252: Chapter 00003 Happy New Year, Comrades! I've missed you all so much!!!

A new year, a new atmosphere!

After hitting the monthly word count limit and being forced into the "dark room" for eight days, I have finally returned!

This time, I've prepared a new variety show for IZONE, with plenty to go around! (Actually, I've only written a third of it, but the word count has already exceeded 200,000 words! Did I write too much?)

In these eight days, I not only wrote the new IZONE variety show program, but also revised the emotional arcs, and successfully wrote a personal theme song for "Im Yoona" titled [Water Is Unfrozen Ice]!

Because after seeing Im Yoona's new song, I just happened to be writing about giving "Im Yoona" a solo song in the later chapters. What a coincidence! It's truly too much of a coincidence!

Last night, I scrolled past IU's new TV drama, and it felt like another romance script designed to prop up the male lead... I'm feeling a bit uninterested...

In the subsequent chapters, I designed a movie script for "IU," which is a tragedy but also carries some philosophical undertones (the outline might be a bit hollow and boring, but I think it's good, even though it still needs a little tweaking).

It's just that I suddenly feel like IU's acting skills might not be up to par? (Just my personal opinion! Don't hit me!)

Why write this script?

Because I need to add a background buff to the main character group (it's time for the Chinese-American identity to make an appearance). After all, after finishing the movie and laying some groundwork, it's time for the chapters about acquiring SM (this should be the standard for invincible-style K-pop entertainment novels!). Only then will it truly reach the part I'm writing now. As the CEO of TS (TG-SM), this is the only way to better start the harem journey, isn't it?

Hehe.

Of course, because the previous emotional arcs were modified, most of the subsequent emotional content also needs to be revised and organized.

(During these eight days, I thought for a long time. Since the IZONE variety show isn't finished yet, the later chapters also need major revisions... The main thing is that when I wrote it before, I added large blocks of internet comments (I was addicted to the forum style at the time), so many chapters were a bit pieced together, and fragmented narration occurred.)

(Therefore, the content of subsequent chapters will not be updated for the time being; the latest chapter updates every day will be my personal rant! It's also a way to vent my work frustrations!)

(Regarding the update of previous content, after encountering a Waterloo with the update speed and word count last month, I decided to update 20,000 words every day, about two chapters.)

PS: My Dongdong's clinging messages will also continue to be updated! Minjeong's messages are the motivation for me to keep living! They are like coal for a steam train! Seeing them every day fills me with energy! Because it's my own Minjeong, after all...

Speaking of this daily word count limit and monthly word count limit, I am speechless.

I really want to present the plot I came up with to everyone, but it's a pity that...

Alright, that's enough ranting...

(Yesterday, I waited for Dispatch's scoop until I had a mental breakdown ORZ!)

IZONE's new variety show is presented as an RPG live-action variety show~ You can't find similar variety shows online as a reference.

Most of them are just dressing up as characters, and the games they play are boring, so I've spent a lot of brainpower... For example, I dug a hole for myself that led to me being unable to think of performance content all night. (I had to write it briefly.)

Then there's the issue of "Kim Taeyeon"'s emotional arc. After the original outline was canceled, it was redesigned. The timeline is 2020. Although most of it refers to reality, some things need to be modified. For example, the passing of a loved one.

I don't really like exploiting deceased figures; I think that's a very disrespectful thing to do. But there's no way around it, because the character is set as a master of traditional Chinese medicine, it can also become a pillar for the emotional growth between "Jiang Zhiyu and Kim Taeyeon"!

Someone asked if I would mention F(x). I will mention it in a subsequent chapter (like saying she is living happily somewhere), but not too much. Because to be honest, I don't know much about F(x), and I don't have a deep understanding of her story.

Perhaps because I know the ending, I cannot face the problems directly when dealing with the process.

I can't bear it. (A very fitting phrase.)

Additionally, regarding the addition of the "Kim Soo-yeon" character.

The main purpose is to add a business tycoon BUFF to "Jiang Zhiyu." As for the business parts, I won't write too much because I don't know how to write them... And the information I look up, as well as the shareholders involved in each company, are like a tangled ball of yarn.

I'm quite lazy.

PS: I didn't watch Kim Minjeong's SBS red carpet video. Although I've cut ties, I still don't want to see her looking awkward (aggrieved?). Sigh... It's very hard for me to describe this feeling; it's like the whole world has abandoned you.

(Don't you dare call me pretentious!)

Alright, next let's talk about December 26th. (The next name might not pass censorship, so I will use Comrade Li Desheng as a substitute.)

——

In December 2024, I purchased the Selected Works of Comrade Li Desheng (Volumes 1-4), but I only started reading them seriously in December 2025.

From the beginning of graduating from school and entering the workforce, my original thoughts gradually became pragmatic during the day-to-day grassroots work, and my temper gradually became irritable. Regarding the concept of the masses, following videos on Douyin, Bilibili, and other platforms, I developed certain prejudices against society.

But the thoughts of Comrade Li Desheng are still deeply rooted in the depths of my heart. I think that although I am an ordinary person, I will still help others where I can.

It's been almost three years since I started working, and I also have my own thoughts regarding the mentality of the masses.

For example, being self-righteous, acting crazy while drunk, being dissatisfied with society, treating one's own words as truth while disregarding the facts, believing in short videos on Douyin and Kuaishou, and attacking others using information that is only favorable to oneself.

Sometimes it's hard to understand the thought process of these people. It's as if they believe whatever others say, without any personal dialectical thinking. They don't verify the situation and wantonly vent their emotions. As long as their ideas and goals are not met, they start acting like hooligans, always thinking about being spoon-fed.

In fact, some things can be handled by oneself, but they insist on seeking affirmation from others, as if this is the only way to demonstrate their own intelligence and uniqueness compared to others.

It's exhausting.

To be honest, only after growing up do you realize that jobs involving dealing with people are the hardest to do.

Comrade Li Desheng's poems gave me great motivation, such as "Today the long cord is in hand, when will we bind the gray dragon?"; "Glad to see the waves of rice and beans, heroes everywhere beneath the evening mist"; and "Because there is sacrifice, there is great ambition, daring to call the sun and moon to change the sky..."

The power of poetry is very strong!

I don't know when it started, but when I read the Selected Works, I automatically read them in a Hunan accent in my heart. When I hear Comrade Li Desheng's voice or see his photo, I unconsciously shed tears (this is true, I really am as I write this sentence).

I feel disappointed with the first twenty years of my life and angry that I didn't study hard, which led to my current life. When looking inward, I think I am a cowardly person who wants to change but remains content with the status quo. My family and relatives have never said a word of praise, only complaints.

I think this is the main phenomenon of environment affecting personality, but I am a good person. I think if I had a child, I would definitely be a good teacher and a good father.

The road of life is still long, but I have already seen death.

Alright, that's all for the heart-to-heart talk. In the next month, IZONE's new variety show will be presented to everyone! I hope you won't scold me, hehe! (And don't say anything detached from reality! Please, ORZ.)
