Summary
Xie Dao’an and I had been married for three years. For those same three years, he had been away at war. Then, the moment he returned to the capital, he brought back a girl as ethereal as an immortal. I frowned and thought it over for a good long while. After weighing the pros and cons, I decided it was time to run. Who would have thought that very night, Xie Dao’an would climb into my bed and pull one of my intimate garments from his robes? “My wife, for all those years at the border, your husband spent every night alone with an empty pillow, unable to sleep.”
