The Opening Scene of Zhong Kui's "I Want to Be the King of Hades"

A thousand years ago, Cui Xuan was still a human being, a gentle scholar. On his way to Beijing to take the exam, he was deceived by a demon and had people kill him to form a ghost marriage. The resentment persisted, and in the following decades, he turned into a evil ghost and killed everyone in the village who had participated in the underworld marriage, and even killed Zhong Kui by surprise. When the king of hell found out, he imprisoned him in the underworld for a thousand years. A thousand years later, Cui Xuan cultivated and became a demon, broke through the restrictions of the underworld and returned to the world. In order to avoid the pursuit of the King of Hell, he hid in the body of the young Jiang He with his memories and was reborn. After the rebirth, Cui Xuan changed his name to Jiang Yuan. There was no one in charge of the evil ghosts in the underworld, so the evil ghosts fled to the world one after another. The King of Hell was helpless and had to capture the real soul of Jiang Yuan instead of Cui Xuan, and made Cui Xuan transform into Zhong Kui to dominate all the evil ghosts in the world. Cui Xuan thought, it was a blessing in disguise, how could he not agree to such a good thing, but since he wanted to do it, he would do the best, so he secretly revised the underworld scroll and simply became the king of Hades.
