When the book came to a close, Lao Shao felt a mix of emotions.

There was some reluctance, some sadness, some resentment, but more than anything, there was conflict.

I am very clear that the book I wrote will never be the kind of book that can reach a wide audience.

Whether it's Wen He's character design, the plot development, or the target audience of the entire book, it's ultimately not the general public, but a small group of lonely patients who are not particularly noticeable in life and whose inner world is not understood by others.

But I really hope that this book can be seen by more people and that they can learn about this group.

Under normal circumstances, they are no different from ordinary people.

Just like before, laughing and joking, just like before.

But it is only when the night is deep and quiet that one's truest self is revealed.

Often, they appear carefree and nonchalant, as if they don't care about anything.

In reality, she is extremely sensitive. If someone makes a joke at her expense, she might feel silently miserable for a very long time.

Inferiority complex, social anxiety, cowardice, kindness, honesty, fear of resistance, fear of fighting for something...

I believe there are quite a few people like this in the world.

But such people are really not likable.

Especially when these things are applied to the identity of the "protagonist".

Wen He is that kind of person.

No one likes to project themselves into the body of a cowardly person who is oppressed and dares not fight back.

So when I decided to write about Wen He, I knew that he was destined not to be accepted by many people, and that he was destined to be cursed as a coward by countless people.

As a seasoned author who has written books for several years, Lao Shao is certainly aware that such a character design is full of flaws.

But I think this is the protagonist in my mind.

He must possess a unique personal charm that other protagonists cannot have.

He is definitely not the kind of protagonist who will be forgotten as soon as you finish reading the book.

Just like Xiuyuan.

Deep in darkness, yet concerned for all living beings.

Wen He is a very greedy person.

I want to help people with depression, people who are disillusioned with life, and girls who have experienced misfortune...

He wanted to save all the suffering in the world.

Wen He is a very selfish person.

Selfishly ignoring everyone's advice, they stubbornly pursue their ideals.

From beginning to end, his belief never wavered, and he was selfish to the extreme.

He wanted to use his remaining life to make as many people as possible feel warmth.

Some people say, "I read novels to relax, not to suffer. Real life is already hard enough, and reading a novel has to torture me too."

I would like to say that novels are also a form of art.

Even the worst online novels shouldn't be all the same kind of feel-good stories.

Words should be diverse and vibrant.

If only pure wish-fulfillment stories remained in the world, it would be a disaster.

Just like sweet things are delicious, but you'll get tired of them if you eat too much of them.

Sometimes I crave something sour, salty, or spicy...

In conclusion.

The ending of this book may not be considered particularly beautiful or amazing.

But I believe that anyone who listened to the songs the whole way without skipping chapters shouldn't be too disappointed.

This book is not very long. Among the millions of words in online novels, 400,000 words is still considered the early to mid-stage of most novels.

What I want to say is that if possible, please calm down, choose a night, or a drizzly night, put on your headphones, listen to music, and have an immersive reading experience. That feeling must be wonderful.

Finally, a huge thank you to all the readers who have been following along!

The book's performance was rather poor, but it was the readers who kept following the updates that motivated me to continue.

Especially to those who sent gifts, without your support, this book might have been abandoned halfway through.

After all, for a full-time author, writing books is the only source of income.

Without income, all ideals, plots, and character designs are just empty talk.

Here, Lao Shao would like to wish everyone a Happy New Year in advance, and wish you all the best and that all your wishes come true in the new year.

If you like this book, please give it a thumbs up, share it when you're looking for something to read, write a review, or send some free gifts. These things will make me happy for a long, long time.
