The Intrepid News Gatherer

[A clever, resilient, and brave news gatherer × a frail, restrained, and devoted musician]

Song Ping'an nearly starved to death in the apocalypse. Then, in a single moment, she was reborn in the Great Yu Dynasty, only to freeze to death in the snow after her cousin falsely accused her, just as she opened her eyes. She lamented her wretched fate: in her previous life she starved to death, and after living again, she froze to death...

Fortunately, the System saved her, but at the cost of 50,000 points. If she could not repay the debt within a year, the System would take her life back.

So Song Ping'an began working for the System, becoming a news gatherer tasked with collecting stories from ordinary people across Yu. Each story was worth 2,000 points.

While gathering news at a wealthy merchant's residence and eavesdropping through the walls, Song Ping'an heard a servant say that a blind man who could not speak was locked away in an abandoned room.

When she first met Li Shang, Song Ping'an thought he really was just as the servant had described: a blind man who hardly spoke.

Later, when Song Ping'an and Li Shang met again, he had become a rising star among Yu City's musicians, and her mission was to interview him.

Shen Mo watched his young master insist on completing the interview despite catching a chill and complained, "Who said my young master doesn't like to talk? He talks more than anyone!"

Li Shang had plenty of connections, so Song Ping'an decided to stick close to him in hopes of completing her interview assignments and paying off her points debt.

Song Ping'an: "Help me interview famous people, and I'll grant one of your wishes."

Li Shang: "I..."

At first, he kept his love buried in his heart. He did not dare hope to become the one Song Ping'an loved. All he wanted was for her to stay safe and well, year after year, just like her name.

But later, he grew greedy. He drew her into his arms. "Year after year, I have more than just the moon by my side. I have the girl who brought the moon to me..."

Message: The world is full of suffering. Let the worthy rise up and put an end to it.
