sees a man with shorn hair at noon the next day. No such man comes at noon, but a shorn-haired servant of Dorang-seonbi arrives at her house at night and announces that his master has died. Cheongjeong-gaksi does nothing but weep day and night. The sound of weeping reaches the hall of the Jade Emperor, who orders a subordinate god, the Sage of the Golden Temple, to find the reason why. The god approaches her in the form of a Buddhist priest, and she pleads him to teach her how to meet her husband again. The priest tells her to fill a gourd container with clean water, then to go to Dorang-seonbi's grave alone and pray with it for three days. Cheongjeong-gaksi does so and is reunited with her husband.

On their way home, a sudden north wind knocks Dorang-seonbi off a bridge and hurls him into the river below. As he drowns, he tells his wife to commit
