Chapter 43 (1/2)

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

If Su Li was still the freshman mangaka when “Pure Romance” was yet to gain any fame, her acts of confronting or threatening the editor would totally be in the path of seeking troubles. That could forfeit her future prospect of becoming a prominent mangaka.

But it was the high time now, as “Pure Romance” was gaining all the spotlight. Ever since her personal identity was revealed to the public, the number of her fans had been increasing. Any readers who had a sheer knowledge of the manga world, would definitely know of the sudden entrance of this one beautiful-girl mangaka.

There was a great solidarity between Su Li’s fans on internet. “Pure Romance” had an individual page on Qidian website, in which any new acquirement of silver Sect Master is globally announced, although she could earn only a quarter of the reward. This had given her a notion of publishing her works straight on Qidian main page…

Even in Zhao Youyue’s class, a student named Jiang Chao had clinched his teeth merely to save up 100 RMB to tip Su Li. This was a huge amount for a student from an average. Anyway, Jiang Chao did it out of his own will, as he liked Su Li and her manga from the bottom of his heart. If Su Li have any new serialization of manga, he would continue supporting her.

All in all, now Su Li was highly emboldened. Even if she picked up a fight with “Wind Manga”, she would not be worried about losing her job. This is what known as a talented and capricious person.

Moving one step backwards, you would notice that even if she solely continued drawing some books, she could also earn a huge sum. If she announced to the people that Su Li and Wang Li were both the same people, her total book sales would exceed the number you could have imagined.

Anyway, Wei Suo was simply out of ideas to change Su Li’s perspective. He always thought that Su Li was the kind of mangaka that was bounded by reality. Everything would be revolving around money and popularity, in which she had to treat every reader wholeheartedly, ensuring they could read her creation happily. Since it was a commercialized manga, it had to be delectable and an enjoyable one after reading it. Moreover, he could still remember the way Su Li criticized those hipster mangakas who inflicted bad feelings to the readers a couple of times. How could she possibly become likewise?

Having said that to create a legend through manga, we had never seen any top enthusiastic manga creating the so-called legend through this method…

Without any choice, Wei Suo had to bring the bag having the original draft to the chief editor, and also convey Su Li’s determination. Since he could do nothing with Su Li, the chief editor would be the decision maker. Actually, he had not looked into the ending thoroughly, he was just flipping through without pay attention to the tiny details. But he could feel that the ending would be an absolute disappointment to the readers.

After Wei Suo left, her personal assistant Zhang Ziqiang was looking at Su Li with full respect, and said, “Master Su Li, you are a genius! But aren’t going a bit too far? Of course, I’m standing by your side about the ending. It’d really make ‘Pure Romance’ remembered eternally by the readers. The characters in the story will become the legendary characters as well…”

Su Li heaved a sigh. She had felt that she was not in her usual mood. Perhaps she had not recovered from the time when her ideas were bursting in, as well as the feeling of entering the manga world to witness everything by herself. But options were limited and she desperately wanted all her readers to know the real ending of this manga by hook or by crook, instead of simply making up a harmonious ending.

“Another thing, you had promised the readers on your Weibo that you will come out with a cheerful ending…”

“Isn’t this ending cheerful enough? Darkened forms will ruin one’s life and the scumbag guy must die, aren’t these full of positive energy?”
