   In her dazed state, Jing Sha heard a man's deep, ruthless voice uttering lines so cringeworthy they sent chills down her spine. "Woman, how dare you try to escape?" "I told you long ago, you'll never escape my grasp!" "A woman I, Fu Jinting, have ever been with is mine in life and in death. She'll never escape me!" His large hand gripped Jing Sha's chin. The force was so strong it almost dislocated her shoulder, leaving her numb with pain. The man looked at her with a wicked, arrogant gaze, shoving a knife into her hand. Pointing to a man being held down by several bodyguards nearby, he said, "Chop off one of his fingers to please me, or you'll die with him. Woman, this is my chance for you to atone for your sins." The man's expression was disdainful, as if bestowing a favor. Jing Sha frowned, momentarily confused about the situation, her face blank as she remained motionless. Suddenly, everything around her froze.
