   Not only is each story line (without looking at the inner activities of the protagonist Shou) very sad, but the manner and cause of death of the protagonist Shou each time are not OOC. For example: the country was ruined and the family was destroyed, but the patriotic imperial master died in the arms of the enemy (I forgot about the middle) (actually he died while doing, but I have to embellish it, otherwise I can't pass)
