Okay, first, congratulations on the successful clickbait title. Actually, this miscellaneous collection of thoughts should be titled: "Everything About Si Si, Monthly Tickets, and Qing Yu Nian." But I thought that wasn't sensational enough, so I changed it to what it is now.

I said a few days ago that I would take the time today to write something to express my attitude and explain things. Everyone is busy, and I don't think you'd want to hear me rambling, so let's get straight to the point.

First, regarding the Si Si incident. I hope the debate about this ends. There is no dish in this world that can satisfy all diners, and I admit I don't have that ability. But I still want to state that I wrote this because the story needed it, it was natural, there was no external interference, and I won't be changing it. I consider myself a very mild person, but I'm always a bit stubborn when it comes to writing stories, please understand.

Second, regarding the book review section, please maintain harmony. Discussion is fine, but personal attacks are not. Attacking me is okay, I've repeated many times that I have thick skin, right? It's a bit of a headache when the brothers and sisters who read the book attack each other. We're all here to have fun, why make it unpleasant? Whether you support or oppose, I hope everyone can express themselves in gentler language. Of course, this matter has faded now, and it seems a bit foolish and boring to bring it up again, but I haven't had a chance to say it, and it's always uncomfortable to keep it bottled up, please understand.

Third, I personally strongly object to taking other books as targets when evaluating a book. For example, if you all like this Qing Yu Nian, I am honored, but please do not attack other books and authors. On a moral level, it's not kind, and from a practical perspective, as someone who works and earns money in this circle, I'm also very afraid of offending people. Especially since I also like to read books on Qidian, and I'm a loyal reader of many books. When I see you criticizing people who read that book, I want to cry, thinking that it really is very good. As for using other books to despise Qing Yu Nian, although it is freedom of speech in the book review section, please allow me to reserve the right to be unhappy.

Fourth, regarding monthly tickets. I have never expressed my attitude towards monthly tickets. Today, I would like to take this opportunity to express it: I really like monthly tickets. Monthly tickets represent honor and money. Any normal person will have a normal degree of vanity, and I am no exception. I really like monthly tickets. So why do I rarely ask for monthly tickets? There are several reasons: First, I don't think I write fast enough. If I get addicted to asking for votes and watch my ranking soar, I'll be too happy and try my best to write, but if I write too much in a day, the quality will always decline. This is not a hypocritical statement, it's true. You can see that whenever I write chapters with more than 7,000 words a day, they always seem a bit bloated, except for those few chapters where I was truly "inspired"... ugh... including the Chrysanthemum Ancient Sword and Wine chapter, over 10,000 words. At the end of the chapter, I said I was very proud. An old friend on Longkong was puzzled and said that the chapter was just so-so, why were you proud? The reason is very simple, that day I wrote a chapter with so many words, and the quality could still be maintained at around or above the average level, so I was giddy with pride. This also proves from another aspect that it is indeed difficult to maintain quality when there are too many words. The second reason why I rarely ask for monthly tickets is that I am... very lazy, extraordinarily lazy. This is not a false pretense of being noble, it really is laziness. To watch the monthly ticket chart and ask for votes every day, I feel a lot of pressure. The third reason is: I sometimes forget. I forget at the beginning of the month, and then I simply pretend to forget and sneakily get through it, until the end of the month or sometime when I count on the list for a long time and find that I'm still in the top ten, I'm ecstatic and quickly ask for votes again... In summary, I'm really quite a bastard. Although I never object to authors adding words to ask for votes when I read books, I also know that some friends don't like to see these things, so I also have a headache. If nothing else happens, maybe I'll continue to muddle through until the end of this book, but a few days ago I read *E Ming* and found that the author was actually asking for monthly tickets for me. I was a little embarrassed. In the book review section, I also found friends saying, if you don't ask for votes, your ranking won't go up, so aren't we wasting our votes? In the VIP forum, I also saw several old book friends constantly asking for votes for me, and looking for books to read everywhere on Qidian. As a result, they found a book called *New York Sword Cultivator*, and the author actually made a direct link to *Qing Yu Nian*, and I don't even know that author. This feeling... is really a bit embarrassing. So I want to state my attitude here, I like monthly tickets, like I like money. From next month, on the 1st, 15th, and last day of each month, I will conduct monthly ticket activities. There will be no burst updates, I will just honestly and sincerely ask for votes. I don't expect results, but I must at least put on the right posture. It's a matter of heart.

Fifth, having talked about monthly tickets, let's talk about Fan Xian, who is equally loved and hated. What kind of person is Fan Xian? I now admit that Fat Flower Cat is right, I wrapped too much sugar around him, so that some readers mistakenly thought he was a good person. No, he is not a good person. After the end of *Zhu Que Ji*, I swore that I would never write a good person again... But, in fact, he really is still a good person. Damn it, I have a split personality. In fact, the outermost layer of Fan Xian's image is a golden paper garment. Under the paper garment is very dazzling, tear-inducing mustard. Under the mustard is a sickeningly sweet cream. Under the cream is a bitter and incomparable poison shell. There is a glimmer of light in the middle of the shell - people are complex. For the people of Qing, they can only see his golden exterior. For Fan Xian's enemies, they can see the spicy mustard under this golden garment. For the Emperor, he seems to have discovered that Fan Xian is still sweet and nutritious cream at his core. For Chen Pingping and Fan Jian, they thought that the poison shell mixed with cream was the real Fan Xian. Haitang can't see through what Fan Xian is, but she firmly believes that the most core part of Fan Xian still has a touch of light. Si Si doesn't care what the young master is, she only knows that the young master in front of her is the God of Light. Lin Wan'er and Fan Ruoruo don't care about anything, they only know that Fan Xian is Fan Xian, whether he is poison or cream. In fact, even Fan Xian doesn't know what kind of person he is. Only I and everyone in the world know, which is such a proud and gratifying fact... Don't demand that Fan Xian have any life goals, don't expect him to completely recognize himself, don't believe that he is a perfect person who plans everything. He will also be confused. As an old man in his thirties, he has been pretending to be young for too long, and he has really entered adolescence again. Who knows where the end is? The current Fan Xian likes wealth and glory, needs self-satisfaction in moral conscience, hopes for family and friendship, and is attracted to beautiful members of the opposite sex - actually, looking back at ourselves, who can be sure what kind of goals they have in this life? Fan Xian, like most of us, takes things as they come, only focusing on the present, focusing on the current moment, and ensuring that every day is wonderful. This is the so-called happy life. Of course, some of his views are much more paranoid than ours, because he is too afraid of death, so he doesn't mind letting others die. Cold-blooded, that's how it is formed.

Sixth, there are criticisms of my recommendations. I am getting more and more courageous, and I will continue to recommend today, hee hee, I don't believe in evil anymore. Today I recommend these three books by authors I don't know, but I really like to read them. The first book is *Mo Zhuang* (魔装). This book is well written, but the scene transitions between several volumes are a bit disjointed. Overall, it's great. I really like Forty-Seven, let's go, let's assemble the little JJ! The second book is *Bang Xian Ji* (帮闲记). Thinking about traveling to Jiangnan all the way, reading *Bang Xian Ji* all the way, it's very enjoyable... I really don't know the author, I really like that cute lute player, especially when I was reading it, I actually found that the author also reads Qing Yu Nian, and suddenly I felt much more glorious. The third book is *Living in Another World*. I don't fish, but I like to read him write about fishing. Reading it makes me yearn for a peaceful life. I want to buy a small adobe house by the Qingjiang River, and I searched for "washing gills" on Baidu to find out what this professional term meant. I sincerely hope that the author will carry on fishing to the end, even if Victor later opens a bank to fight wars, don't forget to take Her Majesty the Queen to the forest to S&M wild cattle.

Seventh, I'm done writing. I wish everyone success in their work, all the best, family harmony, good health to the elders, and happy moods to pregnant women and mothers. It's the weekend, everyone, have fun, bow, and leave the stage.
