Of course, it’ll be there, but this isn’t a romance novel; the main thread must remain clear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So I decided to put it in the epilogue (lying flat).\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But a mishap occurred—I shouldn’t push myself too hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yesterday, I stayed up until 5:30 a.m. writing Chapter Two, then a bug appeared: in the dialogue between the Old Fate Lord and Li Guanyi, Li Guanyi said, “After this matter, the wedding,” but the subject here is [proclaimed to all under heaven], and many readers seem to have read it as “ten years.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The events over ten years aren’t that [one] matter (the exhausted, sleep-deprived author flipped the table).\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How many things would that involve?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could Li Guanyi do such a thing? Besides, if things go this way, the fishing enthusiast would rush back in a panic, team up with his aunt, knock Emperor Qin unconscious, and administer family discipline—then Master Wen Qingyu’s compound anesthetic would have to be deployed too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But looking back, I realize the subject was unclear—indeed, one shouldn’t stay up too late; chronic sleep deprivation leads to basic mistakes. So I’ve added a clearer subject—now there should be no misunderstanding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This book was written from April 9, 2024, to today, January 15, 2025—roughly nine and a half months, 3.25 million characters.
