Chang 'e drank a whole bottle to prevent him from stealing food. In another version, Chang 'e drank a whole bottle of elixir because she couldn't stand the life of mortals. Another version said that Hou Yi and Chang 'e were gods in the sky, and the emperor wanted to get back at them, so he sent them to the earth to become human beings.

Huai Nan Zi (written in BC 139) in the early years of the Western Han Dynasty took the Goddess Chang'e flying to the moon's story as an allusion, invited the immortal medicine to the Queen Mother of the West, and Heng E stole it to the moon, feeling disappointed and lost. In Gaoyou's Notes on Huainanzi in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Heng E also married his wife. She invited the elixir of life to the Queen Mother of the West, but failed to take it. Heng E stole it, and the fairy ran into the moon, which is also the essence of the moon.
