The royal Xia family eventually becomes corrupt, squandering the family fortune and good will of the people.

The fifth Xia king, Si Xiang, who rules in name only and spends most of his reign as a fugitive, is killed in a battle against Han Zhuo's two sons, Han Jiao and Han Yi; his pregnant queen manages to escape and gives birth a few months later to Si Shao Kang, a royal heir unknown to his people.
