Chinese Web Novel Platform's Sincerity

Ruyi earnestly assured the two of them.

"Forget it, I've said too much," Li Changle looked helplessly at Wang Siyi.

Wang Siyi also looked speechlessly at this cute girl, her imagination was quite vivid. However, this time she didn't retort. She glanced at Li Changle, said nothing, and returned to her room.

Although Qinghe was curious about Li Changle living with a popular female singer from the entertainment industry, he wasn't a gossip. He was merely surprised and didn't dwell on it.

He wasn't like Ruyi; he was here for important matters. He intended to keep Li Changle on the Chinese Web Novel Platform and discuss the film and television adaptation rights for Legend of Sword and Fairy 1.

"Mr. Li, is that correct? Our visit to your doorstep today from the Chinese Web Novel Platform is made with utmost sincerity. We can directly offer you a Platinum Great God contract, provided you guarantee that at least three more books will be published and serialized on our platform."

"Furthermore, the copyright for the novel Legend of Sword and Fairy currently belongs to our Chinese Web Novel Platform. We are interested in adapting it for film and television, and we plan to offer you a share of the profits from this adaptation based on the Platinum Great God contract."

Li Changle was somewhat shocked by the terms offered by the Chinese Web Novel Platform.

They were truly sincere. So, Li Changle signed with the Chinese Web Novel Platform without hesitation. He hadn't planned on moving elsewhere anyway.

They were even offering him a raise and various benefits proactively.

Li Changle couldn't have found such a good employer even if he'd searched with a lantern in his past life.

However, regarding the last point, the film and television adaptation of Legend of Sword and Fairy.

Li Changle requested to be involved in the adaptation process and to have voting rights on the adaptation and casting.

He also stated that he would forgo the Platinum Great God profit share for Legend of Sword and Fairy, accepting a standard profit-sharing ratio instead.

Regarding this point, Qinghe and the others from the Chinese Web Novel Platform nodded in agreement. The request was reasonable, after all, Li Changle was the author himself.

No one was more familiar with the story of Legend of Sword and Fairy than he was. With him involved, the adaptation process would be twice as effective with half the effort.

Moreover, to appear generous, the profit distribution would still be calculated based on the Platinum Great God ratio. And so, everyone was happy.

Li Changle was quite satisfied with this outcome. With all matters settled, Li Changle, as the host, naturally wanted to fulfill his duties as a host and planned to invite the people from the Chinese Web Novel Platform out for a meal.

Li Changle thought seriously for a moment, realizing he couldn't leave Wang Siyi behind. If he went out, what would she eat?

Looking at her, she probably wouldn't cook. He couldn't possibly have her eat takeout, could he?

He went to Wang Siyi's bedroom and knocked on the door.

"What is it?"

Wang Siyi's voice came from inside.

"Um, I'm going out to treat them to a meal, but if I go out, you won't have anything to eat. Why don't you come with me?"

Li Changle hesitated for a moment before asking for her opinion.

Wang Siyi inside was silent for a long while.

"Okay, wait for me for ten minutes."

Li Changle wasn't surprised. He informed Qinghe and Ruyi that it would take some time and they chatted idly while waiting for Wang Siyi to come out.

"Great God Xiaoyao, when did you and Sister Wanjun get together?"

Ruyi, with her big, sparkling eyes, asked Li Changle gossipily from the side.

"Get together for what?"

Li Changle couldn't quite understand the thought process of young girls these days and asked doubtfully.

"You know, that. When did you two become a couple?"

Ruyi became very excited at this question, her face full of gossip.

Li Changle said helplessly to Ruyi:

"She and I are not a couple. You're thinking too much. She's only staying here because of an accident."

"An accident? Are you saying you got pregnant before marriage and are tying the knot after the fact!?"

Ruyi's imagination was incredibly wild. Her mind conjured an image.

Wang Wanjun, hit hard by her career, got drunk late at night and encountered an equally drunk Li Changle. Sparks flew between them...

Li Changle couldn't help but twitch his eyelid and reached out to swat Ruyi.

This young girl, she was in her twenties, possibly older than him, why was she so mischievous?

"What are you thinking? She and I are just ordinary friends. There's nothing complicated going on."

Seeing Li Changle speak so sincerely, Ruyi looked at him intently.

He didn't seem like he was lying. Had she been mistaken? It shouldn't be. She glanced at Li Changle with some disappointment.

Alas, her favorite actress and favorite author were just a step away from becoming a couple. She sighed, a little dejected that the CP (couple) she wanted to ship didn't materialize.

Wang Siyi finally emerged from her room. Li Changle finally understood why he had to wait ten minutes. The woman had changed her clothes and even put on light makeup?

He didn't know how she managed to change and put on makeup in ten minutes. However, he was certain of one thing: Wang Siyi looked incredibly beautiful tonight.

She was wearing a white long-sleeved top, a light blue short cardigan, and a pleated skirt of the same color. A white belt with short tassels was tied around her waist.

Her long hair cascaded over her shoulders, her exquisite features made his heart race, and her slender figure was voluptuous and graceful as she walked towards him with light steps.

"Let's go."

Wang Siyi said calmly to Li Changle.

Li Changle was still lost in Wang Siyi's beauty, unable to extricate himself. They had lived together for so long.

She usually appeared before him in very ordinary clothes, or even just loungewear.

Even so, Li Changle still thought she was beautiful. Seeing such a face every morning when he woke up could significantly improve his mood.

He just hadn't expected that tonight, dressed up seriously, she would genuinely shock Li Changle. She looked so much better than her usual appearance.

It wasn't just Li Changle who was shocked, but Ruyi as well.

Seeing Wang Siyi's current attire, Ruyi wished she could rush over and kiss Wang Siyi. She was too beautiful!

Although the photos online were beautiful, Ruyi had seen too many and no longer felt anything special.

Only after seeing Wang Siyi's meticulously dressed face with her own eyes did Ruyi understand what it meant to be "captivating enough to make fish sink, wild geese fall, moons hide, and flowers blush."

"Wow, Sister Wanjun, you look amazing! Can I take a picture with you? I won't post it, I'll just keep it as a souvenir. I'm a die-hard fan!"

Her big eyes looked pleadingly at Wang Siyi.

Seeing that Li Changle was also stunned by her dressed-up appearance, Wang Siyi felt a little happy. She didn't refuse Ruyi's request and nodded with a smile.

Ruyi quickly took out her phone and took five quick shots. Satisfied, she walked away.

This trip to Yangcheng was not in vain; it was truly worthwhile!

She had met the true Great God Xiaoyao and also met her idol whom she had followed for many years.

One was handsome, the other beautiful. Most importantly, the two of them were suspected to be dating!

Ruyi didn't quite believe Li Changle's statement; they were clearly speaking intimately.

Moreover, Ruyi had a hunch that even if they weren't a couple now, they would definitely become one in the future!

Wang Siyi was quite happy seeing Li Changle's dazed expression.

However, seeing him standing there motionless while so many people were in the room made her feel a little uncomfortable and awkward.

She quickly lowered her head and said softly:

"Wh-what are you looking at me for."

Li Changle finally snapped back to reality:

"Oh, oh, everyone's here. Let's go."

He quickly beckoned everyone to go out together.

Ruyi watched the two of them perform from the side, her expression one of "just as I suspected." They really had something going on!

As a CP fan, Ruyi was ecstatic. This was too perfect! A match made in heaven, a talented man and a beautiful woman. They absolutely had to get together!

The place arranged to host Qinghe, Ruyi, and the others was a restaurant with distinctive characteristics in Yangcheng.

During the meal, because Qinghe was straightforward and Li Changle wasn't a dull person, mainly due to his past experiences writing proposals that often required communication with clients and attending banquets, Li Changle handled such situations with ease, and the conversation flowed continuously, preventing the meal from becoming awkward.

Qinghe couldn't help but look at the young man before him with renewed admiration. As the editor-in-chief of the Chinese Web Novel Platform, he had interacted with many online novel authors, but most of them had poor social skills.

Li Changle clearly had no such problem. He could converse about various topics, from all walks of life.

He particularly impressed them by offering interesting ideas related to novels, causing Qinghe and Ruyi to nod frequently.

"I wonder what kind of work Great God Xiaoyao plans to write next?"

Ruyi's inner gossip reignited. She couldn't help it; Legend of Sword and Fairy had left too profound an impact on her.

The novel had a novel setting, a humorous and witty writing style in the first half, and a profound and tragic narrative in the latter half.

Anyone who finished this novel would feel their heart stirred for a long time; its lingering impact was immense.

Legend of Sword and Fairy was still very popular online, occasionally trending, which was incredibly rare for the novel industry.

After many years of development in web novels, such a situation, if not unique, was certainly rare.

The emergence of Legend of Sword and Fairy had inspired many similar novels online with comparable settings or styles, some good, some bad.

However, overall, Legend of Sword and Fairy had brought a new writing approach to novel creation in this world, contributing to the development of the web novel industry. This was definitely a good thing.

"I wonder what the current situation is like for novels on the Chinese Web Novel Platform?"

Li Changle asked. He had only glanced at it before and, believing his story's quality was strong enough to be popular, hadn't paid much attention.

"On the Chinese Web Novel Platform right now, before Legend of Sword and Fairy appeared, the hottest category was fantasy, leaning towards leveling up and monster hunting. These kinds of power fantasy novels provide readers with a sense of satisfaction."

"The urban genre is also doing well, but its core is similar to fantasy, mostly about leveling up and fighting monsters."

"Besides these two major categories, others are performing averagely. Oh, right, martial arts and sci-fi are performing much worse because these types of novels are primarily published as physical books. However, in recent years, there haven't been any particularly outstanding martial arts or sci-fi novels..."

Ruyi sighed. Her favorite genre was still martial arts novels. The feeling of reading martial arts novels as a child was unforgettable; she would secretly read them even during class.

However, the pacing of online novels is relatively fast, perhaps due to societal changes and the acceleration of life's pace.

It seemed that people could no longer write good martial arts and sci-fi novels. These two genres struggled to develop online.

Li Changle nodded and pondered for a moment, ultimately deciding he intended to write martial arts. Just as he had boosted the xianxia genre with Legend of Sword and Fairy, he would do the same for martial arts.

Li Changle believed that once the novel he prepared began serialization, the wuxia novels in this world would definitely be promoted.

After all, this was Jin Yong, the esteemed Master Jin.

The popularity of Master Jin Yong's wuxia novels on Earth could be said to be even greater than Legend of Sword and Fairy.

Spanning over half a century from the 1970s to the 2020s, across five to six generations, they were classics among classics, and calling them household names wouldn't be an exaggeration.

There was no reason for such works not to become popular in this world. Legend of Sword and Fairy had already proven that works that became popular on Earth could also succeed here.

"Then I plan to write a wuxia novel."

Li Changle said with determination.

"What!?"

Ruyi was greatly surprised. She had only asked casually and didn't expect to get an actual answer.

Moreover, Li Changle actually planned to write a wuxia novel. Didn't he know how difficult the wuxia novel category was right now?

"Great God Xiaoyao, the current wuxia novel market is very bleak, and the proportion of wuxia novels on the Chinese Web Novel Platform is very, very small. Perhaps very few people read them?"

Ruyi quickly explained to Li Changle just how dire the situation was for wuxia novels on the Chinese Web Novel Platform, but Li Changle was unconcerned.

"It doesn't matter. Before I wrote Legend of Sword and Fairy, wasn't the Xianxia category in a similar situation?"

"That's different. Xianxia is similar to Xuanhuan, and they already have overlapping audiences, so the basic readership for Xianxia novels is very stable. But wuxia novels are far behind. Forget a basic readership, we don't even know if they have any loyal readers."

"It's alright, I've already thought of the plot."

Li Changle said calmly to Ruyi.

Qinghe saw Li Changle's confident expression. He had initially intended to persuade Li Changle to give up on wuxia and continue writing Xianxia, but then he thought about it.

If he really managed to make another wuxia novel popular, it would similarly bring a wave of traffic to the Chinese Web Novel Platform.

If this novel turned out poorly, at worst, he could cut it or finish it and then persuade him to continue writing Xianxia with the next one. This risk was worth taking!

Li Changle's credibility was guaranteed. Qinghe had a hunch that his wuxia novel might be truly extraordinary, and he felt a sense of anticipation.

Wang Siyi hadn't said much since coming out with Li Changle, watching him calmly handle people from the Chinese Web Novel Platform.

She couldn't help but feel curious. Originally, she thought Li Changle was just a passionate young man fresh out of college.

But after living with him for a while, she discovered he was meticulous to a fault and seemed to be capable of anything – cooking, writing songs, writing novels...

Why did someone younger than her know so much? Wang Siyi felt a bit bored and could no longer eat.

She could only gaze at Li Changle, her mind replaying every moment they had spent together during this time.

Suddenly, she felt someone patting her shoulder. She quickly snapped back to reality.

Looking over, she saw the wide-eyed, cute girl who had been so easily startled today. She looked at the girl, who claimed to be her ultimate fan, with confusion.
