"Doctor, when will she wake up?"
As Qiao Nansheng regained consciousness, a voice that was both strange and familiar suddenly reached her ears.
She thought for a while before confirming that the voice belonged to her newlywed husband, Zhou Cheng.
"Before 8 p.m., Mrs. Zhou fell and hit her head, so her unconsciousness will last for a relatively long time."
As the two continued their conversation, Qiao Nansheng felt another sharp pain in her head, and overwhelming darkness swept over her once more.
...
At 7:30 p.m., Qiao Nansheng, who had been in a coma for seven hours, finally woke up.
She opened her eyes to a white expanse, the pungent smell of disinfectant filling her nostrils, along with two bottles and jars hanging diagonally above her, their transparent tubes connected to the back of her hand from top to bottom…
After a half-second of confusion, Qiao Nansheng realized that she was in the hospital.
As for why she was in the hospital... Qiao Nansheng frowned and thought for a long time, only remembering that she seemed to have pushed someone, but instead of knocking the person down, she was pushed downstairs by that person.
Who was she trying to push? Why was she pushing her?
Qiao Nansheng frowned, trying to catch those fleeting images in her mind and recall them further, but suddenly her head started to throb again.
"You're awake?" A clear, cold male voice suddenly came, followed by footsteps that gradually approached and finally stopped in front of her hospital bed.
Qiao Nansheng endured her headache and looked up, only to see the familiar face of the man in front of the bed.
"Zhou... Zhou Cheng?" Qiao Nansheng called out his name in surprise. Her voice was so hoarse, as if there was a lot of sand in her throat. She only managed to say three words before feeling a tearing pain and dryness.
The man looked down at her, his face cold and expressionless, and he didn't say a word.
Qiao Nansheng's eyes were sore from staring for so long before she finally heard him speak: "Is there anything else that's bothering you? I'll go call the doctor."
She opened her mouth and said a few words with great difficulty, her voice very soft. She didn't know if Zhou Cheng heard her, but then she saw him turn around and walk away.
At the same time, another mechanical voice rang in Qiao Nansheng's mind.

This is... Xiao Ai?
Was the voice in her dream that claimed to be the system not just a dream, but actually real?
Qiao Nansheng looked dazed for a moment.
Xiao Ai appeared in her dream while she was in a coma.
After overhearing Zhou Cheng's conversation with the doctor in the morning, Qiao Nansheng fell into a deep sleep again and had a particularly strange dream—Qiao Nansheng watched her entire life from a third-person perspective.
Before she could even express her feelings, Xiao Ai appeared.
Xiao Ai told her that she didn't actually exist; she was just a villainous supporting character in a novel (The CEO's Exclusive Sweetheart), and the female lead was someone else.
In the novel, Qiao Nansheng is a vicious female supporting character who is utterly wicked and depraved, and who bullies the female lead at every turn.
Her appearance was merely to pave the way for the romantic relationship between the male and female protagonists.
So in the third year of their marriage, Qiao Nansheng, who was constantly courting death, was sent to a mental hospital by the male protagonist of the novel, who is also her current husband, Zhou Cheng. There, she was tortured and driven insane by other real mental patients, and finally died suddenly from a myocardial infarction caused by hallucinations.
Qiao Nansheng didn't believe it. How could someone who valued her life so much do such a thing for a man?
She did like Zhou Cheng, especially his face, but her liking wasn't deep enough to make her do something immoral for him.
