Sui Zhenxing had been feeling quite troubled lately. Her Girls’ Love manga, The Ghost Bride and the Empress, had become a massive viral sensation across the internet, but then the unthinkable happened: she hit a severe case of writer’s block. As the comment sections overflowed with a mix of desperate pleas for updates and cynical doubts, she decided that while escaping reality might be shameful, it was certainly effective. She immersed herself in a groundbreaking, synesthetic virtual reality game to find some peace.
Within this digital world, she meticulously crafted her ideal partner: a gentle, elegant voice actress named Wen Shuyi. Her virtual girlfriend was stunning, thoughtful, and endearingly clingy, though she harbored one singular flaw—a constant, lingering fear that Sui Zhenxing would eventually leave her. Sui Zhenxing didn’t give it much thought at the time because she reasoned that nobody would ever truly sacrifice their life for a collection of virtual data.
Everything changed when the game introduced a limited-time, heavily discounted “Inner Voice” feature. It was a premium function that allowed players to hear a character’s true thoughts. After some hesitation, she finally decided to pay the steep price. In an instant, Wen Shuyi’s soft, desperate internal monologue flooded her mind.
“Please, don’t leave me…”
“A world without you is even more hopeless than the reality of this hospital ward.”
Sui Zhenxing was stunned. She found herself questioning why a virtual girlfriend would have any concept of a real-world hospital. Meanwhile, back in the physical world, Wen Shuyi finally awoke from a prolonged coma. The very first words she uttered were a single, urgent request: “Please, tell me… where is Sui Zhenxing?”
