Some families have topics that everyone avoids talking about.

Maybe it’s the time Grandpa’s fake teeth fell into the noodles or when the baby walked around wearing Dad’s underwear on her head.

In my family, it was more serious. Nobody wanted to talk about my mom.

But I was sick of not knowing what had happened to her. I finally got some answers at family dinner one night.

“ Chen Xiang, ” my great-aunt, The Queen Mother of the West, said. “ To make a long story short, your mom’s an immortal.

But she fell in love and got married to your dad, who is human. That’s against the rules of heaven.
