In the twilight between life and death, where time stands still and silence reigns, a lone Reaper walks the Veil-a liminal realm where souls linger before crossing to the beyond. This Reaper is no ordinary harvester of souls. Known only as Nyx, she bears the ancient burden of memory. Her task is not just to collect the dead, but to bear witness to who they were.
In Whispers of the Reaper, Nyx becomes the narrator of forgotten lives, unraveling the stories of the souls she guides-stories of love and betrayal, sacrifice and regret, triumph and despair. Each chapter is a tale from a different soul: a war hero haunted by choices, a mother who died to save her child, a traitor who was once a savior, a poet whose words never reached the world.
As Nyx listens, she offers no judgment, only remembrance. With every soul she guides, pieces of her own forgotten past start to emerge, hinting that she, too, was once human-and perhaps still is. The boundary between reaper and reaped begins to blur as Nyx uncovers a mystery buried deep within the souls she ferries and the truth of her own existence.
Poetic, haunting, and intimate, Whispers of the Reaper is a meditation on mortality, memory, and the stories we leave behind. Through the eyes of death, it reveals what it truly means to live.
Yao Yao was born as a little glutton, her appetite rivaling half a mountain.
One day, the old Taoist who adopted her passed away in meditation. At just three and a half years old, Yao Yao had no choice but to pack her small bag and head down the mountain to find her senior master.
By chance, she ended up saving a wealthy tycoon from a car accident and became the adopted daughter of the prestigious Gu family.
At first, everyone in the Gu family opposed the idea.
The Gu family matriarch tapped her cane and said, "Raising someone else's child? Careful not to end up with an ingrate!"
The Gu family head, Gu Xuesong, said indifferently, "Picked up halfway? Who knows what kind of trouble she might bring."
From the eldest to the seventh brother, their response was unanimous: "We don't want a sister!"
But this little girl, rejected by the entire family, proved herself after joining the Gu household.
She resolved the business partner issues that even Gu Xuesong couldn't handle, bringing in so many contracts that they couldn't sign them all.
She cured the Gu matriarch's chronic leg pain, to the point where the old lady was now striding around effortlessly...
Even the seven Gu brothers, one after another, benefited greatly from her presence.
It was only then that the Gu family realized they had brought home a treasure.
From then on, the Gu family's attitude completely changed.
The Gu matriarch: "Yao Yao, do you want some cream puffs? Grandma will buy them for you."
Gu Xuesong: "Yao Yao, do you want a private jet? Daddy will have one sent over to take you for a ride."
The Gu brothers: "Yao Yao, do you want..."
And so, Yao Yao secured herself a meal ticket-one of the highest quality!
