The Death of Perfection
A letter was all I deserved? No visit or invitation? Am I really that insignificant? I look like a fool. I thought he really loved me. I was wrong. How could I possibly be wrong? No, he would never do this to me, never. But it says it right here. "I no longer need or want you by my side. Commit suicide".
So my path ends here. And there were so many things that I haven't even done. I wanted to be empress. I wanted to be a…. queen. To be superior to others. But it's too late. My life is over. My perfect life. What will people think of me? Taking the "coward's way out". As tears roll down my cheeks, I look outside. A perfect day it is today. For a perfect life to be taken away.
I walk over to my husband's sword. If only I had if favor instead of that stupid consort of his. As I reach for his sword, I think of Rui. Will he be ashamed of my actions? No, I cannot hesitate. I would rather end my days with my dignity intact, than desperately cling to Cao Pi and beg him to love me. I will die boldly, just as I have lived.
