In the old East, there was a place called "Star Town", where the people of the town lived by weaving cloth and plowing the fields, and their lives were simple and peaceful. There is a towering stone tower in the center of the town called the "Star Wishing Tower", and legend has it that on the night of the full moon, if you make a wish to the star at the top of the tower, it will come true. However, this is just a mysterious legend that has been passed down for hundreds of years and has never been confirmed.
Xiaoyue, a girl in the town, is beautiful and kind, but because of her poor family, she can't go to school, so she can only help her mother weave at home. She was hungry for knowledge, hoping to read esoteric books like the townspeople. Satsuki often looks up at the starry sky and silently makes a wish to the Wishing Star Tower, hoping to change her destiny one day.
On the night of the full moon one year, Satsuki plucked up the courage to come to the bottom of the Wishing Star Tower alone, she closed her eyes and made a deep wish: "I want knowledge, I want the power of reading." When she opened her eyes, she found that the wiring in her hand had turned into a yellowed page of a book with words written on it that she had never seen before.
Satsuki returned home and carefully studied the page, discovering that it was an ancient language that she had learned after studying day and night. Gradually, Satsuki began to translate more pages, and her knowledge shone like a sky full of stars.
Satsuki's change has attracted the attention of the townspeople, especially the mayor's son, the clever scholar Ah Liang. He is amazed by Satsuki's talent, and the two become friends as a result. Liang lent her family's collection of books to Satsuki, and Satsuki's wisdom swelled up, and her story became a good story in the town.
However, the mayor is jealous of Satsuki's rise and believes that Satsuki's wisdom threatens his son's position. So, he set a trap and framed Satsuki for stealing Liang's book. Satsuki is imprisoned in the town, and the Wishing Star Tower is unusually cold in the night sky.
After Ah Liang learns the truth, he decides to help Satsuki. He finds the oldest wise man in the town and tells Satsuki's story, and the wise man is deeply moved and tells Ryoshi that only by finding the legendary "Starlight Stone" can Satsuki's innocence be proven.
After a lot of hardship, Ah Liang finally found the Starlight Stone on a full moon night, and it shone with the same light as the Wishing Star Tower. Liang returned to the town with the Starlight Stone, where he stood under the Wishing Star Tower and prayed to the full moon, and the Starlight Stone glowed brightly, illuminating the entire Starry Town.
The townsfolk were shocked by this strange sight, and they came to the prison to see Satsuki reflected in the Starlight Stone, and her eyes were full of wisdom and determination. The mayor was speechless, so he had to release Satsuki and admit his mistake.
Xiao Yue's wisdom and courage, as well as Ah Liang's persistence and justice, deeply moved the people of Star Town. They began to respect knowledge and encourage children to learn, and Satsuki opened a school to teach and educate people for free, and her story inspires everyone to pursue the truth and move forward.
Since then, at night in Starry Town, people can always see Xiaoyue sharing knowledge with children under the Wishing Star Tower, and that bright star is the eternal wish in her heart, illuminating every soul who is eager to learn.
