In her previous life, she was a naive sweetheart, framed by a scheming white lotus. She turned against her father and brothers, severed ties with her mother’s clan, and ultimately watched her family fall apart. The resentment and attachments in her heart would not fade, so she drank barrel after barrel of Meng Po’s soup, ran back and forth along the River of Forgetfulness, and became a familiar face in the King of Hell’s palace. At last, Meng Po could take no more. She went to the King of Hell and pleaded with him to find a way to send the girl away. “Every ghost she meets hears her say my soup has stopped working. I can’t run a business like this!” So the clerk in charge of the Book of Life proposed, “Your Majesty, since she’s so bitter over what happened in her life, why not let her start over? Whether she gets what she wants will depend on her own fate.” And so Hua Qianyu was reborn.
