed his father's artistic career and chose to become a magician and performer of extremities instead, to prove his own capabilities. During one of his death-defying show, Law Fei was seriously wounded by shocks of his childhood nightmares. Not knowing the truth behind it, his girlfriend thought he was stretching his physical strength too far. She therefore took him to a quiet retreat in the suburb to recuperate.
