I thought that launching a new book would be like consummating a marriage, the more times you do it, the calmer you become.

  In fact, if every time you enter the bridal chamber, you see a fresh and beautiful face, it will also be exciting. So, this metaphor is fundamentally wrong.

  Although the previous works have been put on shelves many times, it has been more than four years and several months since the last new book was put on shelves. Even if I entered the bridal chamber, I almost forgot what the bridal chamber tastes like.

  At the same time, I also experienced some twists and turns in my career, so this time when the new book is on the shelves, I have mixed feelings of excitement and nervousness.

  Why is there a sense of unease in ones mood? Its actually easy to understand, just like when entering the bridal chamber, excitement aside, theres still worry about whether or not you can satisfy your partner.

  Whether a web article is popular among readers and can get positive reviews, subscription is the most solid data.

  Its more common to joke with others that you have a kind of sorrow from getting fake coins; in fact, there is another kind of sorrow which is seeing sisters all being given attention.

  Alright, now my egg-aching sorrow belongs to the latter.

  Because of the transfer to Hengyan for development, I also transformed and wrote a full free "Xiao Chen" before, for almost two and a half years, I didnt seriously think about how many people would be willing to pay to subscribe to my work. So now I need to use subscription numbers to check myself, and at the same time, I need to have good subscription numbers to affirm and encourage myself.

  Right! I need something to affirm myself and encourage me to keep writing!

  Started writing online in 2005 and completely put down other work in 2008 to stay at home as a free writer.

  Freelance writers seem to be carefree and have the freedom to arrange their time at will, but after four years of persistence, with an average output of 6,000 words per day, they have undergone tremendous physical and mental torture.

  My typing speed is not fast, each chapter takes about three hours to write, two chapters a day, and the total typing time is only six hours. In fact, after concentrating on writing a chapter, I will have waist and back pain, nervous tension, and a feeling of being unable to continue, so I need to take a break before continuing to write the next chapter. If I cant catch my breath, Ill stop updating.

  For others, a job may only take a few days, weeks, or at most a few months to complete, and after completion, they can finally take a breather. But for me, writing a book is often a two-year cycle, which means I have to persist in this work for two years without slackening, even if I occasionally take a break, my mind is still thinking about the story characters and plot.

  Typing is still an interesting thing for me.

  The sage Confucius said it well: behind every beautiful woman, there is a man who has worked himself to the point of vomiting.

  All beautiful women are like this, let alone typing?

  Whenever Im exhausted and feel like smashing my laptop, the driving force that keeps me writing is the affirmation and encouragement from my brothers.

  Encouragement and affirmation are not intangible, every time I see the book review area having a heated discussion about the plot of the story, the fate of the characters, I always float in the air above the book review area with a sneaky joy.

  Some people doubt that Im lazy and arrogant, but seeing brothers standing up for me, my tired and ashamed soul wants to fly down and give you two a big kiss. In fact, even without a kiss, you must be able to feel my gratitude for your understanding and support.

  Hongpao Shouwangs custom, Xima Qi Mo, Ji Ba, Huo Huos wolf, still sfd, dogod, Golden Miracle real, Zhao Hu Shi, Separate melancholy, Night deep and more brothers I remember in my heart, since the new book was uploaded, they have been enthusiastic about it, also making me grateful.

  To me, this is affirmation, encouragement, a clear feeling that my work can bring you joy, happiness, and approval...

  For someone who sits in front of a computer for a long time, this feeling is very much needed. The more real and specific the feeling is, the more motivation and enthusiasm there is to keep going.

  So I hope you subscribe.

  Okay, the above is both lyrical and bitter. Since the climax of Shen Huis return to Beijing has passed, the plot needs to go down for a while before going up again. My writing state has also been somewhat declining during this period. Unfortunately, I didnt prepare any drafts for the upcoming release.

  I would like to ask everyone for their support and subscription, rather than bursting with excitement as a form of expression. Its really a shameful thing, but all I can say here is that after this book goes live, the update speed wont be very fast, there wont always be bursts, but I will write with heart.
