Ending Synopsis

Wu Yuanzhao chooses to leave the palace on her own terms. Not defeated — freed. She walks away from the game of thrones entirely, finding peace in a life beyond the palace walls.

A Gentle Farewell is the ending for players who refused to play the palace’s game. It’s not a defeat — it’s a conscious choice. Wu Yuanzhao recognizes that some battles aren’t worth winning if winning means losing yourself.
