She was eleven years old when she met him.
He was a god in heaven. He passed by the mortal world and rescued her from wandering. He also gave her a paper fan and willow branches as bones.
He said: I will give you a willow-bone fan to keep you safe throughout your life.
From then on, she used a fan as a weapon and lived freely in the world.
Seven years later, she nourished the fan with raw blood to activate her divine power and killed the flaming beast (mǒu) that was causing harm to the human world and plaguing the heaven. Her merits were immeasurable and she soared to heaven.
I don't know where the love started, but I am deeply in love.
She went through all kinds of hardships to see him, but he had lived for 200,000 years, but he never knew what love was. She was disheartened and scattered the willow-bone fan. In an instant, the willow-bones were shattered, paper feathers flew, and she destroyed her soul and disappeared into ashes.
Another seven years.
In Chang'an, in the mortal world, in late spring, she looked back, and in the rolling red dust, he was dressed in white, looking at her for a moment.
She smiled with tears streaming down her face.
In seven years, she broke all the willows in Chang'an, but she could not forget him.
If this is a dream, I just hope that I will not wake up from the dream, and the city will be full of catkins flying.
