I write novels in Liyue

"Oh, I see. I'll switch queues right away."

Hearing their conversation, many people present suddenly realized what was going on and switched lines.

This drew scorn and disgust from some young girls who liked Fang Qiushu.

superficial!

"I didn't expect that there would be a new issue of that book, 'I, the Twelfth Executor of the Fools.' It's written so realistically, it's like the Fools really are."

"Damn it, why didn't the author of 'Junior Sister, Be Gentle, It Hurts Senior Sister' hold a book signing event?!"

"Brother, although I also read that book, it's still outrageous to hold a book signing event for it. However, it seems there's a new issue of that book this time."

"After all, it's the Rongcai Festival. The authors at Yaedo are working at full speed to finish their manuscripts. There's a short-haired, beautiful female author next door who even forgot to eat because she was rushing to finish her manuscript. If her editor hadn't come to urge her, she would have almost starved to death at home."

"Novel authors really have a tough job; they have to work overtime to meet deadlines."

"It wasn't that hard. I overheard them talking when I passed by. That short-haired beauty had gone out to play and only realized there wasn't enough time when the editor came to give her an ultimatum... She brought it on herself and doesn't deserve any sympathy."

"Ah, that's true. Authors who miss deadlines should be locked in a dark room... Speaking of which, there were so many people at this book signing event. It felt like there were many more people buying books than on a typical book release day."

"That's for sure. This time, novel enthusiasts from three countries have gathered together."

"Speaking of which, who is that cuckolded woman who's at the top of Fang Qiu's list?"

"I don't recognize him. Judging from his attire, he looks a bit like someone from Mondstadt. He probably started queuing up yesterday..."

"That's too ruthless! Is he even human? But that guy obviously doesn't know that Fang Qiu is an old man. I'm looking forward to seeing the old man's expression."

"Speaking of which, how much longer is it? I can't wait any longer."

The crowd was buzzing with discussion, creating a noisy atmosphere. Despite the stares of many people present, Wendy didn't seem to care at all. He yawned and stretched.

Luckily, I didn't drink much yesterday, so I don't have a hangover headache.

I can finally have a good time reading today.

He looked at Yaeko, the editor-in-chief of Yaedo, who was standing with the editors not far away, and Yaeko returned his smile.

Yesterday, they had a great time drinking at the tavern and even discussed what to eat with their drinks.

The fried tofu tasted very good.

Although his wallet was also hit hard as a result, it dealt another severe blow to his wallet, which had been roaming around Inatsuma these past few days.

I really shouldn't have drunk outside...

The hotel is clearly free.

However, he still had money left to buy books, and not just one set. He planned to buy books and resell them to make a profit and get back all the money he spent on drinks last night.

Thinking of this, a smile involuntarily appeared on his lips.

He can still continue to have a wild time.

"Hmm...not bad, not bad at all. It seems the autograph session is quite popular. It was worth changing the schedule for the Rongcai Festival and holding the autograph session at the opening of the Rongcai Festival."

Yae no Miko nodded in satisfaction as she looked at the long lines of novel enthusiasts that stretched across the square.

"Editor-in-Chief, I still don't quite understand. What exactly is your intention in asking me to have someone spread the news that Fang Qiu is a decrepit old man... Do you have some deeper meaning behind this?"

Seeing that many novel enthusiasts who were behind Fang Qiu's queue had moved to other queues, Murata, who was standing behind Yae Shinji, couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

She was in charge of contacting Fang Qiu, who was incredibly beautiful.

It has absolutely nothing to do with the old man.

She doesn't understand.

Although those who switched teams would eventually buy Qiu's new book, she didn't understand the editor-in-chief's intentions.

"This inspiration came from a novel theory that Fang Qiu mentioned when we were talking about novels one night. It's called 'suppression before elevation'."

Yae no Miko narrowed her eyes slightly, and a smile unconsciously appeared on her lips. She said, "I'm really looking forward to seeing how those who switched teams react when they see Fang Qiushi."

In an instant, Murata understood everything.

I also understood what it means to first suppress and then elevate.

At that moment, she looked at those novel enthusiasts who had switched teams but still had expressions of self-satisfaction, her eyes filled with pity.

Is this... the price to pay for not liking the old man's autograph?

"Murata, how are the preparations at the photo studio going for tomorrow?"

Yae Shenzi said.

"Reporting to the editor-in-chief, the people from the publishing house already tested it once yesterday, and we will test it again today."

Murata said.

"That's good."

Yae no Miko's lips curled up even higher as she said, "I can't wait to see their expressions after they finish reading Fang Qiu's book."

……

P.S.: Although there were more side characters in this chapter, they were all used to convey information, lay the groundwork, and foreshadow events. After all, some uninteresting content was skipped and needed to be explained, otherwise the chapter would be dry and uninteresting. I've adjusted my sleep schedule, and I'll try to update more chapters starting tomorrow.

Chapter 358 She...is Miss Fang Qiu? (Part 2)

Watching the editor-in-chief's smile, which wafted like rosemary in the wind, Murata couldn't help but cover his forehead.

If the editor-in-chief is talking about someone else's book, she will feel that the editor-in-chief just wants others to see excellent works as soon as possible.

It's the desire to share.

But the editor-in-chief was referring to Ms. Fang Qiu's book...

Although Ms. Fang Qiu's book is indeed excellent, the editor-in-chief wants others to see it...

It's probably not out of any desire to share...

Although she hadn't seen it yet, it was "The Legend of Sword and Fairy"...

Rong Caiji seems to be heading in a strange and uncontrollable direction...

And so, time slowly passed.

Many authors have already arrived, and the atmosphere at the novel signing event is becoming increasingly lively.

However, neither Teacher Fang Qiu nor Teacher Zhen Yu have arrived yet.

Everyone eagerly awaited their arrival, while the soldiers of the Heavenly Territory, led by Kujo Sara, maintained order at the scene.

Kujo Sara also stopped and looked at the empty space, a hint of anticipation flashing in her eyes.

These past few days, she had been very curious whether the white-haired woman was Fang Qiu.

The answer will be revealed today.

However, at the same time, she was also somewhat conflicted.

Fang Qiu's autographed collector's edition book is limited to only two hundred copies...

She wanted it too...

Aside from the upcoming limited edition statue of Mikage Naruto, this is the thing she most wants to buy at the Rongcai Festival...

and……

Fang Qiu is taking way too long!

The book signing is about to start, why hasn't she arrived yet?

Just as she frowned, a commotion arose at the entrance of the Far Kingdom's Supervisory Office.

She followed the gaze of the crowd.

Then a young girl dressed in a blue robe, with short hair reaching her ears, a delicate face, and bright, charming eyes, walked into the Far Kingdom Supervisory Square.

"Wow...she's so pretty! I never expected an author to be so pretty...who is she?"

"Could it be that old scoundrel Fang Qiu?"

"How could that be? You have to believe my inside information, it's absolutely reliable. I can bet you a hundred moras that Fang Qiu, that old scoundrel, even if she were a woman, she couldn't possibly be this beautiful. Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

The crowd was buzzing with discussion.

Hearing the crowd's comments, Xingqiu walked somewhat awkwardly to his assigned autograph table.

When he sat down at the table with Teacher Zhenyu and a staff member handed him water, the entire venue erupted in cheers, especially the novel enthusiasts in Teacher Zhenyu's row.

"I... my goodness, this beautiful girl is actually Teacher Zhenyu!"

"Um... First of all, I don't have a fetish for wearing skirts together... Never mind, I just like women... Teacher Zhenyu is so beautiful... I want to..."

"Teacher Zhenyu, I'm your fan!"

"I want to be Teacher Zhenyu's dog! No, I am Teacher Zhenyu's dog."

The crowd erupted in excitement, with discussions rising and falling.

Xingqiu was not only somewhat embarrassed, but also a little uneasy...

The awkwardness stemmed from what these people said...

He's a man...

However, clarifying this now is clearly somewhat inappropriate...

It's best to contact Yaedo afterwards to handle it.

As for why I feel restless...

It was only because he claimed his purpose in coming to Inazuma was to assess the investment value of the chess game that his father agreed to let him visit...

And in Miss Fang Qiu's line, he saw Ah Xu also queuing up...

And Ah Xu saw him too...

Their eyes met.

It's a little awkward...
