Whether it's sweet words, the emperor's unconditional favor, or overwhelming power and wealth, the female protagonist refuses to be swayed and remains rational. "Our past love was something I painstakingly cultivated. You were unhappy and unwilling, and I was resentful and despicable." A wicked person will always be manipulated by an even more wicked one, and conversely, the more wicked one will be controlled. These two are destined to torment each other throughout their lives.
