I am a man with multiple wives and concubines

Yeah right. What little girl doesn't dream of growing up to be one of three wives and an additional 5 women who her 'prince charming' refers to as 'concubines'?

I only ever wanted to be one of the wives. They get to sit around all day while the concubines do all the work.

Concubinage is not for me. I want to be one of the wives, preferably the first one so I get some say in choosing the others.

my wives chose/employed the concubines.
