When Xie Ning died, she thought that God would send her soul back to the house to say goodbye to Zhao An. Unexpectedly, she was accused of serious crimes such as murder, jealousy, entrapment, infidelity and treason, and was abandoned by Zhao An.
Zhao An didn't know that she had been dead for fifteen days. Her body was hung on a tree on the cliff and it took forty-nine days to decompose.
When he went through all the difficulties to find her, he did not eat, drink or sleep in the tree, trying to leave a handful of loess, but in the end he left nothing.
