On a rainy night, she bravely confessed her love, but he, taken aback, still chose to reject her. Love unrequited, the Royal Guards were slowly closing in on the monastery nearby. To protect him, she quietly left after giving him a jade pillow.
A month later, the jade pillow she had gifted was coincidentally discovered. Stories of the princess and the monk's scandalous affair began to circulate through the alleys of Chang'an Street. As the gossip grew more intense, she was summoned to the palace and severely reprimanded. Upon leaving, she heard he had voluntarily entered the palace, taking all the blame upon himself, wrecking his bright future. He confessed to seducing her, was executed by a thousand cuts, and suffered a lingering death.
