Story:
After Miaoyu listened to Daiyu's melancholic zither music with Baoyu, she returned to her nunnery in a daze.
Finishing her daily Buddhist recitations, she sat on her meditation platform. However, she was completely distracted, her mind restless and unsettled, constantly recalling Baoyu's words, her heart racing and ears burning.
She eventually drifted into a muddled sleep, dreaming that numerous noblemen wanted to marry her, and even robbers with knives and clubs threatened her.
Subsequently, she fell seriously ill.
