It was a sad and desperate discovery, because it meant that he would lose the country he loved and all his faith. He had fantasized countless times about the scene when the Chu State ruled the world, and only now did he want to believe that such a scene would only appear in his fantasy from now on.

Thinking that in his life, he has gone through countless hardships and struggles, just so that the Chu State can unite this territory that is scattered into seven pieces. He doesn't care how much he has suffered or how much he has been wronged, as long as his ideals can be realized, then all this he has suffered is worth it in his opinion.

He dedicated everything he had to the state of Chu, but what about the monarch he served? He would only listen to slander, not arguing between right and wrong, and pushing the state of Chu to the brink of collapse again and again.

He has tried, tried to give him advice, tried to win him the opportunity to dominate the world. But all his efforts have turned into the laughing stock of those greedy and ugly princes and nobles in the end, what can he do?

He is not an immortal with great powers, he is just an ordinary man with patriotic feelings but nowhere to express it, he really has no choice but to wait for the demise of the Chu State.

He no longer had illusions about his king, nor of domination, and from the beginning of his second exile, he was utterly hopeless.

He is remorseful, and he also blames himself, but what is the use of these remorseful and self-reproach? They will not be exchanged for the former glory of the Chu State, and they will not provide any guarantee for the future of the Chu State, they can only give him an excuse and an excuse to comfort himself in the dead of night.

Finally, the state of Chu was defeated.

In 278 BC, the Qin general Bai Qi captured Yingdu, and King Xiang of Chu was forced to lead the ruling princes and nobles to flee in disarray. At this point, this country, which once dominated one side and was the most powerful among the Seven Kingdoms, completely died at the hands of Qin.

At this time, Qu Yuan was exiled to the Miluo River, and after learning of the fall of the Chu State, he did not hesitate to jump into the leap and end his life with the demise of the country.

He is a native of Chu and does not want to be a slave of Qin. Since he couldn't resist the invasion of Qin in his life, he would die to pay tribute to all the heroic souls who had sacrificed everything for the Chu State.

If he can protect the dignity of the last great power for the Chu State, then he Qu Yuan, although he has died nine times, he still has no regrets!
