Pearl Diver

Before leaving, Chuji asked me to wait for him for five years. Within five years, he would definitely come back. In five years, there was no news from Chu Ji, and even the pearl clam he entrusted me to take good care of was also missing. Maybe this is life! He and I never had a chance. Unexpectedly, he came back that night. I asked him if he came to get his pearl. But he was not in a hurry, and took out a pearl hairpin from his arms and handed it to me: I have been paying tribute to the county for decades, and the people have been deeply oppressed and miserable. I have clearly clarified the pros and cons, and your Majesty has ordered that the county does not need to pay tribute to pearls anymore. You have been cultivating pearls for many years, which can be considered a meritorious service. I asked for this pearl from Your Majesty for you. Take it as a betrothal gift. We will get married soon! Only then did I realize that I was the pearl he wanted to find. This novel and its characters are purely fictitious.
