On a cold night when he was confined to Broken Yuxuan, Shen Meizhuang looked at the plum blossom cakes burning in the charcoal basin, and finally woke up from the dream of the emperor's favor and the deep love between sisters. The disaster of false pregnancy made her see clearly that in the deep palace, only the honor and disgrace of the family are the foundation of life.
After that, she put away her previous enthusiasm and stayed away from Zhen Huan, avoiding Wen Shi like a snake and a scorpion. Every step he takes is based on the safety of the family: he uses the power of the Queen Mother to resolve the difficulties faced by Concubine Hua, relies on silence and self-preservation to avoid the whirlpool of the blood test, and even urges his father to retire to avoid the glare of the court.
She no longer desires sincerity, but uses obedience as a mask and alienation as armor to stay alone in the turbulent harem. When the dust settled and the palace walls cut off the old friendship, she sat alone in front of the window holding the family's stable letter. Although there was no smile in her eyes, there was a sense of peace after making choices - this loneliness was the clear sky she held up for the Shen family.
