- Sha ming and Hui

Sha ming (Chinese: 杀命) was the Goddess of Death and Punishment. She was the wife of Taiyin, God of the Moon and Life, making her the Queen of the Yin Kingdom; and the mother of Heshui, God of Water and Thunderstorm. She was incredibly beautiful but many gods are afraid of her because of her powers and she was against her son's romantic affair since the death of her ideal daughter-in-law Lianhua, Goddess of Wisdom and Warfare. It was revealed that because of the prophecy that surrounds her son's future, he breaks connection with him hundred years ago in order to earn Heshui's anger in fear that she'll be used by Huang against him. The only reason that she established relation with him again was due to her husband's wish for them to be reunited, only then for her fear to happen in reality.

She was against the marriage between her son and Liu Meiying that she negotiated with Mei that if she loves Heshui indeed, she'll know how to let him go since he is a god and she is a human. Mei followed her words, and for four years, she was held captive by Huang to control Heshui. She realized later on that her actions had led to the destruction of her own son.
