To Have All the Power Is Just to Be Young and Frivolous

I gently took off my exquisite Chinese clothes and put on coarse linen clothes. I took off the beaded hairpins on my head and rolled them into an ordinary girl's bun. I took off the inappropriate embroidered shoes on my feet and put on the valuable jade jewelry around my waist. I put the pendant into my cuff, it might come in handy in the future. I followed the procession of little palace maids leaving the palace, lowered my head with crisp little steps, turned my head to look at this huge and inhumane palace, and finally escaped. I want to find my true self! You no longer need to hide the love and passion in your heart, you no longer need to say words that go against your will, and you no longer need to wear a cold mask to face those beasts that always want to rob you of all your value. Can I really be free?
