Features: The protagonist of the book is a kind-hearted and brave knight who has achieved numerous victories in battle, earning the admiration of the king and the people, and receiving a set of golden armor. The knight, clad in the dazzling armor, is always ready to mount his warhorse and charge in all directions, challenging the evil knights, slaying the wicked dragon, and rescuing the beautiful maiden in distress. Even at home, he wears the clanking armor in self-satisfaction, unwilling to take it off for meals or sleep. Even his beautiful wife Juliet and adorable son Christopher have forgotten his face, and eventually, he himself forgets his true appearance.
One day, his wife tells him, "You love the armor more than you love me." She and her son prepare to leave him, and only then does the knight realize his panic. He tries to take off the armor, but it has rusted and cannot be removed! The knight goes to ask for help from the strongest blacksmith in the country, but his efforts are in vain. The knight finally realizes the severity of the situation and makes a major decision: he sets off to distant lands in search of someone who can remove the armor.
Guided by the court jester's bag, he decides to venture into the boundless forest to seek Merlin, the teacher of King Arthur and the mysterious magician. From then on, under Merlin's guidance, the knight begins his journey to shed the armor and find himself. As the cheerful court jester said—"One must taste all kinds of suffering." The knight's adventures are fraught with danger. After passing through the Castle of Silence, the Castle of Knowledge, and the Castle of Courage, the knight finally reaches the peak of truth, "letting go," and sheds the mask of his personality. Tears that come from the depths of his heart finally melt the rusted armor.
