I write novels in Liyue

Another hope is that publishers on both sides can open up channels to distribute their best-selling books to the other side.

Revenue from distribution channels will be split 50/50.

So they've been working overtime for several days now, all to take the Southern Cross fleet to sea and bring these books over.

"I see, I understand."

Fang Qiu nodded thoughtfully.

She's very familiar with distribution channels.

Urban pretentious novels are all about distribution channels. In her previous life, when she was still writing books, she often heard news that the big shots in the distribution channels were making millions of yuan a month.

That's absolutely terrifying.

Seeing that Fang Qiu understood, Bai Qing couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

This is quite complicated to explain. An hour ago, when she was explaining it to another author, that author actually asked her, "If the two publishing houses split the profits 50/50, who gets 50%?"

Upon hearing this, she was stunned for a long time...

After exchanging a few pleasantries, seeing that Bai Qing was very busy, Fang Qiu didn't disturb him any further. He placed the manuscript on Bai Qing's desk and then left.

After leaving the publishing house, Fang Qiu went straight home.

When I passed by the pastry shop, I also bought half a pound of lotus seed paste cake.

……

Time flows slowly.

Liyue Publishing House.

"Phew, finally finished proofreading."

Bai Qing let out a long breath, stretched, and felt the relief coming from her body. She couldn't help but groan softly.

The book she was proofreading was Xingqiu's "Chenqiu Picks Up the Sword".

To be honest, this was the first time she had ever read through Xingqiu's original manuscript with such messy handwriting.

Although I've finished watching it...

But she still doesn't understand how this book became such a hit in Inazuma...

Once, when she went to Wanwen Bookstore to observe readers' habits, she found that Xingqiu's self-printed "Chenqiu's Sword Record" was on the bookstall. She sat there for a whole afternoon. Even Fangqiu's original "Sword and Shadow" had two copies bought by two people.

That book, "The Record of Shen Qiu Picking Up the Sword," was clearly free, but nobody wanted it.

Someone did pick it up and glance at it, but after reading two pages, that person shook their head, muttering, "What garbage! I wouldn't even take it for free," and threw the book back.

But why did it become so popular as soon as it came to Inazuma that Yaedo, the publisher of Inazuma, took the initiative to contact Liyue's publisher?

This is utterly perplexing.

Does Inatsume really understand novels?

She rubbed her temples, turned her gaze to the window, and after the mental fatigue from reading Xingqiu's novel had subsided somewhat, she picked up Fangqiu's manuscript with anticipation.

Good novels can heal the soul.

However, the three crookedly written words "Eternal" on the original title made Bai Qing's temples throb again.

"Sigh...this handwriting..."

Bai Qing covered her forehead.

She originally thought that Fang Qiu's handwriting was so bad in her previous book, "Your Lie in April," because she was rushing to finish the manuscript.

Unexpectedly, the handwriting in this book is just as messy.

No change whatsoever...

"Fine, I'll just have to bear with it."

Bai Qing sighed.

So she turned to the first page of the original manuscript.

The story begins.

Just as Fang Qiu had told her a month ago, the story begins in the era of the old nobles of Mondstadt.

A massive ship, as large as a cliff, was moored at the harbor. At the harbor, a noblewoman named Ruth made her appearance.

She, her mother, and her fiancé Karl boarded the VIP cabin of the enormous ship.

In just a short passage, Bai Qing was once again amazed by Fang Qiu's writing skills.

Whether it's the grand and majestic description of the giant ship at the beginning, or the girl's dissatisfaction with aristocratic life and her own fate through indirect description, it is all vividly portrayed.

Even Ruth's fiancé, Carl, is vividly portrayed through a short conversation between Ruth's mother and Carl.

"Is this the unsinkable ship they were talking about?"

"Yes, it will never sink; even the wind god cannot sink it."

A seemingly elegant and composed, but inwardly arrogant and domineering, ignorant nobleman leaps off the page.

At the same time, it also demonstrated his wealth and power.

My carry-on luggage alone took up several rooms.

"As expected of Fang Qiu."

Aside from the slightly flawed handwriting, the writing style is simply impeccable.

Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Writing Style Has Improved Further

"Om."

The steel ship with four huge smokestacks hummed, and the scene shifted to a tavern in the port where the Eternal was docked.

Four young men were gambling around a table.

Jack and his companion gambled all the money they had, while two others gambled two tickets for the Eternal.

In the end, Jack won the bet by sheer luck and successfully boarded the Eternal.

Fang Qiu's portrayal of Jack is also excellent.

Especially after boarding the Eternal, Jack saw the passengers saying goodbye to the people in the port at the ship's railing, so he also ran to the railing to wave and say goodbye loudly.

His companion asked him.

Do you know anyone downstairs?

"No, but that's not important."

Bai Qing continued reading.

In Fang Qiu's writing, Jack and Rose seem to exist in two different worlds.

Ruth's side was quiet, elegant, luxurious, and spacious, filled with her favorite little-known but artistic paintings.

Like a cage.

One side is noisy, vulgar, simple, and narrow.

Like paradise.

Although the two are on the same boat, they form a strong contrast. It has to be said that Fang Qiu's writing style is even a step further than that of "Your Lie in April".

It's full of details.

Bai Qing nodded in satisfaction and continued reading.

Ruth loved to paint, but her fiancé was a vulgar man who only loved money and had no trace of a true aristocrat.

And so, the ship set sail.

Jack and his companions went to the bow of the ship to watch the fish swimming below leap out of the water.

He opened his arms, feeling the wind on his face, and felt as if he were flying.

time flies.

After his excitement subsided, Jack sat on the deck with his companions, where he picked up a paintbrush and began to paint.

At that moment, he saw Ruth, who had come out for some fresh air because of a disagreement with her aristocratic parents.

He was mesmerized.

His companion told him to give up the idea, because she was a noble girl.

Rose, who sensed Jack's gaze, merely glanced at him briefly before looking away.

At this moment, Ruth's fiancé Karl appeared, but Ruth did not give Karl a friendly look and turned to leave.

Upon seeing this, Bai Qing nodded.

If Rose were to develop feelings for Jack at first glance here, the story would inevitably fall into a cliché.

While Jack is handsome, for a girl like Rose, looks and money are not what she's after.

Rather, it's talent and understanding.

That's why she doesn't like her fiancé.

That night.

Jack sat on a deckchair on the deck, smoking. He looked at the starry sky and couldn't help but recall the sorrowful noblewoman he had seen during the day.

Just then.

Rose, who was planning to jump into the sea to commit suicide, happened to pass by the spot where Jack was lying.

She climbed over the gunwale, looking at the cold, dark sea and hesitating whether to jump.

Just then, Jack called out to her.

"If you jump, then I'll jump too."

This was the first conversation between the two.

Then Jack told Rose that the seawater was cold at night.
