Farewell to the Old, Fireworks Year after Year

Brothers, quite a few things happened during the Spring Festival. I won't play the victim or ask for sympathy, so I won't go into the details. I've owed everyone quite a few updates these past days. I did the math—it's roughly 32,000 words.

I won't say anything more. While ensuring regular updates, I'll repay everyone a total of 60,000 words, all cleared by the end of March.

The aftermath still hasn't been dealt with these past two days. I'll do my best to make sure the updates don't stop. If I do fall behind, I'll repay it all together at double the amount.

Chen Ping'an, Chen Er'ya, Heavenly Luo Saintess, Nangong Wan, Nangong Yan, Gu Qingchan, Gu Qingcheng, Feng Wuhen, Wang Siyuan, Wang Lingzhi, and many characters who have already appeared—or have yet to appear—are waiting for me. By the Lake, you'd better pull your weight.

Rest assured, brothers: the story won't stop, and my pen won't rest. Just as I said in the first chapter when I began this book, I will never abandon it!
