Chapter 1141

"It's decent enough, but if written from another angle, Xingxu Society might be even more interesting."

Han Feng smiled faintly and briefly outlined the various web novel tropes he'd seen in his past life.

For example, showing off and humiliating powerful figures in the original story, or engaging in intimate interactions with the female lead.

As for pairing Long Nü and Yang Guo together…

That's absolutely out of the question!

From a power-fantasy perspective, it's downright poisonous.

"I… I didn't know you could do that?!"

Hearing this, Customer Xingqiu stared in shock.

Is the boss's suggestion that satisfying?

From most readers' perspectives, it's definitely satisfying! "140"

But it seriously conflicts with her own ideals of justice and chivalry.

She's not that kind of person!

Not to mention she greatly admires Yang Guo.

Asking her to write the protagonist taking in Long Nü is simply too hard to put pen to paper.

"So you must clearly consider your purpose in writing novels.

If your goal is to reach more readers, it's better to respect their tastes—don't disgust them.

If you're writing purely for personal preference, then write whatever you like."

Han Feng sipped his tea and smiled calmly.

In a certain sense, novels are commodities.

To sell well, they must be well received by readers!

At the very least, they must not provoke their revulsion!

The same logic applies to writing out of love!

Even if you don't care about money and simply want to share your own creations,

others may not like your ideas at all!

Under such circumstances, even if it's free, readers likely won't bother reading.

Customer Xingqiu understood this principle.

His previous book had faced exactly this situation in Liyue.

"Sigh, I'll think it over carefully when I get back!"

Customer Xingqiu rubbed his head, looking deeply conflicted.

Writing novels is too hard!

No,

it's trying to write what you want while making others enjoy it—that's truly difficult!

Shaking her head, she stopped thinking about it and placed two hundred thousand Mora on the counter.

"Boss, this is for me and Zhongyun. Eh? Where's Zhongyun?"

Only then did Customer Xingqiu realize she was alone at the counter.

Zhongyun wasn't there at all.

"Over there!"

After taking the Mora, Han Feng pointed to a spot inside the shop.

Customer Xingqiu followed his gaze and saw Zhongyun talking with a white-haired woman.

Judging by their expressions, they were having a pleasant conversation.

"Oh? Zhongyun's got some guts—he's already acting without saying a word!"

Seeing this, Customer Xingqiu burst into laughter.

Without further thought, she took back her manuscript and walked over there.

Arriving beside Zhongyun, she draped an arm over his neck and teased him.

"Just a moment, and you're chatting with another woman while turning your back on me?"

"What's going on here?"

Seeing a beautiful girl beside her nephew, especially in such an intimate manner,

Customer Shenhe instantly became intrigued.

These days of human life had given her some insight into such matters.

Could it be that her family was about to flourish?

At the same time, Seeing Ganyu beside her also turned to look curiously.

As Liyue's secretary, she knew Zhongyun well.

Who would've thought he'd finally find someone?

And here she was, thousands of years old, still alone…

If not for the manga to pass the time, she might have remained buried in work forever.

"N…no, she's Customer Xingqiu—don't get the wrong idea!"

Noticing the strange expressions on the two women's faces, Zhongyun panicked.

If they were strangers, it wouldn't matter,

but these were all people he knew!

And one was his aunt, the other Liyue's Seven Stars' secretary!

If word ever reached his parents, it really would be the end!

"Xingqiu?"

Shenhe frowned slightly.

Having lived long in the mountains and wilds, she knew very few people.

But Xingqiu could absolutely count as one of them.

And what's more, he was one she found rather annoying!

Because she'd heard he often bullied her own nephew.

At first she'd assumed the other party was a man — never in her wildest dreams had she expected a girl!

Hiss!

If that was the case, then she'd have to revise her attitude.

Seeing Ganyu, upon hearing the name, also took a careful look. 4.5

That face, that build — apart from a set of feminine clothes and a head of long hair,

she was simply identical to Xingqiu.

"Could it be that this second young master of the Feiyunshang Society is actually a girl at heart?

Or is he a man disguised as a woman?"

Thinking of these two possibilities, Seeing Ganyu's gaze instantly turned strange.

Either way, it was absolutely shocking.

Especially the latter!

The second young master of the Liyue Commerce Society openly cross-dressing as a woman…

Hiss!

Truly, strange things happen every year — this year especially so!

Seeing Ganyu felt she had broadened her horizons quite a bit!.
