It goes premium at midnight tonight. Surprised? Excited? Thrilled?
Ahem, back to the point.
First, of course, I'd like to thank the great Yuanzheng and all the wonderful editors.
And, of course, all my readers. Thank you for all your comments, recommendations, and rewards. Every bit of support you've given me has kept me writing.
Also... I really don't have any chapters saved up. The story's hit a transition point, and I'm a bit obsessive about making the flow smooth. I always get stuck when I reach a turning point—whether it's a paragraph transition or, even worse, a plot twist. I'm writing at a snail's pace right now, so today's update will go up after midnight.
Waaah, please don't hit me, don't flame me! I'm begging you with my cutest puppy eyes.
Emmmm...
Next comes the sob story and subscription plea. I'm really no good at this, so I'll leave it to Li Si. After all, when the author has something to do, the protagonist should do the work—and a bonus chapter still counts as an update, doesn't it? (Smug face)
"That lousy author actually wants me to beg for sympathy? Hmph. There's no way this gentleman would..."
Li Si declared righteously, standing firm.
(You dare insult me? Believe it or not, I'll cut off your little manhood right now.)
"..."
"Fine. The author's the boss. I'm here for the sake of my future happiness."
Li Si grimaced, looking thoroughly aggrieved.
(Mm, what a sweet deal.)
"Boss Author, can we talk? I'm the protagonist, you know. Making me beg for sympathy is just protagonist abuse. Can we do this another way? Don't worry, I promise I'll sell the chapters for you, even if they're padded!"
(Oh, right—I almost forgot you're based on the Merchant template. Fine, it's all yours.
