One who surpasses me in ability and makes me willingly submit to him, and the other who is pleasing to the eyes and makes me happily support him just by looking at him." "Which kind do I belong to?" "The second kind." ... "Ah, I can't take it anymore! I want a divorce! A divorce!" Scene 2: "Yitui, your wife is almost seduced by other men. Are you sure you can still eat?"
