用法
- A fairy / female celestial being - 传说中的仙女下凡 (chuánshuō zhōng de xiānnǚ xiàfán) the fairy of legend descended to earth.
- From mythology; also a flattering internet term for a beautiful, ethereal woman: 你是我心中的小仙女.
- 仙 refers to Daoist immortals, so it's more 'immortal maiden' than Western winged fairy.
