All the Big Shots Are My Secret Identities

I've decided to take the story out of paid serialization. I'm really sorry it took so long. I kept clinging to the hope that I could finish it, telling myself I'd eventually find time to update. But I overestimated myself, and wore down my readers' trust. I'm truly sorry. Every time I updated, I had to reread the previous chapters, and then I would get caught in a spiral of self-loathing. The plot and writing are awful, and the characters are too one-dimensional. I kept thinking about starting over and revising the whole thing. I've written several different versions of the opening in my drafts, but scrapped them all because I kept rewriting, and never finished revising any of them, so I never posted them. I've been struggling with this for the past two months, but in the end I decided to take it out of paid serialization. I'm exhausted, and I don't want to revise it anymore. The biggest problem was that I didn't plan an outline before starting. I began the story on nothing but enthusiasm, and it ended up like this. I'm truly sorry. I won't abandon this story. I'll keep writing it slowly after it becomes free to read, just as a bit of a diversion. I won't keep agonizing over the plot or word choices anymore. I'm exhausted. I'm truly sorry. But given my terrible track record, updates will probably be very slow. Read at your own pace, and sorry. Spiritual qi revival + mastermind behind the scenes + secret identity split-personality maniac [No secret identities will be exposed. Never. Not even at the end.] Original title: "A Hymn to the Birth of a New World" Qihai Qiyue wakes up one day to find that he has lost all his memories.

When people around the world think they've caught a glimpse of its tail and start investigating, they discover the truth hidden for who knows how many centuries: a supernatural world concealed in another corner of the world's shadows. Unremarkable shops tucked away in quiet corners may look like umbrella shops, mask shops, or bars, but once you open a hidden mechanism, you'll find the branch of a supernatural organization inside.

They seem to appear out of nowhere, without warning, but in fact they've always been hiding among you. No one simply noticed. They are the shadows of the world, working behind the scenes and quietly protecting humanity so it can endure.
