Chapter 73 (2/2)
Without a doubt, in this “Lone Elderly Club”, most of the male writers were single. As for Su Li, she was pulled into this club just because she was the creator of “Pure Romance” where the novel was directed to the male readers. It seemed pretty natural for her to become the main attraction in the club. After all, who doesn’t like a gorgeous female artist?
There is a Japanese artist named Yoshihiro Togashi whom people call “Togashi the old sly”. He got the nickname for marrying a beautiful artist named Naoko Takeuchi. Because she was the mangaka of an infamous manga “Sailor Moon”, a fair, rich and beautiful woman whose family is running a jewellery business. Su Li’s family background might not be able to compete with Naoko Takeuchi. Furthermore, the influence of “Pure Romance” could also not parallel that of “Sailor Moon”, but still, she is way prettier than Naoko Takeuchi. There were some of them who shared Su Li’s photos and videos online in the group. Whenever Su Li was in her makeup, she looked exactly like a goddess where her beauty was on the top. Besides, Naoko Takeuchi has gained her age whereas Su Li is still in her youth. On top of that, she even mentioned that she did not have a boyfriend nor have any experience in love during an interview…
With only these two facts, those otaku fans of Su Li had already regarded her as their goddess. Among the “Su Li Fashion”, they were mostly these kinds of fans. Obviously, the single ones from the “Lone Elderly Club” found that Su Li’s charm was irresistible. As for some Godly authors who liked to toy with the readers, they were deeply impressed with this genius mangaka who was able to sell the point that her ending was going to be a happy reunion. Yet she killed all her characters and allowed them to “reunite” in their afterlife. They would not have the guts to do so if they were the writers.
What if it went overboard, ruining the whole book and in turn destroying their reputation. The loss would outweigh the gain. However, Su Li’s “Pure Romance” ending was detested by a lot of male readers, but due to the popularity of her “Nice boat” ending, more and more readers knew about “Pure Romance”. Then, they fell into the same pit and consequently made the book more famous, even after the story had finished!
It was imaginable that many companies were headed over heels to get the copyrights of the book. A well-known gaming company in Japan had stated that they would like to make a galge based on “Pure Romance”. The Japanese name for the male protagonist would be “Itou Makoto”.
In any case, Su Li’s reputation far exceeded her income nowadays. What could she do? It was very difficult to develop sideline products for genre like “Pure Romance”. If not, she would be able to live the rest of her life with only “Pure Romance”.
Su Li did not care about the rest and sent the message once again, emphasizing that she was truly considering to adapt “The Strongest King” into a manga. She could not help bragging, “This is actually the suggestion of my number one Sect Master ‘Youyue’. She really likes the book ‘The Strongest King’. Besides, she had already promised to tip my new work a Silver Sect Master.
When the name “Youyue” came up in the group, there was a commotion—
“Youyue is quite a popular tycoon reader in Qidian website. I cannot believe she actually likes the book ‘The Strongest King’ from Rosemary?”
“I just checked the web page interface of ‘The Strongest King’. She just tipped a Sect Master. I envy him…”
“Hahaha, Youyue is also a Sect Master for my book, too bad she is not in my fans’ group.”
“Wow? Silver Sect Master costs about 10,000 coins. I envy that Su Li has such a super tycoon as her fan, but did he not do that just to chase you?”
“Wait a minute, Su Li…. Did you just mention Lady Youyue? Isn’t he a man?”
“Should be a man, but the account information says that it’s a she…”
When Su Li saw this group of people assuming that the cute Lady Youyue was a man, she could not stand it anymore. She sent a selfie of her together with Zhao Youyue in the group. Actually, she took these pictures with the purpose of showing off at the perfect time. After all, she had a perfect female reader, Zhao Youyue which allowed her to brag for the rest of her life!
When all the photos of Su Li and Zhao Youyue were shared in the group, including the picture of the luxurious car with the plate number “58888”, everyone was astounded!
Upon seeing the pictures in the group, Rosemary suddenly recollected his memory of not taking Sect Master Youyue seriously. As of this moment, his heart was filled with many regrets!
