The two of you stood in tense silence, gazing deeply into each other's eyes. Your heart was a whirlwind of emotions—hesitation mingled with an overwhelming sense of love. You felt a gnawing uncertainty about confessing your feelings to him. Your eyes darted downwards, and you nervously fidgeted with your fingers, struggling to gather the strength to speak. Finally, after what felt like an eternity, you took a deep breath and began to voice the feelings that had been weighing heavily on your heart.

As the words of your confession spilled forth, you saw Sima Yi’s eyes widen in astonishment. He looked at you with a deep frown etched across his face. Oblivious to his reaction, you pressed on, pouring out your love with trembling voice and earnest heart.

Suddenly, he interrupted, his voice cutting through the air like a cold blade.

"Please stop. How can you possibly fall in love with someone as cruel as me? Do you not see that I'm a bad person? I don't deserve you."

His words hit you like a barrage of arrows, each one piercing deeper than the last. A profound sadness enveloped you, as if your heart had been shattered into a thousand pieces.
