In this world, it is not that you do more things or are good, and if you do less things, you are not good. Everything has a boundary, and crossing the line will naturally annoy people.
Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes. Michiko's two daughters-in-law, Masako and Noriko, are always taken out from time to time to make a comparison, one moment comparing their appearance, the other comparing their family lineage, and even their children are often affected... Compared with Masako, who often absented from the imperial family's official business because of her physical discomfort, Noriko is indeed a "conscientious" princess, but her "too much is too late" and often attracts people to complain. In particular, as the imperial family's only child, Yujin, grows up, Noriko's ambition to "jump on the face" is also really disliked.
Michiko's two daughters-in-law are definitely dragons and phoenixes among people, but compared with Kiko's ambition and aggressiveness, Masako who "lies flat" seems to be more popular.

Princess Jizi was the most adaptable of the three commoner princesses who married into the royal family.
Compared to Michiko, who was tortured by her mother-in-law to "gaffe", and Masako, who suffered from an adaptation disorder, Noriko was very successful in the imperial family. Not only did she have two daughters in succession, but even the only male of the third brother of the royal family came from her belly. However, such a figure who has contributed greatly to the Japanese imperial family is very annoying.
A person who "cannot do without merit" will naturally be remembered by someone, but he is always proud of this and suppresses others, which makes people can't see it. As a crown princess, she failed to give birth to an heir, which was the pain of Masako's life, and she must have blamed herself, and she would also feel guilty about Naruhito and the imperial family. But it's an established fact, and for Masako, 58, she has no ability to change.
Noriko is a person who holds the "cash cow" of the Japanese imperial family, and the first and second heirs to the throne are in her family. Everyone knows the pride in Noriko's heart, but it is a bit too much to hide the pride and ambition on her face to expose the scars of others.

Empress Masako who "lay flat".
Masako was the 126th empress of the Chrysanthemum Dynasty, but only Aiko had a daughter who had no right to inherit. Naruhito and Masako are unwilling, but they are powerless to turn things around, and all they can do is to cultivate Aiko well and make her shine in the imperial family.
In this world, everyone has their place, and people who don't know how to change their positions are annoying. In the current Chrysanthemum Dynasty, the reigning deity is Naruhito, but Wenren has formed gangs to confront his brother, which is enough to prove that he is not a "pure subject". Wenren's behavior also fueled The arrogance of Princess Jizi, causing her to unscrupulously make various demands with the royal family, and even treat the royal staff harshly.
As a symbol of the country, the Japanese imperial family was supposed to present a warm picture of loving the people like a son and a father and filial piety, but the Wenren family made it a large-scale "palace fight" scene. When the two people are incompatible, the one who shoots first will definitely make public opinion uproar, and it is a matter of course for those who are in a low position to treat those who are in a higher position with courtesy, but Noriko can't even do the minimum of humility.

Ji Zifei's "conscientiousness".
Noriko's greatest contribution to the imperial family was the birth of The Little Prince Yujin. But Youren has also become a chip for their family's ambitions to expand and compete for power. If Yujin's existence only intensifies the contradiction between Naruhito and The Bunjin family, then what is the meaning of his existence?
It is certainly wrong to blindly deny the meaning of one's existence in the world. Because every life is valuable to the people around you, but sometimes it is a positive value, sometimes a reverse value.
Youren's positive value to the Wenren family is obvious, but its reverse value cannot be ignored. Without Yujin's presence, perhaps the Bunko family could live in peace, and Noriko might still be the humble and obedient Kiko who had just married into the imperial family.
Princess Kiko's "initiative" contrasts sharply with Empress Masako's helpless "lying flat". For Noriko, Masako is the one who is powerless to fight back, if you have already beaten a person to the ground, is it too much for you to sprinkle salt on her wound?
