Sofia was originally a princess born into the Greek royal family, and she could have enjoyed a life of glory and wealth. However, the good times did not last long, the country was in turmoil, the royal family was in decline, and she was still a little girl when she suffered a merciless blow of fate, and had to leave her homeland and began a heavy life of exile.
During her years in exile, Sophia has seen too much and learned the ability to survive independently. She has become more mature and well-informed. It wasn't until 1962 that she met the same ill-fated man, Juan, and the two soon entered the palace of marriage.
At the beginning, the young and vigorous two supported each other, full of longing and dreams for the future. Juan gradually ascended to the throne and became King of Spain. Sophia also gradually adapted to royal life with his help and worked hard to play the role of a good queen.
However, the good times did not last long, and Juan's series of lace news continued to be exposed, so that Sophia continued to suffer pain and humiliation in her marriage. She has always been forbearing, but no one knows about the torment and despair in her heart.
Juan is nominally the king of a nation, enjoying supreme power and glory. But his private life was extremely chaotic and indulgent. According to data, from adulthood to the age of 80, he has had at least 5,000 lovers around him.
This staggering number is staggering. In terms of his reign, he will give up his current lover for a new love every week on average. One can imagine how shallow and short his relationship with these women is.
It's almost like disposables, and all of them are just tools to satisfy his momentary desires.
For example, an actress surnamed Li is a typical example. She became famous in one fell swoop for starring in an anti-Japanese drama, and it was when her career was on the rise, and Juana made her mistress.
The girl could have reached a higher stage on her own, but in the end she became a plaything for Juan's bed. In the end, he had to retire in a low-key manner and disappeared from there.
The list goes on and on. And during this period, his queen Sophia, the queen of the main palace, was still swallowing her anger. She had to appear on various public occasions with a smile on her face and play the image of a decent and complete queen.
Sophia's relationship with her two daughters has not been very warm. She has an introverted personality, few words, and needs to be busy dealing with her husband's cheating, so communication with her daughters has been insufficient.
When they grow up, the daughters gradually understand their mother's difficulties, but the emotional gap cannot be bridged. They marry and have children, and they seldom go home to visit. Sophia is tormented by a painful marriage, but she receives little solace from her daughter.
This also made her complain about her daughters in her heart.
Later, Sophia and her daughter-in-law Letizia were at odds everywhere. This strong woman makes Sophia feel anxious and uneasy. At various family gatherings, Letizia is always in the limelight, while Sophia stands awkwardly on the sidelines, having trouble fitting in.
She realized that this was also the inevitable result of her old age and decay, and it was difficult for her to stand on the cusp of the storm.
It's hard to imagine how much pain and humiliation Sophia endured. She had to put on a decent and calm coat and play the image of a "content and content" queen.
But behind that mask of forced laughter, what a bleak inner world like a pool of stagnant water.
She watched as Juan brought one woman after another into the palace. Some women still despise her "main palace" with empty eyes, relying on the favor of men to go wild.
What could she do? She could only grit her teeth secretly and endure the pain under the constraints of layers of red tape.
I don't know how many years this kind of grievance and forbearance has lasted. In this way, she used her youth, appearance and physical and mental health to fill the void left by her husband again and again.
She is the decent "backbone" of this dynasty, but she is not cherished and respected as she deserves. Even daughters and daughters-in-law can't give her real comfort.
She lived so hard and paid so much, but in the end, what she got was neglect, abandonment, and the fall of this dynasty. At that moment, she realized that she had really lost all her life in this life.
I have nothing left to lose, she thought.
In 2012, Juan's elephant-hunting scandal broke, prompting a nationwide outcry. The crowd was agitated and demanded that Juan step down, and the entire royal family faced an unprecedented crisis.
Eventually, under pressure, Juan had to sign a document announcing his abdication.
Sophia stood by as the dynasty she had guarded for decades fell apart. Her efforts and sacrifices were in vain, and she watched the fruits of her hard work fall short of an eye.
After his abdication, Juan went his own way and went abroad to entangle with all kinds of women. He is the culprit of this dynasty, but he can live a life of hunting for beauty as he wants.
And Sophia and her son Carlos still have to stay in the country, facing this broken royal family, trying to clean up the mess he left behind.
Queen Sophia's life was so unfortunate and miserable, she went through so much mental and physical torture, and in the end she had nothing.
Her tragedy is the first reminder that being ordinary is a blessing to be born. Born in the royal family, she thought that she was lucky in her fate, but she never imagined what kind of undercurrent lurked behind it.
She has no real support for herself throughout her life, and can only be at the mercy of others.
Secondly, we see how vulnerable and pitiful a woman is in this world if she is not financially independent. Sophia's experience illustrates this point.
When her husband abandoned her and her children were not close, she had nowhere to hide but to struggle in a broken family.
Finally, her experience also shows us what kind of despair a woman can experience when she gives her all but does not get anything in return. I would say to myself, don't be the next Sophia, keep your own life, and never easily commit to an object that cannot be delivered.
