Today's first chapter has been posted—don't miss it. The second update will go up at 7 PM tonight.

Many readers said the midnight updates were tough to keep up with, so starting tomorrow, I'm shifting the schedule: the first update at noon, the second in the evening. I'll try to keep the timing stable.

Also, I'm launching a giveaway, sponsored by my wife.

Some old readers know that back when I was writing "This Star Wants to Retire," my wife and I were still dating. She shelled out 10,000 RMB from her own pocket to drop a Golden Alliance on me, supporting my writing career.

Then, all the praise from readers and the gossip about me being a kept man—she got a real kick out of it.

When I was writing "Forcing Me to Be Reborn, Right?", I had the foresight to uninstall Qidian from her phone. I didn't want her reading my scumbag male lead stories and letting her Wild thoughts run wild.

Everyone knows how tough urban harem novels are, right?

So, I planned to write a non-urban genre first to take a breather, and that's how this book came about. She reinstalled Qidian too.

On the very first day of this book, she said she wanted to drop a Silver Alliance on me.

Clearly, she wanted to relive that thrill—to savor the Grand occasion of when she dropped the Golden Alliance.

But I stopped her.

Simple reason: Qidian takes half the money from tips, hehehe.

A Silver Alliance nets me just 5,000, and then taxes on top of that.

—But she insisted!

After some back-and-forth, to satisfy her need to show off in the reader group, I decided to take that 5,000 that would've gone to Qidian and use it for a reader giveaway instead!

(Here, give my Ayou some face—suggest leaving a comment praising her awesomeness. Thanks in advance.)

Another reason for the giveaway during the new book phase: when I launched it, Dian Niang set me up with a pretty flashy launch event.

But readers participating in that event to draw prizes—can they even get 6 Qidian Coins?

Hah! What's that about? Such bad luck? I actually drew a whole 6 Qidian Coins!

Let's just entertain ourselves instead.

Anyway, it's 5,000 total. 100 winners, 50 each—let me show you my wife's power!

Per the rules, it'll be distributed as Qidian Coins—winners get 5,000 Qidian Coins credited.

Voting a monthly ticket counts as automatic entry.

I originally wanted the event to last just one day—for the thrill, like when I had tens of thousands of people drawing for a 20,000+ RMB Chanel bag in the last book.

But the operator suggested that some people might not have tickets today.

So, the giveaway is extended to 7 days, ending on July 23rd.

Any monthly ticket votes within those 7 days count as entry.

The draw will be handled by my female assistant and voice actress: Sweet and Greasy Pork Belly.

That's it~ Request monthly votes~
