Chapter 0: Shelf Announcement
This book will finally be available for purchase starting February 15th, in the early morning hours.
Thank you to all my dear readers for your support and love. You have made this period incredibly fulfilling and satisfying for me.
I am grateful to editors Xi Gua and Bai Niao for allowing this book to be contracted and for arranging recommendations, which have helped more readers discover it.
Actually, I had written another shelf announcement before. It was several thousand characters long and I had put a lot of effort into it. I was even moved by myself. But then I thought, writing it this way isn’t cheerful or positive at all. If, after officially going on sale, I find that absolutely no one subscribes or follows the book, won’t I be incredibly embarrassed?
Yes, even now, I am still a glass-hearted person with extreme self-doubt. I always worry about this and that, overthinking everything many times. This is probably because I have experienced too many failures and been discouraged too many times.
I’ve put a lot of effort into this book, but the current results are beyond my imagination. I sincerely want to say to all the readers who have read this book, thank you for reading my novel. This is the greatest affirmation and help to me.
I guarantee that regardless of the sales performance after going on sale, I will bury my head in my work, write diligently, and catch up on all the overdue updates. After all, I have experienced even more desperate situations of failure.
Finally, I will summarize that previous announcement into a few words: “Nine years of failures, still not awake, my blood has not grown cold.”
