Chapter 43 Peaceful

I’m different from other people when it comes to trending on the homepage. I follow more than 400 people, so I’ve divided them into two groups: must-see and attention out of etiquette.

Must-see is a group that I have to see directly no matter what happens. For example, with Caitou (@hecaitou), no matter if it’s a late-night meal or a catfight, I have to watch it without fail. As far as the attention out of etiquette one is concerned, I’m sorry. Those who always post marketing stuff, negative news, and travel photos on Weibo will be in this group.

But even so, it’s painful to be on the homepage, because for me, I’ve been trending for more than 9 years, and have been saturated with the same topic every day. This isn’t a life fit for humans.

I really want to take a break, so I’ve been thinking about how to avoid trending on the homepage.

I think many people have the same wish as me.

After the 8/17 post, I wish I had something else for you to look at, but I don’t know what else I can post besides the advertisements I have to post. But I’ll try, so that at least those people who only follow me can have a rest. For example, I could live-broadcast me river fishing?

I’ve very grateful to those many people who fight to defend me, and in the next three months, I think I’ll be able to face all the people who have blackened me. I say three months, because that will give them all enough time to have their fun slinging mud at me, and after three months, I figure they’ll lose their motivation. Of course, that only applies to blackening. If any rumors start spreading, I’ll sue.

Therefore, if someone hacks me in the next three months, I hope everyone will let me bear it alone. Don’t feel aggrieved for me. This is normal in a network environment. If I get into the habit after three months, it’ll all calm down.

Maybe I’ll try to take this approach first.

Of course, it’s easy to pretend to be a fan (1), so my reputation might take a hit, but the first thing I’ll focus on is my own peace. “Grave Robbers’ Chronicles” has been going on for so many years, so it’s time I learn to protect myself.

Another thing is giving up some identities. Everyone has also supported me for so long, but because of their persistent support for me, they gradually took the brunt of the negative comments directed at me. It’s unnecessary. Loving a book should be a simple thing, after all. I hope everyone’s first priority is to stay positive.

Saying you like Nan Pai San Shu and “Grave Robbers’ Chronicles” has become a symbol of determination and courage for fans. I think there is no need to be this exhausted, and I’ll have no other choice but to feel the pressure to do well. I hope everyone’s external evaluation is very simple: “Can’t say I love the books very much, but at least Nan Pai San Shu did good.” That’s it.

The world is dangerous. When I was writing a book in the past, there was only one person talking to you all. Now, there might be many people telling you many things about me and this book.

I can tell you frankly that I have a principle where I only recognize the ones involved, and I only fight for the interests of those involved. I don’t do this for the people around them, because a prosperous person always has a group of people hanging around them for the money. I won’t help them and sell my friends out, because their income has nothing to do with it.

TN Notes:

(1) He actually says “rice” in the sentence. Per Tiffany: the nickname of Daomu Biji fans is “Daomi”. Even though it means “rice” in Chinese. It’s a play on words since Daomi can also be interpreted as a word short for fans (“Mi” in Chinese) of Daomu Biji—> Daomi.
