In the scorching heat of midsummer, the lotus breeze brings fragrance, the cicadas chirp noisily, and the entire city of Yuzhou is enveloped by a rolling heat wave.
Only this courtyard deep in the Lu Mansion is cold all year round, with not even a ray of skylight falling.
The room was even more chilly, and the torture instruments displayed on all sides were already soaked in dark red blood. Instead of the usual stench of blood, there was a faint wisp of pomelo fragrance that lingered strangely. It was mixed in with the thick blood, making the whole cell even more terrifying and weird.
In the corner, the woman huddled quietly. His black hair was messy and scattered, his face was as pale as paper, and his whole body was covered with dense old and new scars. There was only one pair of eyes, as dark and deep as a cold pool, full of inexorable loneliness and stubbornness.
Thick iron chains penetrated the collarbones of both shoulders, and cold shackles tightly locked the wrist bones. The skin and flesh were torn, and the flesh and blood were blurred. The pure appearance of the past has long been torn into pieces by torture.
"Lin Anhe."
The man in green-colored brocade clothes stood slowly, it was Lu Fengran. He lowered his eyes and slowly wiped the short blade in his hand. An inexplicable restlessness was suppressed all over his body, like gravel thrown into still water, with an undercurrent surging. His eyebrows were cold and his tone was filled with casual impatience.
"If you hand over something like that early, why would you trap yourself here and suffer all the humiliation?"
Lin Anhe lowered his eyes slightly and said nothing.
She had long been accustomed to being tortured day after day, but her back was still like a lonely bamboo outside the courtyard, straight and straight. She would rather break than give in, unwilling to bow her head and obey.
…
It turns out that the most cruel regret in the world is that once I had so much tenderness, it was completely destroyed and I had nothing left.
If I had to do it over again, I would never live for others again... I would do it again, the real Lin Anhe...
Intention: Be yourself
