The regent Lu Heng's crazy criticism of paranoia and robbery and plunder are used to cut through the false appearance of "rich clothes and fine food = supreme blessing", and question the weight of freedom in power, love and hate. Xie Yuyao's three escapes and repeated imprisonments are not only the resistance of the weak orphan to the suffocating control, but also the ultimate choice between "the glory given" and the "freedom of active choice" - when the "god-given opportunity" envied by others is actually a gilded cage trapping the soul, under the shackles of extreme pampering and cruel punishment, can love and freedom be balanced?
