Punishment Valley is the place where the Tian family disciplines their criminals.
It could even be said that it is a place designed to torture a person to death.
If someone survives the punishment term, their guilt is absolved.
But few are those who come out alive, and most that do are ruined.
The phrase 'enter the valley and lose one's mind' is not just an idle saying.
The typical sentence in Punishment Valley is only one day, yet among those who are subjected to such a term, hardly one in a hundred remains sane.
For Tian Chang, a month's sentence was almost a declaration of his death. Since the establishment of Punishment Valley, no criminal has ever survived half a month.
Of course, Tian Anping is not included in this count. He voluntarily stayed in Punishment Valley for a year…
In short, to many in the Tian family, facing execution would be preferable to entering Punishment Valley, which speaks to its horrors.
