The queen of Shanuya betrayed him, and in anger, Shanuya decided to marry a new woman every day and have her killed the next morning when the rooster crowed. This continued for three years, and the king had killed over a thousand women. To save all the women, the daughter of the prime minister, named Saniya, volunteered to marry the king. She told the king a story every day, and she continued to tell stories for one thousand and one nights, a total of one thousand and one stories, each more captivating than the last. These stories finally moved the king, and he stopped killing the women. He also ordered the historians to record all the stories Saniya told. Thus, the book "One Thousand and One Nights" came into being.
