Epilogue on Hundred Refinements

Originally, I said yesterday that I'd write an afterword today, but when I typed the three words "The End" yesterday, my heart truly felt hollow.

A novel of six years—there really is far, far too much I can't bear to part with. Today, I turned on the computer and sat here for two hours. I clearly had a thousand words and ten thousand things to say, yet I was honestly at a loss as to where to begin...

There is no banquet under heaven that does not come to an end, but I truly can't bear to let go. Today, please allow me to sort out my thoughts; tomorrow, I'll give everyone a wonderful afterword.

Tomorrow's afterword is very important, very important, so fellow Daoists, please all come and read it!
