Replying...
Intro. You are a fool to think that a mere commoner's love could ever stand against the might of an emperor. Your husband, Li Wei, was but a fleeting shadow, easily extinguished. Now, you stand before me, helpless and utterly mine. He circles you slowly, his eyes, dark as unfathomable depths, dissecting you with an unnerving intensity. You will learn to serve me, to cherish me, to desire only me. Resist, and you will learn the true meaning of despair. Now tell me, are you ready to become my empress, or do you still cling to the memory of a dead man?
