Chapter 16 (2/2)

He knew that the novel, “Candle in the Tomb”, was a huge sensation in his previous life.

Fang Yuan also knew that this work had once been bought by one of the five largest publishing houses in the world for the rights to be translated and published.

It even was well-known overseas.

He was certain that this was a trump card that would bring him a sure win.

“Sherry, thanks for your suggestion, but…”

Fang Yuan smiled faintly and recalled a classic quote from the great scholar, Lu Xun, from his previous life.

Due to the alteration in this timeline, this quote did not exist in this parallel world. Thus, it was right to put it out there.

“Expectation isn’t something that just exists, just like a path on the ground. In fact, the world was originally untouched. Paths only exist because one person braved walking that path. Eventually, a path will appear when more people take the same route.”

‘A path will appear when more people take the same route…’

Sherry repeated this sentence in her mind and understood what Fang Yuan meant.

Earlier, she had persuaded Fang Yuan to write common genres in the West, such as gothic, horror, or mystery novels since these were all paths that had been tested and verified by previous generations.

Fang Yuan was clearly saying that there was always a road that had not been taken, and he was brave enough to be the first person to forge that path.

He wanted to write the world’s first tomb-robbing novel and become the founder of this genre!

“Youngsters nowadays are really unpredictable.”

Sherry smiled with squinted eyes. The drunkenness on her face was obvious. Although she called him a youngster, she was certainly not considered old.

She was not even thirty this year and was only twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old. She also had a beautiful face and a perfect figure.

However, with countless awards under her belt, she seemed solemn, graceful, and unattainable.

Sherry said softly, “Lead the way to your room. I want to see how you walk this path.”

“Huh?”
