摘掉皇冠我依旧是王
[zhāi diào huáng guān wŏ yī jiù shì wáng]
Without my crown, I remain a king. Conveys the idea that a true king does not need outward symbols of power to prove his worth; even when stripped of titles and glory, their inherent strength remains undiminished. Used metaphorically here expressing a firm belief in maintaining authority without external confirmation from others.
