"I thought that with passion and modern thinking, I could make my way in the palace like in the novel. But why did everyone I trusted leave me? What did I do wrong?" - Lou Yuxin [Zou Lei]
"I have only lived for power all my life, and you may think of yourself too highly. Although you are a sister, you still have to learn more from Yuxuan. She will never be as talkative as you." - Chen Qiu
"Why do you have to live so tiredly? Mo Xiao will do whatever you want. Why are you still unwilling to truly trust me in the end? I have been with you for almost ten years, and all I want is to serve you wholeheartedly." - Duan Moxiao
