"But you told me, Cultivator, follow your heart!" Tang Ru said with tears in her eyes, "My love for you, my affection, contains not a single shred of falsehood. Why do you reject me so?"
Guo Yi hung his head in silence.
"Tell me, why!" Tang Ru asked harshly.
"If there's no love, there's no love, why force it?" Guo Yi looked up and gazed into Tang Ru's eyes.
In that moment!
Tang Ru stood stiffly in place.
"You're saying... you don't love me?" Tang Ru looked at Guo Yi, stunned.
"Yes!" Guo Yi nodded.
"Could it be… from beginning to end, you have never loved me?" Tang Ru asked.
"Yes!" Guo Yi nodded again.
Better a painful ending than unending pain.
Just as it is said, in times of chaos, drastic measures are needed, just as serious illness requires strong medicine. Otherwise, one cannot cut ties and bring order to chaos.
