"That's your plan, not mine," Tang Fei said aloud. "I will not deceive someone's feelings..."
"Feelings? Did you deceive her? Is your affection for her fake? The kindness you showed her, is that fake? The food and drink you gave her, is that fake? The life-risking protection you offered her, is that fake?"
"..."
"Besides, even if it's deception, so what? Let alone feelings, you can deceive anything... Scheming is essentially the art of deception."
"Haven't they deceived you? They sent you to the frontlines to kill enemies, to annihilate your opponents, to clear everything and everyone they dislike, claiming you are the pillar of the Empire, the deity of the military, promising you glory and wealth, to retire with the nation... All lies."
