Ruyi's life is like a gorgeous and heavy picture, laid out in the Qing court. She was born into a famous family and had extraordinary talents, but she had an unfortunate fate and was involved in the whirlpool of intrigues. As a queen, she dealt with court affairs with wisdom, but the temptation of power made her lose her way and interfered in the government affairs to stabilize her position. Eventually, her ambition and greed were exposed, and she was forced to abdicate and became a victim of the struggle. Ruyi's story reflects on love, morality and human nature, and warns us not to forget our original intentions when pursuing power and to stick to the moral bottom line in order to maintain inner peace and happiness. Her warning will forever be remembered in history, reminding us that we need to keep a clear mind and firm faith when facing the temptation of power.
