Chapter 242 (2/2)

The reason why they had given his case special consideration was because “Beautiful April’s” had become too famous. Every time a new issue enters the market; the readers would only hunger for more. They expressed their thirst for more word count in each issue. It was simply not enough!

Dissatisfied readers soon quit following the proper channel, which was no longer adequate. They opted for the pirate version on the internet. Or else, they would rather wait for the completion of “Beautiful April.” Upon completion, the entire novel would be printed on its own. By then, they could directly purchase the original book…

The Mengya Magazine Agency noticed the situation. That’s not good. The sales volume of the entire magazine had been increasing due to the so-called ‘Best youth novel of the year,’”Beautiful April.” The character ‘Chu Luoxun,’ was even more popular. Many famous actresses had expressed their intentions to play the character.

That’s right. “Beautiful April” was a youth novel that had all the makings of a great movie, catered for adults. Many directors had expressed their interest to film its adaptation. Many actresses noticed the popularity of this character ‘Chu Luoxun.’ Even if they did not understand what this character was about, they would still be able to increase their fame via the character.

This was a rather rare situation. No youth novel had ever been able to cause such a strong, sensational reaction among readers, let alone a female character within a novel. What sort of tidal wave would occur if it’s adapted into a movie? As long as the character is played out to perfection, the movie would be a blockbuster!

Therefore, the Mengya Magazine Agency agreed instantly to Han Leng’s request. They increased the total updated word count for each issue. The sales volume of their magazine had gained further growth as well. It was similar to the online articles. The more substantial the update amount, the higher chances of readers sticking to them.

Han Leng had become a significant presence among the contracted authors within Mengya Magazine. His identity would be revealed when his novel is completely published. The famous publisher Lu Jinbo, who had good social relations with Mengya Magazine, had his sights on Han Leng. He intended to make Han Leng the leading figure among youth literature. He happened to be a close friend of the boy’s father, as well.

Han Leng was repeatedly reading through the novel ending he had just written.

His heart felt empty. He could always sense Chu Luoxun’s presence whenever he reads anything pertaining to her, but not this time. She has left them.

He read through the part where he wrote Chu Luoxun’s death. Her surgery turned out to be unsuccessful.

Han Leng hid his head in his arms. He must have been possessed. How could he kill her off?

Why couldn’t he stop his own hands from doing something so stupid?

Han Leng felt a sharp pain in his chest, as if his heart had just been stabbed. He considered himself responsible for erasing Chu Luoxun’s existence from the literary world. He had murdered the girl he cared for the most!

He had actually killed his favorite girl!

He burst into tears shamefully. He still had a chance to modify the content. After all, it had not yet been published. However, he knew that he would never reproduce such an impact, even if he resurrects her.

The character will never be the true Chu Luoxun anymore. It would only be an empty shell without her soul.

His love will only belong to her. No girl would ever replace her.

Translation Note:

[1] Super Marie Su – Super Marie Su refers to the fantasy novels written by females who live in their imagination every day. There is no theme, no proper content, only the exaggerated depiction of a self-created heroine which does not exist in the original novel, yet tangling up with the popular characters of the original novel. Basically, almost the entire vocabulary used to describe a female’s beauty would be applied into her depiction. The heroine is very powerful, and she wins the hearts of all men. She is the perfect heroine.
