The music enthusiasts were at the Mi Zhiyin pavilion attending a grand musical assembly, where the prize was a private meeting with her for those who could become her soulmate, to see her appearance, and to hear her play an additional piece of music. Everyone was spreading the rumor that Mi Zhiyin was a fairy descended to earth, who veiled her appearance with white silk throughout her life because she was too beautiful, fearing that men would become obsessed after seeing her and neglect their duties, wasting their lives, or that women would feel inferior or jealous upon seeing her and stray from the right path.
