“It wasn’t easy, and the pressure was quite high, so I switched to romance.” It was her first published book, and the publication process was quite long. Later, on the advice of some friends, she started writing romance. But thinking back, she had spent a lot of effort on the detective book, researching extensively. Later, Auntie Wen found out she had lost a lot of hair writing the book and wouldn’t let her continue. After she pleaded, she was allowed to switch to romance.
Hai Jun, seeing her gloss over the details, didn’t press further and asked how she came to write books.
She smiled and said it was a sudden impulse, combined with her existing interest, and she just persevered.
Hai Jun took a book from the shelf, “This book should have a sequel?”
Her Shadow
《Twelve》? She didn’t expect him to pick up that book.
Hai Jun laughed, saying he didn’t understand why the book was called 《Twelve》, but he thought the book was really good, with delicate emotions, though he felt it wasn’t completely finished.
Xia Bing pulled out a book from the shelf. This book was indeed unfinished, and she originally didn’t want to publish it. An editor had discovered it at her home two years ago and immediately liked it. At the time, the editor said it wasn’t complete but thought it could be published in two volumes, so they published this as the first volume. The second volume remains unwritten.
“Well, at that time…” Xia Bing began to talk about the editor’s request.
Hai Jun laughed, “Your editor is really a talent scout. This book is indeed good. I’m waiting for the next part. I’m particularly curious about Ye Zi’s story.”
“Everyone is curious about the protagonist, but you’re only interested in a supporting character?”
“Intuition. I don’t think Ye Zi is just a supporting character.” Hai Jun smiled and asked about the meaning behind the title “Twelve”.
Xia Bing laughed and said she didn’t know what to name it at first, but then remembered they had known each other for twelve years, so she used that.
“I’ve been pondering this. So that’s the reason. I remember it should be about Xiao Ye and Lu Xiu Xuan knowing each other for twelve years…”
