    The reason I wrote this is simple—I wanted to tell a frustrating story. There are appealing things to feel in a wish-fulfillment novel; who wouldn't want to watch the protagonist crush everything in their path, enjoying a life of triumph and revenge? But reality isn't like that. More often than not, you're a temporary employee, not officially recognized, still doing the work, and the credit might not even go to you. Nobody gives you a cheat code; you have to wade through it all yourself. What Du Chao writes about is precisely this kind of wading. The protagonist doesn't defy fate; he just struggles repeatedly in the undercurrents, occasionally finding his footing only to be pushed back down. He's not a hero, nor a chess player; at best, he's a pawn placed on the chessboard, and this pawn is restless, always wanting to move. I know patience is rarer than passion these days. In this fast-paced era, who's willing to spend hundreds of thousands of words slowly grinding down a character? So, I sincerely thank everyone who reads this far. Your willingness to settle down is what keeps me writing. This won't make you happy, but I hope it makes you feel—"Hmm, this person is like me, I've been through this, I've overcome this hurdle." That's enough. The tide doesn't carry people across; people carry themselves across. Take it slow. —EggYangShizi
