Compared with the four sisters, she is not as elegant as peony, as bright as rose, as fresh and elegant as narcissus, and as fragrant as lily. She is just the most humble and light flower.
Later, the prince of the neighboring bamboo kingdom came to the flower kingdom to propose marriage, and the four sisters were eager to try. Only dandelion hid in the corner and looked at the prince silently. Although she likes the bamboo prince very much, she is afraid to show up. So, the two sisters, Peony and Lily, were chosen to go with the prince and start a new life.
However, before long, Prince Zhu got a strange disease, and his whole body was covered with yellow spots. If he is not treated in time, he will wither and die. If you want to cure the disease, you must go to the distant Tianshan Mountain and pick snow lotus on the ice peak.
Dandelion resolutely embarked on a difficult journey despite the resolute opposition of mom and dad. She sacrificed everything to save the life of Prince Zhu.
When she came to the foot of Tianshan Mountain, she met a witch who was waiting for Snow Lotus. The witch told her, "If you want to take Xuelian away, you must promise me one condition. From then on, you will wander the world and never return to the kingdom of flowers. " Dandelion agreed to the witch's condition for the beloved bamboo prince.
Prince Zhu was saved and dandelion began to wander. Her seeds are scattered everywhere under the wind, flowers bloom all over the country, and beautiful and self-reliant wildflowers can be seen everywhere.
Dandelion's flower head, with white crown hairs on its seeds, floats to new places with the wind after flowering, giving birth to new life.
Later generations used it to treat sores, breast sores, hepatobiliary diseases and so on. Dandelion has also become a precious Chinese medicine.
