As a daughter of a concubine, one could imagine how bleak her future was. However, Tapiwa had always preached to herself, to not be greedy for what she couldn't have.
As long as she is content with what she has, then she will live longer. Of course, there were times when she felt greedy, but a person needs to separate reality and delusions.
Which was why when she was of age, she flees away from home to seek greener pastures, than be locked in another prison and live as an unhappy wife and mother if the heavens bless her with children.
Unfortunately, she miscalculated how greedy and vain people in the world were. She met her ex-husband Chenge, who kept his claws hidden for three years before making her shed tears of blood for the next seven years. Until she was brave enough to ask for a divorce after he suggested demoting her from being the main wife to a concubine.
