For all his suffering in Qing, the crown prince did not deserve to die just like that. He survived homesickness, humiliation, and pressure from the Khan's court just to end up dying from poison and a brokenheart. His ungrateful father suspected not just his son but also his daughter in law, the crown princess, of treason? His first signs of madness was when he started to overthink it all. His son bravely faced homesickness and uncertainty by submitting himself as hostage to the Qing and yet the king of Joseon later went unfeeling to all the crown prince's suffering. His poor son's wife has to endure the same treatment. Brandished as a traitor and forced to drink poison, such an ungrateful bastard. The woman who followed her husband all the way to Qing. Who loyally by his side just to be accused of treason. They both suffered all that in Qing only to die on the hands of their own people. The king of Joseon killed his own son.
