Rejected After Confessing from the Start, I Swear I'll Never Love Again

"Ladies... goddesses... my sisters! On this bright and sunny... uh, afternoon, I, Ling Ye, am standing here with just one question for you!"

"Would you... be willing... to explore the ultimate mysteries of martial arts with me and stride together toward a wonderful future of surging blood and passion?! I'd trade ten years of my brother's single life for your answer!"

He raised the megaphone once more and, with the last of his strength, let out a grief-stricken cry to the crowd about to disperse below:

"I get it! So... I'm the real clown here!"

"Just as I thought! With no woman in your heart, your blade will naturally be divine!"

"Love? Not even dogs would bother with it!"

"Starting today! I, Ling Ye, am closing off my heart and renouncing love! I'll never love again, and then I won't get hurt!!" His voice echoed across the empty sports field, tinged with a note of tragedy.
