In Xiangjiang Publishing House.
A well-mannered middle-aged man wearing glasses was reading the manuscript in his hands with fascination.
"Great! I've never seen such a theme before, in this market dominated by martial arts.
There was actually a palace struggle dominated by women.
It is mixed with power struggles, desires, and emotional entanglements.
It’s truly a masterpiece.”
Another female editor quickly agreed, and the unsatisfied look in her eyes was very obvious.
"Yes, who would have thought that such a master would appear now.
The delicate description and the entanglements full of power struggles are truly amazing.
But this subject matter is really limited. I don’t know if the people in the hutongs can accept it.”
The editors nearby were obviously talking about it.
They read the manuscript again and again, and all of them felt that both the writing style and the plot were excellent.
But this topic is really hard to say.
Hong Kong in the 1960s and 1970s was indeed more developed and open than other parts of the country.
However, novels about power struggles and palace affairs mainly from a female perspective like this are really rare, almost non-existent.
Most of the literature in the unified market now is martial arts novels, romance novels and various science fiction novels.
This kind of palace thing is really unheard of.
"I think this manuscript is too risky. No matter how well it is written, it won't work if there are no readers.
Every layout of our newspaper is in short supply.
If we don’t handle it well, it will easily affect our sales.”
The editor at the beginning pushed his glasses, obviously hesitant.
At this time, the middle-aged female editor who had been supporting him spoke up.
"I think it's acceptable. First of all, we all think the plot is good, which indirectly reflects the author's ability.
Another reason is that there are no similar themes on the market.
If we win the bet, we will be number one in this market!
Everyone knows that the first person to try something new will earn the most.
Compared to other traditional newspapers with great people.
Our foundation is too weak, whether it is martial arts or science fiction, it can only be considered above average.
Until now, we have not encountered a work that can lead us to break through the siege.
"Jiang Qin's Biography" is a huge experiment. If you lose, you can just start over. If you win, the benefits you gain are beyond your imagination.
Moreover, the romance novels that the author Phoenix had previously submitted were also pretty good.
In terms of sales, it has also received positive reviews from readers. This time, her resubmission is not just to deepen the connection between us.
If we can create a new god, our publishing house will have a backer in the future."
Others were chattering and couldn't make up their minds. After all, this subject matter was simply unheard of nowadays.
Moreover, compared to other stories with male protagonists, the level of intrigue in this story is simply eye-opening.
The portrayal of each character seems to have a soul and is generally wonderful.
The editor-in-chief, the middle-aged man with glasses, hesitated for a moment and made a decision with a firm look in his eyes.
"Sign the contract! Others might not dare, but I do. Anyway, it can't get any worse.
Maybe this attempt will give us a big surprise.
Even if this book is not popular, as long as we capture the author, with his imagination and writing style, it will definitely become popular in the future as long as it encounters the right subject matter.
So we can’t let this opportunity go!”
In this way, Yuanyuan, who was thousands of miles away, had no idea that the book based on her elder sister had been reused by the publishing house.
As for the protagonist of this book, Jiang Qin, she was at home at this time, listening to her husband's patient analysis with an unhappy look on her face.
“Qinqin, I think this is also a good thing.
After all, the mayor and his wife like Yuanyuan so much, and if it really works out in the future, they will definitely not suffer any injustice."
Jiang Qin's delicate white little hand was held in Shang Shixu's hand, and his face was full of favoritism.
"What's more, Yun Qi and I grew up together. In terms of ability, appearance, and character, he's not bad.
In the entire Beijing city, it is one of the best. I hope I can be with Yuanyuan in the future.
Not only will Yuanyuan be able to live a good life, but I can also help her out. With this relationship, our two families will definitely be even better in the future.
My parents will definitely be very satisfied.”
The words of his lover kept circulating in Jiang Qin's mind.
Jiang Qin was not as happy as she had imagined.
Nothing else, because she also knew Song Yunqi.
Seeing that Shang Shixu only reported good news and not bad news, Jiang Qin felt a little unhappy.
"You only know how to say nice things, why don't you just say that he's one year older than you!
He is seven or eight years younger than my younger sister, and he always pursues romantic and petty bourgeoisie things.
He doesn't seem reliable, but the worst thing is that he is very opinionated.
How could I possibly listen to my parents and go on a blind date? If I didn't like Yuanyuan, I would be forced to marry her by my parents.
How is Yuanyuan going to live her life from now on?
I knew he was good, but he was just too good.
My sister is just an ordinary little girl, although she is perfect in my eyes.
But he is no match for the mayor's son. If he gets wronged like me in the future, he will have nowhere to turn to.
Isn’t it miserable?”
Jiang Qin's tears fell from her eyes one by one.
When it comes to sad things, the aggrieved look on his face is so heartbreaking.
Shang Shixu immediately turned around and quickly kept a low profile.
"Don't cry, Qinqin, don't cry. It's my fault. I made you feel wronged."
