Mo Ran, the Lord of Hell, established the Myriad Ghost Path, only to suffer a backlash that scattered her soul.
With her life and cultivation about to end, she exhausted her power to leave behind a fragment of her soul in the world. Ten thousand years later, she was reborn in the mortal realm, in a poor little village.
Her fate was dark and ill-starred: a life without love, filled only with suffering.
Her father never cared for her, and her mother didn’t love her. Her only value in life was to wash clothes and earn money for the family.
At the age of sixteen, her own father crushed her to death with a single kick, right into the washbasin. After she died, she entered the Underworld. The King of the Underworld took a liking to her and appointed her head of an office, responsible for dealing with vengeful spirits in the mortal realm.
Yet the disturbances in the Underworld caught the attention of the Divine Lord Chang Ze. He entered the realm to investigate, only to discover that the person before him was someone he had known long ago.
When a conspiracy was exposed, she returned to Hell. A heartless flame leaped and danced to welcome its old master.
Beneath the Naihe Bridge by the River of Forgetfulness, the Divine Lord crossed over from the other shore and gazed at the girl in fluttering red robes.
“Would you, Ghost Lord Mo Ran, be willing to wed me and rule by my side in the Celestial Realm?”
