The gods saw her suffering and split open the ground before Shanbo's grave. Yingtai sees the tombstone of her dead lover and runs out of her carriage, overcome by emotion. On the day of Yingtai's wedding, her wedding parade passes Shanbo's grave. He eventually dies of sorrow and frail health. Yingtai's family betroths her to another man, which breaks Shanbo's heart. Greta Liang Zhu, or Butterfly Lovers, is a Chinese story about Shanbo and Yingtai, who fell in love in school.I read a copy of the letters they sent to eachother after they were separated and I cried like a baby while reading them. However, it's the life-long yearning for one-another that makes this story so beautiful, yet heartbreaking in my opinion.

I think this story deserved a place in there. Rumor has it that, when Heloise died and Abelard's grave was opened, he had his arms spread to welcome his long lost love into his grave.

They were, however, buried in the same grave as they could not be divorced according to church law. After their son was born, Heloise was forced to become a nun, and Abélard became a monk. They fell in love, had a child and got married in secret, but her uncle, a canon who looked after Heloise since the death of her parents, did not approve of their relationship and had Abélard castrated. Abélard was a quite famous 17th century philosopher and Heloise his student.

Mary Beautiful stories, but I do miss the story of Abélard and Heloise.
