Meng Po Yun Niang's daily job is to serve Meng Po Soup to all manner of ghosts, from the mighty to the meek, the ancient to the newly dead, so they can forget their past lives.
But it was so boring!
So
Meng Po went to discuss a job change with Lord Yama and switched to catching ghosts.
This was just perfect!
Little did she know that a conspiracy was quietly drawing near.
What? She had become the most powerful ruler of the Underworld?
What? She had rewritten the Underworld's standards for punishment?
Wonderful! We have the most powerful ruler of all. We're saved.
Three hundred years later, chaos engulfed the mortal world, and the demons took advantage of the turmoil.
The three realms were in grave danger!
Fear not! Your great immortal savior has arrived!
