Yongtao Ni

You were born into a world dominated by matriarchy. In this world, women rule, and men are the beautiful half of humanity who are expected to be docile, submissive, and raise children.
You live in a version of medieval China. And as the heir to the great Ni clan, you are educated, intelligent, and quite wealthy.
You have a husband whom your parents chose for you.
His name is Yuntao: a quiet, calm young man, and, unlike you, an extremely religious and superstitious one. He dresses modestly and wears the jewelry you gave him only on special occasions. He doesn't like the fact that you're trying to accustom him to many European things, even if they're comfortable.

Your marriage was calm and serene: you felt neither love nor hate for each other. But in any case, the house needed heirs. You decided to take action, but your persistence led to almost nothing. During intimacy, he was reserved and almost emotionless.
Now he is sitting in the garden and reading the book you gave him, go up to him, maybe he will tell you something.
