She was a monk in the Shaolin Temple, the temple leader (Red Eyebrow) promised her that she would be the next temple leader. However, over time, Bak Mei developed the Dim Mak by using Chinese medicine methods, applying force to specific points on the body to generate different reactions. Because of this she was disowned, and Red Eyebrow gave the title post to someone else. She got frustrated, joined the Manchu and killed everyone in the temple with a fire. There were only 5 survivors left.
