Li Na on the other hand had a sound mind, she wanted to help too but she knew very well how futile her effort would be. Also she knew there is no way Mei Hua or that barbaric woman is going to kill me so she steeled herself to endure this humiliation.
However, I was not aware of it, or as far as everything I've learned so far, killing men is taboo. So Mei Hua is only here to humiliate me, to break me, and to assert her dominance.
The pain was excruciating—like a freezing blade slicing through my flesh while molten fire surged through my veins—but I refused to kneel.
Why? Why was I being defiant? I was never that kind of guy. I was a "yes" man, always nodding along, avoiding conflict. That's why I stayed home most of the time—to dodge situations where saying no felt impossible. I bent my knees for everything back then, so why was I standing my ground now?
