March 7th, Chang'an City, Golden City Mansion.
It was the season of unseasonable spring chill. A fine drizzle fell from the sky, the rainwater dripping from the eaves to form a shimmering curtain of rain.
BUBBLE, BUBBLE.
The sound of a kettle boiling came from the kitchen. Chai Cuiqiao slowly set down the novel in her hand, published by the Lanling Newspaper, her gaze still lingering on the words on the page.
This book had only been published last month, and the author was, naturally, Jin Jiang, the most popular writer at the Lanling Newspaper.
Jin Jiang's original writing style was gentle and delicate, interwoven with a thread of sorrow and melancholy. However, in her latest novel, her style had become more lively and cheerful. The text brimmed with an understated joy not previously present.
