Once upon a time, in ancient China, there was a man named Yu who lived in a small village at the foot of a mountain. One day, Yu decided to climb the mountain to find some herbs for his sick mother. As he was wandering in the forest, he stumbled upon a beautiful garden full of exotic plants and flowers.

Suddenly, he heard a soft whisper coming from the bushes. Curious, he went to investigate and found a beautiful woman with long, black hair and eyes that shone like diamonds. The woman was Xi Wangmu, the Queen Mother of the West and the goddess of immortality.

Xi Wangmu saw Yu's kind heart and rewarded him with a magic peach that would grant him immortality. She warned him, however, that he must never eat the peach before he was ready, or he would face dire consequences.
