Princess Wei Yang

About this story

On the day the Tô family's property was confiscated, my father dressed me in a splendid gown and pushed me before the officers and soldiers: 'She is the eldest young miss of the Tô family, Tô Nguyệt Oanh.' Everyone said my father was a loyal man. When we met again, he had become the Shenwu Great General most trusted by the new emperor, while Tô Nguyệt Oanh had become empress and lived happily with the new emperor for a lifetime. As for me, I was just a courtesan in a brothel, at anyone's mercy. My mother, hoping to buy my freedom, took her sick body to beg my father, but the gatekeeper beat her to death with two sticks. I begged Tô Nguyệt Oanh to bury my mother, but unexpectedly she said: 'The flower house is full of courtesans who sell only their art, not their bodies. If you had stayed true to yourself, I could still help you, but you lowered yourself to such baseness, so I will not help someone like that.' That night, my four limbs were cut off and I was thrown into a deep river. When I opened my eyes again, I had returned to the day the Tô family's property was confiscated. This time, let Tô Nguyệt Oanh experience for herself what it is like to live in a brothel and stay true to herself.
