Have you ever been a celebrity? Why are you writing about entertainment?

That happened a year ago.

Ishigami took a rope and looked for a suitable place to tie it, as the apartment building unexpectedly lacked such a suitable place to hang himself.

Finally, he had no choice but to hammer a large nail into the pillar and hang the rope tied in a circle on it to see if it could support his weight.

The pillar creaked, but the nails didn't bend and the rope didn't break.

He had no regrets.

There's no reason to die, and no reason to live; that's all.

Qi Luoan had heard this story from Yu Wei, but after seeing the ending with her own eyes, she still had mixed feelings.

Ishigami had contemplated suicide, but was saved by the arrival of Hanaoka and her daughter, and imagining their life together made him happy.

This joy is not mixed with any desire or fantasy, but is a pure love...

Ishigami had absolutely no desire to be associated with them. For him, being even remotely connected to something sublime was enough to bring him happiness, and mathematics was no exception.

Trying to gain fame will only damage one's dignity.

Helping the mother and daughter was a matter of course for Ishigami; without them, he wouldn't be who he is today.

The novel describes him not as taking the blame, but as repaying a debt of gratitude.

Many people think that Ishigami did these things because of love, but Qi Luoan feels that it's more than that.

Love does exist, otherwise Ishigami wouldn't have started paying attention to his appearance, but the reasons behind his "sacrifice" are far more complex than love.

Just like in the novel, this act is filled with love, gratitude, and a sense of protection. It is not just a small act of personal love, but also a way of expressing gratitude for the light of humanity in the world.

There was love involved, but it went beyond love; Qi Luoan couldn't quite put his finger on what it was...

A ray of light shines through a withered life, warming you every day. This light itself is indescribable, and everyone has their own answer.

But without a doubt, because of Ishigami's love, which far surpasses romantic love, his act of self-sacrifice is all the more moving.

In order to protect his loved ones, he not only sacrificed his own freedom and reputation, but also committed another, more serious crime, dragging an innocent person into this tragedy.

This extreme love, where one would become a demon for the sake of others, is both touching and terrifying.

On social media, the ending of "The Devotion of Suspect X" has become a trending topic, not only because of its own brilliance, but also because of Yu Wei's own popularity.

The second "Chen-Yu battle," which was originally at the center of controversy, ironically became fuel for the novel's popularity, attracting more readers to the book.

This flexible approach of switching tracks left Lao Qi and his family speechless. Everyone praised him as the new generation leader of Chinese music, so why didn't he just go and write books?
As long as he changes careers quickly enough, no amount of idolization can catch up with him...

In this respect, Yu Wei is exactly the same as the protagonist in his novels; when faced with a problem, they both decide to introduce a new variable.

However, Ishigami committed murder, and Yu Wei merely used the ending of a novel to reiterate his identity as a writer.

Using new, even unrelated, trending topics to divert netizens' attention is the secret to Yu Wei's continued success in avoiding being mythologized.

The question is, what if Yu Wei is deified again in the field of novels?
The answer is no, because whenever netizens have this thought, Yu Wei will bring them back to reality with a brand new chapter of his entertainment novel.

This thing is really hard to blow up...

Qi Luoan remembered very clearly that when Yu Wei first defeated Chen Laodeng, he successfully extricated himself by releasing "Malice".

The same applies this time; when he gets caught up in the so-called power struggle in the entertainment industry, he uses his identity as a writer to exonerate himself.

He neither dodged nor avoided the issue, but instead forged a path that other celebrities had never explored, leaving netizens with nowhere to pinpoint his target – a blatant and open strategy.

Yu Wei can write books that other celebrities can't. He's won. Let's stop arguing and move on...

This move is like a bug that disrupts the balance of power; once it's mentioned, it kills everyone's interest.

Then what's the point of fighting? You've won.

At this moment, Yu Wei, who was watching the drama unfold online, was filled with questions.

What Spring Festival Gala documentary, what leading figure? He just secluded himself and typed a few words, yet it feels like a century has passed.

He didn't know what was going on; he was praised without his knowledge, and then the praise inexplicably ended...

Never mind, it's alright as long as nothing happens. Compared to that, he's more concerned about everyone's opinions on the novel's ending.

The ending of The Devotion of Suspect X is arguably one of the most shocking endings in the history of detective fiction.

Ishigami, in prison, thought he had everything under control, perhaps even working out the Four Color Theorem on the wall, waiting to be convicted so he could make his final sacrifice.

However, instead of receiving notification that the case was closed, he received news that Yasuko had come to turn herself in.

Upon learning that Yasuko had surrendered, Ishigami "let out a beast-like roar, a roar mixed with desperate and chaotic wails," "as if he were vomiting out his soul."

This roar is the final result of the conflict between logic and emotion throughout the novel.

It signifies that Ishigami's all-or-nothing sacrifice, his meticulously planned grand deception, and his self-destructive protection all vanished at the last moment.

He not only failed to protect Yasuko, but also dragged her into an even deeper tragedy.

This roar is the utter disorientation of a mathematical genius in the labyrinth of humanity, the lament of ultimate love shattered by the more complex realities of human nature. When Yu Wei first released "The Devotion of Suspect X," he used two phrases: "ultimate love" and "to what extent one can love someone."

The first half of the book calmly presents the reasoning, leaving readers wondering what it has to do with the advertised "ultimate love," only to be dealt a heavy blow by the ending.

Ishigami's love was too heavy, too humble, and too terrible.

The beginning of this book is actually quite similar to that of "Malice," both of which state who the murderer is and how the crime was committed.

Just when everyone thought "The Devotion of Suspect X" was going to pull another trick, it turned out to be a classic mystery in the end.

That's right, it's a classic mystery. Yu Wei said back then that this book was a classic mystery, but no one took it seriously, since "Malice" had nothing to do with classic mystery.

Who would have thought that he actually did it, and not just by following the script, but by writing an extremely innovative classic detective novel.

The book's mystery is hidden in the opening...

"Malice" was already very good, but I didn't expect it to reach new heights. Everyone is increasingly looking forward to what Yu Wei will write next.

"This is absolutely the best blind spot trick I've ever read. Yu Weizhen has a complete grasp of the reader's psychology. The only slightly unpleasant thing is that the homeless man is too pitiful; he's purely a tool. But that also shows Ishigami's ruthlessness. A masterpiece!"

"Ishigami's plan actually succeeded. If Yasuko hadn't been unable to get over her conscience in the end, this case would have truly ended with Ishigami as the murderer. Master of planning, I am in awe."

Looking at the screenshots of the book reviews sent by Qi Luoan, Yu Wei exclaimed that they had good taste and that he was unworthy of such praise, but he was very pleased with the resonance among the readers.

Of course, Qi Luoan posted this not just to praise himself, but also to make it easier for him to copy book reviews...

Yu Wei finished writing the ending in one go, and she can happily write for another month. By then, Yu Wei's next book will probably be coming out soon.

What should I write in my next book?

After "The Devotion of Suspect X" ended, the comments section was mostly filled with urging him to continue writing suspenseful mystery novels. With two books already published, Yu Wei has gained recognition from a large number of mystery fans.

Some readers suggested that he write a romance novel directly, and the ending, "the ultimate love," touched many people.

Logically speaking, after finishing these two books, I should continue to criticize Keigo Higashino, but it's really not appropriate to criticize his other works.

The storylines of "Journey Under the Midnight Sun" and "Miracles of the Namiya General Store" are too long, with the unique characteristics of the era and local customs of Sakura running through the entire story, and a lot of social background.

Some of the works also involve ethical issues, which are still too advanced for domestic readers.

Looks like I'll have to find someone else to fleece next time...

Yu Wei wasn't in a hurry to start a new project. He would wait until readers had digested the two books before writing anything else, and he would finish what he was doing.

Excellent works are just for fun; real writing requires online novels. He's only just started the fourth round of the entertainment novel competition, which is the perfect time for him to update his work like crazy.

The second match was between veteran musician Jiang Siheng and indigenous singer David Tao.

As the last veteran on the field, Jiang's strength is enough to secure second place or even first. If given the right song, his ability is no less than Shen Yutong's.

However, his opponent is no ordinary person either. People are still somewhat unfamiliar with David Tao, after all, his songs have not yet been released.

As one of the core selling points of Yu Wei's album, his third round of songs was still kept hidden, so much so that readers were completely unaware of his talent.

The competition is currently underway, and Yu Wei's album is about to be released, finally giving everyone a chance to glimpse the truth.

They blindly voted for Lin and Tao back then, so who knows what Wang Er's true strength is...?

Yu Wei's competition schedule was quite clever. Tao Jiji's competition was on the second day after the album was released, so that everyone's anticipation would not be spoiled.

Many people buy albums out of curiosity about Tao Wanglin's abilities. What if the competition comes first, and those whose curiosity has been satisfied stop buying them?

Selling albums before the competition will maximize profits. If the competition is exciting enough on the second day, it can also boost album sales.

Yu Wei is still shrewd and calculating, and he doesn't suffer any losses.

With 24 hours remaining until the pre-sale of Yu Wei's first solo album "The Sound of Books" begins, the number of pre-orders on digital music platforms has already exceeded 500 million.

Even after the Spring Festival Gala ended, pre-sales continued to rise, setting a new pre-sales record in just a few days, the highest in nearly ten years.

Because of today's "deification" event, this number has increased significantly once again, and many people who are not Yu Wei fans are planning to buy a copy to collect.

The debut album of the future music scene's number one artist has a certain collectible value even if it's just sitting there.

Although the attempt to create a god-like image ultimately failed, the increase in sales was a real and tangible result.

This is definitely the most anticipated music event in the Chinese music scene this year, and also a collective carnival in the social media age.

On the day the album went on sale, the music platform even conducted server stress tests in advance, simulating different scenarios ranging from 10 to 100 million requests per second.

Yu Wei's current popularity could potentially crash the server, so we have to be careful.

Meanwhile, undercurrents are already stirring in the secondary market.

"Proxy buying" services have emerged on second-hand trading platforms, which involve centralized procurement to secure better collectible serial numbers, with prices ranging from an additional 50 yuan to 300 yuan.

With only 10 minutes left until the release, netizens are already ready.

They peeked out and were instantly killed! (End of Chapter)
