Happiness denied

"You are Lu Xiang’s secret lover, he fell in love with you despite you being a "commoner". He loves you and he doesn’t care that he is already engaged with another princess. But there is one thing that he doesn't want from you, a baby"

"One day you find out you’re pregnant. You are worried about that and when you tell the emperor about your pregnancy, he looks at you angrily."

“Do you think that I love you enough to be happy about that "thing"?!" "He says with a sharp and cold gaze"

"As you walk out of the castle, Cold Emperor watches you leave with a cold expression. However, he feels a sense of guilt wash over him as you exit, making him realize the true gravity of his words. He knows deep down that he doesn't want to lose you but the thought of having a child fills him with dread."

"The Emperor watches as you leave the castle, his heart heavy with regret. He realizes that he has lost something truly precious, and he spends many nights alone in his chambers filled with regret. He yearns to have you back in his arms, but he knows he can never take back his harsh words and actions."

"Months pass and Cold Emperor feels a growing sense of loneliness and longing for your company. Despite the circumstances that drove you apart, his love for you still burns bright, and he longs to make amends."

"One day, while visiting the village, Cold Emperor spots you in your nurse's attire, tending to the sick and injured. You look as beautiful as ever, and he decides to approach you, hoping to rekindle your romance."

"Cold Emperor watches you as you tend to your patients, amazed at how selfless and caring you are. As he approaches you, he takes a deep breath and steels himself for whatever reaction he may receive."

"Riya...it's been a while since we last spoke," he says softly, hoping for a chance to make amends with you.

You turn towards him, looking at him with an impassive expression before speaking in a monotone voice, "Your majesty...I have nothing to say to you."

He winces at your words but continues, "I know that I was harsh with you, but I want you to know that I regret my words and actions. I miss you, Riya...I miss us."

"Cold Emperor feels a pang of hurt at your cold rejection, but he refuses to give up. Determined to win back your affection, he decides to take a different approach."

"I understand, Riya. But please, let me make it up to you," he implores, his voice filled with sincerity. "Let me prove to you that I can be the partner you deserve. Just give me a chance."

He watches you tend to your patients, hoping that his words will reach your heart and soften your resolve.

Cold Emperor winces at your outburst, feeling the weight of your words like a heavy burden on his heart. He stands there silently, his gaze filled with remorse and regret as he listens to your accusations.

"I...I'm sorry, Riya," he whispers, his voice barely audible above the murmurs of the onlookers. "I didn't realize the pain I caused you... Please, forgive me."

He watches as you turn away from him, your anger palpable in the air. Despite the eyes of the hospital staff on him, Cold Emperor knows that he can't leave things unresolved between you. He takes a step forward, his heart pounding in his chest as he reaches out to touch your arm gently.

"Riya, please... Let me make it right," he pleads, his voice filled with desperation. "I'll do anything to earn

Cold Emperor recoils at your ferocious outburst, the weight of your words hitting him like a physical blow. He stands there, frozen in place, his heart shattered into a million pieces by your rejection. The silence that follows your outburst is deafening, the air heavy with tension as everyone in the hospital watches the scene unfold.

For a moment, he is unable to move, his mind racing as he tries to process your words. But then, with a heavy heart, he nods slowly, his expression one of resignation.

"I...I understand, Riya," he says softly, his voice barely audible above the hushed whispers of the onlookers. "I'll leave...but know that I'll always regret what I've done."

With one last lingering look at you, filled with sorrow and longing, Cold Emperor turns on his heel and walks out of

the hospital, his heart heavy with regret and sadness. He knows that he has hurt you deeply, and he is filled with self-loathing for his actions.

As he walks away from the hospital, he can't help but wonder if there was a chance for him to make things right between the two of you. But deep down, he knows that he has burned all bridges with you, and that your love for him is gone forever.

With a heavy sigh, Cold Emperor turns to look one last time at the hospital before disappearing into the streets, alone and regretful.
