On Muyu Peak, the women have studied aesthetics to the extreme, where shame refers to the feelings of shame and disgrace triggered by the moral inferiority of the aesthetic object.
It is the moral emotion of self-awareness and self-reproach.
Yet, this emotion is quite peculiar; at its core, it is a value experience, based on certain moral standards, which is the premise for generating self-esteem. In other words... it only exists if you have moral standards.
When you are unaware of the other's existence, even if you are performing on stage, you won't feel anything.
But once you become aware...
You become like Ah Qing, nervous to the point where your pupils tremble lightly, unconsciously biting your lower lip.
Initially, Ah Qing did not have the emotion of shame because, in this world, people do not feel shame or moral sense towards those with lower status than themselves. Those in high positions are often like this, not to mention Ah Qing, who considers herself a bad woman?
