Scheherazade.

Scheherazade
Fictional sultan's wife who narrated
The Thousand and One Nights.
According to the story that serves
as the collection's framework, the
Sultan Shahryar found his first wife
unfaithful, and, after deciding that he
hated all women, he married and
killed a new wife each day.
Scheherazade, daughter of his
vizier, in an effort to avoid his
previous wives' fate, related to him
a fascinating story every night,
promising to finish it on the
following night. The sultan enjoyed
the stories so much that he put off
her execution indefinitely and finally
abandoned the idea altogether..
