Once upon a time, in ancient China, there was a kind dragon king who ruled over the ocean. He had nine sons and one daughter named Ling-Ling. One day, while playing near the sea shore, Ling-Ling found a golden hairpin that gave her incredible beauty. She became famous throughout the land and many suitors came to win her hand.
The dragon king worried about his daughter's safety so he created an enchanted island where she could live safely with him until she married someone worthy of her love. But Ling-Ling was not happy on the island and longed for adventure outside.
One day, she met a brave warrior who fell in love with her true self rather than just her beauty. They got married and lived happily ever after on the island with the dragon king's blessing.
This is just one of many interesting stories from Chinese mythology that teach us valuable lessons about true love and being content with what we have.
