"So what if my destiny does not have her. My heart is still filled with her and no one can empty it, not even me." ------------ I despised her. I despised how she schemed to get married to me. I despised her because of her arrogance. " Li Rui, you don't know how many times I have wished to kill you. " But all of this was my illusion. Everything was a mysterious trap of lies.

Sitting in the front hall of Plum Courtyard, Li Rui watched Li Chen as he shed tears in front of her just like he used to do whenever he hurt himself or he was scared in childhood.
"Jiejie… I ..am stupid, right?"
No answer came but he didn't need the answer as he himself knew it.
A few minutes passed as Li Chen continued to cry.
Li Rui glanced at the sky that was light blue in the early morning.
"Did you come here only to cry? If this is the thing then you should leave unless you want those Imperial Guards to find out that you're not in the Li Manor."
Li Chen was startled by these words but soon a bitter smile played on his lips as he remembered whatever he had done.
Not once he had done it many times.
His Jiejie would no longer coax him as she used to do in his childhood.
But it was only him who had earned her indifference. He deserved this. He no longer has any right to whine in front of her anymore.
