There is a beauty in the north
Peerless and independent
Looking at Qingren City
Looking at Qingren Country again
I would rather not know A beautiful city and a beautiful country
A beautiful woman is hard to find
Vernacular translation: There is a beauty in the northern country, whose beauty is simply unparalleled in the world. Her elegant nature is extraordinary and outstanding, and she disdains the company of other women. Independent without knowing anyone. As long as she glances at the defenders of the city, the city wall can be lost; if she looks at the king again, the country will suffer disaster. But even if you fall in love with a city or a country, don't lose the opportunity to get a beautiful woman - after all, a beautiful woman is rare in the world and can't be obtained again!
