Glossary of the Beauty – Mirror and the Flower Tree
When I started writing Zhu Yan, it was back in October 2014. Before that, I had just used all my energy and power to concentrate and I managed to finish the “Forget River” that had been abandoned for six years. When I finished, I was exhausted and felt that I couldn’t give anymore, so I sat on the ground and decided to only focus on eating, drinking and having fun, and of course take a good rest. Just do nothing for a year. However, the inspiration always comes suddenly, no matter whether you want to lie flat or not, it took me back to the computer with a flash of thought, and I started digging pits endlessly.
At the time, I met people who were inspired by the Big Bang, as well as some of my classmates, one of which was a dear friend Fei.
Therefore, on the National Day of 2014, during the short seven-day holiday, Fei and I were in Hangzhou and Wuhan, separated by two computers, and started working as hard as we could without rest. Every day we went online to say good morning to each other, and then we worked relatively hard across the Internet, typing noisily, and often even eating our meals in front of the computer. Every night, exhausted, we had to compare the results first, to see who wrote more, say good night to each other, and then go to bed… Just like that, in 7 days, we wrote nearly 60,000 characters in one go (compared to “Forget Chuan”, which was only written in 1 year, I had such an explosive speed that I can be declared as the great god of the Internet typing).
This is the writing background of the beginning of “Zhu Yan”, Susa Haru’s bloody wedding Volume.
After that, I wrote more than two hundred thousand words in one go, and quickly finished the text before 2015, thinking that I would be able to complete the story in a few months. As a result, an accident happened: At the end of the first Volume, I wrote heartily. The mother nature showed her teeth, and I immediately lost the control of myself, I got set-up on a frenzied plot, and immediately forced all the characters in my pen into desperation (in order to avoid spoilers, I won’t go into details here. Yes, everyone will know after reading Zhu Yan’s Volume).
At that time, even the editor Xiaoxie, who had read countless manuscripts before, exclaimed after reading the first volume:
“Oh my God, how can you do it from here, after you write it like this?”
I snorted:
“What are you afraid of? This plot can absorb and can release; it can torture and can be sweet.” Since I can write a wide-open sentence such as “lilac knotted hibiscus sash”, you can get it back with the expression “No strings of pearls attached to a treasure sword”.
As a result, when I really went to write the volume, I found that I was indeed too bold… When the plot forwarding pushed all the characters to a desperate situation, the scrolling down was really difficult to write and sort out. It was almost an inch-by-inch advancing with painstaking effort.
In addition, the middle of the plot writing became boring, and I couldn’t help but run away and I started digging a new hole in the novel “Empty City” (completed), so now, it has been written for more than a year, and the second volume has not been finished yet. (covers the face in shame).
Stepmother is really bad, “sheds tears”.
Now that the creation of “Zhu Yan” has come to an end, this time I am determined to be a good mother and give you all a Happy Ending!
(Reader: No wonder you write so slowly! It turned out to be a “HE” this time? I can’t believe it!)
After the writing of “Zhu Yan”, not only will the Little Princess and the Great Priest have a happy ending, it will also complement the missing piece of the puzzle in the “Mirror” series, and will outline Somo’s short-term happiness in his childhood, so to speak. It can be regarded as the finale of the “Mirror” series.
Zhu Yan resigned from the mirror and the flower resigned from the tree. This magnificent series that has stretched for more than ten years it can be considered complete.
And I, having you with me in all these years that have passed, can say that I was never been alone.
Reading a farewell to the end of the world is suffering. Do not turn back, the non-stamen flower is like a promise. There is no word from the bottom of the flower, and the spring is in the twilight of the window, and the lovesickness is waiting to be told under the lamp, like the old hate for thousands of years. The most important thing is that the world can’t keep it, and Zhu Yan resigns to the mirror and flowers.
