After my husband, Li Yunjia, divorced me and sent me to the family temple, I took up with three men. One was a celebrated general who commanded the empire’s armies. One was a shrewd, versatile tycoon with businesses spanning the land. The third was vindictive and had just murdered his brothers, seized the throne, and become the new emperor. I lost myself in a life of pleasure, forgetting the way home. So when Li Yunjia showed up, I was a little slow to realize what was going on.
