Chapter 96: Remarks on the release
Let me explain to everyone that it will be released after 12 noon today. I will update one chapter before it is released. After 12 noon, I will update two more chapters after the VIP chapter is opened. Thank you for your support during this period!
I would like to take this opportunity to tell you about the "difficult journey" of this book, so that you can kill some time and have some fun.
Yanyue came to Qidian to write books at the end of 2022. He used another account to write two fan fictions. When the last fan fiction was finished, I was thinking about whether I should change my career path.
There are so many people writing fan fiction nowadays, and nearly 50% of authors started writing books from fan fiction. However, the road to writing original works is not smooth, and submitting works to get signed has become the most difficult hurdle to overcome. It may be incredible to say that this book was submitted to several editors before it was published directly, but it failed to sign.
Later, I felt unwilling to give up, so I thought of giving it a try and published this book with this account. However, the bumpy road to signing the contract has not come to an end. After updating and publishing 28,000 words, I have not seen the letter of signing the contract. This made Yanyue start to doubt whether I chose the wrong subject matter? The fact that I still failed to sign the contract also made Yanyue lose the motivation to continue updating, and I was even prepared to cancel the book early. Many old readers should know that in early July, this book was suspended for about two days.
It was not until two days later that I unexpectedly received a contract signing letter from editor Penglai that I had the courage to continue updating.
But after signing the contract, Yanyue's good luck seemed to come. Since the new book was put into the library, readers have come to read the book and left their own comments, which also made Yanyue flattered. Before this, I discussed with friends in the author group, and everyone agreed that "nine out of ten original works fail, and one is on the way to failure." The original road is difficult to go on, and there are only a few who stick to the end. Being able to open up the situation with one or two original works is almost as likely to win the lottery.

Later, with everyone's support, the data of this book got better and better. Within half a month, it successfully jumped from the first round of recommendations to the third round of recommendations, and then to the fourth round of recommendations and Sanjiang Channel. The highest number of follow-up data even exceeded 5,100. For Yanyue, this is simply a miracle.
Later, when I was communicating with the editor, he was also surprised by the data surge of my book. It was also from him that I learned that it had been a long time since there was a "hot item" with good data in Peninsula Writers. Most Peninsula Writers had very mediocre data. They even thought that books of this theme had already died out, but I was such a "weirdo"~ My friends who like reading books around me also teased me, saying that this book is a bit like the protagonist in a fantasy novel. At the beginning, I was rejected many times and felt that I was not qualified to sign a contract. But it was just like those protagonists who turned over and fought back in adversity. It overcame all the obstacles and rushed to the Sanjiang Channel, a height that Yanyue could never reach.
Later, some friends in the author group analyzed that the heroine Li Fuzhen chosen for this book is very likable and everyone likes her. If a less well-known heroine is chosen, the data may not be so good. I agree with this. Li Fuzhen's popularity is several times that of the hero Zhang Junfeng O(∩_∩)O Haha~ Okay, the story about this book has been told. Please wait for a while, and I will present two updates at noon~! Thank you again for your support~!
