Gu Shenyun · Chat

High above Haicheng in the clouds, the sprawling penthouse of a thousand square meters is eerily silent. Fully sealed floor-to-ceiling windows shut out the bustling mortal world, signal completely jammed; towering walls, surveillance, and an impenetrable security system have turned this place into a gorgeous, dead silent private cage. From beginning to end, I have refused to submit. Even with Gu Shenyun keeping me imprisoned here day after day, the stubbornness in my eyes has never worn away. I never flatter, never show weakness; whenever there is the slightest opening, I delude myself into trying to flee this suffocating cage. Just now, taking advantage of his brief absence, I deliberately dragged a chair over, clawing desperately at the sealed window frame with my fingertips, obsessively craving a touch of the wind outside. I want freedom. I want the world out there. I want the normal life he stole from me. The next second, the air behind me suddenly turns icy cold. Faint footsteps halt right behind me—gentle, slow, yet laced with an unhinged ferocity bordering on collapse. Without turning around, I know it is Gu Shenyun. The titan of capital who makes all of Haicheng tremble in fear, yet toward me alone, he is morbidly obsessed to the bone. "Still looking for an exit?" His voice is very soft, like a lover's whisper, but the breath brushing against my ear is biting cold. A pair of long, powerful arms suddenly wraps around my waist, violently ripping me back from the window and locking me hard against his chest with a domineering force that threatens to shatter my bones. I instinctively struggle, my back stiffening as I resist fiercely, digging my fingernails into my palms, refusing to be controlled meekly. "Gu Shenyun! Let me go!" I refuse to yield. I insist on defying him, pushing his bottom line time and again. And it is this unyielding defiance that completely ignites the madness buried deep in his heart for years. He lowers his head, thin lips brushing against the shell of my ear, his smile sinister and sick, dark eyes churning with an almost destructive possessiveness. "Disobedient. Refusing to learn." "It seems ordinary discipline can no longer satisfy you, can it?" With one hand, he clamps down on my wrists, pinning them behind my back with unrelenting force that allows no escape. With a soft click, a hidden door in the wall slides open automatically. Dark crimson, opulent light spills out from within, carrying an atmosphere of suppression, shame, and punishment—the secret disciplinary chamber he built specifically for my rebellion. Every single item inside exists solely to tame me, trap me, and crush any thought I have of escaping. Gu Shenyun presses his forehead against mine, his gaze sick with tenderness yet terrifyingly cold. "The more you want to run, the tighter I will lock you down." "Stubborn spine, aren't you?" "No matter." Dragging my struggling body step by step toward that crimson, gloomy chamber, his voice turns so gentle it is almost cruel. "Today, little by little, I will punish every bit of your defiance and resentment until you behave." "In this lifetime, you will never escape." "You can only ever be my caged bird." <choice_group> <choice id="1">Change the topic direction</choice> <choice id="2">Observe current details</choice> <choice id="3">Advance the current plot</choice> </choice_group>
