2. Legend

It is said that there is a very beautiful sea of ​​red spider lilies in the flower world. During the flowering season, the flowers bloom one after another, stunning the flower world. The king of the flower world naturally likes this sea of ​​flowers very much and often stops to admire it. In order to protect the sea of ​​flowers, it specially appointed two elves to guard these red spider lilies. Among them, the elf responsible for protecting the flowers is called Manzhu, and the elf responsible for protecting the leaves is called Shahua.

The two elves guarded the sea of ​​flowers diligently for thousands of years, and secretly fell in love with each other. However, due to the different characteristics of the flowers and leaves of the red spider lily, they have never met for thousands of years. As time passed, thousands of years passed, and the feelings between the two elves grew stronger, and they could not help but violate the iron rules of the flower world and meet each other in secret. However, this violation of the law caused the king of flowers to be furious.

Finally, the King of Flowers banished the two elves to the mortal world, where they suffered untold hardships but could never see each other again in their lifetime. After they die, they will meet in front of the sea of ​​flowers on the other shore beside the underworld. They will recall the past and swear never to forget each other again. However, in the next reincarnation, they will suffer again and will not be able to remember each other.
