After brewing soup for three thousand years, Meng Po fell in love with the Great Emperor of Fengdu, who came every year to fetch a bowl for a mortal woman. At last, she decided to resign, sacrificing all her cultivation to gain a mortal body for one lifetime so she could search the human world for the “moonlight he could never forget.” She discovered that she looked exactly like that woman! Approaching the mortal business tycoon as her “replacement,” she endured his coldness and humiliation, all to uncover the truth. But just as she grew utterly disheartened and decided to drink the last bowl of Meng Po soup she had hidden away, so she could forget him forever, the CEO regained his memories of the underworld and chased her to the banks of the River of Forgetfulness like a madman. “My lady, after brewing soup for three thousand years, why did you forget to save even one bowl for me?”
