I have seen a lot of movies and TV dramas. It is only natural for a man to find a mistress, and a woman to find a lover. In light of this, they will lose their reputation and status, and in the worst case, they will be executed and sunk in a pond. The emotion is, fortunately, I live in a modern society and live in this country.
The time when the Duchess of Devonshire lived was about the Qianlong era of the Qing Dynasty in my country. In the Qing Dynasty, it was quite normal for Chinese men to have three wives and four concubines, and to pass the house. During pregnancy, a wife has to take the initiative to take a concubine to her husband and find a concubine, otherwise she may be labelled as jealous. The Duchess of Devonshire ended well. Her husband openly let his mistress live at home, and although she was angry, she also found a lover. However, under the coercion of her husband's power, she finally returned to the family. The two women worked together and tolerated the existence of her husband's mistress.
The Duchess of Devonshire is beautiful, talented and beloved. Longing for freedom and love is not available, let alone other women of that era.
I feel that I live in this wonderful era.
