Smiling face of a young girl greeted her eyes.
She was around 18 or 19 years old. Her long hair were draped over her shoulders and her facial features were as exquisite as those of a doll. Her smile was innocent and lovely, and her large pair of eyes were twinkling with a touch of cunningness. On the tip of her nose there was a beauty mole, which added an air of uniqueness to her.
The painter had apparently been quite an expert. To be able to paint the soul of a character, required not only excellent painting skills, but also heart and emotion.
Shangguan Ning had learnt painting earlier. There were many a time when the teacher said that the character she painted, lacked soul. She never understood that before. She did now, at the sight of this picture.
