How it's used
This term is almost exclusively encountered in historical dramas or when discussing imperial history. It refers specifically to the husband of an emperor's daughter. You will rarely hear it used in a modern, non-historical context unless someone is making a sarcastic joke about a man being controlled by his wife.
