I’m sorry. I really don’t want to do this, but I still have to tell you... Things haven’t gone according to plan. My work in the real world has been keeping me very busy, and I don’t expect to be able to maintain a stable update schedule for at least the next year or two. I started this story in 2021, but between the pandemic, illness, and changing jobs, it still isn’t finished. I finally thought I’d have more free time this year and confidently prepared chapters in advance, only to discover it was all wishful thinking. Sigh! Dragging this out would only waste my readers’ patience and my own enthusiasm, so it’s better to end it now than prolong the pain.
I’ve contacted my editor. The entire story will automatically be unlocked for free in three months, so if you haven’t bought it yet, please don’t spend any money on it. Readers who have already bought it will receive a proportional refund through the Jinjiang system at that time. Please keep an eye out for it. I’m very sorry, and thank you for supporting me all this time. Please believe me when I say that I deeply regret not being able to finish this story.
Sheng Jian Bao vs. Xiao Long Bao
2026.4.21
Born into a family of great wealth and prestige, renowned as a literary master and mighty warrior; he has drunk Lanling wine and tasted exquisite delicacies served on jade plates, chanted of dawn breezes and waning moons, and reveled with beauties on his lap; he has ridden a thousand-mile steed and sighed over a carved bow hanging on the wall. As a transmigrator, Li Chang’an can effortlessly compose poetry and prose and invent new things, seemingly destined for a bright, rich, and glamorous future. He has no apparent reason to raise the banner of rebellion.
Yet beyond the beautiful scenery of Jinling’s jade-green trees and Qinhuai’s waterside pavilions, have you ever seen a mother sell her children? Have you ever seen children left with their families destroyed? Have you ever seen loyal ministers betrayed? Have you ever seen people starve to death from illness and hunger?
With natural disasters striking one after another, a foolish emperor on the throne, eunuchs monopolizing power, aristocratic clans embroiled in factional strife, and foreign invaders at the gates, this glittering world has long been a place where the people can barely survive!
We are born human, and Heaven has decreed that we are not cattle or horses. If this world leaves us no way to live, then our only choice is to carve one out with the steel blades in our hands!
The realm is so beautiful. If you can’t govern it well, then let me do it!
Warning 1: The protagonist is the perfect combination of idealist and realist: a drama queen and a show-off, romantic yet heartless, nosy and cold-blooded, switching seamlessly between black-hearted white lotus and ruthless schemer. Don’t expect anything from him. Don’t expect anything from him. Don’t expect anything from him! Important things must be said three times!
Warning 2: In the author’s opinion, the heroes who rescue the people from suffering and overthrow old dynasties are fundamentally alike: they are willing to sacrifice and devote themselves, feel compassion for the suffering of all living beings, and despise the corrupt and shameless powerful. If you can’t agree with this, steer clear. This story isn’t for you!
Warning 3: This story is set in a fictional world! A fictional world!! A fictional world!!! All the worldbuilding is up to me! Thank you!

Unexpectedly, Bao stopped writing. I'm still waiting to write a new article. I have known you since Song Qingshu. To be honest, I really like your writing style. I wanted to wait for you to finish the book "The Founding King" and read it together, alas. Many of my favorite old authors no longer write, which is really disappointing.
I feel like readers have gotten used to it being updated every few months. . I'm very touched to be able to resume updating once a month this year. After reading this article, I was still unsatisfied and went to read the previous articles. It was really a qualitative leap. I hope to live a good life now, and when I retire, have wealth, and have free time, I hope to give Changan a real ending, instead of letting Changan stay forever on this day of separation.
Hug my wife, because I have been very busy in the past two years and three dimensions, so I understand very well 😭 I received a rebate from JieV today. I would like to express my feelings for my beloved articles and my wife's hard work. No matter when you are willing to come back to open a hole or fill in the old holes, even if you just share some other small side stories in the future, it's okay to give an outline, as long as you are still willing to come back and read it 🥺
Alas, this is the only article in Jinjiang that my subscription has been automatically renewed. Been waiting. In the end, I was defeated by reality, which was quite sad. I am True Love, and the male protagonist's character is really typical of someone who knows the world but is unsophisticated. The story is exciting, and the characters have their own unique characteristics. The author's writing style is really good. Jinjiang is now full of good authors who have been defeated by reality one by one and become rubbish.
It's a pity indeed. It's a good article. The only pity is that maybe the author's income will be several times higher if it is written as a Danmei article. Now the author has said that he will give up the update and it's completely screwed up 😂. It's such a pity. The writing structure, plot and characters are all very good. After reading the author's previous works, I feel that this article is a breakthrough work with great potential. It's a pity to give up. 😂 But three-dimensional life is fundamental, and indeed three-dimensional things are more important. Hey, it's just a pity for this article.
Although I have long been prepared for Zhong Li to be offline, the plot is still a bit melancholy at this point. The Zhong family has never been the protagonist's teammate from the beginning, or rather a hindrance. But as a young, innocent and innocent girl, Zhong Li's death in troubled times is very pitiful. She has left all her relatives. Of course, her tragedy is also caused by her relatives being dominated by fame and fortune. Another pity is that Zhong Li seems to have gained a lot, but he never has the ability or method to protect himself. It is even ironic that Zhong Li's death will become an excuse for Chang An's emotional injury to not easily establish a queen.
Madam, when will it be completed? 😭
Come on, I can update it again when I have time 😭
Ah, hey, will there be a chance to come back in the future?
It's rare to catch an update. I've almost forgotten the previous plot. Zhong Tang thinks he's arrogant, but in fact he doesn't have any good looks and can't see the situation clearly.
