Chapter 30 - When the Ice Heart Ignites

Chapter Thirty: When the Ice Heart Ignites

And he would never smile at her again… ever.

She opened her eyes slowly, and a single tear slid down her cheek — a tear no hand remained to wipe away.

She no longer had the strength to try.

Suddenly, the ground beneath her trembled — spiritual energy erupted from her body like a raging tempest!

Clouds gathered above the palace, thunder roared through the heavens — the entire world could feel her turmoil!

Ling Xuan, who had always been calm, poised, and serene… no longer existed.

What remained was a lost soul — a woman who had lost her reason to live.

She lifted her face toward the heavens, rain mingling with her tears,and screamed — a cry that pierced the very heart of creation:O cruel world… why?! Why did you take him from me?!Why didn't you let me tell him… that I loved him?! I'll make you bleed… as my heart bleeds now!

At that moment, the clouds above shattered — as though the heavens themselves wept with her — and the rain fell with the wrath of an emperor's grief.

Her black hair turned into a radiant, glowing blue — and the structure of her body began to awaken completely… the body of the Sea Empress!

She stood within the storm, the waters swirling around her in a sacred vortex, whispering in a broken voice that carried the echo of eternal sorrow: If I had known this would be the end… I would never have hesitated to tell him from the start…

But now… there was no one left to hear her.

No one left to answer.

In the depths of the Gu Family Palace, inside a room that had once been elegant and orderly, the scene had changed completely — everything was shattered.

Tables overturned, windows frozen solid, chandeliers hung suspended in the air, coated with layers of frost.

And in the center of that frozen ruin… sat Gu Yue on the floor, her hands stiff with ice, her crimson tears freezing before they could even touch the marble beneath her.

She could not scream.

She could barely even breathe.

"Our wedding was supposed to be in a month… I was supposed to stand beside him…" she whispered in a broken voice, her gleaming eyes soaked with burning tears that streaked down her beautiful face — yet all she could do was drown in the sea of regret.

I was a coward… a fool… why didn't I tell him? Why didn't I say that I loved him?!

She clutched her chest as though her heart itself were on fire — a pain deeper than any wound, sharper than any battle she had ever fought in her life.

Then… an immense surge of icy energy erupted from her.

The floor beneath her turned into a mirror of pure ice, and the walls cracked under the weight of the killing frost that burst forth from within her.

He was supposed to lie there beside her after their wedding…

But he was gone.

Dead.

And her heart had died with him.

It felt as if an invisible hand were strangling her chest; her breath caught, and she collapsed to her knees in the middle of the room, her wide eyes reflecting a shattering storm of disbelief.

No… no… this can't be real…she whispered, trembling, pressing her hand against her chest — where a black hole of grief tore her apart from the inside.

Words caught in her throat — words that had never been heard because she had never spoken them: You idiot… why didn't you stay alive?! Why did you leave me?!

She had loved him.

But she had never confessed — not once.

She could no longer contain the eruption within her.

A scream tore through the deathly silence of the palace, unleashing a terrifying wave of ice — freezing the walls, shattering mirrors, and coating every speck of dust in glimmering frost.

Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy?!!!

Her cry was an earthquake, echoing raw and endless anguish through the cold, lifeless halls —a sound that carried the weight of a love lost forever.

Her voice was a mixture of rage and despair, of love and regret, of a helplessness that had completely broken her.

Everything around her began to crack apart… just as her heart had shattered.

She knew her own stubbornness well; she had thought time was still on her side. She believed she could remain a little proud, make him chase her more, torment him a bit before finally confessing her love.

We were supposed to get married…Gu Yue whispered, her words like a conversation with herself, trying to convince her heart that what she was living through was not an illusion.

Only one month ago she had stood here in the same place, wearing her wedding dress, pretending not to care while her heart danced for that day. But fate had given her no chance.

He's gone… gone forever," she said in a voice caught inside her throat.

She trembled; her lips had taken on a pale blue under the onslaught of the icy energy that burst from her. She looked at her trembling hands, then clenched them with burning resolve.

If I was not strong enough to protect him… she thought, then added with a resolute inner voice: I will become strong enough to avenge him!

She stopped suddenly, her blue eyes like crystalline ice — cold, not stealing attention but fixing it. Yet beneath them something else glittered: a cold flame of hatred.

Su Ling Tian… I'm sorry… but I will not weep anymore." Gu Yue declared, her voice final.

She reached out, and in an instant the air around her froze. Ice crystals spread through the room, snow vortices forming and spinning through the space, as if grief had transformed into a mesmerizing and lethal storm.

And in the center of that hurricane stood Gu Yue, her eyes blazing with unyielding determination.

I will grow stronger… even if I must tear this world apart with my own hands! A world without my husband… has no right to exist.

In that decisive moment… Gu Yue changed forever.
