Hypnosis isn't like what you see on TV, where someone swings a pocket watch in front of your eyes and you follow their every command; even revealing your bank account information to the hypnotist. It's not that magical.
Hypnosis is a process of guiding a person into a state of consciousness. It can be used to treat illnesses or take advantage of people. In her past life, Xiao Qian used her identity as a doctor to target Ni Jianren in prison, ultimately killing the scumbag.
The first thing to achieve is relaxation and concentration, with tone and speaking speed being very important. In her past life, Xiao Qian tried many times before finding the speaking speed that could help Zheng Xu concentrate, as he wasn't easily hypnotized.
