I am the wife of Xiao Jingchen, the Junior Minister of the Dali Temple. He was incredibly gentle with me and doted on me beyond measure. But when he beat me until I was unrecognizable and I desperately begged him for help— He didn't recognize me and even embraced Liu Ruyan, whom he cherished dearly, into his arms. "Where did this madwoman come from? Throw her out!" "Yaner, behave. Apart from my wife, you're the most important." "As long as you behave yourself and don't provoke her, I promise to treat you well for a lifetime."
I'm the wife of Edward Linton, the Deputy Minister of the Court of Justice.
He's always treated me with the utmost tenderness, like I was everything to him.
But when I lay there, beaten and covered in blood, begging him to save me—
He didn’t even recognize me. Instead, he pulled Lizzie Edwards into his arms, holding her like she was the most precious thing in the world.
"Where did this crazy woman come from? Throw her out!"
"Be good, Lizzie. Besides my wife, you're the most important person to me."
"As long as you behave and stay away from her, I swear I’ll treat you well for the rest of your life."
