Nan Nan was a nobody of an author.
Then one day, a string of unread messages appeared on her Weibo account, which had only three zombie followers.
[OP: When are you going to update again?]
[OP: Did you abandon the story?]
Looking at the messages, Nan Nan was a little confused. All she'd done lately was take the civil service exam, and she'd gone a month without updating. Did she already have a superfan?
She gave a quiet cough and was just about to compose a grandiose reply when another message came through:
[OP: Your writing isn't good and your skills still need work, but you can at least build a reputation for being someone who doesn't abandon their stories.]
Nan Nan: Go to hell!
[OP: Ten million. Finish the story.]
Nan Nan sneered and typed out a whole string of words, then finally sent a single reply:
[Idiot]
Nan Nan thought it was just a little hiccup in her life, until she received a bank transfer notification the next day:
[Ms. Nan, 10,000,000 has been deposited into your bank card ending in ****. Your balance is 10,000,000.1 yuan.]
Nan Nan: Is someone using my account to launder money?
As if to prove her right, a threatening text message arrived moments later:
[OP: Keep writing, or I'll kill him.]
It came with a photo of a man Nan Nan had never met, yet knew intimately, a man who had appeared in her mind countless times while she was planning the story. He was tied to a stool, and his arm was still bleeding.
That was her precious boy, her male lead, Gu Weiyin.
This was beyond the pale!
