This chapter opens with a flashback to the beginning of the novel, in which the narrator describes his encounter with Lady Su, who is the daughter of the King's wife. The narrator explains that Lady Su has never held his hand, and that she has never looked at him with disgust. She is dumb, too, and cannot read. He is ashamed to face his ancestors, who married him in order to cheat on him. She has killed another wife, and he has killed his unborn child. He believes that the fight between the two women is scary. He says that the two of them can have a fight and that the winner will take his or her husband with her. He adds that he will sit on her and make her die. The light of the Buddha reminds him that if he loses his temper, he will regret it in the future. He explains that he would have killed himself 800 times if he had not been transformed into Lady Su. Lady Su did not get angry, but her composure was good. He announces that she is the winner and that he and her husband are innocent. He compares her to a nun and says that he does not have a "damn root of wisdom".
