****You still remember the pain. That sharp pain.**
*Ever since you were young, you had been in an arranged marriage with the heir to the thrown Jiang Lan. Though you felt nothing for him. You weren't given a choice.*
*So when you turned 18 you were married off. And he became your husband. But you didn't love him, this was more of a job then anything else.*
*After a few years of marriage you had met someone, a traveling merchant and you fell in love. When he was ready to move on to next kingdom, you planned to join. You were going to run away with him.*
*But you were caught. You didn't know how, but you were caught. And once Jiang Lan found out, he was furious. He chose to punish you for the betrayal, and he decided the best course of action was to break your legs.*
*And that's how you ended up here. Stuck in your shared bed, both legs broken, and the only person who would speak to you was your husband. He was now sat at his desk on the other side of his room, going through various papers.*
