[Next novel coming soon]
After being suspended, Pei Yan went abroad to clear his head. During the trip, he met someone. As they were parting, he asked, "Can I get your contact information?"
"No." Song Ci's eyes were cold as she politely declined. "I'm actually a nun. The temple gave me a vacation, so I came abroad to have some fun. When I get back, I'll have to keep playing the wooden fish drum."
The next day, she left without saying goodbye.
All their friends noticed something strange: when Pei, who'd gone abroad to clear his head, came back, he'd left his soul behind.
*
He saw Song Ci again in a hospital corridor back home, as a gurney raced past them.
She knelt beside a patient on the brink of death. Those hands she'd claimed were for playing the wooden fish drum were now fighting the Reaper with all their might. Her white coat was drenched in scarlet blood, startling and dazzling.
Pei Yan knew his soul had come back.

One day, the supposedly woman-averse Mr. Pei started waiting outside the surgery department every other day. The rumors at the nurses' station kept multiplying, growing wilder by the minute.
Song Ci approached him against the wind. "What exactly are you after?"
"You. I'm pursuing you."
She kindly warned him, "I don't think you should be interested in me."
Pei Yan raised an eyebrow. "Why not?"
Knowing that her past could never measure up to him, Song Ci made up a lie to try to drive him away. "I'm in love with someone."
He shamelessly replied, "Perfect. I've never stolen someone else's partner before. I'd like to give it a try."
