The novel is now officially published; I humbly ask for your support with a first-chapter subscription.

This is my first book since returning to Qidian. After two grueling months, I have finally pushed through the hardships and am once again facing the launch of a paid subscription. Since 2008, I have been swimming in the deep sea of web literature for seven or eight years. Though my results have fluctuated—with past glories and current slumps—I can honestly say that no matter the circumstances, I have never abandoned a story mid-way.

Furthermore, since this book is a buyout project, there is absolutely no chance of it having a rushed ending or being left unfinished. Please rest assured and subscribe; I will pour my heart and soul into writing this, doing my utmost to depict a Great Tang dynasty that is truly unique in my mind.

With a base of fewer than ten thousand followers, as a veteran author, I can already guess the subscription results. I dare not hold high expectations, nor will I compete for monthly tickets. I only ask that you, my brothers and sisters, spend a few cents to subscribe. If you find the story acceptable, please feel free to cast a few free recommendation votes my way.

I do not dare to ask for anything that requires spending money beyond that.

All I ask for is a single subscription and a free vote.

Today is the first day of the launch, so I must write three chapters. I am releasing two now, and the third will be updated sometime after ten o'clock.

I humbly request your initial subscription!

My deepest thanks to you all!
