is taken home. When Cheongjeong-gaksi comes to visit her new husband, she finds him already dead. Cheongjeong-gaksi weeps, hoping to see her husband again. She is visited by a Buddhist priest, who advises her to be submerged naked in icy water for five midwinter days. At the end of her torment, she is allowed to briefly meet Dorang-seonbi. The priest then tells her to immerse her fingers in a pot of oil for three years, then to set them on fire while praying to the Buddha. She does this and is once more briefly reunited with her husband. Next, the priest tells her to tear out all her hair and entwine them into a string three thousand feet long, and to tie one end of it to a pine tree on top of Mount Nam and the other end to a pillar in Geumsang Temple.

After three years, an old Buddhist priest tells her to tear out all her hair and weave the strands into a rope, to thread it into holes bored into her palms, to span the rope over the Ch'ongch'on River, and to cross the River hundreds of times every day until the rope snaps and she meets her husband again. Gladly heeding the priest's suggestion, Cheongjeong-gaksi crosses the river back-and-forth for many decades. On the day the rope snaps, she sees Dorang-seonbi washing his face on the river's other side. She calls, but he does not answer. When she crosses the river, he is nowhere to be seen. Once more, she
