The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl: An Eternal Love Across the Milky Way
1. The Forbidden Love (禁忌之恋)
In ancient China, Zhi Nu (Weaver Girl) was the youngest daughter of the Jade Emperor (God of Heaven). Skilled in weaving starry clouds into silk, she longed for freedom from her lonely heavenly life. One day, she descended to Earth and met Niu Lang (Cowherd), a kind but penniless farmer. They fell in love, married, and had two children. Their idyllic life—he farming, she weaving—symbolized harmony between humans and nature.
