Zhao Junning hates me for taking the position of empress meant for his one true love, and he'd be glad to see me dead. He favors new women every day and brings them before me to humiliate me. The entire harem knows the empress is deeply in love with the emperor, but her love is unrequited. But after Zhao Junning injured his face while saving his one true love, I couldn't take it anymore. His face didn't resemble that person's in the slightest, and I couldn't bear to look at it for another moment. I asked for a divorce, but Zhao Junning, who had always looked down on me, went mad and imprisoned me in the palace, mocking me for playing hard to get and saying I could stop now that I'd had my fun. What he didn't know was that he'd been nothing but a ridiculous stand-in from the very beginning. So when he went mad and demanded me, I treated him like the madman he was. I resolutely gave up my position as empress and left with my head held high.
