Author: Li Yannian
There is a beautiful woman in the north
It is a world of its own
One look at the city
And then another look at the country
I would rather not know what it is to fall in love with the city and the country
A beautiful woman is hard to come by
Vernacular translation: There is a beautiful woman in the north of the country, whose beauty is unmatched in the world and whose skillfulness and elegance is superb, and who disdains the company of other women. She did not care to be in the company of other women, and was independent without a soulmate. She only needs to take one look at the guards of the city to make the city fall; if she turns her eyes to the king again, the country will suffer the calamity of destruction. But even if the city and the country were to fall in love, do not lose the opportunity to acquire a beautiful woman - a beautiful woman, after all, is rare and unattainable!
