Nan You was a country girl, summoned back to the imperial city by an edict when she came of age, all so she could bring good fortune to Prince Qi, Huangfu Wuyou, who was gravely poisoned and half paralyzed.
On the day of the wedding, he remembered her saying, “I won’t marry a man who can’t perform as a man.”
Not only did he make her bow to a rooster instead of a groom, he also made her experience what it meant to wish she were dead on their wedding night!
At dawn, he sent her away with a letter of repudiation.
The whole city thought she would die of shame, but she didn’t. She was going to get revenge!
Nan You: “I’ll remember this humiliation! I’ll never let you get away with it!”
Huangfu Wuyou: “I’ll be waiting!”
Fine! Just you wait!
She found his brother and asked him to help her get revenge. Then she found his cousin and asked him to help her get revenge too!
Nan You wouldn’t rest until she’d gotten even with Prince Qi!
Later, she finally discovered that he wanted something from her!
She looked down at him from on high. “Your Highness, Prince Qi, beg me!”
