Handsome CEO's Darling Wife Chapter 912 A Letter to My Most Beloved Readers~
Previously on Handsome CEO's Darling Wife...
What a monumental journey it has been. I vividly recall commencing the writing of this chapter on July 9, 2018, and today, April 9, 2020, marks its completion. A span of one year and nine months has passed.
Initially, my intention was to craft a straightforward romance. That was the original blueprint. However, as the narrative unfolded, I encountered numerous inconsistencies in the details I had provided. To rectify these, I found myself creating elements I never could have fathASIAN novel imagined—leading to the invention of THE COBRA.
Reflecting on its conception, I still marvel at how the idea came to me. I truly wish I had documented the process. Alas, the memory eludes me now. A faint recollection of a crab-like mark on a character's hand in a film surfaces; perhaps that fleeting image sparked the creation of The Cobra and its associated plotlines.
As the story progressed, I repeatedly reevaluated whether to conclude the entire saga within this single novel. Yet, doing so would risk alienating a portion of my readership with a story drawn out excessively. Consequently, I divided the overarching plot into four distinct segments. The first centers on Mu Lan and Mu Liang. The second focuses on Xue Lin and her enigmatic man with grey eyes. The third segment must remain undisclosed for now. The final part is dedicated to The Cobra.
During the initial stages of writing, I was a student, juggling exams, assignments, work, training sessions, and piano lessons. Not a single day offered respite or personal time. Now, as the novel concludes, I find myself confined at home, under a complete lockdown.
I hadn't anticipated that composing this letter would bring tears to my eyes. It’s challenging to write under such emotional duress. While I'm not typically demonstrative, I was perusing your comments prior to writing this, and your deeply touching messages resonated profoundly, almost overwhelming me. (A jest, of course!)
My motivations for embarking on novel writing were twofold. Primarily, to earn the financial means for studying abroad and achieving independence. Secondly, to provide entertainment for others. It is my sincere hope that I have succeeded in amusing you with elements of comedy, steamy scenes, and thrilling adventure.
I have also found considerable amusement in mirroring your emotions, as expressed through your comments, emails, and messages.
You cannot possibly comprehend the profound encouragement your positive affirmations offer to a solitary and somewhat downtrodden soul.
There were periods when I endured severe mental and physical abuse from my parents. My mind was in turmoil, and my hands ached. Writing became an arduous task. Ha! Writing what, exactly? I could barely form coherent thoughts, let alone devise a plot. Being neither one for tears nor possessing friends to confide in, I bore it all in silence.
However, your unwavering support illuminated my path forward. Your inspirational and encouraging words unveiled a new perspective on life for me.
I must also acknowledge Author Ajzhen, Piokilek, LuoYe, Eustoma, and mynovel20, who lent a listening ear during my moments of near collapse. They also assisted me in my university search.
Furthermore, AuthorWiz and Exlor provided invaluable assistance whenever I sought their help. Their insights significantly refined my work, although I remain uncertain if I can ever achieve their level of mastery.
Dream_ash, your ideas have not been forgotten; they remain etched in my memory.
SayuriHyuuga, you are a truly wonderful individual, and our conversations were always a source of joy. Your own story served as a significant inspiration for my writing. I am, and will always be, a devoted fan. And I suspect you already know this. Hehe!
And, naturally, my Editors—Kryptos, Harshitha, megha1106, Waphles, Lemon, and ForeverLost. You dedicated your efforts without any compensation. Monetary exchange to a foreign country isn’t regulated in Bangladesh, preventing payment. Beyond your pro bono work, you provided constant motivation and unwavering support. I fondly recall our enjoyable group chats and the times I playfully tormented you by sending pictures of my late-night culinary endeavors.
Xocolet, dumdum007, Helpful2468, rattienovelreading, ForeverLost, rose1091, and prathyusha nuthalapti, your keen eyes helped me immensely by identifying my errors. Granted, numerous other readers also pointed out mistakes in the chapter and private comments. However, the sheer volume of names would surely extend this acknowledgment to a thousand words if listed exhaustively.
Auamaze, Helpful2468, DaOist0015, Bibliophile_Anna, Kuku-P, Reddy_LiangLan, Belle_220504, Sreemoyee, rudy18, venlyanna, and an additional 4.5k readers, thank you profoundly for your generous gifts and votes. My gratitude for your benevolence is boundless.
Reddy_LiangLan, I noticed your profile picture change to Mu Feng and Qi Ying's charming chibi art. It was truly delightful! My sincere thanks.
Shansai, ysel, xiaoqi7, 14ssmith, ellaby, charryjane, attractive30, DeadlyGun, AnnoyingWizard, Cracedkaye, and a collective 3k commenters, thank you for your wonderfully insightful comments.
Adleena, ForeverLost, Waphels, Meghak, Quake, JoanaAngel05, sapna_16_, and all 242 members of our Discord community who reached out and engaged in conversation, thank you for doing so. Your interactions served as a vital reminder of my own humanity and need for personal space. Each of you taught me the importance of resilience and the necessity of standing firm in the face of adversity.
Rest assured, your perpetually cheerful Author remains a fighter. I am contending with familial expectations, cultural norms, and societal pressures to simply survive should I be compelled to reside with my parents. My efforts are channeled towards saving money to realize my aspirations. And retribution is swift and decisive for anyone who dares to inflict harm, even if it stems from my own parents' actions.
I simply can't tolerate being wronged without a legitimate cause; it's in my nature to have a fiery temper. This trait, inherited from my father, means my paternal relatives refrain from attempting to control me. They are well aware that my sharp, unapologetic words can cut deeply when I'm angered. However, as long as I finance my own desires with my personal funds, my adoptive father won't intervene. Thus, I can manage. I've already made it clear to him that I require no financial support after his passing. While they are alive, they won't offer me a cent. After they depart, accepting their money might invite their spirits to haunt me, wouldn't it? How can I possibly take such a risk? Despite my frail health, I diligently manage my well-being through my own capabilities. With my remarkable adaptability, I've thrived even after the lockdown period. If I can overcome these challenges, I believe I can conquer the world. In essence, my heartfelt gratitude goes out to all of you for immersing yourselves in my story. I acknowledge my numerous errors, which may have led to sleepless nights for some. I understand that some readers even found my work during exam periods, and that younger readers under eighteen have encountered my mature-themed content. I apologize for any difficulties this may have caused and express immense joy that you found pleasure in my creations. If it were possible, I would embrace each of you with a warm hug. Your support will forever remain with me, and you will be kept in my thoughts and prayers. Remain safe! With love!
