He didn't reconcile! He couldn't reconcile!
The Imperial Knights marched closer and Ren Chenghao shielded her with his body like a wounded beast, his eyes wide and ferocious. "No! No! You can't take her away! NO!"
In the end, he was pushed, kicked, punched, attacked, subdued, and only after they had broken both of his legs did they painstakingly manage to pry Song Xingyi away from him.
His hands desperately held onto him as he cried. "No, don't take her away! She is innocent! She hasn't committed any mistake! Kill me! Just kill me instead!"
