After rebirth, she first killed the book thief, and she was busy writing articles to save people

Jiang Baige knew Linlang was joking, but there was no smoke without fire.

She has also read the comment section these days.

When the second male lead appeared, the female lead couldn't control her surging hormones and made him sleep like crazy, which caused the originally calm comment section to be divided into two camps again.

She wasn't too surprised by this. After all, she had never marked "the heroine has heterosexual desires" in the minefield, so it might hurt the feelings of some readers who didn't agree with this view.

Of course it’s okay to vent when your feelings are hurt, she can totally understand that.

However, writing the novel every day already took a lot of her energy. It was even more troublesome when, like at the beginning, she couldn't write a single word for several days or even weeks because she saw comments that made her angry or helpless.

Because for readers it is just entertainment or pastime, it is her livelihood.

She can choose not to compromise on some parts, but she must compromise on other parts: she will continue to write what she wants to write, but she will be more "respectful" to readers, and believe that money should be spent to buy happiness.

Just like spending money to buy anything else, you have the right to comment.

She let it go.

But now that the other person is Linlang, she can still explain first, although she guessed that Linlang just wants her to spoil some plots.

Jiang Baige: [It’s okay to sleep with a handsome guy who comes to your door. But this is to advance the plot, because in this setting, the waiter is here to “claim your life”, so some kind of relationship needs to be established. ]

It also comes with an emoji of a man with a zipper on his mouth.

Linlang: [I really like the style of your book. It’s not a reversal, but from the very beginning, there is a sense of calm madness.]

In 2017, crazy literature was not popular.

Perhaps Jiang Baige just brought things from a few years later - after all, she came from 2023 and had failed to "become a qualified social animal."

She was surprised that Linlang actually pointed this out.

If you think about it carefully, they haven't been in touch for some time. Besides because Linlang has landed safely at Nanlin.com, Jiang Baige also hasn't received any commercial manuscripts from her for a long time.

After settling down at Nanlin.com, Linlang has focused her work on online writing. After all, she is a veteran author with her own readers, so her income should be good, and she no longer needs commercial manuscripts to support her daily life.

Since Jiang Baige started preparing for his postgraduate study, he has been very busy with the three-dimensional world, and the deadlines for commercial manuscripts are quite strict, so naturally he doesn't take on many jobs.

Jiang Baige: [I didn’t expect that even after we stopped writing the manuscript together, our tacit understanding still existed! I wanted to write an article that could liberate myself... You saw through my little thoughts! ]

Linlang: [We are not just writing commercial articles together! ]

She probably thought about it for a while before sending another message: [We are comrades-in-arms, comrades-in-arms.]

Jiang Baige knew that the comrades-in-arms she was talking about were supporting each other - when Jiang Baige wanted to earn some extra money, Linlang gave her manuscripts to discuss; when Linlang wanted to write online articles but was not sure, Jiang Baige gave her direction and introductions.

Now, they all have a better "future" than their previous life.

Linlang asked again: [You wrote this article to liberate yourself, so what made you depressed? ]

So sharp.

Jiang Baige was shocked again: [Wow, my wife found out. I recently wanted to write a topic that is more about social reality, so I was a little anxious. I was so anxious that I didn’t want to think about it anymore, so I just let myself go in the world of domineering CEOs... I finally understand why everyone likes to read domineering CEO stories, and I love to write them too.]

Linlang: [The reason you love may be different from the readers...]

The implication is that what other readers want to enjoy is being madly pampered by rich people, but you just go against their routine because you just want to go crazy.

However, the reason why she recommended this article to Jiang Baige was because she had read too many Mary Sue and domineering articles, and she found this one refreshing.

After all, Linlang now has no idea how popular anti-routine literature will be in the future. If there are no twists and turns in a chapter and any part of the process is guessed by countless readers, it can be considered that the author Jiang Niang has exhausted her talent.

Linlang: [So what realistic issues do you want to write about? ]

Jiang Baige: [Trafficking in women.]

Linlang's mind suddenly flashed back to the social news she had read not long ago. It seemed to be about a place called Xuyang. Later, in-depth news investigations seemed to mention that the first people to realize that something was wrong were a few students who were traveling there...

Linlang: [You are so amazing... Is it related to the previous news about Xu Yang? I saw it in the news.]

Jiang Baige: [Actually, I also have selfish motives. I wrote a story about a girl's revenge on my second account before, and then I never wrote anything similar again. A classmate of mine wanted to publish that article, so I thought that if I could enrich the content of that column, it would be much easier to negotiate various copyrights, both this time and in the future.]

Linlang: [Really! Although opening a smurf account can prevent readers from arguing over different styles, it is really inconvenient for maintaining a pen name.]

Jiang Baige: [Yes, I have an article that I want to write that can be put in a column now. It would be a pity if I don’t try.]

Linlang: [I believe you can do it, come on! ]

***

A week passed quickly, and it was the day they had agreed to discuss the novel. Gui Hongyan was a very serious person, and she sent a message to Jiang Baige a day in advance, saying that she had finished reading the novel.

Seeing the teacher so serious, Jiang Baige became even more nervous and couldn't sleep well at night.

Not only that, when she shared with everyone in class about her previous experiences with Song Siwen and others in Fengshui County and Wangnan Village, she was so nervous that she didn't dare to look Gui Hongyan in the eye.

After saying this, he hurried away amid the applause of his classmates.

She had no recollection of what everyone said afterwards or what Teacher Gui said; it was almost a blank.

Until the end of get out of class.

She followed Gui Hongyan like a chick. It was the same process as last time, going to eat first. This time, Jiang Baige volunteered to use her meal card. Gui Hongyan wanted to refuse, but she said, "Teacher, I also have royalties."

After these words were spoken, Jiang Baige couldn't suppress her pride.

Seeing the student like this, what reason did Gui Hongyan have to refuse? She simply ordered two more dishes to show her respect.

After eating and drinking, Jiang Baige walked back to the hospital office, and her tension was relieved. When she arrived at the office, she was not as unfamiliar as last time. She saw the tea leaves and cups on the coffee table, as well as the kettle next to it, and started to make tea.

"Your novel... I haven't finished reading it, actually."

Gui Hongyan was very sincere, but this sincerity made Jiang Baige's hand, which was holding the teacup to her mouth, pause suddenly, and some tea spilled out due to inertia. Jiang Baige hurriedly put down the teacup and went to get a tissue.

In fact, she expected it.

But when I really heard it, I couldn't help but feel sad. I even started to doubt myself three times in just a dozen seconds: Am I really not talented?
