While I claimed my birthday was the reason for the delay, the truth is I got deeply engrossed in thinking about the subsequent plot. I considered so many angles and wrote so many drafts that I completely forgot about the update schedule, so I used my birthday as an excuse to postpone it.
The book 'Lan Ke' is nearing its end, and I owe it to myself and to all of you to provide a satisfying conclusion. Some plotlines are not suitable for inclusion in the main ending and will be completed in extra chapters, such as the reunion of Bai Ruo and her husband in another life.
The ending is always a source of conflict and difficulty; there are so many things to consider. Even recent updates have been a reflection of this struggle. Many readers are urging me not to end it yet, hoping for at least 500 more chapters and reminding me of all the extra chapters I still owe them. They worry about a rushed or unsatisfying conclusion, feeling that the story of this world needs about 500 chapters to be properly told.
Often, I lie awake at night, thinking about the ending and all the sentiments I want to convey.
However, looking back, it seems I've never really celebrated my birthday all these years. Being on the seventh day of the first lunar month, it always gets overshadowed by family visits during the Chinese New Year.
As a child, besides eagerly anticipating Chinese New Year's Eve, my biggest wish was to have a proper birthday cake, one I could eat all by myself to my heart's content. Sadly, that wish never came true, not even until I started to dislike the taste of cake.
