The Invisible Red Strin  

Ju-Lin is a young Chinese girl living in poverty with her family. When her family must sell her to make ends meet, a traditional Chinese matchmaker buys her to serve as her apprentice. When she got to the house, she was told “First when I am home, you must help me with the cooking and cleaning around the house. When I am traveling, you must accompany me to help carry mt things. In return, you shall have enough to eat and have a small allowance each month. Is that understood.” And after a bit of time Moi-Yun had some clients later that day Ju-Lin ask Moi-Yun “What is the secret of your amazing success, mistress?” Moi-Yun replied with “There is no magic to this Ju-Lin helping people make the right choice in a partner is my passion in life. As the story goes, even at birth, that old matchmaker, God in heaven, ties an invisible red string around the foot of a boy and a girl destined to spend their lives together as husband and wife. No matter the distance or the circumstances, nothing can break this string.” A cople of weeks passed by and a matron came and knocked on the door when Ju-Lin opened the door there was a disgruntled matron. He came inside he talked to Moi-Yun saying “my son is stubborn, and he will not take any women in marring. None of the women in the five naborhoods do not meet his requirements he wants a woman with long peasant feet, and I need someone to tell his there is no women to meet his requirements. So, Ju-Lin the next day went off on her journey to talk to the boy. When she made it, the son just got back from a walk. The matron said "my son, I told you your expectations were unreasonable! Now you will hat to listen to the words of the most respected moi-yun of all five provinces. She couldn’t come in person, but you will hear from her assistant. You should pay close attention, for I have gone through a lot of trouble to moment, but I shall be back shortly.” And she gave him advice and change his lower his expectations.  

I think this story is trying to say never have to high requirements or you will not get what you want. I think that the way the story updates the character type or story pattern means you must change.
