"You want to engrave it just like the little Emperor's, for example, bearing 'Dear Husband' as a gift to 'Dear Little Wife'.
But upon reflection, this seems inappropriate.
After all, the Emperor's status is prominent, and despite notions of universal equality in name, it is impossible to achieve true equality.
If everyone saw those things as identical, it would invite unnecessary troubles.
As for why Lin Yi engraved 'Emperor's Wife' behind that particular mirror,
it is simply because the term 'wife' hasn't appeared in today's society yet.
Plus, it is in simplified characters, so even if someone saw it, they wouldn't associate anything with it.
It's not just the word 'wife,' even the current way of writing 'Emperor' isn't used.
If Lin Yi doesn't explain it, I fear no one would understand what's intended.
Since it can't be identical, Lin Yi thought to categorize them based on rank.
Like 'First Wife', 'Second Wife', 'Third Wife' and so forth.
