Release Announcement!!!!

Brothers, this novel will officially launch on June 1st—just four hours from now!

Although I’m not a new author and this isn’t my first time having a book go live, my heart is still filled with nervous anticipation. How well will it do? We’ll find out in just four hours!

Let me share the update schedule after the launch.

Tonight, at launch, there will be five chapters released. From then on, there will be three chapters updated daily. The five chapters for tonight are nearly finished, and they’ll be uploaded promptly at midnight. I humbly ask for your support, dear readers!

As for extra chapters… Since this book has gained a decent following during its new release period, my expectation is to reach five thousand first-time subscriptions!

If we surpass that goal, there will be bonus chapters. If not, well, I’ll just have to eat my words and pretend I never mentioned it…

After the book goes live, it’s inevitable that some readers may drift away, but I sincerely hope you’ll support the official release!

Thank you all so much!

Ahem, now for the book recommendations (time to repay some favors). Here are a few novels written by friends—feel free to check them out if you’re interested:

1. “Ming Dynasty: A Dutiful Son Sells Out His Father for Glory” — Written by a friend, set in the Jiajing era, with the protagonist as Yan Shifan’s son. Worth a look!

3. “The Saintly Grandson of Great Tang!” — A new book by a friend, very well-written, with the protagonist as Li Chengqian’s son. Highly recommended!
4. “Returning to the Flourishing Tang as a Warrior” — Set in the Tang Dynasty, another excellent read that has topped the historical new books chart for quite some time!
