With "the original intention of running in both directions, completely crushed by imperial power, hatred, and fate" as the core, all misunderstandings stem from each other's life-saving protection, and all injuries stem from unspoken affection. The person the male protagonist has hated and hurt all his life is the person who has spent his whole life protecting him and burning his life for him; the female protagonist has kept her lifelong promise and only waited for the belated truth and repentance until her death. In the end, she ended up with the ultimate tragedy of "we can't stay together in life, we can't stay together in death, and we only have endless regrets for the rest of our lives." The cruelty lies not only in life and death, but also in the fatalistic powerlessness of "every choice is for the other person, but you personally push the other person into the abyss."
