Tomorrow at noon!

This book is going live.

A mix of emotions.

Over the past year, I felt like I’d lost my mind…

I stubbornly kept writing xianxia, only to flop so hard even my parents wouldn’t recognize me—I didn’t even pass the first recommendation round.

The latest chapter had only single-digit readers, besides me and my wife…

I was stunned!

From 2014 until now, ten years, I’ve never been this badly flopped.

After returning to urban fiction again…

Actually…

I’ve been anxious all along.

Almost every day I worried, asking my editor how the retention rate was…

To be honest…

I’ve lost all confidence.

Fortunately, the data was decent—I pushed through one hurdle after another, and the public backend retention for the latest chapter hit nearly five thousand in twenty-four hours, and I even made it onto the Three Rivers list…

…

Reality slapped me hard—seeing this data, I was happy, proof I could still earn my bread.

But it also constantly reminded me: don’t fall into literary pretentiousness again!

Write feel-good fiction!

Write feel-good fiction!

Write feel-good fiction that makes readers smile, with as much internal logic as possible!

Don’t suddenly get a brain fart and throw in some stupid plot!

…

Yes, the purpose of this book is pure feel-good fiction.

I’m trying hard to learn, to write feel-good fiction that helps readers pass the time when they’re bored, or just makes them smile!

No more bitter grievances, no more artificial melodrama…

It’s damn well a fun, movie-like feel-good story!

…

I love you all!

Really!

After I started this book, I saw many familiar faces…

Right now, I don’t know how to describe the complex emotions inside me…

My old friends have returned.

It’s great to have you back!

I’ll work hard to update regularly, finish this properly, and from now on, reform myself and write with dedication!

Tomorrow I’ll release three or more chapters!

…

If you think my writing is even slightly worth your time…
