   Everyone comes into this world with their own unique mission and responsibility. When I developed a preordained, almost divinely ordained, awareness of the need to write during my unknown formative years, the dream of writing novels began to sprout in my mind. Thus, I slowly began to outline the framework of a story. I've always felt that people should do something, or leave something behind, while living. Of course, this has nothing to do with money. Writing novels, for me, is also a process of growth through education and experience. From having no clue at the beginning to becoming increasingly proficient, although it was painful and frustrating, I felt incredibly gratified when it was finally finished. Perhaps I crave recognition and attention, but that's not really important. Because my first novel was written for myself, a novel to prove myself. Therefore, my first novel, *The Unwilling Heart*, was completed without a contract. Some people have read my novel and said that those 3.32 million words are no small feat. To be honest, it truly wasn't easy. Spanning six years, all my efforts in life have been for this novel. The reason I was able to continue writing was because I had accomplished nothing and wanted to accomplish something. Perhaps everyone is selfish. But this selfishness doesn't prevent me from searching for the meaning of my life. Therefore, after finishing "The Unwilling Heart" and failing to find a job, I'm preparing to continue writing novels. "Xing Ai" was conceived in 2019, and I don't care about whether it gets a contract or not. However, I am especially grateful to Qidian, a platform under Yuewen.com, for launching the mobile writer assistant. Here, I can pursue my hobbies anytime, anywhere. At the same time, I need to be constantly vigilant and not confine myself to a shell. Because when facing real life, I still have to solve the problem of survival. At least as long as I can't support my dreams, I should face life realistically. Actually, I initially published "The Unwilling Heart" on Qidian. Due to my limited writing skills, there were no more opportunities for a contract by the time I was almost finished, so after completing it, I signed a contract with Tomato. This book, after six years of refinement, still contains some punctuation errors, misplaced words, grammatical mistakes, and grammatical errors, but the ideas expressed do not detract from its overall readability. I want to recommend "An Unwilling Heart" to everyone, partly because I put a lot of effort into it, and partly because it has performed well in terms of readership on other platforms. Therefore, I'm going to sing its own praises. I hope interested readers will offer criticism and corrections, which I will humbly accept and use to refine the essence of my second book. Finally, I am very grateful to all the readers who have followed "An Unwilling Heart."
