Wu Cailuan,吴彩鸾
Mind like jade and smooth as ice
not even a peck of dust infiltrates it
Though the jade may be obscured
You pay no attention at all
On the terrace of Immortals
you ascend directly to the supreme blissful peak
According to Taoist legend, the immortal sister Wu (820 AD) lived with her husband in poverty. She was the daughter of a Taoist immortal father and at a certain point in her life, she and her husband retreated to the mountain by riding on a tiger and disappeared from the world.
