What Shen Qingwu is best at is keeping accounts.
In the autumn of the 16th year of Jian'an, she was bound by something called a "karma contract". Mission: Rescue Zhenyuan General Xiao Yan three times. Reward: Stay alive.
She did the math - if you save him, you will gain a life; if you don't save him, you will lose a life. Not difficult to calculate.
So she blocked his arrows, detoxified him, and finally dug him out from the corpse-strewn battlefield, carrying him desperately for thirty miles. After three rescues,
As a result, a new task of "karma" came: reject his marriage proposal three times. Remuneration: 10,000 taels.
For the first time, she said, "A minister is not worthy of a general." He didn't believe it. The second time, she said, "Xiao Yan, I won't marry you." He was silent. The third time, she said, "I haven't figured out my heart yet." He waits.
After three rejections, the banknote was obtained. But I had the money in my hand, but my heart felt empty.
Later he finally stole the ledger. After flipping through the pages, he pointed to the small accounts that the contract did not ask her to save, and asked her: "The assassination in Dongshi, the splashing of water in West Street - what about these? Why did you remember them too?"
She couldn't answer.
He closed the account book and looked at her: "Were you really forced to save me those three times?"
She was silent for a long time.
Then he turned to the last page of the account book and wrote a new line:
"Someone has been chasing me for a year. My books are old and my heart is broken. To be charged: for the rest of my life, I will pay in installments."
In his two lifetimes, Shen Qingwu made a miscalculation for the first time.
Intention: When saving you becomes a task, loving you becomes an exception - the account book can clear the debt, but not the heartbeat.
