On the way, a voice has been instructing her how to get rid of all kinds of death threats and warning her not to open the box when she gets it back. Psyche overcame all kinds of difficulties and finally finished the task. On the way back, her curiosity drove her to open the box.

There are beautiful women inside, but they are sleeping ghosts in hell. It escaped from the box and attached itself to Psyche, turning her into a sleeping corpse. Cupid found Psyche sleeping on the ground, so he grabbed the sleeper from her hand and put it back in the box. Cupid forgave her, and Venus forgave her.
