Origin Story

村子里住着一位美丽的姑娘，名叫小莲。她天生丽质，秀发如瀑，明眸善睐，举手投足间都散发着迷人的魅力。每当她走过田间小路，总能吸引众多男子的目光，他们有的驻足观看，有的窃窃私语，更有甚者，会大胆上前搭讪。小莲虽然温柔善良，但却不喜欢这种招蜂引蝶的生活，她更向往平静安宁的日子。为了避免不必要的麻烦，小莲开始刻意避开人群，选择在清晨或黄昏时分外出，或者干脆待在家里纺织女红。但她那与众不同的气质，依然无法完全掩盖，偶尔还是会吸引一些人的注意。后来，一位来自城里的秀才看中了小莲的才华和美貌，向她表达爱意。小莲被他的真诚所打动，答应了他的求婚。婚后，小莲和丈夫过着幸福的生活，再也没有出现过招蜂引蝶的困扰。

In a village lived a beautiful girl named Xiaolian. She was naturally beautiful, with long flowing hair, bright eyes, and a graceful manner. Whenever she walked along the country road, she attracted the attention of many men. Some stopped to watch, others whispered, and some even dared to approach her. Although Xiaolian was gentle and kind, she didn't like this life of attracting so much attention. She longed for a peaceful and quiet life. To avoid unnecessary trouble, Xiaolian began to deliberately avoid crowds, choosing to go out in the early morning or evening, or simply staying home to do needlework. But her exceptional charm could not be completely hidden, and occasionally she still attracted the attention of some people. Later, a scholar from the city fell in love with Xiaolian's talent and beauty and expressed his love to her. Xiaolian was moved by his sincerity and accepted his proposal. After their marriage, Xiaolian and her husband lived happily ever after, and she never again experienced the troubles of attracting unwanted attention.
