Because Lu Zheng provided people with sufficient experience, and Gu Ren had anticipated the booming business, Tianwai Bookstore was well-prepared and did not experience any sell-outs.
The only storybooks that were serialized and written as detective novels were all sold out.
Gu Ren created a detective who was in a wheelchair but had an exceptionally sharp mind. He was just an ordinary civilian whose first case involved him being passively involved in the murder of his neighbor's family. In order to prove his innocence and clear his name, he displayed all his abilities and was then noticed by officials from the Dali Temple.
One case after another, interspersed with the schemes and suppression he faced from various wealthy families, he persevered through numerous difficulties, helping others seek justice, protecting himself, and gaining increasing fame. In the end, he undoubtedly achieved great success.
But the process was very gripping, both in terms of the case and the experiences of the wheelchair-bound protagonist; even the Empress Dowager was following it closely.
Therefore, this volume was sold out as soon as it was released.
Another storybook that sold out completely was also a serialized one. This one was quite melodramatic. It was about the children of two feuding families who fell in love with each other, insisted on being together, and eventually got together in a real love story.
The story unfolds with a series of dramatic events, both the woman and the man proving to be tough, leading to numerous conflicts and a highly dramatic narrative.
Before the Lunar New Year, this story was serialized up to the point where both sets of parents gritted their teeth and accepted the marriage. The ending described how, after the girl married into the man's family, she was fought over by her mother-in-law and sister-in-law, while the man was fought over by his brother-in-law and father-in-law.
Everyone wants to see how the two will work together to overcome these difficulties, and also wants to see if the two families will eventually reconcile because of the two children.
Gu Xin prefers detective stories to everyday family dramas.
In Gu Xin's mind, her third aunt's family was already an oddity. She herself lived in a harmonious and loving family and didn't want to see anything disharmonious.
Of course, she also has ways to resolve any disharmony that arises.
She married into the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion. In that large family, apart from the three sons of the third branch, everyone else had their own ulterior motives. If you weren't shrewd, you would have been eaten alive without even knowing why.
Gu Xin and the others spent some time at the bookstore in the morning, then took Gu Ren to a restaurant for a meal. The girls then went shopping and had fun, but Gu En did not go with them.
"Brother, what are you doing?" Not long after they parted, Gu Xin ran into Cheng Huaijin and the princes and princesses from the West.
"We're going to Prince Rui's residence, do you want to come?" Before Cheng Huaijin could answer, Princess Shalin ran over and grabbed Gu Xin. "Prince Rui wanted to invite Sister Nan to the residence, but Sister Nan didn't want to come alone, so she brought us along."
Prince Rui is the Ninth Prince, the one who fell for a princess from the Western Lands at the Royal Academy.
Gu Xin was quite friendly to the princes and princesses of the West. The Southern Princess also extended an invitation, so Gu Xin asked Gu Si and Gu Yingxue if they wanted to go.
Both of them wanted to go and see, so the group headed to Prince Rui's Mansion.
The Ninth Prince waited anxiously at the door, but when he saw this large group of people, he seemed to only have eyes for the Southern Princess, making the other princesses in the Western Lands quite envious.
The Western Lands are not as prosperous as the Great Zhou Dynasty. They have only lived here for less than half a year, but they have already fallen in love with this place. Unfortunately, not everyone in the Royal Academy is like the Ninth Prince.
