Taiyin

""You know Hui?" "It is only acceptable that I would know him. Hui is my son." "Am I supposed to believe that? I haven't heard Hui speak of his father even once. And if what you said is true, why are you so far away instead of being with him?" "That's natural, I suppose... Since he believes that I am dead.""

- Liu Meiying and Taiyin Taiyin (Chinese: 太阴) was the son of Jinzhi, God of the Sky and Time, and Juhua, Goddess of the Earth and Prophecy. He was the God of the Moon and Life, and the King of the Yin Kingdom. He was the younger brother of Jieyu, God of Balance and Retribution, and Taiyang, God of the Sun and Wealth; the wife of Sha ming, Goddess of Death and Punishment; and the father of Heshui, God of Water and Thunderstorm. Being one of the winged-gods, he was a quiet and peaceful god who chose to be separated from his wife and son in order to cease a war to breakout between the gods; causing Heshui to hate him for leaving him and his mother. He stayed in his Moon Palace all alone in exile, considering it as his punishment for not being a good husband and father.

When Liu Meiying was asked to be placed under his care for some time, he and Heshui reunited. He asked Heshui that before he returned to the Water Kingdom, he wanted them two to hold their wedding at the Moon and spend the first night, as part of an exchange for him taking care of Meiying for the past few days.
