Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Everyone present was shocked by Luo Mingxue’s words.
How was it possible for a man to give birth?
It was impossible for such a plot to appear in Master Wang’s book. Chancellor Luo must be lying
Seeing that no one believed him, Luo Mingxue became even angrier.
“If you don’t believe me, you can see for yourself. As the Chancellor of the Directorate, do I have to lie about such a thing?”
Wei Liao said with a faint smile.
“But you refused to review Master Wang’s new book. We couldn’t see it even if we wanted to, so we naturally couldn’t be sure if what you said was true.” The book fans echoed.
“That’s right, that’s right! We’ve never read Master Wang’s new book.
Naturally, we’ll have to take your word for it!”
“Even if you degrade Master Wang’s book to nothing, we won’t be able to find evidence to refute it. After all, we won’t be able to see the new book.”
“If you really have a clear conscience, let Master Wang’s new book be published. After we see the new book with our own eyes, we’ll naturally know if you’re telling the truth.”
Chancellor Luo was so angry that his chest heaved. He could not say anything for a long time.
He did not understand how a cliché plot like the Seven Treasures Record could attract so many book fans.
Now that these book fans were focused on Master Wang at the Village Entrance, they could not listen to anything others said.
In the end, he was caught in the middle.
What was he after?
Wasn’t it to protect everyone and not let a lousy book like “The Record of the Phoenix Cry Nation” poison the commoners’ eyes and worldview?!
He was kind to others, but they did not appreciate it.
In that case, there was no need for him to be this evil person anymore!
Chancellor Luo made up his mind and said almost angrily.
“Alright! Since you insist on reading the new book, I’ll do as you wish. I hope you won’t regret it in the future.”
Hearing this, everyone was excited and cheered.
“That’s great! We’ll be able to see Master Wang’s new book soon!”
Wei Liao smiled happily. “That’s more like it. Let Master Wang’s book pass the review. That way, we’ll be happy and you won’t have to be pestered by us anymore. Everyone will be happy.”
Chancellor Luo snorted heavily and could not be bothered to waste his breath on them. He flicked his sleeves angrily and left.
That afternoon, Yu Niaoniao brought her new book to the Directorate again.
She greeted him with a smile. “Chancellor Luo, I haven’t seen you for a day. You look much younger!”
Chancellor Luo was filled with anger. Seeing that she was still chuckling at him, he was even angrier.
“If those readers find out that Master Wang is the Princess Consort of Lang County, will they continue to read your books in the future?”
Yu Niaoniao said calmly.
“As long as I don’t admit it, it’s useless no matter what you say. Besides, it’s your duty to protect your identity and privacy for the author. If you can’t even do that, it can only mean that your character is really bad. I’m sad that the
Directorate has a Chancellor like you.”
Chancellor Luo was so angry that his nose was crooked.
“As the ancients say, only women and villains are difficult to raise. They were not lying! ”
Yu Niaoniao asked calmly, “You look down on women so much. May I ask what you think of your mother, wife, and daughter?”
Chancellor Luo slapped the table. “How dare you! Don’t talk nonsense!” Yu Niaoniao placed The Record of the Phoenix Cry Nation on the table.
“Don’t be angry. Help me stamp the book first. We’ll talk slowly later.”
Talk his ass! Chancellor Luo did not even want to talk to her anymore. He picked up the seal and stamped it on the book. Then he ordered her to leave. “You can leave now. Forgive me for not sending you off.”
Yu Niaoniao put away the book and said helplessly, “You’re really petty. You don’t even treat me to a cup of tea.”
Chancellor Luo pointed at the door. “Get out!”
He wanted to tell her to scram, but because of his status and upbringing, he couldn’t.
Yu Niaoniao stood up slowly. “Alright, alright. I won’t disturb you anymore. See you another day.”
She returned to the Langjun Imperial Palace and gathered the booksellers to discuss the new book again.
Yu Niaoniao suggested increasing the royalties. The booksellers had already expected this. They knew that this county princess was not so easy to fool, so they did not dare to play any tricks. They obediently accepted her suggestion and increased her royalties by 20%.
The booksellers would pay a portion in advance. The rest would be paid to her monthly when the new book was officially released.
After these things were settled, Yu Niaoniao handed them the draft of the new book.
The booksellers eagerly flipped through the pages.
There was only one draft, and there were many of them. They could only make do.
The more they read, the stranger their expressions became.
In the end, their expressions were ever-changing and exciting.
Yu Niaoniao asked with a smile.
“How do you feel?”
The booksellers looked at each other. Finally, the fat one stepped forward and asked.
“Princess Consort, do you want to change the plot in the book? If you really can’t think of an exciting plot, you can tell us. We’ll provide you with the plot idea. You just have to follow the drawing.”
Yu Niaoniao said without hesitation.
“There’s no need to change it. I think the plot of the new book is quite good.
You can just print and distribute it.”
The fat bookseller wanted to cry. “But readers won’t like such a plot.’
Yu Niaoniao said, “Who said that? I like this novel plot very much. It’s completely different from those gaudy novels outside!”
The booksellers could not persuade her and could only leave resentfully.
Before they left, Yu Niaoniao did not forget to remind them.
“Remember to hurry up with the new book release. I’m still waiting to see the readers’ reaction!”
The booksellers were collectively silent.
What other reaction could there be? They could only curse.
In the evening, Xiao Juan returned to the Langjun Imperial Palace and saw Yu Niaoniao sitting in a rocking chair, munching on melon seeds and humming a tune. She looked like she was in a good mood.
He couldn’t help but be curious.
“What happy things have you encountered today?”
Yu Niaoniao smiled. “The new book is settled.”
Xiao Juan had already heard about the book fans causing trouble at the entrance of the Directorate and said helplessly, “Why did you have to draw that strange story?”
If she had drawn a slightly normal story, Chancellor Luo’s reaction would not have been so strong.
Yu Niaoniao smiled slyly.
“That’s an interesting story! Stories about talented scholars and beautiful women are everywhere. How many complicated and tear-jerking stories like mine could there be?”
“The rarer something is, the more precious it is. The stranger the story, the more it can attract the public’s attention.”
Xiao Juan said, “That’s true, but isn’t the direction of your story a little too farfetched? The male lead can clearly live a better life, but you haven’t let him have a good day from the beginning to the end.”
Yu Niaoniao thought to herself that the male lead was based on Wei Liao. Of course, she could not let him live a good life!
She had to torture him hard!
Yu Niaoniao defended herself righteously.
“This is called tasting the bitter before we can appreciate the sweet. If you want to promote something, suppress it first. You have to step on the male lead and push him into the dust first. Only then can readers look forward to the plot of the male lead’s counterattack.”
Xiao Juan asked, “Are you saying that the male lead will counterattack in the future?”
Yu Niaoniao said without hesitation, “No.”
Xiao Juan was speechless.
What a miserable man!
