Filming for "Young Empress" was in full swing, and Mo Caihuan and Mei Ning had quite a few scenes together.
Mei Ning played the second wife, an upright woman from a scholarly family who was an indispensable matriarch of the Mo Family.
When Mo Caihuan met her on set, she confirmed that this was the female cultivator who had helped Han Li in the Netherworld Land. She possessed the special "Jade-Phoenix Marrow Body" and its "Spirit Communication Qi," one of the Seven Pure Spiritual Qis. In the Netherworld Land, where magic power could not be used, it was thanks to her that Han Li had managed to wield his magic power, climb the highest peak, and escape.
However, after arriving in the Heavenly South, she had parted ways with Han Li. Her next appearance had been in Devilfall Valley, after which nothing more was heard of her.
She had once hoped to become Han Li's Dao Companion, but Nangong Wan was the only woman on his mind.
"Miss Mei, are you free tonight? I'd like to run through our lines together," Mo Caihuan said.
"Of course. Come to my room." The dignified, delicate-featured Mei Ning genuinely thought Mo Caihuan wanted to rehearse their lines. They had quite a few scenes together.
In the story, Mei Ning represented the rigid matriarch, constantly restricting Mo Caihuan with traditional thinking and only showing concern for her daughter behind her back. Mo Caihuan, meanwhile, represented the younger generation's daring spirit, always challenging tradition.

All of this was dramatization. In reality, once Mo Caihuan had demonstrated her abilities, all four of her mothers had supported her wholeheartedly. They were united, without nearly so much dramatic conflict.
But audiences liked it, so the screenwriters
