Princess Chaohua and I were a notorious pair of star-crossed lovers. She hated me for petitioning the emperor in the Golden Palace on my triumphant return, forcibly breaking up her marriage to the heir of the Marquis of Shou'an. I hated her for shaving her head and becoming a nun on her wedding night, setting up a Buddhist shrine in the General's mansion, making me a laughingstock of the entire court. For three years, the words we spoke most often were— "Pei Yu, you just wait for your karma." "Shen Qinghe, this general will tear down your dilapidated Buddhist shrine sooner or later." But when I was falsely accused of treason, this woman who chanted scriptures every day knelt before the grand court assembly, beating the petition drum for three days and three nights. She smiled weakly and said, "General..."
Yes, that's reasonable.
