The late emperor gave him an orchid as a gift and said, "Your Majesty is as cold as an orchid, which makes my heart happy." The new emperor hated that orchid - because the orchid reminded him of Bai Yueguang, who died tragically. And he just habitually drew an orchid at the end of the memorial, not knowing that this flower would start a decades-long entanglement and imprisonment between two generations of emperors and one courtier. Orchid is a memory, personal love is a symbol. Later generations regarded it as a ritual, and no one remembered that it was a ridiculous thing.
Purpose: When personal love is misinterpreted as etiquette by history, when a person's absurd obsession eventually becomes the code of the country and the country, where will the trajectory of history go? The story of Mr. Shofu may be one of the epitome of countless histories that have downplayed the sacredness of later generations and gradually revealed their true feelings.
