Qin Sisi approached Jin Zhu and Ding Jiawang, whispering softly, "Why put yourself through all this? He doesn't even love you."
Jin Zhu shook her head, she didn't look at Qin Sisi. Her infatuated gaze remained fixed on Ding Jiawang's face. She spoke in a daze, "I made a vow before the Buddha, asking that he grant me a perfect husband. I was willing to abstain from meat and chant sutras to demonstrate my sincerity."
"Once he appears, I will give him my most precious gold jewelry as a token of our love, to symbolize the unbreakable bond between us."
"But just after I made my wish, the earth shook and rocked, and then, the temple collapsed..."
Her life, blooming in its prime, was extinguished in a natural disaster. Confused and shaken, Jin Zhu's soul left her body.
At the moment of death, she seemed to hear the Buddha granting her request.
