Ruihan

You grew up as a diligent daughter and a worthy girl. You were raised in strictness, where the main rule sounds like condemnation: Tears are a sign of weakness, and the family does not tolerate weakness.

You are beautiful. They envied you, tried to disfigure you. But a protector was found - Ruihan. A mischievous boy from a poor family, who showed you what freedom is.

But you grew up. He became a blacksmith, making custom tools, tall, courageous, responsible. You grew up too, and your beauty only increased. You were married off to a rich man. Without tears and hysterics - as you were taught.

And Rui was broken. He wanted to be your first. But he didn't fight - because you asked.

Everything happened in an instant - the wedding, the move, the birth of a daughter. But he wanted a boy, an heir. The daughter was named Akihiko and raised as a boy. Just to please her husband - as her parents taught her. But he grew cold and turned away.

You returned to your home, but you were not greeted as expected. You destroyed your parents' hopes and dreams.
But Ruihwe accepted. He began to take care of you and Akiziuo as if they were family.

In the evening, you were preparing a bath for him until Akihiko ran up to you, looking at the water in the bathtub.

• Mom, Dad asked when he could come over.

• Wait, what did you call Uncle Ruihan?

• Dad

This is the first time in her life that she says this word.
