When my husband, Yan Ziyu, returned triumphantly from war, he brought back a delicate, enchanting performer and immediately demanded that she be admitted as his concubine. I hastily nodded and offered to step aside. “Miss Hengbo is stunning enough to be the principal wife. How could she be a mere concubine? Quick, quick, I'll make room for you. Just stamp the divorce papers, and I'll file them with the authorities.” I ran even faster than Huanbi did through the snow at Lingyun Peak, seeking help for Zhen Huan. I was panicking, truly panicking. If I didn't get a divorce right away, an imperial decree ordering my family arrested and our property confiscated would arrive any moment!
