I am Candy: This novel is almost exactly the same as one I read before. The original author is Maple Leaf, and the title is "Sir, Your Wife is Here". You can check it out on the cloud website if you don't believe me.
This one comment made Nanzhi frown.
I figured someone was probably leaving a book review here on purpose to increase the exposure of their book.
She simply ignored it and continued publishing her novels every day.
For the next few days, the comment section remained very quiet. Nan Zhi had published less than 80,000 words so far, so naturally not many people were reading them.
The incident occurred a week later, with 99+ messages in the backend.
Nan Zhi stared wide-eyed in disbelief. Could it be that her novel had suddenly become a hit?
The original intention of writing this work was to record my daily life with Shen Xingmian. In fact, it is basically about the people around them, but with different names and backgrounds, and some fabricated plots added.
Nan Zhi was somewhat excited, after all, it was only a few words long, yet it suddenly garnered so many comments.
She clicked on it and glanced at it, then immediately frowned.
We at Maple Leaf firmly condemn plagiarism.
[Get out of the online novel circle, you idiot, go to hell.]
This is truly the first time I've ever seen plagiarism like this. They only changed the title; everything else, even the punctuation, is exactly the same. It's disgusting.
[Just because you switch websites doesn't mean you can do whatever you want. You're a fool. Get lost.]
Boycott plagiarism! Plagiarists, get out of the online literature world!
My maple leaves are so cute, how can the camphor tree have branches? Have they no shame?
[If Nanmu Youzhi apologizes, or her parents will die.]
......
Scrolling through these 99+ messages, every single one of them is an accusation that Nanmu Youzhi plagiarized.
Nan Zhi was completely dumbfounded. It couldn't be plagiarism; it was entirely her own original work.
She opened the cloud network and searched for "Maple Leaf," finding only one book: "Sir, Your Wife is Here."
This book has a lot of fans, and the comments section is full of requests for the male and female leads to have a sequel; it's incredibly intense.
Nan Zhi found something was off; the names of the male and female protagonists were exactly the same as those in her novel.
So she clicked to start reading. The writing style, the words, were all too familiar to her. At that moment, two words popped into Nan Zhi's mind: "Holy crap!"
This is her novel. Could it be that she published it before?
"Tsk tsk tsk, young lady, I think you're obsessed. It's obvious that this maple leaf belongs to someone else."
The robot kept talking, not wanting to continue watching Nan Zhi's self-doubt.
Nanzhi frowned: "But I haven't published any of them."
"Tch, who knows if yours was stolen by someone else?" Meow Meow Machine simply said that.
"No way, it's always been on my computer, except for that one time..."
Nan Zhi paused, remembering that when her computer broke down, she was glad she had saved a copy on a USB drive beforehand; otherwise, the novel would have been written in vain.
The computer was broken by Bai Xiaolian that time, could it be her?
With that in mind, Nan Zhi went directly to Shen Xingmian's study.
"Shen Xingmian, quickly check the surveillance footage from my study."
There are surveillance cameras in Nanzhi's study. When they were first installed, Nanzhi was vehemently opposed. In the end, Shen Xingmian promised that he would only open them occasionally and would never disturb her, so the cameras were finally installed.
Only the couple knew about this; Bai Xiaolian had lived there for so long, yet she was unaware of it.
Shen Xingmian was still puzzled, "Why check the surveillance footage?"
Nanzhi pulled him up from his seat. "It's something."
She sat down and opened the surveillance footage. She checked her phone's call history and found that Bai Xiaolian had only called her once since she left their house, when she treated everyone to dinner.
The second to last time was when she broke the computer.
Nanzhi quickly found the video from that day.
Bai Xiaolian went straight into the study, sat down in front of the computer, and started reading a novel.
I read for about an hour, and in the end, I don't know what I was thinking, I left the study.
She returned shortly afterward.
He held a USB drive in his hand, plugged it into the computer, clicked a few times, and then curled the corners of his mouth into a very strange smile.
Soon, Bai Xiaolian stood up, picked up the water glass on the table, and poured it directly onto the computer. She even waited a long time until the water had seeped into the computer before taking out her phone to make a call.
Seeing all this, Nanzhi couldn't quite describe her feelings at that moment.
Nan Zhi believes he has never mistreated Bai Xiaolian. From feeling pity and sympathy at the beginning to genuine heartache at the end, Nan Zhi's feelings for her are real.
She truly never expected that Bai Xiaolian would steal her novel.
Looking back now, I realize she wasn't truly sincere with me either. Otherwise, she wouldn't have called once after being gone for so long, let alone come back to visit.
The last time we ate together, I noticed a lot about how much he had changed in terms of clothing, personality, and wealth.
Considering the popularity of Maple Leaf's book "Sir, Your Wife is Here," which I just read, I wonder if his sudden wealth is due to the novel's popularity.
Shen Xingmian naturally saw the surveillance footage as well, and a hint of malice gradually appeared between his brows. This Bai Xiaolian was also hateful.
He reached out and patted the girl on the shoulder. "Zhizhi, leave this to me."
Nanzhi reached out and took his hand, then turned her head and said, "No need, I can do it myself."
Shen Xingmian was worried about her. Shen Xingmian had always known that Nanzhi was writing a novel, but she had never revealed it to her or read it, just so that one day Nanzhi could tell her herself.
That evening, Nanzhi leaned against Shen Xingmian's chest, feeling a touch of melancholy.
"Sigh, why am I so unlucky?"
Shen Xingmian hugged her and chuckled, "Even if you're unlucky, you still have me, right? Even if the whole world betrays you, I'll always be there for you."
Nan Zhi: "..." Her melancholy mood vanished instantly.
"Actually, I've been writing a novel, a story about the two of us. I really didn't expect her to steal it."
Speaking of Bai Xiaolian, Nan Zhi couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. To be honest, compared to Lin Youyou and Qin Xier, Bai Xiaolian's position in Nan Zhi's heart was not high, but it wasn't low either. At least she had once been genuinely good to her and cared about her.
But who knew that in the end they would be bitten back?
"What is the human heart, anyway? I always think, how can such a timid person do such bold things and disregard moral bottom lines?"
Nan Zhi dumped all her words on Shen Xingmian like trash, and Shen Xingmian listened quietly. When she heard what she said, she patted her head and said, "Often, people who can do things that violate moral bottom lines are very inconspicuous. Bai Xiaolian is such an inconspicuous person. Perhaps she was blinded by the prosperity of the capital."
Nan Zhi thought about it and realized it was true. She turned to the side and put her arm around Shen Xingmian's waist. "I'll talk to her tomorrow and give her another chance."
After saying that, she couldn't resist the drowsiness and closed her eyes to sleep.
Looking at the girl's sleeping face, Shen Xingmian couldn't help but find it a little funny. "You're so independent and self-reliant, how am I supposed to act as your husband?"
