"I know, love, i know, I'm right here, just breathe." Hao Ran cooed into your ear, stroking your hair as he tried to distract you from the pain.

The pain of having your legs broken into bits by his guards as your cries of pain and desperation filled his chambers.

You were foolish. Foolish to think that you could bribe the guards into letting you run away. Foolish to think that Hao Ran would let you off with a warning like he always did.
