Ling Yao was once a honeysuckle growing beside a cliff in the mortal realm. After receiving a chance at immortality, she was taken to the Celestial Palace and raised there.
Three hundred years later, Ling Yao had become a chubby little ball. With a powerful patron backing her, she roamed the heavenly realm without restraint, using her adorable face to win herself a crowd of admirers.
One day, a clap of thunder suddenly came crashing down on Ling Yao.
Ling Yao thought, 'Could this immortal have brought down heavenly punishment?'
'No! I'm still so young. I don't want to die!'
A certain Emperor heard the little ball's voice and said with a smile, 'How about we bind our souls together?'
