    Ma Qiniang is extremely filial to her mother-in-law. In the face of her mother-in-law's rude abuse, she always takes filial piety as the greatest, morality as the first, never collides with the elderly, and obeys her mother-in-law with all her filial piety. One day, Ma Qiniang went out to work and came home, and when she passed by the mountain behind the house, she met an immortal dressed in disguise and gave her a pill.

    Qi Niang curiously tried the taste of pills, and since then she has felt as if she has gained divine power. Walking as fast as flying, a night of hard work to rub the thread and accept two soles, rice sieve to dry sesame seeds, bamboo pole to dry pickled eggs, one after another legendary stories have spread.
