The throne itself is within reach — and within danger. A childbirth scene, a bandit attack, and the question of what to do with Xu Minhui: this chapter is a crucible that tests every survival instinct you've developed. Seven bad endings wait for those who hesitate or misjudge.
BE 060 — Strategy +, but the public display makes you a target
Resilience + — Main path; you accept without making a spectacle
Resolve + — Main path; fear motivates better than trust here
BE 061 or BE 062 — Insufficient pressure leads to complications
Scene 100 — You survive the birth
BE 063 — The birth fails
BE 064 — Strategy +, but you're found and trapped
Resolve + — Main path; action beats hiding
Scene 102 — You remove the threat
Scene 103 — You preserve a potential asset
BE 065 — Murder creates more problems than it solves
BE 066 — The method is traced back to you
Ambition + — Chapter complete; you commit to the ultimate goal
The 'keep pushing' option requires quick response. Missing it leads to BE 063. Stay alert during the childbirth sequence.
Both paths continue the story, but eliminating her requires choosing a method — and both assassination and poison lead to bad endings. The actual main path is to let go and resolve to become Empress, which bypasses the elimination choice entirely.
