NEZHAAAA :'(
R.F. Kuang really just hit us with
"She's the only divine thing he's ever believed in. The only creature in this vast, cruel land who could kill him. And sometimes, in his loveliest dreams, he imagines she does."
and
"In all of his worst nightmares, she's dying. She's fading away in his arms, helpless and whimpering, while hot dark blood spills over his fingers.
This, he tells her.
He doesn't tell her that his hand holds the blade."
This is painful.
