"Why? Do you know why you did those things in the past then?" Qin Chuan asked Jian Yiling rhetorically.
Qin Chuan was now experiencing Jian Yiling's ending in the original novel.
He was experiencing what she previously experienced.
"I didn't have a choice whereas you do," Jian Yiling replied.
"I don't have a choice either," Qin Chuan said.
Qin Chuan knew Jian Yiling understood what he was feeling. In fact, she was probably the only person in this world who could relate to what he did.
However, in this life, she decided to be sensible, calm, and rational. She no longer had any attachment to him and she did not care about him either.
"I will do everything I can to save you," Jian Yiling said.
"Why would you want to save me?" Qin Chuan asked. The dead look in his eyes flickered momentarily because of Jian Yiling's words.
"I don't want you to become the person I once was."
"Is it because of sympathy?"
"No."
