Liu Yi asked the woman why she was sad. The woman said: She is the beloved daughter of the Dragon King of Dongting and married the son of the Dragon King of Jinghe. Her husband was confused by his handmaid and often abused and insulted him. She told her in-laws, but they blamed her and punished her for her hard work. Jingyang and Dongting are thousands of miles apart. I want to ask Liu Yi to send a letter from home. Liu Yi was very sympathetic to the situation of the shepherdess, so he asked for the contact information, and then returned to the south with the letter entrusted by the shepherdess.

After returning home, Liu Yi immediately came to Dongting Lake, entered the Dragon Palace according to the method taught by the Dragon Lady, and handed the letter from the Dragon Lady to the Dragon King of Dongting. The Dragon King was very sad after reading the letter. He gave Liu Yi a warm reception and thanked him for his generosity in giving books.

The Dragon Palace in Dongting is beaming, and the feast is thanks to Liu Yi. Mr. Qiantang bluntly proposed to Liu Yi, hoping that he could marry a dragon girl and grow old together. Liu Yi first declined, fearing to disturb the Dragon Lady, and later saw the beauty of the Dragon Lady and regretted it. But he didn't change his mind and went home from Dongting Lake with many treasures of the Dragon King.

When Liu Yi returned to his hometown, he sold some treasures given to him by the Dragon King and immediately became a millionaire. Married several wives, all died unfortunately. Before long, he married another woman named Lu. On my wedding day, I went back to the bridal chamber and examined it carefully. I feel that Lu woman is very much like the dragon lady. As soon as I opened my mouth, I knew it was really the dragon lady. Because I miss Liu Yi, I married her in the name of Lu. Liu Yi is very happy. She and Dragon Girl live a happy and carefree life.
