My Stepmother is Soft and Charming

What awaits them may be a bright future, or it may be swords, guns, swords and halberds. ♢

But as long as the relatives around them are still there, then they can draw countless nutrients from here, nourishing them until eternity!

The light of the early sun filled the ground of Jinling City, and the Gu family walked towards the old house step by step, talking and laughing as they did before.

Two years later, Dajin suddenly raised his troops and went south.

They intended to replicate the sneak attack and massacre of the Gu family army back then, but this time, they met the descendants of the Gu family who did not like common sense.

Gu Siwen, who was only 19 years old, took command of the expedition, and his twelve lieutenants and 500,000 tiger soldiers all obeyed his orders.

Strategize and win every battle.

When the good news was sent back to Sui'an City from Cezhou one by one, Xing Zhao was dining with His Majesty.

"Okay, okay, the Gu family is so brave. Look at this kid from Shaoyu. He is really good. When he returns to the court this time, I will definitely reward him!"

Will the teacher return to court?

Xing Zhao couldn't help but think of the scene when his cousin returned home after a great victory.

Year after year, year after year, things have gone round and round, and nothing has changed.

At the same time, Gu Siwen, who went straight to Huanglong, found a "distressed" noble girl in the big tent after killing the Golden King.

When he opened the curtain, he caught sight of those smart eyes.

Stubbornness, ferocity, hostility, and hatred for revenge all came together. After seeing too many beauties from the south of the Yangtze River, Gu Siwen fell in love with such "thorns on the edge of a knife."

Then, he grabbed her arm and pulled the dagger she was holding towards his chest. He spoke with some disdain and some teasing.

"With such little strength, you can't take revenge. If you have the guts, just go back with me and give you ten years to seek revenge on me. How about that?"

The woman was puzzled, her eyes full of vigilance.

"I can kill you easily. Whether you want this opportunity or not is up to you."

After saying that, he threw away her hand, turned around and left without any sloppiness. When he got to the horse and got on the horse, he saw the noble lady inside walking out, with a look of determination to die. , he said loudly.

"good!"

When he heard this, Gu Siwen smiled. He always had a cheerful temperament, and everyone thought he had intercepted something great. Unexpectedly, when he appeared in front of people again, there was an extra watcher on the horse. A girl who is not very old.

Look at her outfit, she looks like a noble girl.

Therefore, Mu Lianying immediately stepped forward and said.

"Young Marshal, the military orders of the Gu family army must not be violated!"

"Uncle Mu, don't worry. You must not insult the enemy's female relatives. I will never forget the things that are deeply engraved in my heart. But this one is different. She came to seek revenge from me. I agreed to take her back and give her ten years." , I just want to see if the wealthy lady has this ability!"

At this point, Mu Lianying was stunned, but she couldn't resist the wanton temper of her young commander, so she had no choice but to give up, but privately she kept an eye on the wealthy lady.

"After talking for a long time, I still don't know your name, Marshal?"

The woman was silent for a moment. Gu Siwen thought she didn't want to say anything, so she didn't force her. Then she galloped off and ran, leaving Mu Lianying far behind.

When the wind whistled past her ears, the noble girl said something lightly.

"Xuanman."

"Xuanman? It doesn't look like a name that your noble daughter would choose."

The black mandala and unpredictable death, don't they resemble her current situation?

It’s just that she doesn’t know whether what greets her is the eternal darkness of the long night or the silence before dawn...

——

Wow, another book finished.

Every time it comes time to write the conclusion, I always have a lot to say.

Thank you everyone, it is my eternal theme.

It can be said that without your support, Dalizi would not be able to insist on coding.

I got into coding by accident. At first, I wanted to give my life more possibilities. Later, I slowly discovered that writing stories is really what I like, so I started to do it step by step. Now.

Three books, 3.5 million words.

It feels like a lot to say, but compared with the powerful authors, I still have a lot of shortcomings, so I will write a summary and hope that I can make more progress next time~

Next, let’s talk a little bit about this book.

When I first wrote this book, I was so ambitious that I wanted to reach 3 million words. By the time I wrote it, I felt like I still had a lot of stories to tell, so I was full of confidence.

Especially for the portrayal of the heroine Du Jingyi at the beginning, I revised it over and over for six versions, and finally presented the character I wanted to express.

Not necessarily perfect, but worthy of the flesh.

This is true for her, and it is true for all the other characters.

Including the plot twist later, some sisters felt that the male patron Gu Shaoyu was not so perfect. In fact, I think this is the norm!

How can there be a perfect character in this world?

Just because they are male and female protagonists, all depictions will be particularly tilted and inclusive of them, but in fact from the perspective of others, perhaps some of their actions are also "evil"!

This aspect is also a topic I have been exploring!

Ideals are always good, but there will still be deviations when implementing every plot in the story. So the problem is that I overhauled the first 300,000 words, and then the updates were not satisfactory because of repeated illness.

In particular, the repetitiveness of some characters made me feel that it was a bit substandard, so I cut off part of the plot and chose to finish it today.

Any regrets?

certainly!

But I always think that a good-looking book should have a clear protagonist, exquisite side dishes, and an interesting story.

Obviously, my book is still far from such a goal. I can only say thank you for your tolerance, correction, reminder and acceptance, and for accompanying me for 8 months.

This is a very rare experience that I will remember forever.

Good and bad merits and demerits are all over at this moment.

Thank you for always accompanying me, and thank you for all the corrections. I will continue to work hard and study in the future to bring you more exciting or more flesh-and-blood works.

(Part about new books)

In fact, I had almost finalized the outline of the story in January, but it was the same as before. I kept revising it over and over again and wanted to add eye-catching elements, which resulted in the writing becoming unstable.

Sometimes it looks good, and sometimes it's very stuck.

I don’t think it’s appropriate for me to take out such a manuscript to meet with everyone, so the original plan was to stop for a while while seamlessly connecting it, and it will be better when I can clarify my thoughts.

It may be 10 days later, it may be a month later, I will set off again.

All in all, Dalizi is still here, fulfilling his promise to "keep writing"!

I hope that when the new story is introduced to everyone, it will attract you again, and when the time comes, we will explore a different kind of life and happiness together~~~

Hehe, as the old saying goes, I won’t say goodbye in the world, I will say, see you in another world!
