It's just a large range with small branches, it's all the same thing.

Bury Me at 21
[I am a novice in copywriting and my writing skills are rubbish. ]
It's really rare to see a novel with bad writing right from the start.
Luo Shiqin looked at the words on the copy of this book about a strange life, and for a moment she seemed to have a vision of the unruly appearance of the author from another dimension.
It seems that, unlike the protagonist Yang Yan, the life theme of this alien space author might be "I just wanna be bad, I just suck!"... a wannabe-bad style?
Quite novel.
Except for the warning of failure at the beginning, the writing style of the entire novel "Bury Me at 21" is different from most of the writings Luo Shiqin has seen.
[…This novel tells the story of a protagonist named Yang Yan from the age of 12 to 21. It has been serialized to more than 900 chapters. The whole text is free and written in the form of a diary. It is just a record and does not need to be collected.]
The author almost pulled the reader's ear and said earnestly, "I'm talking nonsense, you're just looking at it, we all have a bright future."
Luo Shiqin didn't understand and was shocked.
She then flipped through the pages, her eyes moving to the line of small print at the very bottom of the text.
[…In a life full of thorns, courage alone is not enough. In the end, I can only murmur the bitterness of life.]
This sentence...
It doesn't seem to be written in the author's voice.
Luo Shiqin turned her head and looked at the girl standing beside her with a gloomy expression.
Yang Yan also seemed to have been ostracized by his classmates when he was a student.
Her fingertips moved slightly, causing the small thundercloud to nest on top of Yang Yan's head. The same book title unfolded in front of Luo Shiqin's eyes, bringing her more than 600 chapters of content.
Luo Shiqin had a good memory and once again found the events that she had briefly flipped through before.
"Please bury me at 21" [Chapter 81: Resistance]
[…I once again realized that a kind but cowardly person can accomplish nothing.
Kindness can certainly make this society a better place, but not everyone can enjoy this kindness with peace of mind.
Except for the time when I sent my father to the police station, I considered myself to be very kind. Even if I saw a puppy passing by, I would squat down and throw the saved bread to it.
I still trust many good people in society, and I still maintain the "kindness" that I recognize.
But I still suffered betrayal, exclusion and degradation.
My mother was in poor health, and it was thanks to the help of those aunties that I was able to successfully apply to become a sanitation worker in the community and support my schooling.
But even so, after learning about this, my classmates who didn't know the whole story called me the 'street sweeper's daughter' and enjoyed it.
It seemed that in their eyes, I had to feel ashamed of this title in order to satisfy their curiosity.
But no, it doesn't!
I know what my mom is like!
Even though she endured domestic violence from a scumbag for years, I will always remember the way she exploded and divorced him, and held me in her arms!
So what if I’m an environmental worker? There is no distinction between high and low professions!
As their words became more and more outrageous, I finally realized that I shouldn't put up with it any longer.
Just like I treated that scumbag, I picked up the discarded water bottles and newspapers from the classroom trash can and stuffed them into the desk of the scumbag who laughed at me the loudest in front of everyone.
"It doesn't matter. If you work harder, you can be recycled along with the recyclables."
I seem to have found the most useful way to face this damn world. 】
Luo Shiqin flipped through a few more chapters, and sure enough, from the end of this chapter onwards, Yang Yan was just like this, with his sharp tongue and weird temperament.
This attitude has saved her a lot of trouble.
But it was in more than 600 chapters that Yang Yan changed from being occasionally sharp-tongued to making indiscriminate attacks.
"Please bury me at the age of 21" [Chapter 601: Frame-up]
[…The new operator is not a good person.]
I have heard this before.
But I am just a photographer. Although I have been assigned many tasks by the company and have taken on responsibilities that even life cannot bear, I am still just a photographer in the final analysis.
The new operations manager was assigned to me, and they asked me to guide him.
As soon as I heard it, I knew it was the decision made by the brain-deficient boss whose brain capacity is less than 1ml.
How does a photography agency operate an account? Thanks to you guys for figuring it out!
Unfortunately, the new media department has too few people, and each position can only barely keep running. Any slight change will become a case of robbing Peter to pay Paul.
I had no choice but to take on this tough job.
I am not a person who acts on impulse. At least when it comes to work, I believe in keeping public and private affairs separate and efficiency comes first.
However, what Li Yunying did was simply intolerable to me.
Whether it is failing to fulfill one's job responsibilities, or even putting the blame on colleagues, or secretly sowing discord, a project that was originally going well will be completely ruined.
The boss, who was not very smart to begin with, became even smarter.
The key point is that this guy once again blew up the team that I had worked so hard to put together and almost tore it apart.
The company still kept him. After all, he was one of the few operations staff. Although his performance during the internship was not outstanding, it was at least not too bad.
Forget it, maybe we can get used to each other later. 】
Luo Shiqin: …
It seems that they are not getting along well. After all, in Chapter 619, Yang Yan was stabbed in the back again.
In this way, the sentence in the copy: "In a life full of thorns, courage alone is not enough. In the end, I can only murmur the bitterness of life." is written in the tone of Yang Yan.
As the protagonist, Yang Yan does gain enough courage to cheer herself up and face the various blows in life.
But "courage alone is not enough"... Even if she just took a quick glance at the entire novel, Luo Shiqin was able to determine that everything Yang Yan was doing now seemed to be the result of "doing it for the sake of doing it."
She had no goals, no direction to work towards - it's not quite accurate to say that. After all, when Yang's mother was still supporting Yang Yan, although she was doing a job that she didn't quite understand, she was at least happy.
I work hard for my mom and myself, so I feel happy.
Luo Shiqin lowered her head, frowned, took out her mobile phone, briefly summarized the current problem into a few sentences and sent them to her pen pal who was always online.
She still couldn't figure out one thing: why the short biography on Yang Yan's head suddenly turned into a book about a changed life.
There seemed to be a thin membrane in her mind. It looked very fragile, but Luo Shiqin just couldn't find the truth through it.
[——Huh? How can you be so imaginative! Take off your head and send it to me!]
The reply came almost instantly. After quickly browsing through the previous summary, the pen pal sent a long voice message.
Luo Shiqin tightened her face and transcribed the speech into text, so that people around her would not give her complicated looks.
She moved her fingers and briefly sent out a question mark.
[——I will show off this, you know? I really will!]
Luo Shiqin continued to ask two questions.
[——? You really don’t know? Could it be that I haven’t written for a long time and my sensitivity to images and symbolic things has decreased? Hurry up and write for me! ]
[——Isn’t the protagonist Y you are talking about the epitome of some modern people? ]
[——I don’t know why I worked so hard. I was still a synonym for ‘young people’, but when I look back in middle age, it seems that I didn’t do anything along the way of youth. I was just pushed to go with the flow… Thinking about it this way, I was also considered ‘protagonist Y’ before.]
[——It’s not that it’s bad, after all, this is the growth process of most people. Some people know what they want to do when they wake up, and they will stick to their own path no matter how hard the rest of their lives are. Even if they don’t wake up, they can still act step by step and sleep in their dreams.]
[——The scariest thing is a person who is half asleep and half awake. He realizes that he seems to have to do something for himself, but he is still confused and doesn't know how to do it.]
[——Have you never had this feeling? ]
The finger on the phone paused, but after a moment, Luo Shiqin sent the message.
Without looking at the reply on the other end of the phone, she put the phone in her pocket and looked at Yang Yan again.
Today is Monday, and there are only four days left until the incident of 'Yang Yan died on the seventh day'.
Time can pass quickly or slowly, and a lot has happened in the past few days.
The title of the book "A Changing Life" above Yang Yan's head had become very faint, but just like what Luo Shiqin had seen before, even though only a little ink stain remained, the title was still stubborn and indestructible.
After this conversation, Luo Shiqin could no longer regard this book of extraordinary life as a simple story of Yang Yan's life and death.
Maybe, after this book of unusual life is finished, it will influence a large number of people like Yang Yan to go to the "cherry blossom forest" they care about forever.
This book may not seem as dangerous as the previous ones, but while the previous ones attack the body, this one attacks the mind.
To destroy a person's will, all you need to do is destroy his hope.
But how can we remove the ink stain on Yang Yan's head...
This question remained in Luo Shiqin's mind until Fan Lele woke up, and then she seemed to understand something.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, the girl who was on IV drip woke up in the ward.
Luo Shiqin, who had been paying attention to the book of life, raised her hand and patted Yang Yan, who was a little sleepy.
"She's awake."
"Ah? Oh," the girl couldn't help but yawn, rubbed her eyes, got up from the chair, and walked along the corridor towards the ward where Fan Lele was.
As for why Luo Shiqin could know the other party's situation from such a distance, Yang Yan simply said it was the special nature of the god of death.
However, what was unexpected was that the previous firefighter Tan Keping was still there and had not returned. He was waiting outside the door with his head down, looking drowsy.
When the two of them turned the corner, Luo Shiqin didn't even look closely, and naturally followed Yang Yan towards the ward.
Until the young man who was dozing with his head lowered passed by, he was startled and raised his head sleepily.
For a moment, Luo Shiqin's eyes met his inadvertently.
Tan Keping: …
The young man opened his eyes wide, looking as if he was excited and ready to scream.
"Bang!"
Inside the ward, there was a sound of something heavy falling.
