Su Yao was born in a small mountain village. Because her biological father was a heavy drinker, she had a miserable childhood. After he beat her mother to death, he eventually died as well. Su Yao then set fire to the house she had lived in for ten years and fled to Taoyuan County, where she survived by begging. By chance, she learned that a girl named Su Yao, who shared her name, had found her biological parents. Su Yao assumed the girl’s identity, becoming her replacement and living a carefree life in her place. Later, when her sect held its once-every-three-years selection for children with spiritual roots, Su Yao took part too. She discovered that she had a spiritual root and successfully joined Jiyun Sect, embarking on her cultivation journey. As she trained and honed herself little by little, she became the Empress of the Supreme Dao.
