Fun Fact: 



The Bride of Nine Spiders is one of the most mysterious Immortal Weapons.  One legend concerning her is that a great martial artist named Murderous Lion held a tournament in her honor.  Murderous Lion's intention was for the winner of the tournament to earn the right to marry the beautiful Bride of Nine Spiders.  However, the Bride saw the tournament as an affront to her immortality and found the idea of marrying any mortal beneath her.  Rather than accept the winner of the tournament as a husband she challenged him to a match.  The winner turned out to be Murderous Lion himself and he ended up in a death match with his would be wife.  The two gravely injured each other and many suspect both died.  The Singing Spider was an immortal spider that was supposedly found at the site of the battle was used as evidence that the legend was real.
The Bride of Nine Spiders that was encountered by Danny Rand was a different woman than the woman encountered Orson Randall many years earlier.  It is possible that the earlier Bride of Nine Spider died in the manner of the legend.
