It's an old folktale.
A man becomes infatuated with a very beautiful woman. He pursues her until she agrees to marry him. She cautions him to never question why she wears the ribbon around her neck. He agrees - he'd agree to anything to be with her.
Until one night, when he lies awake in the dark marvelling at her mysterious beauty. His curiosity consumes him. He is obsessed. On impulse, he wakes her. He persists until she is overcome. She allows him to tug at the tie.
You already know what happens.
As the ribbon unwinds, the truth unfolds. Her head falls off. The woman comes undone.
His obsession unravels her beauty.
