Shen Aluo married Zhao Mingzhi, the king of Luoyang. She originally looked forward to staying with her husband for the rest of her life, but she waited for the sad news that he had "died in battle" in the northwest. At the age of twenty, she became the youngest widow in the capital, but she was not trapped in sorrow. She guarded the palace, raised her young son, and lived soberly among the rumors in the palace. Even though she later learned the truth about her husband's deception, and experienced love, hate, anger, ignorance, and separation between life and death, she never complained or was limited by emotion. She lived by her heart and became her own character, and finally found peace in her life.
