Princess Minghe had studied the Admonitions for Women since childhood. Proper and courteous, she was deeply cherished by the emperor. Then, three years ago, on the day of the temple sacrifice, she was seen in a disheveled state, her clothes in disarray. From that moment on, her good reputation was destroyed overnight, and her fate took a sharp turn. Her father no longer loved her, her mother came to hate her, and the man who had grown up with her turned against her. Everyone mocked her and abandoned her. These few lines sum up the first half of my life: helpless, framed by others, and finally forsaken by everyone. At last, I understood that in this world, only power lets you see through people and earn their respect.
