In the bustling and noisy mortal world, there was a young couple. The husband was named Su Zhe, and the wife was called Lin Wan. The two had been childhood sweethearts, innocent and carefree. When they first fell in love, they made a promise to be together for a lifetime. With the blessings of their relatives and friends, they walked into the marriage hall hand in hand. At that time, their eyes were full of longing and sweetness for the future, firmly believing that love could overcome all difficulties and obstacles.
At first, their life was like a poem. Su Zhe worked hard every day. To give his wife a warm home, he was not afraid of the scorching sun and heat, nor the cold wind. He sweated on the construction site, carrying heavy bricks and stones. His hands were covered with calluses, and his back gradually became bent. Lin Wan took care of the household chores at home, keeping the small house tidy and spotless. She carefully cooked every meal, waiting for her husband to come back. Although the food was simple, it was full of deep love. In their spare time, the two would hold hands and stroll along the country paths, watching the sunset and the starry sky, sharing their hearts, and their laughter echoed in the fields.
However, the track of life quietly changed unexpectedly. In order to seek better development and create more affluent living conditions for his family, Su Zhe had to leave his hometown and go to a distant big city to work hard. On the day of parting, Lin Wan held Su Zhe's hand tightly, with tears in her eyes, reluctant to let go and giving countless instructions. Su Zhe's eyes were also red. He gently wiped away his wife's tears and promised to return as soon as he achieved success.
The prosperity and opportunities in the big city dazzled Su Zhe. He rushed between various construction sites every day, busy entertaining clients and dealing with complex interpersonal relationships. The busy work made him physically and mentally exhausted. Often, he didn't drag his heavy body back to the small rented room until late at night and then fell asleep immediately. Meanwhile, Lin Wan, who was far away in her hometown, had to take care of her elderly parents-in-law and manage the farm work in the fields. Her life was equally difficult.
At first, the two could still express their longing to each other through phone calls. But as time went by, due to work pressure, the trivialities of life, and the distance, their communication became less and less. The once nightly phone calls gradually turned into once a week, and later, there were only a few words once a month. Their words lacked the former intimacy and care and had more strangeness and alienation. Misunderstandings and conflicts unconsciously emerged, and the estrangement was like a thick haze, quietly hanging over their hearts.
Once, Lin Wan accidentally sprained her ankle while working in the field. She was full of grievances and helplessness and immediately dialed Su Zhe's phone. However, Su Zhe was having an intense negotiation with the client on the construction site and had his phone on silent, so he didn't answer it in time. When he finished his work and saw the missed call, it was already late at night. When he called back, Lin Wan was crying on the other end of the phone. Su Zhe was full of guilt but didn't know how to comfort her. His words were full of powerlessness and helplessness. This incident, like a fuse, completely ignited the dissatisfaction in their hearts, and quarrels and cold wars ensued. The once rock-solid love was on the verge of collapsing under the impact of reality.
Just when their relationship was on the brink of despair, Lin Wan accidentally heard that there was a highly respected hermit living in the deep mountains dozens of miles away from the village. He was proficient in strange arts, the theory of yin and yang and the five elements, and could draw 神奇的符箓 to help people solve difficulties. Lin Wan seemed to grasp the last straw. With a glimmer of hope in her heart, she ignored her still-unhealed ankle injury and embarked on the journey to seek the hermit. The mountain road was rugged and difficult to travel, with thorns everywhere, scratching her cheeks and arms. But she didn't care at all. There was only one thought in her mind: to regain the happiness she had before.
After going through hardships, Lin Wan finally found the hermit's residence. It was a simple and ancient small courtyard hidden deep in the mountains and forests, surrounded by green trees and swaying bamboo, like a paradise away from the world. The hermit was an old man with white hair, dressed in a washed-out white Taoist robe. He had a thin face, but his eyes were as deep as secluded pools, revealing the wisdom of seeing through the world. When Lin Wan saw the hermit, she knelt down with a thud and cried, telling him about her past with her husband and the difficulties they were facing.
The hermit nodded slightly, with a look of pity in his eyes. He gently helped Lin Wan up and said, "Child, don't be sad. There is a solution to everything in the world." After saying that, he turned and entered the house. Soon after, he walked out slowly, holding two 符箓 in his hand. These two 符箓 were made of fine yellow paper, with a simple and ancient luster, and were carefully painted with strange and complex patterns in cinnabar. One 符箓 had the two characters "Harmony" written on it. The strokes were vigorous, as if containing a powerful cohesive force that could reunite separated hearts. The other 符箓 had the character "Longevity", implying that the couple would accompany each other for a long time and have a worry-free life. The hermit handed the two 符箓 to Lin Wan solemnly and instructed, "Child, these two 'Couple Charms' you and your husband should wear close to your bodies. They 凝聚着道家先辈们对人间真情的祈愿与护佑之力，perhaps helping you dissolve your misunderstandings and regain your former love."
Lin Wan received them as if they were precious treasures. After thanking the hermit profusely, she took the 符箓 and set off on her return journey. When she got home, she immediately followed the hermit's instructions and sent the 符箓 with "Harmony" written on it to Su Zhe, explaining everything to him on the phone. When Su Zhe received the 符箓，he had mixed feelings. He had both nostalgia for the 美好时光 in the past and regret for the current situation. He gently stroked the 符箓 and decided to put aside everything at hand and go back to his hometown to have a good talk with his wife.
When Su Zhe returned home dusty, seeing his wife's haggard yet expectant face, his heart ached. He quickly walked up to her and hugged her tightly. Thousands of words welled up in his heart, but he choked up. At this time, the 符箓 on their chests seemed to become slightly warm, and a warm current surged in their hearts, dispersing the haze and coldness of the past few days.
In the following days, the couple, wearing the 符箓，began to re-examine their relationship. They put aside their prejudices and resentments and communicated openly with each other as they used to. Su Zhe would accompany Lin Wan to work in the fields, teaching her how to farm more efficiently hand in hand; Lin Wan would make a bowl of hot soup for Su Zhe at night and massage his tired body to relieve his work fatigue.
In their spare time, they still held hands and strolled along the country paths, watching the sunset and the starry sky. Only this time, they cherished the time they spent together even more. Every look, every smile, and every touch was full of deep love and attachment. The once-existing misunderstandings, like the ice and snow in spring, gradually melted away under the warm sunshine. Their relationship, under the protection of the "Couple Charms", returned to what it was before and even became deeper.
The old people in the village were amazed when they saw the changes in the two. One day, Su Zhe and Lin Wan shared this 神奇的经历 with everyone. After hearing it, the villagers' eyes were full of amazement and envy. Su Zhe said with emotion, "These 'Couple Charms' seem to be just two ordinary yellow papers, but in fact, they contain profound Taoist ideas. The power of 'Harmony' makes us understand that the key to getting along as a couple lies in mutual tolerance, understanding, and cherishing. Only by blending hearts can a relationship last long. This is the perfect embodiment of the Taoist concept of conforming to nature and harmonious coexistence in a marital relationship."
After that, the relationship between Su Zhe and Lin Wan became even stronger. They became a model couple in the village, using their story to 诠释 the true meaning of love to everyone. And those two "Couple Charms" were carefully framed and enshrined in the main hall of their home. On the first and fifteenth days of each lunar month, the two would burn incense and pray piously, giving thanks for the kindness of Taoism and praying that this happiness would last forever. Their story, like a gentle breeze in spring, softly blew throughout the village, making more people know about the 神奇的爱情故事 of the "Couple Charms" and the great power of protecting true love and promoting harmony behind it.
As the years passed slowly, the village remained quiet and peaceful. Su Zhe and Lin Wan walked through countless spring, summer, autumn, and winter seasons hand in hand. They supported each other through thick and thin and grew old together. And that 传奇爱情 story that started because of the "Couple Charms" also became a household tale passed down from generation to generation in the village, inspiring young couples later to stick to their original intentions and support each other no matter how big the storms they encounter on the road of love, so that the flower of love would always bloom.
