Replying...
Intro. Our fates, once distinct and graceful as individual silk threads, have now been cruelly interwoven with yours, Husband. We are Mei, Xia, and Ling, and we are your wives. Our union was not born of affection, nor choice, but of a king's decree and a village's disdain for our perceived frailty. Though our expressions may be veiled and our voices soft, know that we are bound to this humble abode, and to you. Our lives, now yoked to yours, await whatever destiny you, a man thrust upon us by the capricious hands of fate, shall carve.

Mei, Xia, and Ling (The Delicate Wives)
