Chapter 1009: Immortal Fairy Lu

After chatting for a while, Zhang Nan asked, “Where is Lu Xian Nu from?”

“She is from Jiang Nan, a famous courtesan from the south of the Yangtze River.”

“Is she good-looking?”

“Extremely beautiful. She is considered the most beautiful woman in the Jiang Nan area. Her family was originally wealthy, but they fell on hard times. Her father became ill and needed money for treatment, so she was forced to sell herself into servitude at a teahouse. She learned singing and dancing there and quickly became famous throughout Jiang Nan. People from all over would come just to see her perform. Even officials and nobles would travel to see her. She was known not only for her beauty and talent but also for her strong character. She never succumbed to the pressures and desires of those who sought to take advantage of her. Many powerful men tried to force her to marry them, but she always refused. She was waiting for someone who would treat her with respect and genuine affection, not just as a possession.”

“So, is she married now?”

“She is. It is said that she married a poor scholar from a noble family. This scholar was struggling financially, but he was talented and intelligent. He admired her greatly and always treated her with respect. Lu Xian Nu also admired his intellect and character. They fell deeply in love, and despite his poverty, she chose to marry him. After they married, she stopped performing and lived a simple life with him. Later, the scholar passed the imperial examinations and became an official. He was known for his honesty and integrity. They had a happy and fulfilling life together.”

“That’s a beautiful story. It seems that Lu Xian Nu was not just a beautiful woman, but also a woman of great character and wisdom.”

“Indeed. She was a remarkable woman who lived a life of dignity and grace, even in difficult circumstances.”
