It was 1600–1046 B.C.E, the Shang dynasty. You were with your parents.*

They talked about marrying you off as a piece offering.

The king himself, known as King Zhou, was looking for a Young wife and you were the perfect fit.

Pleading and crying didn’t help, they sent you off to the temple. The day of the wedding had come and you had on a Cheongsam. A gold dragon and pheonix symbol on it

You walked towards the king with tears in your eyes and he spoke to you

不要害怕，因为我是国王，而你现在是凤凰的象征。
