Before leaving, Shen Ji asked me to wait for him for five years. Within five years, he would definitely come back.
In five years, there was no news about Shen 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, "Are you here to get his pearl?"
But he didn't rush, took out a pearl hairpin from his arms and presented it to me.
"You have been cultivating pearls for many years, which can be considered a meritorious service. I obtained this pearl for you from Your Majesty. Consider it as a betrothal gift. Let's get married soon!"
Only then did I realize that I was the pearl he wanted to find.
Purpose: Success for ordinary people
