In his previous life, Jiang Yao was passing Mount Yeshan when he kindly rescued an old woman. She was filthy and stank, and made things difficult for him at every turn along the way, but he patiently put up with it all. Later, the old woman transformed into a beautiful woman and abducted Jiang Yao to the Nether River, forcing him to become her child bridegroom. The Lord of the Nether River treated Jiang Yao reasonably well. The only drawback was that she was a little old, a full three hundred years older than him. She was also rather roguish, pestering him to drink and carouse all day long. The Lord of the Nether River forced Jiang Yao to learn all sorts of skills and kept him imprisoned in the underworld for three whole years.
Later, the five great sects joined forces to attack the underworld. At the critical moment, Jiang Yao couldn't help but step in to protect her. Lan Wangshu was gravely wounded and, with death imminent, gave Jiang Yao her life-bound lotus. That night, Jiang Yao subdued the Three Ghost Kings single-handedly and became famous in a single battle. From then on, the world had one fewer group of evil ghosts and one more champion of justice, Lord Fuguang.
Many years later, Jiang Yao happened to pass through a marketplace when a young woman suddenly wrapped her arms around his waist and begged him to take her as his disciple. The blue lotus that had been dormant for years suddenly glowed, and Jiang Yao knew she had returned.
