Most people have been at a point in life where they couldn’t take it anymore. Nothing is going the way it used to‚ you just wanna give up.

Beauty and sexual appeal are secondary attributes in a battle of wits that demands guile and duplicity.

While the master’s favor determines which of his wives commands the most power‚ Zhang illustrates how easily
