It’s really sad, because this volume is a bit harsh on the supporting characters, so I originally planned to finish it before the Chinese New Year. It was planned to be completed on the 18th, but it ended up being delayed because I was too busy. By coincidence, the knife part was postponed to the two days of the Chinese New Year. It was really not intentional. (Kowtow and apologize)
In fact, after updating the game the day before New Year's Eve, I felt that the subsequent plot would affect my mood during the New Year, so I decided to stop updating for a few days and resume updating on the fifth day of the new year, so that I could at least have a good mood during the New Year. But who knows, the website has arranged a recommendation on New Year's Eve. If the update is discontinued, it will have a great impact, so I can only continue writing.
In addition, I visited relatives for New Year greetings in the past two days, and basically drank with friends or relatives. After drinking in the morning and drinking in the afternoon, I continued drinking before I woke up. I felt dizzy and my head felt heavy while typing.
Let’s talk about the summary of the third volume.
Regarding the role of Bai Buai, the character was determined very early in the outline. In the initial outline, his characterization was a tragedy, which is very similar to the plot I'm currently writing, with the same ending.
But before the official release of the book, I felt it was too harsh, so I took the time to change the story line into a story that was not strong, but still satisfactory.
The revised content is to create a pair in the world of Red Rain, giving the two people another chance to be together. And Bai Buai will still have a certain role in the middle period, because he is the young prince, who will help the protagonist when he conquers the eldest princess and fights for power.
In addition, at that time, I felt that the environment in which everyone lived in recent years was too depressing. Writing something light-hearted and not too aggressive would be good for my grades.
My initial plan was to create a heroine with 200,000 to 300,000 words, which is about the same as over 3 million words. At present, it has 800,000 words. Apart from the eldest princess, I have conquered almost three heroines, which is in line with the plan.
But because I committed suicide in the second volume and made a mess of the story that should have been complete, and the mess could not be cleaned up, I became discouraged and decided to delete the two female protagonists who had not yet appeared. (This is explained in the second volume), which can save almost 700,000 words.
But as I continued writing, I felt a little unwilling, so I decided to write about a future heroine (Luo Qianqiu’s mistress).
After this heroine appeared, someone combined it with the previous book and assigned me a gender, saying that the author was a mature woman. This is really not the case. The author has no interest in Cao Thief.
Let’s talk about the changes in Volume 3.
First of all, it was said at the beginning of this volume that the heroine Meng Xiaotu will have more plots.
In the setting outline, this volume was originally about Little Rabbit accompanying Li Nanke into Phoenix Mountain, and a dream-like plot happened, which made the relationship between the two richer and more delicate, and at the same time revealed some secrets of her parents. Then meeting girls Shuangshuang can be regarded as a fate between grandma and future granddaughter. But in the end it was changed to the eldest princess.
First of all, I think that Little Rabbit’s relationship is pretty much okay for now, and there will be more plots about her parents in the future.
Secondly, in the original plan, the eldest princess was the protagonist and went to the capital to conquer the capital, which was about 300,000 words. But after thinking about it later, I decided to leave the capital to the queen, otherwise the roles would overlap and it would appear to be procrastinating.
So in the end, Bai Ruyue replaced Meng Xiaotu and fell in love with the protagonist in a "tricky" way. Although it was abrupt, it was at least somewhat logical.
In this way, part of Bai Ruyue's plot in the capital can be deleted. (She had a lot of scenes later on)
With the deletion of some of the scenes involving the eldest princess, the scenes involving the young prince Bai Buai are no longer there, which means that she has completely become a stranger.
So after some consideration, I finally decided to let the young prince end his role in this volume, following my original plot design. Just go for it. Anyway, the results of the book are just like this now, so there is no need to worry about anything.
At least the character I designed can leave a deep impression and not look like the old Jiang couple.
After some comprehensive analysis, the changes in the third volume seem to be very big, but in fact, they have not been changed at all, and the writing is quite smooth. It's a pity that during the Chinese New Year period, I was busy writing in a hurry. Otherwise, I could calm down and write some plots better. (Referring to the plot of the protagonist and the eldest princess’s dream, I originally planned to write about six chapters, but ended up finishing it in two chapters)
As for the plot of the fourth volume, it will not go to the capital yet, it will still be in Yuncheng.
There are two main female protagonists in this volume, one is Yu Hongye and the other is He Panjun. (There may be changes, because the plots of Volume 4 and Volume 2 are closely related and need to be sorted out.)
As for the eldest princess, the emotional foundation has been laid. I will move on to it later and write it more deeply.
The fourth volume has approximately seventy or eighty chapters.
It’s just that the update method may change this time, and occasionally it will be updated in two chapters. Occasionally, for the sake of continuity of the plot, I will write a large chapter directly. Anyway, I have to write at least 4,000 words a day, after all, I have to work hard.
This volume emphasizes the story line, and there is no emotional conflict between men and women and more brain-burning plots.
Finally, I would like to answer the sentence that some readers asked, why it should be deleted.
The reason is very simple. The mess in the second volume led to confusion in the outline and a decline in grades, making it impossible for the author to work in a better state.
It is impossible for eunuchs to be bad actors. After all, it was not easy to get rid of the bad reputation of eunuchs back then. Although the last book had some bad endings, it was forced by circumstances. This book must at least be complete.
At present, the plot of the heroine who appears has been written and the story has been told. As long as the overall picture is not affected, just delete some in advance to reduce them.
The outline of Volume 4 has not been sorted out yet, and there is a high probability that it will not be updated tomorrow.
I have given up on treatment for my problems, and now I just want to carve out the subsequent plot and finally give a happy ending to the protagonist.
Also rest assured, the protagonist will never be knifed.
That’s about it, I’ll make up for anything I missed tomorrow. Happy New Year to everyone.
