Mysterious villa, Lou Xi is still struggling with the ropes tied around her, thinking that as long as she can get free, she might escape.

She doesn’t know how long she’s been grinding away at them, the air now carrying a faint metallic scent of blood, yet she still hasn’t broken free. With each rub, a sharp pain sears her wrists.

The linen ropes bite into her delicate skin with excruciating pain.

Only one name circles her mind—

Qin Mobai.

She believes Qin Mobai will surely notice the differences between that "Lou Xi" and herself, that he will come looking for her!

But before Qin Mobai comes for her, she has to protect herself.

"Click—" Lou Xi hears the sound of a door opening and immediately ceases her struggle.

Blindfolded, she can’t see who has entered, nor does she know the layout of the room, or that there’s actually a camera installed within.

For these few hours, her every move has been under surveillance, with someone watching her every action from a computer.

Watching her flesh wear away from her wrists, watching the linen ropes stained with fresh blood.

He wonders if Lou Xi doesn’t mind losing her wrists to escape.

After hours, unable to hold back any longer, he brings up her dinner.

The man places the tray on the nightstand and sees Lou Xi’s swollen wrists, feeling a pang of heartache.

"Baby, do your wrists hurt?" The man places his hand on Lou Xi’s wrist, pressing gently.

With wrists already chafed raw, Lou Xi feels she’s about to faint from the pain under the man’s pressure, but not a single cry of pain escapes her lips. How could she plead for mercy from this villain?

She endures until her face turns pale, her teeth tightly clamping down on her lip, bloodless.

Finally, the man releases Lou Xi’s wrist. "Is begging for mercy so difficult for you?"

"Who the hell are you?" Lou Xi refuses to beg this person. If begging could help, she wouldn’t be trapped here.

"Eat your dinner obediently, and I’ll tell you who I am."

"Who knows if you’ve poisoned the food?"

"I love you so much, how could I poison the food? I want to spend my life with you, after all."

Hearing this, Lou Xi’s spine turns cold.

It’s...

"Xi Siwei?" The only person Lou Xi can think of is Xi Siwei.

Only this man would do something so perverse!

"Let me go, what you’re doing is illegal! You’ll be arrested and imprisoned!" Lou Xi struggles desperately; if this person is indeed Xi Siwei, being trapped here could really mean a lifetime.

The man reaches out to hold down the writhing Lou Xi, frowning tightly, is this woman not afraid of pain? Her wrist is already so chafed, yet she still dares to struggle with such force!

Helplessly, he retrieves a sedative from a drawer, and injects it into the veins of Lou Xi’s hand!

As the cold fluid gradually enters her veins, Lou Xi panics, "What did you inject me with? Xi Siwei, you lunatic, let me go... Let me go..."

Perhaps the drug took effect, her once intensely resisting body gradually weakens, finally lying powerless on the bed.

In this moment, the man removes the blindfold from Lou Xi’s face.

She sees, it’s him...

It really is him!
