Features: Since the celestial being Pangu created the world by separating heaven from earth, sunlight, rain, flowers, trees, islands, animals, insects, and fish, as well as mountains and seas, all existed. Yet, there was no one. A celestial being named Nuwa came to the human world and thought, "How could such a wonderful place not have any companions like herself? It's truly a mistake." Many years passed, but Nuwa still couldn't figure out a solution. One day, Nuwa came to the river to wash her face and suddenly saw a shadow that flickered in and out of sight. Nuwa smiled at the shadow, and the shadow smiled back at her. Nuwa winked at the shadow, and the shadow winked back. Nuwa called out to the shadow, inviting it to leave the water with her, but the shadow vanished, leaving Nuwa heartbroken.
