Once, I was a young woman with lofty ideals.
When my friend died, I became an ordinary girl.
The Jinyiwei commander, Wei Qing, gave me a chance to pursue my ideals again.
However, I ended up betraying him.
In my youth, I was ambitious and hot-headed.
Later, I became ordinary and content with my life.
Yet, in the end, I was satisfied.
I was Xu Yunshu.
When my friend died, I lost my idealism and became ordinary.
I no longer yearned for greatness but learned to appreciate stability and quietness.
I adopted the name An Shenyu and wrote novels under Lord Wang’s patronage.
The novels earned me considerable success among the literati, and I was respected as a talented writer.
Years later, I became embroiled in a wrongful case involving embezzlement of tax revenues.
Using my intelligence, I cleared my name but caught the attention of Wei Qing, commander of the Jinyiwei.
He appreciated my ambition and gave me a chance to become a real officer of the Jinyiwei by assuming the identity of An Shenyu, the writer I had become.
I was deeply conflicted but eventually agreed.
As a member of the Jinyiwei, I was guided by Wei Qing and performed well in my duties.
However, I soon realized that the Jinyiwei was not as noble as it seemed but rather an instrument of power used to suppress opposition.
I began to struggle with my decision to join the Jinyiwei and questioned whether my pursuit of ideals was worth sacrificing fairness and justice.
The Unyielding Imperial Concubine
I requested a private audience with Wei Qing in his study.
He agreed, and I arrived at the appointed time.
My heart was heavy with doubt and conflict.
As I entered, he sat behind his desk, reviewing reports by the light of candles.
I knelt formally, but he waved for me to sit.
I couldn’t hold back my questions any longer.
"Commander, I have something I must ask you," I said, my voice filled with uncertainty.
"Speak," he replied, his expression unreadable.
I took a deep breath and poured out my concerns about the Jinyiwei’s methods.
"The arbitrary arrests, the torture of suspects, the protection of corrupt officials... Is this truly what we should be doing?"

Wei Qing listened silently, his eyes fixed on me.
When I finished, he stood and walked to the window, clasping his hands behind his back.
He gazed out into the night before turning to face me again.
He walked to his desk and pulled out a scroll from a hidden compartment beneath the wooden surface.
His movements were deliberate, as if he were revealing a secret he had long kept hidden.
I watched intently as he broke the imperial seal and unrolled the yellowed paper.
It was an official document, bearing the vermillion seal of the Emperor himself.
My eyes widened as I scanned the contents.
It was a direct order from the Emperor, commanding the Jinyiwei to fabricate evidence against innocent officials, to frame them for crimes they did not commit.
The names listed were those of upright officials who had mysteriously disappeared over the years, accused of treason or corruption without any proof.
Wei Qing’s fingers traced the edge of the scroll, his eyes filled with a mix of sadness and resignation.
"These are the orders I have been bound by," he said, his voice heavy with regret.
"I have tried to resist, to find ways to protect those who are innocent. But in the end, I am but a servant of the Emperor, and I must follow his commands."
