From childhood, Kongliu the Silver Moon Wolf knew deeply the cruelty of this world. Silver Moon Wolves are aristocrats among the wolf pack, and the competition within them is exceptionally brutal. Wolf cubs face threats from both their own kind and other creatures the moment they are born.
Kongliu's background was like that of the Wolf King in *The Wolf King's Dream*: to help it survive, its mother lured away a large group of hostile wolves by herself and was ultimately brutally killed. Kongliu went through untold hardships before finally returning to its original wolf pack. Yet the waters among the Silver Moon Wolves ran even deeper. It first played the fool for a few years, then ambushed the old Wolf King while he was distracted, killing him with a single blow.
Thus, Kongliu successfully ascended to the top. Of course, if anyone thought this new Wolf King only knew such cowardly tricks of ambushing, the Wolf King would show you the true meaning of cruelty. Aside from battling other enemies, most of the scars on Kongliu's body came from its own kind.
