I felt as though I was drowning, enveloped by an icy grip, with only one figure piercing through the darkness—a person I truly loved. "HOW COULD YOU DO THIS?!" I screamed, the name echoing in my mind: Lian Xue.
Suddenly, I jolted awake, disoriented, in a hospital bed. A nurse approached, urging me to calm down and assuring me I was okay. But then, the reality hit me like a cold wave. "What day is it today?" I asked, my voice trembling.
"It's the year 2980," she replied, her expression serious. I thought she was joking at first, but her tone told me otherwise. My shock only deepened as I asked, "Do you know someone named Lian Xue?"
She nodded, "Lian Xue is currently the head of the Xue family, the largest conglomerate in all of China."
As the nurse was called away to attend to another patient, a thought struck me. I had spent countless hours lost in novels, and suddenly, I felt an urge to call forth something greater. "System Open," I commanded, my heart racing with anticipation.
