Xiao Chu Yue had admired Xiao Ji for ten years, yet as his nominal younger sister, she could only watch him take countless concubines. At a palace banquet, Xiao Ji, in order to protect a favored concubine, forced her to marry the Regent. Cold and disillusioned, on her wedding night she asked, “No consummation?” The Regent, known as the “Living Devil,” replied, “If I wish, may I?” She closed her eyes: “You may.”
