The Little Madman Came Back and Won't Stop Chasing Me

[This book has been taken off paid access. My first attempt at a plot-driven story failed. After struggling for months, I still can't write, no matter how much sleep I lose. I'll manually refund all the fan-voted tickets for this work. (All tickets were refunded at 1:05 p.m. on March 1, 2023. If I missed yours, please let me know. I'll refund it after verifying.) If inspiration doesn't strike, I probably won't update this book again. I beg you not to start reading it. *Bows* Left at 9:22 a.m. on March 1, 2023.] [Notice: The book will probably be taken off paid access. I'm truly sorry to everyone for making you wait and disappointing you. I haven't managed to write a single word of this book to this day. This apocalypse story was my first attempt at a plot-driven novel, but I don't have the ability to pull it off. Writing it always felt exhausting, and now I can't even write a single sentence. The book was actually nearing its conclusion. At most, there were about a hundred thousand words left, and I had a very clear picture of the ending in my head. I wasn't stuck, but I just couldn't put the words together. I'm extremely anxious. This is the fifth night in a row I've been unable to sleep, and I can't get any proper rest at all. A while ago, I realized something was wrong with my state of mind, so I started writing a second book, a romance, to help improve my mood. I'd done that before and managed to feel better, and neither book had ever gone on hiatus. I thought I could do it this time too, but I just can't. Since I started writing, I've never abandoned a book, so I really wanted to finish this one. The beginning of every book is something I love. I love Yao Lingzhou, Ji Xun, and every character in the story. I want them all to have their own endings and go on living in their own parallel worlds. But I truly can't force myself to write. That would be irresponsible, both to myself and to you, my dear readers. I don't know why I've suddenly come to a halt when it comes to putting words together. Maybe I'm simply not suited to writing plot-driven stories. After much thought, I informed my editor that I plan to take the book off paid access. If I'm still unable to finish the ending three months from now, the book will automatically be taken off paid access and the points refunded. Thank you all for supporting me along the way. I'm sorry to have disappointed you. *Bows.* Left on November 29, 2022.] ★ Completed works in my catalogue: How Can a Beta Avoid Being Marked? and He Went Crazy After I Changed My Love Interest [Showbiz].

During the first semester of his sophomore year, Xuan Congnan was pursued by an exceptionally gentle man. During the second semester, Xuan Congnan and Shen Qian got together. They dated for a year. Shen Qian was just as gentle as ever, but he often said things like: "Don't smile." "Be quiet." "Don't be so rowdy." "Don't let your eyes show any warmth." "Then you'll be just like him." Xuan Congnan: ...Oh. Xuan Congnan left, decisive and unburdened. That night, though, he found a young man who looked utterly down on his luck by the side of the road. The guy's eyes were drooping, his face was covered by a mask, and he sat quietly beside a flower bed, apparently basking in the moonlight. This guy was certainly quiet. He didn't smile or make a fuss, and there was no warmth in his eyes. Xuan Congnan took him home. He discovered that the young man, Gu Shi, was actually a top-tier star in the entertainment industry. Xuan Congnan just didn't follow showbiz, so he'd mistakenly brought home someone with tens of millions of fans. Xuan Congnan also discovered that although Gu Shi was excessively aloof, he was direct enough to ask, "Can I like you?" Although Gu Shi was quiet and never made a fuss, he was direct enough to ask, "Can I hug you?" And although Gu Shi's eyes held little warmth, he was direct enough to ask, "Can we..." Xuan Congnan: So this is what being a top-tier star is like? After living together for a while, the two naturally started dating. After living together for a while longer, Xuan Congnan suddenly learned that Gu Shi was the unattainable white moonlight Shen Qian had loved. Xuan Congnan: ...Fate, huh. To avoid an awkward situation, he packed his bags and prepared to run away again. Just as he reached the door, he heard it open. Gu Shi came in, bringing the cold air from outside with him, and gently shut the door. Xuan Congnan: ... Gu Shi's cool gaze swept over him from head to toe, then landed on the suitcase. "Where are you going?" he asked. Xuan Congnan gripped the suitcase handle and was about to speak when Gu Shi added: "Are you trying to dump me?" That night, paparazzi photographed Gu Shi entering a rental apartment. Besides Gu Shi, the window reflected the figure of another man, with a suitcase beside him. Then Gu Shi, who never let his emotions show, suddenly shoved the suitcase aside, grabbed the other man's wrist, and took him into the bedroom. They didn't come out all night.
