The ending be
Emperor Shen Yian is a benevolent king, and General Xiao Linyuan is his sharpest sword. All Xiao Linyuan wanted in his life was to show him his sincerity, but Shen Yian only saw the country and the people. So Xiao Linyuan raised his sword to rebel, just wanting to pull him off the throne and lock him into his arms.
As Jian Feng pointed, Shen Yian smiled. He thought that Xiao Linyuan finally wanted this blood-stained country. "Okay," he said softly, "if this is the world you want—"
He took a sudden step forward and pierced his best friend's sword with his chest. "What I wanted was never the throne, but a world where the people could live and work in peace and contentment, and where the world would never have war..." He used the cleanest blood to extinguish the fire of love that had never been ignited.
Xiao Linyuan held his increasingly cold body and ascended the throne that no one wanted. In the following decades, he abolished heavy taxes and quelled border troubles, and became a wise king praised by history books. Only late at night, he would press the sword that could no longer cleanse the blood against his heart, tracing the temperature of that person in pain.
——He finally lived the way he wanted, but lost forever the person who could see him as he was.
Purpose: In an extremely unequal relationship, love can become the cruelest punishment. ◦ Sometimes, loving someone too much and hating someone too much will have the same ending. Regarding redemption, Xiao Linyuan's road to becoming a "wise king" is a late atonement, but what he atones for is not the sin of "regicide", but the stupidity of "I actually thought that violence could get love." He became a wise king, not to apologize to the world, but to apologize to Shen Yi'an's ideals: "I will protect the world you want. Next time... Don't meet me."
