Yeah, the story is that the emperor, an excellent warrior, was searching

 his rule.  However, his wife knew that she was a tyrant, so when he found

Actually, the story is that there was a great warrior who shot down nine suns
with a bow and left only one to shine (because the planet was burning) and in
reward, the main Earth Emperor gave him a. . .pill, I think (or was that
peach?  It's been so long since I read it) for immortality.  The warrior was

Actually, the way I heard it anyway, was that there were nine suns but 
each took there a turn to shine on the Earth. One day, though, they got 
bored and decided to show up at the same time. The Earth, rather 
predictablely began frying. So then the Emperor of Heaven (or something) 
asked a great archer god to try and persude them to return to the way
they
were and on failing that, kill them (the suns were his sons).

After being unable to convince them, the archer (don't remember his
name)
shot down 8 of the 9 suns. But, because the Emperor was striken with
grief
for his eight dead sons, the archer and his wife were banaished to
Earth.

A couple thousand years later, the archer managed to devise a pill that
would give one immortallity and would rise back to the Heavens. But
because he loved his wife he suggested that they split the pill so 
they could live forever, but on the Earth. The wife refused and demanded
another pill be made. The archer went and started work on the second
pill
and while he was doing this the wife stole the first pill and started 
flying into the sky. She thought the other deities would dislike her 
because she abandoned her husband so she went to the moon instead.

I can't quite remember where she got the rabbit from but I think
either the husband threw onw at her or she dragged one up for company.

Of course, I could be wrong about the whole thing so...
