Story:
During the Tang Dynasty, Ou Ming, a scholar from Luling, found no path to an official career through examinations. He had no choice but to travel to the South Sea with friends to engage in business.
As they reached Pengze, they discussed the legendary Qinghong Jun while on the lake. Ou Ming deeply admired Qinghong Jun. Suddenly, a wide path appeared on the lake's surface. Qinghong Jun sent an envoy to invite Ou Ming to descend.
There, Qinghong Jun married his maid, whose name was "Ruyuan" ("如愿", meaning "as one wishes"), to Ou Ming. From that day forward, everything in their lives unfolded exactly as they desired, and they lived a life of constant fulfillment.
