Long ago, in a remote village, lived a girl named Axiang. She was naturally beautiful and skilled, and even more remarkable was her gentle and kind nature. The villagers all loved her, and whoever sought her help, she always did her best without complaint. Even when facing those with grumpy tempers, she could maintain a gentle attitude, warming everyone's heart with her kindness. One day, a merchant from another village came to the village. He was rude and sarcastic, often offending villagers. The villagers disliked him and even wanted to drive him away. But Axiang was different. She always treated him gently and kindly, patiently listening to his complaints and doing her best to help him solve problems. Over time, the merchant was moved by Axiang's sincerity, and he began to change his behavior, becoming gentle and kind. Axiang's story spread throughout the village, and her gentle and kind character became a model for the villagers to learn from.
