Journal update #4

As for this, all eight chapters of my story have come to an

end. The story about Dai Mao and Qi Qin ushered in a good
dream. To be honest, I gave death to too many characters
along the way. I gave the character who died the ability to
live forever, but my heroine's brother's death I hope is to let
him die of natural old age. Because immortality is not a
happy thing. It gives them long years and infinite life and
death. Originally at the very beginning I always wanted to
give the heroine a tragic ending. I wanted her to escape the
long years. She had been through enough, but not until
chapter 8. I realized that maybe a good ending could have
offset all the previous suffering. For example, the meeting
with Qi Qin. The setting I gave Qi Qin is very vague, as you
can surely find out if you read. I barely talk about his
experience and personal character. Because he doesn't need
to be anyone, he could be anyone. Just appear in the
heroine's life as a rescuer.

When the inexplicable task of saving the world appears to

someone who has the ability to do it, will she do it? I pose
this question in this article. No doubt in many novels they
would do it. But I hope that in my novels, there is no need to
have the idea that such a thing must be done. Saving the
world should never be a wish imposed on anyone by anyone.
They have the right to make their own choices. Even if they
leave everything behind, they deserve it. I still ended up not
having the heroine save the world, but having her find
herself. It is never the world she needs to save in her journey
but herself. The white tower in the novel is something from a
dream I once had. It is a hollow cage, more like a spiritual
self-mapping. But in any case, they both came to a
conclusion, whether it was Qi Qin's love or the heroine's
self-salvation. Both succeeded.
