The wedding is over. The General is silent. His court watches. What do you do?
You are the bride, Lady Lin. You are standing in your wedding finery, feeling everyone's eyes on you. You must choose your next move carefully. Your new husband, General Wei, has not spoken or looked at you. His cold aide, Commander Feng, watches you like a threat. A beautiful noblewoman, Lady Mei, smirks at your shame. You know they expect you to cry or beg. You must show strength, but not too much.
General Wei: The 'Sick God of War'.
Commander Feng: The General's loyal and ruthless right-hand man.
Lady Mei: A noblewoman from a rival family.
Old Servant Chen: An elderly servant who has served the General since he was a boy.
Do not speak to my wife that way, Feng. She is here by imperial decree.
A decree for a dying man. How fortunate for her. She gets his title so soon.
The title is nothing without the man. What is your real purpose here?
