As November begins, a rising star has emerged in the Chinese comics industry!
She is Qingyu, the author of the comic "My Secret"! Just like the title of the comic, Qingyu is also very mysterious. Apart from the fact that her gender was "accidentally" revealed by the editor, everything about Qingyu is a secret!
"My Secret" burst onto the scene and dominated the mainstream comic app Tomato Comics in just one month.
The comic tells the story of a rich, handsome, and avenger with superpowers.
In this fictional world of comics, the protagonist, Ming Shigao, was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. After his parents passed away, as the sole heir, he possessed a fortune of hundreds of millions, villas, luxury cars, and everything that the world envied and resented. However, deep in his heart, he always had a secret that he could not reveal.
Even the most affluent life can become tiresome and boring after a while. Having lived in this world for over twenty years, Ming Shigao's weariness of this kind of life has only grown stronger.
He always hoped to find something extraordinary in his ordinary life.
On the subway in Tanhua City, it was past rush hour, and only a few passengers were standing or sitting.
Playing on your phone while riding the subway has become a standard practice for modern Chinese people. Two young girls sitting in the corner were playing on their phones and chatting occasionally.
"This male protagonist is such a pervert! He actually killed his first love and buried her in his own garden!" said the girl in the yellow fluffy coat on the left.
"Yes, and not only that, look at this section, he actually carved a poem on his girlfriend's corpse!" The girl in the black down jacket flipped to the corresponding plot. "Hey, why does this poem feel so strange?"
The young man standing to the side finally found an opportunity to strike up a conversation, and stepped forward to say, "Look, this is an acrostic poem, which perfectly matches the title of this episode!"
"Plum Blossom Academy!" The two little girls realized this. "Oh, I see!"
Being close in age and sharing the same interests, the three young people who loved comics quickly hit it off.
The seats, which were originally only big enough for two people, were now squeezed together by three people without any hesitation.
"Look, didn't the male protagonist, Ming Shigao, awaken the superpower of teleportation? Although the author didn't explicitly say so, it's been hinted at quite clearly. Could it be that he himself was the one who tampered with his parents' things?"
"It has to be him! It's so obvious! It's all his mother's fault for doing such a disgusting thing, trying to break them up. But this protagonist is really a psychopath; he even killed his girlfriend because of this!"
"Killing my parents was revenge, killing my girlfriend was for possession! The body buried under the plum tree, when the plum blossoms bloom again next year, I will see your smile, yes, it will be you smiling at me..."
Seeing the male protagonist talking to himself in the comic, the boy shuddered and took the opportunity to move to the side. The girl, whose attention was focused on the comic, didn't notice.
"Have you guys noticed that the story in this comic seems to be based on a real case from our Tanhua City?"
Where? Where?
"The protagonist's parents died on the cross-sea bridge when the driver's cab suddenly exploded, causing the vehicle to lose control and plunge into the Red River. The Red River, the Honghe River—isn't that what happened here more than ten years ago when the cross-sea bridge had just opened to traffic?"
"It seems so, but I remember the news said it was just an accident, I think it was drunk driving and speeding!"
"You believe what they say on the news? I remember it too. The people in the car were no ordinary people. One was a section chief from the Education Department, and the other was some big boss!"
The little girl's gossipy nature flared up, and she asked the little boy, "Could it be collusion between officials and businessmen? Are these two having an affair?"
"What affair? They're husband and wife, okay?!"
"Oh, hehe, it seems so."
The little boy continued his search, “In this chapter of the comic, the one you just said the male protagonist is a pervert, have you forgotten the murder case that happened at the National Taiwan Normal University a couple of years ago? It seems to have happened in the plum blossom grove. As for whether or not the words were carved, I don’t know. This is probably an artistic addition by the author!”
Before they knew it, time flew by as the three of them chatted, and they arrived at the stop for the two young ladies.
During the chat, the little boy had already exchanged contact information with the two girls. He never expected that he would actually meet two girls because of a comic book. If he put in a little more effort, would the chance encounter turn into a romantic one?
The little boy, lost in thought, picked up his phone and found Qingyu's novel, "My Secret." The comic had just updated with a new chapter, "Rainy Night Run, Horrifying Slaughterhouse!"
"This author is amazing! Isn't this just like the human flesh lunchbox incident that happened not long ago? Are you sure they can publish something like this?"
With the development of internet information, several murder cases that have occurred in Tanhua City in recent years can be easily found online with a simple search.
Based on a real case, this may be one of the main reasons why the comic became so popular.
Of course, the author Qingyu's skillful writing and elegant painting style also perfectly match the aesthetic views of contemporary young people.
After being serialized for more than a month and only three stories have been updated, this new comic has already stormed into the top ten of the comic rankings and achieved the remarkable feat of being number one on the newcomer list!
...
“Ming Shi Gao? What a great name!” Although Xiong Yingjun is over fifty years old, he still occasionally pays attention to the latest trends.
A few days ago, I saw my granddaughter was obsessively following this comic, so I curiously took a look as well.
That one glance was all it took; the name of the comic's protagonist immediately caught his attention.
Ming Shi Gao, read backwards, isn't that Gao Siming?
