He was originally a monk who fasted and chanted Buddha's name all his life, and she was originally the daughter of a merchant who lived a wealthy life.
But she had been weak since she was a child, and experts said she would not survive more than two decades. When she was in her late teens, she was entrusted with the son of a high-ranking family and defected to find a life of her own.
