Summary
Kongming looked at her and did not love her, but he respected her enough that he would rather not see her bruised and broken. Though nothing she would ever say would change his mind regarding any of his beliefs and opinions, he respected her enough to understand that she had wishes and desires and thoughts of her own, all of which had nothing to do with him. He looked at her like she was a person, wholly within herself.
What luck Yueying had, to have found Kongming; to have found a man who looked at her and did not mind that she did not exist merely to serve him.
Yueying had been taught: she was born with wrists too weak for swords and a mind suited only for the cleverness of wives, and she should never strive for anything more. Kongming knew: without frame and without brace, the spine would only break in a coming storm.
Subtitled: “A Treatise on the Cages Made from Confucian Gender and Class Roles, With Special Emphasis on Privilege.”
Sequel to both like sleeves, like limbs and for husband, for king. Please read those first, or the plot won’t make much sense. The series link is below.
Complete.
