This was the first time Xiao Han had finished writing a book. It was the same as when Xiao Han first typed the first chapter of the book on the keyboard and embarked on the path of becoming a web novelist (but not an author). The first time was always a little nerve-wracking.
In the past, when reading other people's books, they would either clap their hands in praise, laugh out loud, feel indignant, or curse the author!
But now that it was their turn to write a book, they felt like they were in two completely different worlds!
Because as an author, working hard to write a novel, it was like how Poplar Fruit carefully took care of his daughter who had suddenly descended into this world!
Xiao Han would be happy because of everyone's support and have more motivation to write!
Xiao Han would be sad because of everyone's criticism and secretly feel conflicted for a long, long time! Really, even though Xiao Han did not have much time to reply to everyone's comments, Xiao Han really did read them one by one!
Xiao Han would also have doubts about herself because of the dismal results. She even had the thought of canceling the book early on!
But as an author, Xiao Han realized that she could not be like a reader and just throw the book aside after seeing a bad one! Just as Xiao Han had said, this book was as important to Xiao Han as Kiki was to Poplar Fruit!
When she started writing this book, Xiao Han loved her like she was raising her own child. Even if the results were not ideal, Xiao Han still persevered.
In the end, in more than a year and a half (May 2014 to February 2016), the book was completed with 3.5 million words.
Xiao Han herself did not expect to write so much!
Rather than saying that this was a milestone, it was better to say that Xiao Han had persevered on the long path of becoming a web novelist!
She might still be far from success, but wasn't there such a saying? You might not succeed if you persevere, but if you don't persevere, you definitely won't succeed!
Since the results were dismal, why did she have to persevere with "My Fairy Lady"?
On one hand, it was because there were readers who had been supporting Xiao Han all this while. Although this was not the entire reason, the support from their subscriptions, recommendations, and reviews had given Xiao Han a lot of strength to persevere!
At least when Xiao Han was writing, you guys were watching!
On the other hand, there was Kiki! Kiki was an image created by Xiao Han. In other words, it was the image of a daughter that Xiao Han dreamed of having!
Yes, regarding the gender of the child, Xiao Han liked a girl very much, far more than the typical Cantonese people who wanted to have a boy! If he had a choice, Xiao Han really hoped that in his future marriage, Xiao Han could have his own daughter!
She could be held in the palm of his hand and dote on in every possible way. She could also be a considerate little cotton-padded jacket when her father was sad.
Because Kiki was created by Xiao Han, Xiao Han had to complete the story and create the perfect image of the character, and not give up halfway!
Kiki was already more than four years old now. She was at her cutest age! If he continued writing, there would be a lot of changes — didn't they say that a girl would change eighteen times between childhood and womanhood? Of course, Kiki would become more and more beautiful!
However, Xiao Han felt that it was time to wrap it up. This was because when Kiki grew up, Xiao Han might not be able to handle her well. Why not let time stop? In our memories, Kiki was still the cute, sensible, and smart little girl that we loved the most!
Of course, there was another reason for Xiao Han to persevere!
Little Han understood one thing, and that was that success wasn't something that could be easily achieved! Authors who could become famous with just one book were as rare as phoenix feathers and qilin horns. Many great authors relied on books that failed one after another to accumulate their experience!
But if he gave up the book because of bad results, then starting a new book would just be walking down the wrong path again!
Therefore, Xiao Han had to finish writing it and find his own problems in the process!
There were too many problems with this book. Many readers had mentioned it before, and Xiao Han also understood it very well.
For example, everyone was complaining about the problems with Fong Beibei's character!
Almost all of the readers had the same opinion: Fong Beibei was not suitable to be the female lead!
That's right! Xiao Han also agreed with everyone's opinion. But Xiao Han did not agree that Fong Beibei was not suitable for Poplar Fruit!
Why did he say that?
Fong Beibei's image was actually created to be a good wife and mother. However, this character was more difficult to arrange for the plot.
Her personality was gentle and considerate. She knew how to take care of people and children. Her concept of family and love was more important than anything else!
This also meant that she was unlikely to have conflicts with her family because of work or other matters. Everything would be led by her family.
Of course, it was also because Xiao Han's writing skills were not good enough. He could not write Xiao Han's original idea of a girl next door who was a good wife and mother. It was worlds apart from Xiao Han's imagination.
For a fast-paced and straightforward web novel, the image of a good wife and mother was really too difficult to survive! What more a female lead?
In comparison, a girl with a prominent personality, such as the cold and simple Duan Xueqing or the domineering and mature Zheng Yujie, was more likable than Fong Beibei.
Alright, Xiao Han did not deny this point. In Xiao Han's new book after the New Year, he would pay more attention to the choice of the main and supporting characters. He also did not want the supporting characters to steal the limelight from the main character.
But Xiao Han felt that there was no dispute about the Poplar Fruit's choice of Zheng Yujie or Fong Beibei!
Everyone thought about it. Although Zheng Yujie was a mature and mature woman who dared to love and hate and had a cute personality, she put most of her energy into work! This was her shortcoming!
Compared to Fong Beibei, who had liked Kiki since she was young and had taken care of Kiki better than Poplar Fruit, if Poplar Fruit did not choose her, would he really choose Zheng Yujie, who was still far away in Beijing at that time?
Perhaps Poplar Fruit was alone, or it could be said that the main character in other novels would not be a problem for him to choose Zheng Yujie!
She was beautiful and charming, loved and hated according to her heart. She did not play pretend with Poplar Fruit. Moreover, she was so capable and had such a background. She must be a goddess among goddesses!
But Poplar Fruit was not alone. He was a single father of a child. He was a little father with a slightly lower EQ and a slightly higher IQ!
In this novel that leaned towards reality, Poplar Fruit would choose Fong Beibei for his daughter! Moreover, don't forget that when Poplar Fruit met Fong Beibei, he had a moment of excitement. The first impression was very important.
Alright, after saying so much, this was only Xiao Han's initial idea! However, Xiao Han did not expect that in terms of the portrayal of Fong Beibei, Xiao Han had done so badly that he had disappointed everyone. Xiao Han expressed his deep apologies.
In this book, Xiao Han had done what he had said before. He did not start a harem. In fact, there was no harem at the end of the book, right? Ahem!
Why did he not start a harem?
This was not because Xiao Han was pretentious, nor was it because Xiao Han did not understand the mainstream of online literature. It was because he was restricted by the framework of this book!
It was like how a movie with children watching it could not be restricted. With Kiki's existence, Poplar Fruit had to take responsibility as a father. He could not be very casual when it came to relationships.
At the very least, it had to conform to the current state of society!
Otherwise, how bad would it be for a child? Right?!
As for what happened after the big ending, Xiao Han expressed that what they thought might not be right, but it could also be Xiao Han's idea! In any case, Kiki did not know. Uh-huh!
Oh right, the big ending was actually thought of before the book was even started! Xiao Han had already decided on how to deal with Zheng Yujie. Therefore, Xiao Han had been very calm and made Sister Zheng unhappy. Then, everyone scolded Xiao Han unhappily.
The way Duan Xueqing was handled was a little unexpected. Originally, Duan Xueqing's role was a pure supporting character. However, Xiao Han did not expect everyone to be so crazy about a pure supporting character.
Xiao Han did not know whether to laugh at that time. Xiao Han seemed to have brought a character to life. Or should he cry. Bringing a supporting character to life and writing the main character poorly was definitely a mistake!
Duan Xueqing's accident almost disrupted Xiao Han's rhythm. In other words, the book almost collapsed!
Xiao Han was very sorry. He could only give Duan Xueqing the cold shoulder!
Originally, in Xiao Han's design, although Duan Xueqing was cheated and Poplar Fruit was cheated, there was actually not much loss. On the contrary, the big liar Pai Đình Won could still be saved!
Bai was indeed a photographer. However, his partner could not refuse the threat of the villain. He also did not have the ability to fight against the big forces. Therefore, he made a mistake.
Xiao Han's original plan was to let him uncover this mystery (Xiao Han also wrote this). He resolutely fought with Li Zechao for the Duan Xueqing that he fell in love with. Then, with the help of Poplar Fruit, he finally defeated Li Zechao!
Duan Xueqing certainly would not forgive him so easily. Bai, who had turned over a new leaf, would pursue Duan Xueqing again. He would work hard as a pursuer and finally win Duan Xueqing's heart.
However, everyone seemed to hate Bai to the core! This was something that Xiao Han could not figure out. Could it be that Xiao Han had written him too badly in the beginning?
Because he was a supporting character, Xiao Han did not write about his struggles. This might be a shortcoming!
Perhaps everyone did not want to see a small antagonist actually "suppress" the main character and finally counterattack the character he liked!
However, Duan Xueqing was really just a supporting character!
Alright, Xiao Han had no choice but to comply with the public's wishes and give Bai an ending where they perished together.
As for Duan Xueqing's ending, it was not so wonderful after the changes. Sigh, it was all Xiao Han's fault. Everyone's complaints were right.
Xiao Han also did not do well in one area, and that was the rhythm of the book!
The rhythm of a web novel was very important. Xiao Han had been reading web novels for ten years, but after he wrote it, he realized that he could not grasp it. Perhaps this was due to the limitations of the story, but in the end, it was because Xiao Han did not have enough writing skills and did not prepare the outline well!
In the next book, Xiao Han must let everyone see Xiao Han's improvement!
Oh right … Xiao Han was really not good at writing, nor did he have any thoughts of writing. When everyone saw Xiao Han write such a long "Where Are We Going, Daddy?", it was actually because of Xiao Han's stubbornness.
The inspiration for this book actually came from the first season of "Where Are We Going, Daddy?", and it was also written when the second season of "Where Are We Going, Daddy?" was aired. To be honest, Xiao Han really liked this show. From the first season, he especially liked the five children, especially Sen Die and Kimi.
In the second season, Xiao Han liked Toto, and because of that, he had the idea of having an obedient daughter! Bringing his daughter with him to "Where Are We Going" was also Xiao Han's dream!
Originally, Xiao Han had planned to write a second season, and Kiki could also replace Toto or Belle's role. However, at the beginning of 2015, before the third season began, the second season's guests and the production team had all sorts of arguments. The relationship between the father and the child was not that good!
And it was impossible for the first season. After all, Kiki was only a little more than a year old in 2013!
Later, he realized that the third season was the most suitable.
And coincidentally, Kiki's character and image were close to 90% compatible with the third season's Summer!
One had to know that when Xiao Han started writing Kiki, Xiao Han did not even know who Summer's father was!
And so, Xiao Han wrote the third season! And because the third season was very successful, Summer's image on screen was also deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. It more or less affected Xiao Han, so it was especially difficult to write!
Not to mention surpassing, even Xiao Han felt that it was not easy to break through Summer's limitations!
In the end, everyone saw a Kiki that was very similar to Summer's. But Xiao Han felt that it was different. Kiki still had her unique side: smart, sensible, and loved her father.
Moreover, Xiao Han deliberately told Kiki not to pamper Nuo Yi like Summer, but to get along well with the other children. For such young children, friendship was the most precious thing to them!
Writing such a long "Where Are We Going, Daddy?" was indeed a little bland. Please forgive Xiao Han for being willful for the last time!
Xiao Han's update speed was also something that everyone criticized. Because of this, Xiao Han also felt that it was a pity.
After all, Xiao Han was an office worker and did not put in much effort in writing. He could barely maintain three updates a day. When he got busy before the Spring Festival, he could only maintain two updates.
He hoped that there would be better improvements in the future. He worked hard to accumulate more chapters and strive to give everyone the benefits that Xiao Han did not dare to ask for in the past.
After writing non-stop for more than a year and a half, Xiao Han had experienced a lot. It was not only the failures and struggles in the novel, but also a lot of pressure in reality. For example, the losses and gains in relationships, the incomprehension and even criticism of his family and friends, and the considerations for his life and future.
There was even a long period of time when Xiao Han spent it in a state of confusion, loss, and sadness. Naturally, his writing was also affected by it.
But Xiao Han would not complain to everyone!
Because in order to pursue his dreams, he would have to go through a lot of setbacks, endure a lot of obstacles in reality, and lose a lot. This was Xiao Han's own choice.
But Xiao Han would continue to work hard unswervingly for the sake of his dreams and to be able to contribute better works to everyone!
He already had a concept for his new book. It would still be an urban novel, but the style would be very different from this novel. It would be a light novel, but some of the styles would not change. Xiao Han would also work hard to create a male and female lead that everyone would like!
However, he had not started publishing it yet, nor had he started writing it. As he was too busy with work before the Spring Festival this year, Xiao Han had also rushed back home and worked hard to finish this novel. But during the Spring Festival, Xiao Han would adjust his state of mind and work hard to come up with a better idea for his new book!
When he returned from the Spring Festival, Xiao Han would start anew. And for a new journey, Xiao Han sincerely invited everyone to set off with Xiao Han!
This time, Xiao Han guaranteed that he would not disappoint everyone!
