Gu Qingyue stayed in front of the Buddha for a thousand and one nights and appeared in person for 49 days.
The rules are simple: on the 10th day, the body begins to become transparent. Every time she remembers him, transparency pauses for a day. After nine hours are collected, the grace period is seven days. At the end of the 49th day, her soul was gone—unless she chose him on her own initiative.
Ran Deng said: The end of obsession is not to be remembered, but to be chosen.
On the first day, she glanced at him one more time. The red rope was hot, but he didn't know it.
On the 10th day, she looked back and saw him standing in the rain. His fingers regained their physical form for the first time.
On the 30th day, at the ancient snow mountain temple, after hearing the story from thousands of years ago, she did not say "I remembered it." What he said was: "Gu Qingyue, let's go down the mountain."
On the 44th day, the green lantern was burned. He began to dissipate.
On the 46th day, she bit her finger, wrote his name on the red string, and returned as a ghost.
On the 49th day, at dusk, she stood in front of him and looked at his almost transparent fingers.
She said: "In this life, I choose you."
The obsession contract was lifted, he opened his eyes, all memories were cleared, and he looked at the crying girl in front of him, wondering why she was crying.
"Who are you?"
"My name is Su Muran, you can call me A'ran."
He didn't remember, but he didn't let go of her hand.
Later someone asked what was the end of 49 days.
It was the return to zero. After she chose him, he forgot everything and started over from the first sight with her.
When the green lanterns filled the street corner, they met again.
This time, he walked towards her first.
Intention: The end point of obsession is not to be remembered, but to be chosen
