[ENG DUB] Love Upon Silk Pillows - Episode 4

Scholar Simon is confronted by a court official, who praises his 'performance' before revealing the Emperor's ultimatum: Simon must surrender his wife, Yvonne, to the palace or face ruin. Simon appears resigned, claiming there is nowhere to flee from the Emperor's power. Yvonne then confronts him, accusing him of choosing to trade her for a high position. With bitter resignation, she agrees to go, coldly rejecting Simon's final attempt at intimacy as she prepares to leave. The palace eunuch arrives to collect her, while Yvonne privately vows to turn her forced sacrifice into her own source of power.
