The man and Ho Qing naturally ended up together.
Gu Shengyin watched coldly from the sidelines, it seemed this time Ho Qing was truly smitten.
Being with this man, she no longer went to nightclubs or such places, sending away all her paramours, she seemed just like an ordinary woman, staying by the manâs side.
The two lived a very happy life for a while.
For some reason, watching this version of Ho Qing, Gu Shengyin actually felt a sense of reliefâit was a good thing she could finally settle down and stop making trouble.
But one day, Gu Shengyin saw the manâs name in her record book.
Generally speaking, the Grim Reaper rarely takes the initiative to flip through the record book unless a name lights up.
And when a name lights up, it means that the person is about to step into death.
The manâs name hadnât lit up yet, but it appeared within the first three pages of Gu Shengyinâs record book.
Usually, the Grim Reaper wouldnât look at the names on these pages because itâs troublesome.
Anyway, all they need to do is guide those whose names light up to the Underworld; those on the first three pages, who are soon to die in order, arenât their responsibility.
Gu Shengyin only looked at it because of the systemâs reminder, and then she found the manâs name.
He was diagnosed with cancer, terminal stage, with only a bit more than four months of life left.
Gu Shengyin almost immediately thought of Ho Qingâs possible reaction.
That crazy woman, wouldnât do something rash, would she?
Her premonition was spot on.
The man said he felt unwell, thought it was a minor issue, but under Ho Qingâs insistence to get checked at the hospital, the result left them in despair.
The hospital that examined the man said there was no way, the cancer cells had spread, they couldnât treat it.
Ho Qing didnât believe it, she took the man to the most famous hospitals in the country, but the result was the same.
Next was abroad, but with such an illness, even the best hospitals, the best doctors, had no solution.
Gu Shengyin was inexplicably worried, having observed Ho Qingâs character for so long, she understood it well.
If this woman truly goes mad, she becomes terrifying.
After confirming there was no solution, the two returned home.
Perhaps it was Ho Qingâs dedication during this time that earned her some return, as the man developed quite good feelings for her too.
Seeing her like this, he comforted her: "Itâs alright, Qingqing, Iâm actually quite fine now..."
Ho Qing quietly rested her head on the manâs chest.
I wonât let you die, no matter what the cost.
Since technology canât help, then use extraordinary measures!
Ho Qing started visiting famous feng shui and occult masters in the hall, to see if she could seek a way to extend his life.
Most masters, seeing the lifetime of accumulated sins on her, didnât even want to glance at herâpeople like them, who knew a lot about certain matters, most feared getting involved with karmic sins.
Some were tempted by the price Ho Qing offered, but after seeing the manâs condition, they shook their heads.
An old master said to Ho Qing: "Youâre too late. If you had discovered it earlier, I couldâve found a way to extend his life. But now, his name is already on the Grim Reaperâs record book, thereâs no way left."
"Grim Reaper?" Ho Qing asked in confusion.
Isnât that a deity from mythological tales, does it truly exist?
