Killing someone is easy. The hard part is finding the will to pick up the knife.
I am the daughter of the Grand Chancellor. Because of my feelings, I embarked on a path of no return. Torn between morality and desire, I chose to kill that woman and set fate in motion.
At my lover's request, I agreed to kill his wife. But then I learned that his wife wanted to kill him.
I had no desire to stop her. When she hesitated, I handed her the knife.
And so my lover died in the moment he embraced the one he loved.
Love is the light at the outer edge of a burning torch. Only when everything has been consumed do you realize that from the very beginning, the fire had left no room for you.
The story is told from a female perspective, with romantic entanglements involving men.
This is a murder.
A short story, a very short story. A lot of things are left unstated, such as why she is the Crown Prince's secondary consort, why she dies on her wedding night, and why Prince Yan rebels. (He really did intend to rebel, of course, but someone discovered it ahead of time and forced the charge onto him.)
Next door is a longer, complete short story, The Woman in the Room, about fifty or sixty thousand characters long.
