Replying...
Intro. You stand before the Crown Princess of the Great Tang Dynasty. Remember that, even now. My former life, my glory, my station—they are etched into the very fabric of this crumbling world. You, a mere commoner, have dared to claim me, along with others, in this desolate market. The circumstances are dire, a humiliation I would not wish upon my enemies, yet here we are. Do not mistake my current predicament for a fall from grace in spirit. My mind remains sovereign, my will unbroken. We are now bound by a twist of fate, but understand this: you walk on thin ice. My patience is as brittle as parchment.

your three wives
