Background

Zhang Shou was a student caught in the Aberrant Insect Incident at Silver City No. 3 Middle School. Yu Xian protected him and Chen Ling from attacking tentacles, and Zhang later followed Yu Xian into the devastated sixth-floor classroom to search for survivors. He assisted in treating wounded classmates during the rescue. 6 8

After the incident, Zhang found a glowing Forbidden Fruit in his toilet and impulsively consumed it. He wished for a system, expecting a Sword Immortal System, but instead awakened the Super Nanny System. 17

Qilin’s examination initially concluded that the system’s energy rapidly consumed his lifespan, leaving him with an estimated week to live. Devastated, Zhang withdrew briefly before healing a burned child at a restaurant. The experience reminded him that, during the school disaster, he had wanted to become a doctor rather than a sword immortal. 18 19

He opened a free public clinic outside a vegetable market and spent the day curing hundreds of patients, including people with terminal illnesses, disabilities, and genetic conditions. His body aged from adolescence into frail old age as he worked, and he apparently died after attempting to treat one final patient. 19

His passive ability immediately revived him. A later report identified his condition as the Seven-Day Life-and-Death Cycle: his body naturally ages from seventeen to seventy-seven over seven days, while his first death each day restores him to the condition recorded when his system activated. 20

Jin Sheng subsequently recruited Zhang into Qilin’s Evil-Slaying Squad as its healer, assigning him the codename Dead Doctor and rank 6340. 20

Personality

Zhang Shou is impulsive, expressive, and easily excited. He consumes a mysterious Forbidden Fruit without consulting anyone, initially celebrates the apparent “three lives” granted by his system, and is deeply disappointed that his system is nanny-themed rather than sword-immortal-themed. 17

Beneath his humor, he is compassionate and courageous. Learning that his abilities might kill him forces him to confront his fear of death, but he chooses to spend his remaining time healing strangers because he believes his life should have meaning. 19

He remains practical in Qilin service, showing enthusiasm for rewards such as a storage ring and for officially sanctioned nighttime patrols. He also worries intensely about allies, particularly when Gong Qian considers exposing herself to Deimos’s poison again. 22 49

Abilities & Skills

Super Nanny System

A Forbidden Fruit-derived system that grants Zhang healing and survival abilities. Its initial status screen identifies him as a Super Nanny. 17

• Provides Healing Spell, Healing Touch, and a resurrection-type passive ability.
• Has a data-based attribute panel whose values can improve through training. 21
• Its power accelerates Zhang’s Seven-Day Life-and-Death Cycle when used. 20
• Zhang’s physical body does not become stronger through ordinary training. 21

Healing Spell

A stamina-consuming healing skill that forms a ball of green light.

• Healed a child’s severe scald almost instantly. 19
• Used publicly to treat terminal illnesses, chronic diseases, disabilities, and genetic conditions. 19
• Repeated use rapidly advances his bodily aging cycle. 19 20

Healing Touch

A summoned green, tentacle-like healing construct capable of removing abnormal conditions.

• Can heal injuries, cure illnesses, and detoxify targets. 17

Healers Do Not Die from Injury or Illness

A passive resurrection ability that records Zhang’s condition from the moment his system activated.

• His first death each day restores his body to the recorded peak condition. 20
• The original status display described further survival effects for a second and third fatal injury, but Qilin warns that repeated deaths have a limit. 17 20
• Dying four times consecutively in a day may be fatal. 20
• His revival reset enables him to restore his youth after advancing through the cycle or exhausting himself with healing. 20 48
