TFW you notice that Dong Xian / 董賢 of the "passion of the cut sleeve" shared your surname. 🥹🥰
(There were many bisexual Han Emperors, but Emperor Ai choosing to cut the long sleeve off his robe, rather than pulling it out from under a sleeping Dong Xian, and risking waking him, is a classic tale.)
So tender was Emperor Ai’s love for his "male companion" that, when he had to get up, instead of waking his lover, he cut off the sleeve of his robe.
