Auspicious at the Sixth Hour

An ultra-powerful, ultra-rich, century-old beauty who takes life easy x a sweet, naive puppy who loves to overthink and convince himself

People say that everyone is born with seven emotions: joy, anger, sorrow, hatred, love, desire, and fear.

But there are people who aren't: spirit hunters.

They lack some of the seven emotions and survive by absorbing the obsessions people hold onto before they die. They call this process "spirit hunting." While they hunt, the living cannot approach them or even see them.

Su Yan was seen, and the person even called her "beautiful lady."

Looking again, she realized his soul was scattered, and he was practically on the brink of death. Seeing this, Su Yan gave him a hand, so his next life wouldn't be too painful.

She never expected that some time later, he would be not only full of life, but also able to order takeout.

Su Yan had lived for over a century and never met anyone like him. More importantly, she didn't know whether he still remembered seeing her.

When she learned he was looking for a roommate, Su Yan seized the opportunity to visit.

The man looked like some kind of gentle giant dog. His ears turned red as he spoke to her, but he firmly rejected her, saying the room listing had been a misunderstanding.

Su Yan: "..."

Luckily, they eventually did become roommates.

Their life together was uneventful, with three meals a day and little to disturb the peace. She investigated him for a while but found nothing. He seemed not to remember meeting her at all.

Su Yan could have put her mind at ease, but then she suddenly realized that she seemed to be growing attached to him. When she didn't see him for a long time, she actually missed him.

But she was supposed to have none of the seven emotions.

Le Yiming had never imagined that he would share a home with a woman.

She clearly wasn't short on money, but she still rented a place to live.

She was always so indifferent. Even when she witnessed a car accident, she remained expressionless. Yet she would shed tears for someone whose devotion had been betrayed.

She didn't seem to like anything in particular. Whatever he asked, she always said she didn't mind.

But even more surprising, he fell in love with her just as he learned he didn't have long to live.

"If we can never see each other again, I wish you six hours of auspiciousness, peace, and good fortune."

English poem on the cover:

"True love comes in moments of mutual recognition-when you see the abyss in me and i see the dawn in you."

"True love is born in the moment we recognize each other: you see the abyss in me, while I see the dawn in your eyes."

From Blue Nights by Joan Didion
