One of the Four Great Noble Marquis, Hong Residence, has stood unyielding since the establishment of Daxia, unlike other noble families that have begun to wane in influence. Instead, Hong Residence has flourished even more and rose from the ranks to stand at the top of the Four Great Noble Marquis, even subtly contending for a status on par with the Founding Marquis Qinghai.
The continued prosperity of Hong Residence is partly due to its impressive roster of talents.
In contrast to the children of other noble families, every son and daughter of Hong Residence is required to train in Martial Arts.
The males begin their official careers at the age of fourteen, while the females are arranged to marry into other noble families or become allied with important officials from Daxia.
Hong Residence also secretly controls the underworld forces of Xia Capital, ensuring that at any moment, they are the first to be informed of any movements in the city.
