The Spider's Search (Non-H)

The Spider's Search
: Once upon a time, there was a Yuanyin Temple, where many people came to burn incense and worship Buddha every day, making it a very popular place of worship. On the beam in front of the temple, a spider spun a web. Because it was constantly exposed to the incense and devout worship, the spider developed a Buddha-like nature. After more than a thousand years of cultivation, the spider's Buddha-nature increased considerably.
Suddenly one day, Buddha visited Yuanyin Temple and was very pleased to see how popular it was. As he was leaving the temple, he glanced up and saw the spider on the beam. Buddha stopped and asked the spider, "It seems we are destined to meet. I have a question for you, to see what insights you have gained after more than a thousand years of cultivation. What do you say?" The spider was overjoyed to meet Buddha and readily agreed. Buddha asked, "What is the most precious thing in the world?" The spider thought for a moment and replied, "The most precious things in the world are 'what cannot be obtained' and 'what has been lost'." Buddha nodded and left.
Another thousand years passed, and the spider continued its cultivation on the beam of Yuanyin Temple, its Buddha-nature growing ever stronger. One day, the Buddha came to the temple again and said to the spider, "How are you? Do you have a deeper understanding of the question from a thousand years ago?" The spider said, "I think the most precious things in the world are 'what you can't get' and 'what you've already lost.'" The Buddha said, "Think about it carefully, I will come to you again."
Another thousand years passed. One day, a strong wind blew, carrying a drop of dew onto the spider's web. The spider looked at the dew and saw that it was crystal clear and beautiful, and was immediately filled with love. The spider was happy every day looking at the dew; it felt these were the happiest days in three thousand years. Suddenly, another strong wind blew, carrying the dew away. The spider suddenly felt a sense of loss, and felt very lonely and sad. Then Buddha appeared again and asked the spider, "Spider, in these thousand years, have you thought carefully about this question: what is the most precious thing in the world?" The spider thought of the dew and said to Buddha, "The most precious things in the world are 'what cannot be obtained' and 'what has been lost'." Buddha said, "Very well, since you have such an understanding, I will let you go to the human world for a lifetime."
Thus, the spider was reborn into an official's family, becoming a wealthy young lady, and her parents named her Zhu'er (Spider Girl). In the blink of an eye, Zhu'er turned sixteen, having grown into a graceful and beautiful young woman, charming and captivating.
On this day, the newly appointed top scholar, Gan Lu, was to receive a celebratory banquet from the emperor in the back garden. Many beautiful young women attended, including Zhu'er and the emperor's youngest daughter, Princess Changfeng. The top scholar performed poetry and songs at the banquet, displaying his talents, and all the young women present were captivated by him. But Zhu'er was neither nervous nor jealous, for she knew that this was the predestined marriage bestowed upon her by Buddha.
A few days later, quite coincidentally, when Zhu'er accompanied her mother to offer incense and pray to Buddha, Ganlu also happened to be there with his mother. After offering incense and praying, the two elders chatted. Zhu'er and Ganlu went to the corridor to talk. Zhu'er was very happy; she could finally be with the person she liked. However, Ganlu did not show any affection for her. Zhu'er said to Ganlu, "Don't you remember what happened sixteen years ago on the spider web at Yuanyin Temple?" Ganlu was surprised and said, "Miss Zhu'er, you are beautiful and very likable, but your imagination is a bit too rich." After saying this, he left with his mother. Zhu'er returned home, thinking, "Since Buddha arranged this marriage, why didn't he remember that incident? Why doesn't Ganlu have any feelings for me?"
A few days later, the emperor issued a decree, ordering the newly appointed top scholar Ganlu to marry Princess Changfeng; and Zhu'er to marry Prince Zhicao. This news was like a bolt from the blue for Zhu'er. She couldn't understand why Buddha would treat her this way. For days, she had neither eaten nor drunk, racking her brains in desperation, her soul nearly leaving her body, her life hanging by a thread. When Prince Zhicao learned of this, he rushed to her side, collapsing beside her bed. He said to the dying Zhu'er, "That day, among all the girls in the back garden, I fell in love with you at first sight. I begged my father, and he finally agreed. If you die, then I will not live either." With that, he picked up his sword, preparing to commit suicide.
Just then, Buddha arrived. He spoke to the spider's soul, who was about to hatch, saying, "Spider, have you ever considered who brought the dew (Ganlu) to you? It was the wind (Princess Changfeng) who brought it, and in the end, it was the wind that took it away. Ganlu belongs to Princess Changfeng; to you, it was merely an interlude in your life. As for Prince Zhicao, he was a small blade of grass in front of Yuanyin Temple. He watched you for three thousand years, loved you for three thousand years, but you never even lowered your head to look at him. Spider, let me ask you again, what is the most precious thing in the world?"
After hearing these truths, the spider seemed to suddenly understand everything. She said to Buddha, "The most precious thing in the world is not what you 'cannot obtain' or what you 'have lost,' but the happiness you can grasp right now." As soon as she finished speaking, Buddha left, and the spider's soul returned to its place. Opening her eyes, she saw Prince Zhicao about to commit suicide. She immediately knocked the sword away and embraced the prince tightly…
