Yan Mo agreed to his request. After all, their mission was not about collecting ghosts, but simply to fulfill a task.
Afterwards he asked them how they met, how they fell in love, and their original plan.
Their encounter and falling in love turned out to be just like the gossip he'd previously heard. It started when he saw a play by Qin Qi, which led to a relentless pursuit.
Due to his family's disapproval, his original plan was to elope with Qin Qi to the south.
However, Qin Qi was sold to a theater troupe and the troupe did not let the actors leave, so she could not get away.
Therefore, they thought of a plan to fake death. During a nighttime performance, they would set a fire and pretend to burn to death while secretly escaping.
He was supposed to start the fire, but that night he was knocked out before he could, and when he woke up, he was told that Qin Qi had really burned to death on the stage.
