In the second scene, she kneels on the cold floor tiles, her small face upturned, her eyes resolute as she speaks her vow never to betray her promise.
His expression remained cold and stern.
But only he knew how fast his heart was beating.
He told her: You must succeed.
But in his heart he was saying: You must come back alive.
Every subsequent exchange was in the form of letters.
Successful reports kept coming in.
He should have been happy, but behind the good news, he could see her bleeding heart.
Because he understood her, and he also understood those righteous new factions.
So he knew that she had earned their trust through her sincerity.
He felt very sorry.
But now that things have come to this, there's no turning back, no matter which side she's on.
The final scene is the end of the war.
When he learned that she had betrayed him, he was actually quite relieved.
He had long since grown tired of this rotten monarchy and palace.
But behind him are many people who believe in monarchical power and are willing to fight for it.
Therefore, he cannot reveal any of his true thoughts.
Who told him to be the last ruler of the Qi clan?
If you bear this surname, you must shoulder the honor and responsibility associated with it.
Sure enough, he lost, and he was very happy to lose.
He set fire to the palace that symbolized glory and the last bloodline of the Qi family.
As the flames raged, he stood on the high platform and, to his surprise, saw her.
She was already twenty-one years old at that time.
For three whole years, they had not seen each other even once.
He watched her walk step by step into the sea of fire.
He wanted to shout at her to turn around and go back to the new school.
Before he could even utter the words, he knew that with her personality, once the truth was revealed, it would be impossible for her to return to the new school and live a life of ignominy.
So, she came back.
He looked at her, and finally collapsed at the bottom of the steps.
She died.
He himself was also unable to breathe due to the thick smoke and slowly collapsed on the high platform.
In his final moments, as his consciousness faded, he slowly reached out towards her.
He wanted to tell her: I'm sorry, I ruined you.
I also want to tell her: Thank you for coming back and letting me see you one last time.
Finally, he wanted to say: he didn't blame her, he loved her.
Qi Heng loves her.
The last monarch raised his hand, but eventually slowly lowered it.
He, his beloved, and the monarchy perished in the fire.
The hairdryer stopped.
Gu Chengyu had just finished turning the last page.
If he were to put himself in Lin Wan's shoes, he felt like he was suffocating.
"Alright!" Su Qianqian turned off the hairdryer, touched his now fluffy and dry black hair with satisfaction, and looked a little smug.
"Ayu, shall we change clothes and rehearse our lines? Just those three emotional scenes."
Gu Chengyu let out a breath, the complex emotions in his eyes fading away.
He stood up and pinched her delicate little face: "Okay, let's go change our clothes first."
"I have something to tell you after the performance." (This chapter has been read. Please click to continue reading the next chapter!)
