The Year of the Rabbit is almost here, and Pan Pan is sporting a pair of "limited-edition red eyes" for the occasion. Happy New Year in advance, everyone!
I used to be just a pure novel enthusiast. I read all kinds of books and loved both the classics and feel-good stories.
Back in school, I was only so-so at writing essays. After graduating from university, I went through a period of uncertainty and wasted quite a bit of time. I never worked a single day.
Luckily, I had a freelance job that paid well enough to keep me from starving. But the idea of writing a novel had somehow gotten stuck in my head. While the urge was still fresh, I wrote the first thirty or forty thousand words of this book and registered a writer's account on Qidian. Then I left it there, and nothing came of it.
And there it sat for more than three years.
It wasn't until July last year that I finally realized if I didn't really try to step into this field, I might never get another chance in my life.
So I got myself together and, without thinking too much about it, posted two chapters. I even put the book in the fantasy category at first.
A few days later, amid the vast sea of books, editor Ye Xiao spotted me and pulled me out. He offered me a contract and one trial recommendation after another, and that's how I made it this far.
Here, Hei Pan would like to give every reader willing to spend some time reading this book—especially, especially, especially those reading the official version—
a deep bow.
Thank you for recognizing the work of little homebodies who tuck themselves away in a room and tap out one character after
