No one had expected Nuwa to use her own creation to sever her obsession and successfully lodge it within the creation.
Even Dao Xuan had not expected it. Nuwa truly possessed great wisdom: she grasped the idea from the slightest hint.
Dao Xuan had given her nowhere near that much guidance, yet she had thought of it herself and done it.
