In This Life, I Became the Poseidon in Fujian

In the middle and late Ming Dynasty, the people of Fengwei City in Quangang, Fujian Province were struggling to survive under the intrusion of Japanese pirates and government exploitation. Liu Yiniang, who was born in the twelfth year of Hongzhi's reign, was smart since she was a child. Although she had no poetry or books due to her poor family, she became an expert at weaving nets and was kind-hearted. She often guided those who wandered back home, and was highly praised by her neighbors. When she was eighteen years old, Yi Niang married into the Cheng family according to custom. On the way, when her younger brother asked for sugar cane, she used a red bun rope to tie money and break the sugar cane to appease her. However, she was misunderstood by the sugar cane owner and stole it. She was insulted and slapped. She hung herself from a beam that night. She was only twenty years old. Her death shocked the fishing town, and the people turned from anger to nostalgia and admiration. They made a statue of her with gold, revered her as "Yi Lie Aunt", and built a "Yi Lie Temple". Her efficacious deeds spread far and wide. During the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, Mao Bo Wennan, Minister of the Ministry of War, conquered her and Lin Moniang's advice in a dream. Emperor Jiajing awarded her the "Yi Lie Empress". She, Mazu and Mrs. Linshui were also called "Aunt, Second Mom, and Third Mom". With the development of fishing and shipping in Fengwei, the belief spread to Taiwan and Southeast Asia, and the Liu family in Taipei respected her as the "Second Goddess of the Straits." However, the belief was interrupted by the boundary relocation order in the early Qing Dynasty, and it was resumed after the boundary was restored. During the Mid-Autumn Festival of the third year of the reign of Emperor Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty, she possessed a mute cook to warn of a shipwreck. She herself was imprisoned in the "Heavenly Prison" for three years for leaking secrets. Later, she was saved by an eminent monk and took refuge under the Guanyin Seat. Her divine power was enhanced by the light and compassion of the Buddha. The novel will revolve around Liu Yiniang's legendary journey and show the folk beliefs, marine life and fishermen's spirit along the coast of Fujian.
