Liu Xi and Juhua had three children in total. The eldest son, Shen Guowen, was the Shen Ten catties of that year, following the maternal grandfather's surname, considered as inheriting the lineage for maternal grandparents' house. The second daughter, Dai Annuo, was named after a royal consort whom Liu Xi admired in his past life. The youngest son, Dai Liren, was named after an actor friend from Liu Xi's past life.
The couple brought all these children to the capital. Compared to the elegance and etiquette of the aristocrats' sons and daughters in the capital, Liu Xi's three children were much more lively and cheerful because Liu Xi always adhered to the principle of allowing children to develop freely. He never deliberately demanded them to learn the ancient people's complicated rituals and ceremonies. In his view, as long as the children were happy and joyful, nothing was better than the children's happiness.
