The eldest princess was a notorious piece of work, famous throughout the streets and feared by all.
If a man in your family was handsome, you had better steer clear of her, or she'd have him tied up and dragged back to the Princess's residence.
She was also on her third marriage. Her first consort cursed her to her face, then hanged himself.
Her second consort was decisive: he shaved his head, became a monk, and declared he wanted nothing more to do with her for the rest of his life.
As for the third, he was an exorcist Taoist. It was enough to make the whole world laugh at her.
“Remember this, Your Highness hunts your demons, and I mind my own business.”
“Very well. But if Your Highness insists on currying favor with me, I can hardly refuse.”
I'm too lonely, I comment to myself, persistence is motivation 🤔 Still very lonely, do it again [awkward laughter]
