I write novels in Liyue

Beidou snorted coldly.
"What do you think, traveler? Of course, I won't let you help me for nothing; I will give you the full amount of compensation you are due."
Ningguang said with a faint smile.
"No problem, no problem, Morana is fine."
Paimon said excitedly.
"Yes, no problem."
Ying nodded and said.
"Alright, Baiwen, you take them to the publishing house."
Ningguang smiled and said.
"Miss Ningguang, let me accompany the travelers."
Gan Yu said.
"That will work too."
Ningguang nodded and said, "Then I'll trouble you."
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Ying, Paimon, and Ganyu set off together, escorted by Baiwen, leaving only Ningguang and Beidou in the room.
"Traveler, the Yae no Miko you're talking about, is she the priest of Narukami Shrine?"
Gan Yu asked softly.
"Oh? Miss Gan Yu, you know her too?"
Paimon asked, puzzled.
"Yes, before Inazuma closed its borders, I was in charge of liaising with her regarding all matters between Liyue and Inazuma. In the past, she would bring me fresh sea lingzhi as a gift when we met."
Gan Yu nodded and said, "I'm with you all this time because I want you to do me a favor."
"What kind of help do you need? Just tell me."
Paimon said.
“A few days ago, after Inazuma and Liyue resumed trade, she sent me a letter. I had already drafted a reply and was about to send it, but if you are going to Inazuma, could you please help me deliver it?”
Gan Yu said.
"Don't worry, no problem, leave it to us."
Paimon patted his chest and said.
"Ah."
Ying nodded.
They chatted as they went to the publishing house, and quickly finalized the plan with the editor-in-chief.
On each issue's release date, if Fang Qiu's book is being published, travelers will send sample copies to Inazuma Yaedo, where Yaedo will then proofread and print them.
Just to be on the safe side, Paimon added that they would visit Mondstadt every now and then, and if Fang Qiu's books were selling well there, they could also contact them.
The publisher's editor-in-chief naturally did not refuse, but instead told her to contact Fang Qiu's editor, Bai Qing.
The arrival of the renowned Traveler, Paimon, and the Liyue Sept's chief secretary in the editorial office immediately drew the attention of all the editors present.
Many editors also asked the travelers for photos and autographs.
However, when the editors heard that they had discussed with Bai Qing about sending Fang Qiu's book to Daoqi Channel ahead of schedule, they were all stunned.
The famous traveler actually came for this?
Moreover, on the release date of each issue featuring Fang Qiu's book, Fang Qiu's book had to be delivered to Inazuma separately in advance.
Although I knew Fang Qiu was very famous, I never imagined it would be to this extent.
Bai Qing was also surprised. She was still in shock at meeting the Traveler, Gan Yu, and Paimon. When she heard their words, she couldn't quite process what they were saying.
She only realized what had happened after the traveler and Gan Yu left.
After agreeing on the arrangements for transporting the books, they left the editorial office of the publishing house and then received Gan Yu's reply to Yae no Miko.
As for the situation in Mondstadt, we'll check back tomorrow.
They are now going to help Yun Jin deliver the invitations for tonight to Fang Qiu and Shen He.
"Speaking of which, I wonder if Fang Qiu's book is popular in Mondstadt."
Feeling the refreshing breeze on his face, Paimon said.
"There shouldn't be any problem."
Ying followed the wind and looked into the distance.
The wind is blowing in Mondstadt.
……
At this moment, Mondstadt was bustling with activity.
Even in broad daylight, the taverns were bustling with business.
Among them, Angel's Gift and Cat's Tail Tavern were the most popular, and both taverns were packed with people.
However, the atmosphere in the tavern was not as lively and enthusiastic as before; instead, it was somewhat somber, with almost all the patrons drowning their sorrows in alcohol.
Many people got completely drunk.
"Fang Qiu's novel '5 Centimeters Per Second' really touched my heart. Casey, if I had been braver back then and confessed to you before we parted, would our ending have been different...?"
"Cherry blossoms fall at a speed of five centimeters per second. How fast are you leaving...?"
"If we are destined to part ways, I would rather we had never met in the first place, so that at least I wouldn't be sad."
The group drank in silence.
Another place where business is booming is the major bookstores.
The queues were almost completely full.
"My goodness, this line is so long! We'll be waiting until night just to get in line! Don't they have jobs?"
"I told you all a long time ago to buy Fang Qiu's entire set of books at once, but you didn't listen. Now you know what trouble you're in, right?"
"How could we have known that even Miss Barbara would come to buy Qiu's books!"
"However, to be fair, Fang Qiu's 'Eternal Ship' is truly excellent. It vividly depicts both the brilliance and darkness of humanity, and the epic love story between Rose and Jack is deeply moving!"
"However, isn't it a bit inappropriate for Ruth to go back on her engagement to a nobleman?"
"You can't say it like that. You have to think about it. Rose was forced to be with someone she didn't like, which is itself a form of oppression by the nobility. That's why Rose wanted to end it all with her death. If Jack hadn't come along, Rose would already be dead."
"That's true, it's all the fault of the old aristocracy!"
"Speaking of which, I saw that woman from the Lawrence family reading this book a few days ago. I don't know where she got the nerve to read 'Eternity'."
"Indeed, reading a book with her made me feel really unwell."
"I saw that she bought Fang Qiu's book, so I didn't want to buy it anymore, which made me have to come and queue up today."
“Hey, you can’t say that. I thought so too at first, but a couple of days ago, after I finished watching ‘Eternal’ and went to Cat’s Tail Tavern for a drink, I heard what Captain Qin said. After thinking about it carefully, I realized that Yura might not be a member of the Lawrence family as we know her.”
"What did the ensemble leader say?"
Everyone looked at them with puzzled expressions.
"She said that Yura is like Rose from 'The Eternal.' In the book, Rose was willing to jump overboard and commit suicide to rebel against her noble family, and Yura also joined the Knights. When Jack took Rose to a banquet for the lower classes, those oppressed people, just like we used to be, looked down on Rose, thinking she was an upper-class noblewoman and despising them from the bottom of their hearts. But later, after they got to know her well, they realized that Rose was just an ordinary girl, and then they naturally accepted her. Whether it was the Knights or the Deer Hunters, they all seemed to think Yura was pretty good. So, I was thinking, are we too stereotypical about Yura? Without even trying to understand her, we blindly assume that she is guilty. If we think that someone is born guilty, then what is the difference between us and those old nobles of Mondstadt?"
His words silenced many of those around him who had just been speaking ill of Yura.
Many of them had seen "Eternal" and knew the plot that the man had just described.
And it is.
In Fang Qiu's writing, when Ruth first arrived at the banquet, the entire banquet fell silent.
Later, when they learned that Ruth was not some arrogant and stubborn noblewoman, they happily accepted her into the family.
And what about them...?
When Yura first joined the Knights, not only other shops, but even the Deer Hunters wouldn't sell her anything to eat...
Many of them had seen Yura hunting, living, and cooking in the wild.
"What you said makes some sense. Oh well, I'll be nicer to her next time."
"Me too……"
“I need to see her character again. I still don’t trust the old nobles, not because of bloodline, but because she grew up in that environment and was inevitably influenced. In Liyue’s words, it’s called being influenced by what you see and hear. Of course, if she is a good person, I can treat her better.”
“That makes sense. We shouldn’t blindly let our guard down. After all, she is a descendant of sinners. However, we can’t condemn everyone based on one example. Let’s try to understand her. If she is really like Ruth, we don’t need to be hostile.”
"I really love the book 'Eternal'. Rose is like a caged bird, trapped in a cage, yearning for freedom. That's why she falls for Jack, who is as free as the wind."
"Yes, it's just a pity that the ending was too tragic. It made me, a grown man, cry so much. I sincerely wish them happiness."
"My assessment of 'Eternal' is that it is an epic love story set against the backdrop of the wind. If it were a real-life story, it would be enough to inspire bards to write hymns of freedom for them."
The people in line were talking amongst themselves, but their words were overheard by two figures, one in blue and one in red, who were passing by.
"That's great, everyone is re-evaluating their attitude towards you, Yura."
Amber said with a smile.
I'm in a very good mood.
"Hmph, I'll remember this grudge."
Yura crossed her arms over her chest, turned her head away, and said.
"However, I didn't expect that although Director Qin had explained it to you before, it didn't have much effect. This time, it has such a great effect. It seems that Fang Qiu's book deserves a lot of credit."
Amber stroked her chin, thought for a moment, and then said.
"Hmph, I'll remember this grudge too."
Yura frowned slightly and said.
"Hehe, in the words of the Traveler and Paimon, that's just being a tsundere."
