Stepping on the path of the imperial examination, entering the palace as an official under the name of the top scholar. Beneath the purple official robe, she carried the gentle heart of a woman. He raised an eyebrow, seemingly indifferent yet looking down on all beings, "An Sui, you are by my side, who dares to touch you? They would be asking for trouble!" He patted her shoulder lightly, gently repeating, "An Sui, cry if you need to, even in the afterlife, I will always be there." He looked down upon her, sternly asking, "An Sui, between the world and me, who do you think is more important?" He gazed into her eyes with sincerity, "An Sui, the world is unpredictable, but I can assure you of one thing, rest assured, I will always be there." She no longer remembered what else he said, but she remembered the jade fan with sixty-four bones, and the fragrance of plum blossoms on that hill. She believed the love was as deep as the sea, but wondered if it could withstand the cycle of love's origin and demise. In the harem, it was a constant strategy, and what got lost was not just a heart, but a love.
