The character Princess Iron Fan is the daughter of the Fire Dragon King. Despite being married to Little White Dragon, Princess Iron Fan had an affair with Nine-Headed Bug while celebrating in the flower room. When the truth was revealed, Little White Dragon got angry and burned the magical treasure bestowed by the Jade Emperor.
Due to this violation, White Dragon was banished to the Sorrowful Eagle River, later becoming the white horse that accompanies Tang Sanzang to the West to obtain scriptures. Along the way, Tang Sanzang and his disciples defeated a group of monsters at the Bich Ba Marsh and killed the Nine-Headed Bug.
