Once upon a time, in a beautiful village nestled in the mountains, there lived a young man named Aniu and a maiden named Axang. Aniu was hardworking and kind, while Axang was gentle and wise. They had been childhood sweethearts, inseparable and deeply in love. They often worked together in the fields, played together in the mountains, and washed their silk together by the stream. They were like a pair of happy mandarin ducks, always together, supporting each other through thick and thin. One day, Aniu and Axang went to the market together. On the way, they met a fortune teller. The fortune teller looked at their hands and smiled, saying, "You two are a perfect match, destined to be together. You will surely live happily ever after." Aniu and Axang were overjoyed. From that day on, they cherished their relationship even more, supporting and encouraging each other in their pursuit of happiness. They loved each other throughout their lives and lived happily ever after. Their love story has been passed down through generations, becoming a beautiful tale.
