## History

### Life as A Human

#### The Green Siren

A young beautiful woman, Liu Qianqiao gained the name Green Siren for her appearances and coquette attitude. She seduced many men, married and unmarried. Liu Qianqiao eventually caught the eye of Mount Hua's Sect master, Yu Qiufeng, and they had an affair together despite Yu Qiufeng being married and Liu Qianqiao knowing so.

#### Death and Rebirth

The affair between Liu Qianqiao and Yu Qiufeng was known to the world, and by default, Yu Qiufeng's wife. Enraged by this scandal, she went to punish Liu Qianqiao solely by attacking Liu Qianqiao, hitting her twice and stabbing her once. Yu Qiufeng's wife was not satisfied with Liu Qianqiao's only being beaten, and proceeded to disfigure her face to tarnish her reputation, and strip her naked of her clothes and parade her to three continuous days, letting all the martial arts world know that Liu Qianqiao is an ugly adulterer in spirit and in appearance.

Broken-hearted by her lover's betrayal who stood by, and allowed his wife to beat and humiliate her, Liu Qianqiao planned to commit suicide, however, she was stopped by Luo Fumeng, who pitied her as a woman wronged in a society that values brotherhood more than love. Luo Fumeng saved her and brought her to live as Ghost in the Ghost Valley under her service.

Because of Luo Fumeng's leniency, Liu Qianqiao was able to refuse to drink the Meng Po Soup, so she was able to remember Yu Qiufeng despite becoming a Ghost. During her travels, she happened to meet Siji Manor's master, Qin Huaizhang. Liu Qianqiao made him a favour and in return, he taught her the skills of disguise to hide her scarring.

Liu Qianqiao formed sisterhood with the girls in the Unfaithful Department, and formed a bond with Gu Xiang.
