"And the fisherman was deprived of his right to sail, left only to nightly play the melody he composed with the Saintess by the shores of Jade Ring Lake, yearning for his lover's return until he withered away. That night, the Saintess could no longer hear the enchanting melody; she flew to the lake's heart and left behind a dance based on the melody, encompassing all the joys and sorrows, and then fell into the lake, bidding a final farewell to the mortal world."
The young girl recounted the story gently, without a hint of sadness in her tone, yet the surrounding maids were moved to tears.
Though the story is not novel, the genuine feelings endure, prompting You Su to express:
"Though it's merely a lake that separates them, it resembles an insurmountable chasm, keeping two lovers apart for eternity. Truly worthy of song and lament."
