Many years ago, Empress Xie suffered from headaches. Initially, they weren't severe, but gradually they became more intense. Just a few years ago, whenever her headache flared up, it was so painful that she couldn't get out of bed, and her consciousness was also muddled. Each time she fell ill, she had to lie in bed and recuperate for ten days to half a month before recovery.
As the headaches became more severe, Empress Xie's spirits also worsened, her complexion naturally became poorer, and her appearance began to age increasingly.
Empress Xie cared the most about her looks because her beauty was not outstanding among the harem's concubines. Her only advantage over others was her youth. But over the years, due to the headaches, she became less youthful, losing her only advantage, which was a significant blow to her.
