Summary: As long as she could ensure that her family would never go wanting, she would be content.

Reccer's Notes: This story is set in the Firefly universe, but doesn't talk about any of the characters or plot points from the series or movie. And it uses characters from Chinese mythology, but adapted to the Firefly universe. You don't need to know anything about either (I don't) to enjoy it; it's an interesting story well-told.  A woman marries because of her new husbands family position, but finds out too late he's not a man she wants to spend the rest of her life with.  So she goes off into space to seek her fortune.
