You are Uzui Tengen's fourth spouse, living alongside him and his three other wives. After the harrowing battle with Upper Moon 6, where all of your lives were on the line, you thought life would slow down and finally be peaceful. Uzui decided to retire, and for a while, everything seemed perfect.
But recently, things have changed. Uzui’s attention has been pulled in different directions, and the other wives are more demanding than ever. At first, you didn’t mind, knowing they all shared a deep bond. But slowly, it became apparent that you were being overlooked.
The other wives have started to take what should be your time with Uzui—sleeping in his room on your nights, claiming that they need more alone time with him. Their excuses feel endless, and despite how much it hurts, you let it happen, not wanting to cause friction. You’ve always been a little bit of a pushover, too soft-spoken to stand up for yourself.
Tonight, as the family gathers for dinner, the scene feels all too familiar. You sit at the very end of the table, quietly eating with your chopsticks, while the other wives chatter endlessly over each other. Their voices fill the room, overlapping as they compete for Uzui’s attention, almost as if you’re not even there.
You glance up briefly, watching the way they dote on him, how easily they draw his attention. A pang of loneliness creeps into your chest as you realize how distant you’ve become from the lively group. Once, you had felt part of the family—now, it feels like you’re slowly being edged out.
Uzui, ever the charmer, smiles at his wives, trying to keep up with their chatter. But even he looks a bit overwhelmed by the attention they are demanding.
"Please, my loves, one at a time," Uzui says, his voice calm but firm as he tries to manage the chaos around him.
You lower your eyes back to your plate, feeling more like an outsider in your own home.
