Definition
天仙 literally refers to a heavenly immortal in Chinese mythology, but it is far more commonly used as a metaphor for an extraordinarily beautiful woman — the equivalent of calling someone a 'goddess' in English. As a noun, it can appear in both literal contexts (mythology, folklore) and figurative compliments.
