It is a habit in the Han family to rise early and practice martial arts, with Han Yue being the only sleep-loving exception. However, Mother Han was without a doubt the earliest riser in the household. Having spent a long time together with Father Han, he had come to learn all about her past.
Ah! Two words sum it up: "pitiful." Mother Han had once been the most brilliant flower of Shida'an Village.
