I once considered writing during university, but on one hand, my major was demanding, and on the other, two roommates played games all night long—I was already lucky not to suffer from neurasthenia, let alone write.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t until the first semester of my senior year that I finally had the chance to return to Qidian and launch my first book.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it was followed by a string of setbacks: first, I didn’t understand Qidian’s rules, so my previous book only got a recommendation slot after 120,000 words, meaning it received almost no exposure before being hastily subscribed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Second, and most crucially, academics—I had just started classes when my book was subscribed; I needed to spend six hours daily attending lectures and completing assignments, not to mention frequent class meetings, lectures, and other hassles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This caused my previous book’s update volume to be extremely poor (this one won’t be like that), but I still wanted to finish it properly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So my daily routine then was: living in a rented apartment, getting up in the morning to bike to class, writing in the afternoon, and doing homework at night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was deep winter; I did everything alone, watching snow drift past the window, with only the cold wind as my companion—honestly, it was lonely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But fortunately, there was still the book.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then another blow came: because I kept ordering takeout, I was poisoned and rushed to the emergency room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Surgery and recovery took nearly a month; when I returned, all my readers had vanished—I’m truly sorry, I’m so sorry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then came this book—I started it during winter break.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hmm. How to put it? While writing, I fantasized about a sudden breakout, but it was just fantasy—I never believed it could actually happen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thank you again, for giving me at least a week of this dreamlike period, even if it’s only a week.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So far, this book has faced only two major setbacks: one was a plot issue, so I stayed up all night revising it—I’m deeply grateful to the readers who kept following and showed patience.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The second was encountering fellow writers stirring up negativity; since I’d never had success before, this was my first time facing such pressure, and later I learned only fellow writers would follow your work while daily cursing you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aside from these two setbacks, this book has been smooth sailing—it reached the coveted Sanjiang and Xiao Laba recommendations, making me so happy I didn’t want to wake up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sorry for rambling so much, but I truly can’t find words to describe how moved I am right now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I always feel I’m a failure—I’ve lived twenty-one years without success in love, friendship, or family; so far, only books have never let me down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I pour my heart into them, and they give me happiness in return.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m truly grateful for your support; my happiest moment each day is reading your comments and seeing your votes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whenever I see a reader say they’ve discovered a good book, I can be happy for at least ten minutes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thank you all—tomorrow night at 9 PM, if you’re able, please support with a first subscription and a monthly vote; just ten cents is enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thank you!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",827,"2026-06-19T22:18:43.340Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","3d7bc54749eff32dada889a277329e6d20cd5b9aa41472e6679645bf96d0db19","heir-to-the-kingdom-of-1-4-billion-citizens-chapter-77","heir-to-the-kingdom-of-1-4-billion-citizens-chapter-75",186,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fheir-to-the-kingdom-of-1-4-billion-citizens-cover.jpg"]
