Yuan Li was originally a ball of ghostfire, drifting through the Underworld's River of Forgetfulness day after day. All the spirits and monsters wanted to devour her, earning her the nickname "the Underworld's Tang Monk's flesh." Luckily, the King of the Underworld picked her up and used her as a bedside candle, allowing her to avoid notice and survive.
During the God of War's sightseeing trip to the Underworld, a gust of evil wind blew Yuan Li onto his robe. She absorbed his spiritual energy, ascended to immortality in the God of War's bath, and was suddenly promoted to Sweepstar Lord, becoming the first deity to save up money to build her own temple!
Whoever made that shoddy robe must have done a terrible job. Even the God of War's robe had loose threads, and one of them had caught her fast.
Back when she was still a ghostfire, Yuan Li had heard all kinds of little ghosts talk about this God of War. So when she took human form in his bath, she trembled in terror. The experience left her traumatized, and now she was determined to save up money and run away.
When Heng Jin descended to the mortal realm to undergo a trial, the Celestial Emperor just had to offer Yuan Li a high salary and assign her to go with him. He even gave her a mission: make sure that turtle of a man dies young!
After three lifetimes of trials, she fell in love with him, but he risked defying the heavens to secretly seek a soul-calming hairpin for his former love.
Yuan Li swallowed her pain and helped him for love's sake, only to uncover the cataclysm that had struck the Six Realms thirty thousand years ago:
The Evil Abyss came into being and wrought havoc. Li Wan, the young lord of the Demon Realm, used forbidden magic to create eight demon-subduing hairpins, sacrificing her life to suppress it. The Six Realms returned to peace.
After returning from three lifetimes, it turned out the one he had loved all along was...
"If I could bring Wanwan back to life, I would defy the laws of heaven. I'd even rip out my own ribs."
"In the Netherworld, flowers bloom in profusion across the other shore. Even if your soul were in just one flower, I would kneel and search for it in every lifetime. What of it..."
"Everyone calls me the Peach Blossom Lord. Peach Blossom Lord, Peach Blossom Lord, a lord of peach blossoms~ How lovely."
[Little Scene 1]
After returning from her trial as a Sweepstar Lord, she shut her manor gates and hid in a corner, not daring to make a sound that might reveal someone was inside.
But the turtle of a God of War still came looking for her. He blocked the entrance and asked, "How about you give up all those flirtatious lovers from the mortal realm?"
