A Few Answers

A few answers.

Regarding the relationship between the protagonist and Liu Yinuo: it won’t head straight into extremes. I want to show the process of the protagonist gradually opening up to Liu Yinuo, and then, due to some force majeure, that relationship slides into the abyss. So, sorry to those readers—if this part feels unsatisfying, that’s my fault. But the development later won’t be what you expect.

As for the worldbuilding, please don’t directly apply real-world logic to this story. Some aspects are tweaked to serve the plot. If that bothers you, it’s on me.

After going paid, there will be a burst update of 20,000 words.

A bounty system will also be activated after going paid, just as motivation for myself. The rule is: for every 2,500 Fire Tickets and 25 Monthly Tickets, I’ll add one chapter—valid until the end of this month. Two fixed chapters a day, with at most two extra. Fixed updates won’t offset owed chapters. My ability is limited—please forgive me. I’ll pay off any backlog as much as I can, and I won’t renege; even if this month ends, I’ll remember to settle up. (Though I don’t think there’ll be that many extra chapters anyway.)

As the story progresses, everything you want to see will appear. For example, scenes like being locked in a dark room, the crematorium of chasing a runaway wife, and even the endings of certain unlikable characters. So don’t rush—they’ll all come.

To the readers who’ve made it this far: I wish you a smooth life and happiness every day. Boundless blessings and a long life.
