They Couldn't Understand the Books I Wrote, but They Knelt Down to Read Them

Chen Mo wrote three books and was rejected three times. The editor said that his "writing style is old-school", "the pace is too slow" and "the readers cannot understand". Until that late night, he opened the yellowed ancient book on the bedside. Memories came flooding back - during the Zhenghe period of the Northern Song Dynasty, he was ordered to engrave the "Wanshou Taoist Canon" and spent 40 years of hard work writing a wonderful book. That book has not been handed down, and its name is "Nine Yin Manual". "The writing is old-school? The pace is too slow?" Chen Mo opened the author's backstage and typed four words: "Nine Yin Manual". On the first day, there was a quarrel in the book review section - "What the hell is this about?" On the seventh day, the number one hot search was - "Does anyone understand what the "Nine Yin Manual" says?" On the 30th day, the editor-in-chief of Qimao came to the door in person and asked with trembling hands: "Who are you?" Chen Mo showed him the only sentence in the author's introduction: "I am Huang Shang, and I have been ordered to write a book."
