只好假装不爱了
[zhĭ hăo jiă zhuāng bù ài le]
Reflecting a form of resignation and defense mechanism, meaning 'pretending not to love'. The underlying reason could range widely—perhaps out of necessity due to external pressure or self-preservation from hurt feelings—but always carries an element of forced acceptance towards ending or reducing a previously intense affection. The phrase speaks deeply to hidden sentiments of unexpressed longing and sacrifice.
