Renxi's POV

It has been months since Runyu told me he loved Jinmi. My heart still hurts and I've finally realized that I'm deeply in love with him. Recently, Jinmi's father had passed and all we knew was that it was from pure glazed fire which is Phoenix's power and also the Empress' but she had gotten locked up for murdering the Floral Goddess and attempting to murder her daughter, Jinmi. Jinmi told me that she has suspicions that it would be Phoenix but I sat quietly whenever she would mention that. Phoenix would never kill from anger. He is kind hearted and nothing like his parents. For some reason I felt grief and sadness when I heard that the Water Immortal and the Wind Immortal had been murdered. If it wasn't Phoenix or the Empress then...who would have done such a thing?

It was almost time for Runyu and Jinmi's wedding which I sadly had to attend. I held in the pain and watched as the two walked down the aisle together. My heart ached with every step they took. I started breathing heavily and that's when the Match Maker rubbed my back in comfort.
"You should have been the wife of Runyu not Jinmi! Phoenix and Jinmi's chemistry is never ending why did she decide to marry Runyu?!" He smacked his teeth in disappointment. I put my head down and focused on trying to hold in my tears. While I was doing so I heard someone loudly object. It was Phoenix. The two brothers battled out and it became war in the throne room. Everything was happening so fast and suddenly Phoenix snapped, his whole body being covered with blue flames. What I didn't expect was for Jinmi to take out the dagger that her father had given her and stabbed Phoenix in the heart with it. There were gasps and swords clanging together all around the room. Phoenix slowly turned around and looked at the love of his life.
"Why?" He said slowly almost losing his balance.
"It was you! You killed Dad and Auntie Linxiu!! You killed them!" As she said those last three words the swords that was pierced in his chest viciously went through his whole heart and then pierced into the throne room wall. Phoenix fell to his knees helplessly.
"Phoenix!" I yelled scared for his life. It hurt me seeing him in so much pain. I couldn't function it. He was my best friend as well...seeing my two best friends in this position made me want to hurt myself.
He then held onto Jinmi's hands and asked his final question.
"D-Did you ever...love me?" He asked breathlessly.
She looked at him with a blank expression.
"Never Ever." As she said those words, the second prince fell to the floor, he breathed his last breaths and eventually his eyes fell closed. Jinmi then fell to the ground right next to him, her hand slowly coming up to his face to touch it but she was not able to in time since he fully died and disappeared into the air. Jinmi then started sobbing.
"XUFENG!!!" She yelled in sorrow. It hurt my heart seeing her like this because I went through the same thing. I suddenly remember when I was in that room with Runyu.

Flashback~
"That's because I love Jin Mi. She makes me feel some way and you do as well...I don't know who I love more." He said and I cried even more.
"I don't even know what love is..but when I'm around you..I feel like I'm finally breathing after being locked up for years." I sobbed to him. My tears were uncontrollable and then all of a sudden, I felt a soft touch on my lips. It was his mouth on mine. My breath hitched and he laid me down, getting on top of me. We held the kiss for so long that I was losing air but I didn't complain. After a little he stopped and I finally breathed in, catching my breath. He held my face with his hands and tears were slowly flowing.
"I...love Jin Mi...I'm sorry." He said and got off of me. I looked shocked. That kiss felt amazing but when he told me he loved Jin Mi my heart shattered. He left the room and my heart started hurting.
I groaned in pain. Good thing this room was sound proof.
"RUNYU!!" I yelled his name from hatred and sorrow, I thought. I spit up blood.
"Good bye Y/n." I heard the faint voice in my head and then I cried hard until I coughed up more blood with an elixir. I Love Him...

Flashback Ends~

She killed...the love of her life...ruthlessly.
Jinmi coughed up a lot of blood. An elixir then came out. My eyes widened seeing that the same thing had happened to me...was..she also blinded by love? She didn't know that she loves him?
I ran to her the same time Runyu had and laid her in my arms.
"Jinmi...Jinmi?" I yelled in worry.
"I-I'm Sorry..." she said and went unconscious.
What was she sorry for? I had gotten confused but came out of my senses. I flew her to Runyu's palace and placed her down in her bed. I then gave her some extra prowess since the Elixir had taken some out of her when she had coughed it up. Once I was finished I breathed out a heavy sigh and kneeled in front of her.

"Jinmi...what have you done? You killed your lover...we both experienced the same thing but yours is worse...my lover is still alive and yours...is dead...I'm sorry I had acted like I loved Phoenix...I don't love him...I only like him as a best friend...I'm sorry we tricked you but he just loved you so much that he would had practically done anything for your attention. I love...I love Runyu...and you didn't realize that you were going to marry the one I love...but it's one sided. He doesn't love me back because he loves you...I'm jealous of you Jinmi...I hope that when you wake up you realize who your really in love with..." I sighed and kissed her forehead. I then turned to the door and walked out, closing it behind me. I saw Runyu so I immediately avoided him but he grabbed my arm, pushing me into his chest.

"What are you doing?" I asked puzzled and he came to my ear level and whispered in my ear.
"She killed your lover...how are you feeling?" Once he asked that I got out of his grip and slapped him.
"He isn't my lover...we were acting...I'm not explaining why and you have no right to speak to me that way!!" I yelled and he grabbed my shoulders gripping them hard.
"I will now be the Heavenly Emperor...no one can stop me, love." He hugged me massaging my neck. I started feeling uncomfortable so I tried to get out of his grips but he wouldn't let me go.
" let me go!" I yelled but he didn't listen. He looked at me and leaned in, kissing me. I felt him pull my waist close to his body. I was slowly losing oxygen so I struggled under him. I then hit his shin and got out of his grip. I didn't realize that I was crying.

I know that that kiss was fake.
I know he's only using me for his own pleasure.
He doesn't love me.
He still loves Jinmi.

I backed away from him, my legs suddenly feeling like jelly. His eyes then softened. He then came towards me and held up his arms but I flinched, scared that he would do anything else. I breathlessly gasped as I held up my hands with my eyes closed. I felt his hands hold my arms. I looked at him curiously. He pulled me into his embrace and I started to cry silently.

"Renxi...I'm sorry...I'm sorry okay? I love you. I have loved you ever since I saw you but the same is for Jinmi as well...please forgive me...I love you dearly but...Jinmi has my heart..." after he said that, I let myself go limp. I felt dizzy and sick to my stomach. He caught me in his arms and carried me to my room in his palace.
He laid me on the bed and I just looked around blankly.

How come I never get a Happy Ending?
I shakily sighed and looked around like I was new to the place.

"You'll never love me the way I want you to, right? I'm your pawn...I'm your clothes that you don't like...that you get to throw away whenever you'd choose ..You'll never love me...but I still love you...even after everything you've done to me...why does my fate have to be with me loving you deeply? Why do I love you?!" I pointed at him in anger and he looked at me, listening from ear to ear.

"Your...a manipulator...a narcissist...your psycho...but...I still love you...Damn it!" I grabbed my hair and breathed heavily.
"I'm nothing...I'm nothing..." I said lightly and sat down on the bed. My back against nothing. Runyu walked up to me and gently laid me down on the bed. I looked at him with so much love. He moved the hair out of my face and behind my ear like how we first met. I couldn't bear this much longer. I moved him away from me and he stood up straight.
"Leave..." I said lowly but he didn't move a single bit.
"LEAVE!" I said and threw icicles at the walls. He slowly turned around and walked out of the room, closing the door gently.

I laid in my bed, cry from stress and pain. Mentally and physically. I continued to cry until I fell asleep.
