Mie cannot exist independently; Mie must be parasitic upon Sheng.
All Mie, before being seen by people, will apply powder and rouge to disguise itself in the likeness of Sheng.
Perhaps it is to redeem sins and reach heaven, perhaps to accumulate points for a next life, perhaps to joyfully welcome the East Asian Coprosperity Sphere, perhaps to bury one's child to serve one's mother as a filial son, or perhaps to change into a designer bag to be an elite among elites.
Regardless, if we only look at the behavior and the results, it is not difficult to infer the underlying purpose, and thus its Sheng-Mie attribute becomes self-evident.
Sheng used to form Mie, Sheng is also Mie.
