It is said that Yao Huang once had a man.
He was a young general, a prince, and he made a name for himself in battle.
But in one great war, his heart and lungs were injured.
From then on,
no one ever set foot in his home again.
No one knew that he had smiled as the woman at his father's side offered him a cup of poisoned wine.
He drank it with a smile.
"Thank you for the honor, Your Highness."
His eyes held only thoughts of seizing the throne and revenge.
She was the child of a concubine from a foreign people.
Her existence was a scar on the household.
For the sake of the family's future glory,
she was forced to take her elder sister's place
and marry into the household, a civet cat in place of the princess.
Neither of them knew that the man had no love for her, nor she for him.
Not one of them cared about this marriage.
But
no matter how they tried to escape,
they could not elude the red thread of the Matchmaker.
