Court lady An Huilan comes to make a request. She claims she can hear the voice of a dead consort coming from within the water. Xi Wanlin, the Magpie Consort during Yandi's reign, drowned herself in the lake on the day the emperor was to visit her. The voice within the water is allegedly hers. Huilan asks Shouxue to save Wanlin, but Shouxue realizes there is more to the story than what Huilan is telling her.
"Everyone thought she was eerie 
and kept their distance."

"واحتفظوا بمسافةٍ عنها
„Alle hielten sie für eigenartig
und hielten sich fern.“
"Todos la evitaban
porque decían que daba miedo".
"Todos la evitaban
porque decían que daba miedo".
« Tout le monde en avait peur
et gardait ses distances. »

और वे उससे दूर ही रहते थे।"
"Tutti pensavano che fosse inquietante
e si tenevano a distanza".
"Todos achavam que ela
era estranha e distante".

и держались подальше».
