Shen Ci died. He died in a back alley on a rainy night. The back of his head hit the corner of the steps, and his blood mixed with rainwater flowed into the drain.
When he opened his eyes again, a voice without warmth was reporting the debt: "Nine soul seals are used as salary to help others turn against their fate. Every time you betray your life, you will lose your soul. Once the nine seals are burned, your soul will fly away."
She signed. She is a businessman who started from scratch, and she knows the best about equal exchange in her life - this transaction is clearly priced, and there is no loss.
But the system didn't tell her that in every world there was a man with a purple lifeline.
He was crushed into a lonely figure by fate, standing on the edge of darkness. He was the only anchor point that could be reversed in this world, and he was also an inexplicably familiar person deep in her soul core. To save him would burn her soul; if she didn't save him, the world would fall back on its original track, and she wouldn't even be able to retain the memory related to him.
She saved life after life and burned life after life. At the end of each life, the memory is sealed, leaving only an indescribable throbbing. He didn't remember her, but he instinctively guarded her every life when his lifeline was about to be cut off.
Until she found out the truth: the light on the night of her first death, the system's deliberate arrangements in each life, and his unconditional protection all pointed to an old covenant - with her life as the contract and his soul as the note, the signer was none other than himself.
She saved him nine lives.
And she may be just the interest on his ledger from beginning to end.
——
In this life, she decided to find out what was written in the Old Testament before saving him - whether it was debt or love.
