   Love means that when I love you, you are good in every possible way; when I don't love you, you are nothing in my eyes. The supremacy of imperial power results in the emperor's indifference and ruthlessness. Whatever the excuse, when you make a choice, I make a choice. There is no time travel, no bloody plot, but the simple words are the most heartbreaking.

   "My dad said it's better for a man to be thinner so he can't beat you." Only after I got married did I realize that fists have nothing to do with height. Hardness has nothing to do with weight. For thirty years, I tried to run away, beg for mercy, and fight for my life. She even knelt down and begged him to let his daughter go. But what really saved me from hell was not my parents' awakening. It's not the police's mediation, it's the road to self-salvation."
