I Am Fusu, and I Have Something to Say

Exclusive Felo novel: I Am Fusu, and I Have Something to Say!

212 BC, Spring, Day 1, Hour of the Rat

Today, I angered my father by speaking frankly and offering remonstrance, and was demoted to Shang Commandery. Though I feel aggrieved, I understand that a ruler's command cannot be disobeyed. Before leaving, I looked back at the towering palace, my heart filled with mixed emotions. I do not know when I will return from this journey to Shang Commandery, but I must hold fast to my beliefs and fulfill my responsibilities as a prince.

Alone in the study with only a solitary lamp for company, I sat quietly at my desk, sorting through my tangled thoughts. Shang Commandery is a vast land, and the place where I will begin a new life. I hope to realize my ambitions there, bring benefits to the people, and serve my country loyally.

On my first day in Shang Commandery, I began learning about the local customs and way of life. The customs here differ greatly from those in the capital. The people are kind and honest, hardworking and industrious. I feel the weight of my responsibility and must quickly adapt to life here and become part of this land.

Today, I inspected the fields and markets in the city and saw the people working diligently in the fields and the vendors enthusiastically hawking their wares.
