Legend had it that the notoriously violent and eccentric king had killed so many people he had developed a strange illness.
Now he laughed and joked every day, diligently governing and caring for his people.
Watching their once-violent king turn more and more into a wise ruler by the day, the ministers all wondered if His Majesty was plotting some grand scheme. They worried themselves practically bald.
Your Majesty, have you killed so many people that you've had enough? Are you planning to create a glorious age of prosperity for a change?
This simply wouldn't do!
The ministers swore to remonstrate with him to the death, clutching their rapidly receding hairlines.
Seeing the bald heads beneath his throne, the king ordered everyone in the realm to shave their heads.
Good grief, just as expected!
Until one day, a young woman boldly entered the royal court.
"This common girl has come to cure the king's illness!"
The king looked up from his mountain of memorials and sneered. "Get out of here. No one is to disturb me while I diligently govern and care for my people."
But then...
Abusing your wife feels good for a moment, but winning her back is a crematorium.

1. It's an emperor's harem. You know the drill.
2. Sweet romance! Sweet romance! Sweet romance! It's important, so I'll say it three times.
