In the distant and mysterious world of Taoist legends, there was once a couple who lived in an old and peaceful small town. The man was named Jun Hao, with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, looking noble and imposing. The woman was called Wan Qing, with her eyebrows like distant mountains and a face as beautiful as peach blossoms, gentle and charming. They had been childhood sweethearts since they were young and grew up together without a single thought of separation. As they grew older, their affection for each other naturally grew into a passionate love. Jun Hao and Wan Qing often walked hand in hand along the brook in the small town, watching the flowing water and listening to the birds singing and frogs croaking. Or they would enjoy the blooming flowers together in the spring flower fields, sharing their tender feelings and sweet words with each other. Everyone thought that they would naturally get married and accompany each other for a lifetime.
However, the course of fate deviated from its expected path unexpectedly. An evil official in the small town coveted Wan Qing's beauty and tried to take her for himself. He secretly framed Jun Hao by accusing him of a serious crime. In that corrupt and dark society, Jun Hao couldn't defend himself despite all his efforts and was thrown into prison, where he suffered a lot. Wan Qing ran around everywhere to seek help, but she was repeatedly rebuffed, and no one dared to speak up for Jun Hao. In the end, Jun Hao died unjustly in prison. Wan Qing was heartbroken and swore at Jun Hao's tomb that if she couldn't be with him in this life, she would definitely continue their relationship in the next life, even if she had to cross thousands of mountains and rivers and endure countless hardships.
Time passed slowly, and the cycle of reincarnation continued. By chance, Wan Qing met a Taoist master dressed in a Taoist robe, who looked otherworldly and had an air of immortality. His eyes were deep, as if he could see through the cause and effect of all things in the world. He saw that Wan Qing was full of sorrow and her tears hadn't dried yet, so he stepped forward to ask her the reason. Wan Qing told the Taoist master everything about her and Jun Hao's tragic experiences, and her words were full of longing for Jun Hao and resentment towards the injustice of fate. After hearing this, the Taoist master nodded slightly and said, "Everything in the world has its own destiny. The bond between you and Jun Hao has not ended yet. Under the mysterious power of Taoism, there is still a possibility for you to continue your relationship." Hearing these words, a spark of hope immediately lit up in Wan Qing's eyes, and she quickly asked the Taoist master how she could find Jun Hao.
The Taoist master closed his eyes and meditated for a moment, then opened them and said slowly, "You need to search patiently in the mortal world. When you see a pair of jadeite earrings, it will be the turning point of your fate. Those earrings will lead you to him." Wan Qing kept the Taoist master's words firmly in her heart and embarked on a long journey of searching from then on.
In the vast sea of people, Wan Qing drifted around for countless years. She had been to prosperous cities where there were tall buildings everywhere and the traffic was busy, but the noisy world didn't make her forget her obsession in her heart. She also went to remote mountain villages where the folk customs were simple and the landscapes were quiet and beautiful, yet the peaceful rural scenery couldn't comfort her heart that missed Jun Hao either. She was always looking for the pair of jadeite earrings that symbolized the turning point of her fate. Everywhere she went, she would carefully pay attention to the stalls and shops on the street.
Finally, in a bustling market, Wan Qing's eyes were firmly attracted by a pair of jadeite earrings. The earrings were as green as if they were dripping with water, with a warm and lustrous sheen, as if they contained endless vitality and mysterious power. Just as she was staring at the earrings, a familiar figure walked past her. She subconsciously turned her head and met the man's gaze. In an instant, time seemed to stand still, and all the noise around gradually faded away, leaving only the deep shock and endless affection in each other's eyes. That man was the reincarnation of Jun Hao.
Jun Hao looked at Wan Qing, a flash of surprise and confusion in his eyes, and a sense of inexplicable familiarity welled up in his heart. Wan Qing's eyes were already filled with tears. She trembled her lips and softly called out Jun Hao's name. Jun Hao's heart skipped a beat. Although he had gone through reincarnation and his memories of his past life were deeply buried in the bottom of his heart, at this moment, facing Wan Qing, those memories seemed to be slowly awakened by an invisible force.
Jun Hao walked forward, bought the pair of jadeite earrings, and then gently put them on for Wan Qing. The jadeite earrings sparkled with a charming light under the sunlight, as if telling their promise of three lifetimes. Jun Hao said, "These earrings are my promise to you. No matter how many reincarnations we go through, I will never be separated from you again." Wan Qing burst into tears and held Jun Hao's hand tightly, saying, "Jun Hao, in this life, we will never be apart again."
Since then, Jun Hao and Wan Qing walked hand in hand. Their love was like the flowers that revived in spring, blooming more and more brightly. They traveled together to famous mountains and great rivers, feeling the wonder and beauty of nature and understanding the way of heaven and earth contained in Taoist culture. In Taoist holy places, they listened to the melodious Taoist music and watched the Taoist priests' cultivation, and their hearts were full of awe and gratitude for the mysterious power of Taoism. They knew deeply that it was the power of Taoism that made them meet again in the vast sea of people and that it was the promise of three lifetimes that allowed their love to continue.
In life, they also adhered to the teachings of Taoism. They were kind to others, respected the old and loved the young, and respected the lives of all things in the world. They planted all kinds of flowers, plants and trees in their courtyard and took good care of them, allowing these living beings to thrive under their care. They believed that everything in the world had spirituality, and treating them kindly was to conform to the way of heaven.
As time went by, the feelings between Jun Hao and Wan Qing grew deeper. They settled down in a peaceful small town and lived a simple and happy life. Every morning, they would read Taoist classics in the courtyard, feeling the wisdom and philosophy in them. In the evening, they would take a walk hand in hand along the streets of the small town, greeting their neighbors and sharing the joys of life with them.
As the years passed, Jun Hao and Wan Qing grew old gradually, but their love never faded. Their story spread in the small town and became a much-told tale among the people. While people were sighing about the firmness and greatness of their love, they were also full of awe and longing for the mysterious power in Taoist culture. That pair of jadeite earrings became a symbol of their love and was treasured in the family, passed down from generation to generation. Every descendant in the family would hear the love story of Jun Hao and Wan Qing when they saw the earrings, and thus feel the unique influence of Taoist culture on marriage and the deep affection that spanned three lifetimes and would never fade away.
And in another corner of this world, many other marriage stories related to Taoism were quietly unfolding.
In an ancient village, there was a young girl named Ling Er. She was born into a poor family, but she was lively, cute and kind-hearted. Ling Er had been curious about and in awe of Taoist culture since she was a child and often followed the elders in the village to visit Taoist temples to worship. When she was sixteen years old, her family encountered a change, and life became even more difficult. In order to help her family get through the hard time, Ling Er decided to go to the market in the town to sell some handicrafts made by herself.
At the market, Ling Er's stall was very simple, but her handicrafts were extremely exquisite and attracted the attention of many people. Among them was a young scholar named Yu Xuan. Yu Xuan came from a scholarly family, was gentle and elegant, and was talented. He was attracted by Ling Er's handicrafts and even more by Ling Er's innocence and kindness. He walked up to her and started talking with her. Ling Er found that Yu Xuan also had a good knowledge of Taoist culture, and they had a great time chatting, as if they had found bosom friends.
Yu Xuan learned about Ling Er's family difficulties and felt pity for her, so he decided to help her. He used his connections and talents to find better sales channels for Ling Er's handicrafts, which gradually improved Ling Er's family's life. During this process, Ling Er and Yu Xuan's feelings for each other grew quietly.
However, their love was not without difficulties. Yu Xuan's family was not satisfied with Ling Er's background and thought that she was not worthy of Yu Xuan. Facing the pressure from his family, Yu Xuan was in a dilemma. When Ling Er learned about this, she was very sad in her heart. She didn't want to make things difficult for Yu Xuan because of herself. But Yu Xuan firmly told Ling Er that he would not give up their love, just like what Taoism advocated - sticking to one's original heart and not being shaken by the outside world.
By chance, Ling Er obtained a golden nanmu bracelet in a Taoist temple. The Taoist priest told her that the bracelet contained the blessing power of Taoism and could bless her love to go smoothly. Ling Er was skeptical, but she still wore the bracelet piously every day and prayed silently.
Perhaps Ling Er's sincerity moved the heavens, or perhaps the golden nanmu bracelet really had magical power. After careful consideration, Yu Xuan decided to go against his family's wishes and be with Ling Er. He made his determination clear to his family and promised that he would try his best to make Ling Er live a happy life. Seeing Yu Xuan's firmness, his family finally had no choice but to compromise.
Ling Er and Yu Xuan finally got together and held a simple but warm wedding. The wedding was held near a Taoist temple, and the surrounding mountains and waters seemed to be blessing their love. After marriage, their life was happy and fulfilling. Yu Xuan continued to study academic knowledge, while Ling Er took care of the household chores, supported her husband and taught her children at home. They always adhered to the teachings of Taoism and integrated kindness, harmony and reverence into every bit of their life.
In a prosperous city, there was also a businessman named Ze Kai. Ze Kai was young and promising. After years of hard work in the business world, he had accumulated a lot of wealth. However, his married life had never been satisfactory. He was so busy with his career that he neglected the management of his feelings, which led to the breakdown of his marriage. Although Ze Kai was still doing well in his career after the divorce, he felt extremely lonely and empty inside.
Once, when Ze Kai was negotiating business with a business partner, he happened to come to an ancient Taoist temple. The quiet atmosphere in the Taoist temple brought a little comfort to his tired heart. In the gift shop of the Taoist temple, he saw a string of Pixiu wealth-attracting bracelets. Ze Kai had heard that Pixiu had the meaning of attracting wealth and treasures in Taoist culture. He thought to himself that perhaps this bracelet could bring him good luck, not only in his career but also in his 感情方面. So he bought the string of bracelets and put it on his wrist.
Since then, Ze Kai's career had been even smoother, and many previously thorny projects were easily solved. And at a business cocktail party, he met a woman named Shi Han. Shi Han was an elegant, generous, intelligent and wise woman who had outstanding achievements in the field of art. Ze Kai was deeply attracted to Shi Han when they first met. They had a great time chatting and found that they had many common interests and values in many aspects.
