Huang Mengchang's wife, knowing her husband's love of painting, indulged his interest by arranging for their cherished daughter to take art lessons, hiring a recent art school graduate to provide one-on-one instruction.
The teacher, named Dou Tingting, was young and attractive, spoke eloquently, never wore make-up, and appeared utterly pure. Her natural hair was always tied back into a ponytail, making her look every inch the ideal scholar.
Mrs. Huang was highly satisfied with Teacher Dou Tingting, and their daughter quickly grew fond of the beautiful instructor, too.
At first, Huang Mengchang had no inappropriate thoughts. However, as he gradually got to know Dou Tingting, her charm was impossible to resist. Her youth, beauty, docile demeanor, air of grace, art expertise, and cultured speech made her seem like a celestial being hardly of this earthly realm, captivating Huang Mengchang deeply.
