Wishing You a Pleasant Winter, and Sincerely Wishing You Health and Peace (January Mass Update Plan)

Fellow Daoists, greetings from By the Lake.

Before I knew it, 2025 had come to an end just like that.

The Year of Yisi had passed, and the Year of Bingwu was about to arrive. Tomorrow would be 2026. At this moment, I was filled with many reflections.

When all was said and done, it still came down to the two words "writing updates." Though there might be a few idle remarks, once I put pen to paper, everything ultimately returned to silence.

Over the past two months, affairs had wrapped themselves around me. Though updates remained steady, the spirit of striving had ultimately been lacking.

New year, new beginnings. Starting with January, I was preparing to resume the mass update plan.

The previous plan had been one extra chapter for every 1,000 Monthly Passes. At the last moment, I decided to push myself harder and adjust it to one day of 10,000 words for every 500 Monthly Passes, with no upper limit.

As for the plot, I would do everything within my power.

At the beginning of the month, I would ask my fellow Daoists for some monthly passes and see whether we had a chance to charge into the top hundred of the monthly pass rankings, to take in the sights ahead.

At midnight tonight, By the Lake would set an example first, with three chapters as a token of respect.

Alright then, everyone, By the Lake was off to write. I looked forward to the coming storm and tempest~

I wished you all, in 2026, relaxed brows and bright eyes, everything to your satisfaction, all wishes fulfilled, good health, peace, and joy.

Wishing you a pleasant winter, and sincerely wishing you health and peace.
