Chapter 596: April Burst Update! Monthly Ticket Lottery

April Burst Update! Monthly Ticket Lottery

April Burst Update! Monthly Ticket Lottery~

I.

Throughout April, I will maintain double daily updates, with a minimum of 8,000 words; once readers get used to this writing intensity, I will gradually increase the word count to 10,000.

Additionally.

At midnight, there will be an extra chapter featuring Zhusheng, uploaded as a monthly ticket bonus; those who wish to read it must save one of their initial monthly tickets and cast it on the chapter page to unlock it.

However, if you don't unlock it, that's fine—I'll also post the content in the reader circle a few days later, where you can find it by clicking "Author's Note."

Monthly Ticket Lottery!

The usual monthly lottery event at the start of each month.

I've contacted a custom brooch manufacturer to produce a batch of brooches featuring the female lead's portrait as prizes.

The same portrait visible on the character cards.

【Participation Period】: April 1–April 7, exactly seven days.

【How to Participate】: Simply cast a monthly ticket to enter.

【Prize Quantity】: One set of three female lead brooches, valued at 50 yuan; total of 100 sets.

【Lottery Method】: Randomly draw 100 numbers based on monthly ticket receipt serial numbers; readers corresponding to those numbers win.

(Detailed instructions on how to check if you've won will be provided in the lottery announcement on the 8th.)

III.

Previously, on one hand, maintaining 10,000 words daily was exhausting, and after reaching ten thousand subscribers, I became complacent; on the other hand, I was bogged down by numerous trivial matters.

Especially before the New Year, when I returned home, I originally planned to adjust my circadian rhythm and perhaps write a bit more.

But before I even arrived home, my mother sent a message saying my grandfather had passed away.

My father, due to illness, was bedridden and unable to get up.

So, many of the funeral procedures had to be handled by me, as his grandson.

I've long suffered from lower back issues due to prolonged sitting, and funeral rituals involve many steps, including night vigils; during that time, my back felt like it was breaking down.

Honestly, when I heard the news of my grandfather's death, my spirit went numb—it felt like something had happened, yet nothing had happened at all.

Even when I arrived at my grandfather's house and saw him lying on the bed, I felt little emotional impact.

It wasn't until my mother took me to sort through his belongings, pulling out item after item, that it struck me.

We kept going until we found his wallet, filled with many meaningful keepsakes.

When my mother pulled one out, she called me over and said, "Look at this—it's a photo of you as a child."

It was a one-inch photo, likely taken when I was in elementary school or kindergarten.

Red background.

I recall my mother also had a similar one-inch photo.

In that moment, it felt as if a nerve inside me had suddenly snapped.

I sat on the living room chair, holding that photo for a long time, and images of my grandfather pulling it out to look at it flashed through my mind.

I'm a solitary person—I rarely visited my grandfather's home, and he rarely called me.

As I looked at the photo, I thought: he probably didn't not miss me—he just didn't want to disturb me, and when he missed me, he'd take out this photo to look at it.

Now, this photo stays in the pocket of my coat, as my grandfather's talisman left for me.

After enduring that period, in March I made plans with friends to move from Chongqing to Guangzhou.

First, go to Guangzhou to look for housing, then return to Chongqing to move.

The entire process was very troublesome.

Normally, with 24 hours in a day, writing just 4,000 words shouldn't be exhausting at all.

But how to put it?

Due to my suboptimal health, I only have a few hours each day when my mental state is truly good.

I hate writing when I'm mentally foggy.

So before writing, I must first sleep through my drowsiness—right after waking up is when I'm most alert.

But because of so many trivial matters, I often couldn't use my peak mental hours for writing.

As a result, writing 4,000 words every day became a slow, grueling process.

Now that I've moved, everything is packed and settled, and no other distractions remain, I can confidently promise my readers: I will write 10,000 words daily.

Now, every morning after waking, I write one chapter during my most alert time.

Then, after lunch, I nap while still feeling sleepy from the meal; after waking in the afternoon, I write another chapter while still mentally sharp.

This is exactly how I can achieve 10,000 words daily.

After finishing, I spend time organizing the outline, detailed outline, and chapter outline; by then, it's around ten p. m., and I must go to bed.

——————————

Conclusion,

In short, this April, I will devote myself entirely to writing.

In fact, I've already resumed double updates these past few days.

I hope everyone will continue to support me.

The current plot is nearing the Gaokao; with 10,000 words daily, I should finish all the high school content this month.

Please support me with monthly votes~

In April, I'm going to live my second life!

That's all.

Mi Zhi Ji thanks you~
