I am terminally ill, but I am healing the world with my songs

When the final period was placed on this book, Lao Shao's heart was filled with complex emotions.

Some reluctance, some sadness, some unwillingness, but mostly conflict.

I am very clear that this book I wrote was never going to be the type to appeal to the masses.

Whether it's Wen He's character design, the direction of the plot, or the target audience of the entire book, it's ultimately not the general public, but a small group of lonely individuals who are inconspicuous in life and whose inner worlds are not understood.

But I really hope that this book can be seen by more people and that they can understand this group.

Under normal circumstances, they are no different from ordinary people.

They laugh and joke just the same, they are just as happy.

But when the night is quiet and still, their truest selves are revealed.

Often, they seem carefree on the surface, as if they don't care about anything.

In reality, they are extremely sensitive, and a single mocking comment can make them silently sad for a very, very long time.

Inferiority, social anxiety, cowardice, kindness, honesty, not daring to resist, not daring to fight for what they want…

I believe there are many such people in the world.

But such people are really not likable.

Especially when these traits are placed on the identity of the "protagonist."

Wen He is such a person.

No one likes to imagine themselves as a weak person who is bullied and doesn't dare to resist.

So, when I decided to write about Wen He, I knew that he was destined not to be accepted by many people, and he was destined to be cursed by countless people as a coward.

As an experienced author who has written books for several years, Lao Shao certainly knows that such a character design is full of pitfalls.

But I think this is the protagonist in my heart.

He must possess a unique, personal charm that other protagonists cannot have.

He must not be the kind of protagonist who is forgotten as soon as the book is finished.

Just like Xiu Yuan.

Deeply mired in darkness, yet concerned for the well-being of the people.

Wen He is a very greedy person.

He wants to save patients with depression, people who are disappointed with life, girls who have experienced misfortune…

He wants to save all the suffering in this world.

Wen He is a very selfish person.

Selfishly ignoring everyone's advice and stubbornly pursuing his ideals.

From beginning to end, his belief has never wavered, selfish to the extreme.

He wants to use his limited life to make as many people as possible feel warmth.

Some people say—"I come to read novels to relax, not to suffer. Real life is already hard enough, why torture me with a novel?"

I want to say that novels are also a form of artistic expression.

Even low-brow online novels should not be cookie-cutter wish-fulfillment stories.

Writing should be diverse and vibrant.

If the world is only left with pure wish-fulfillment stories, it would be a disaster.

It's like sweet things are delicious, but you'll get tired of them if you eat too much.

Sometimes you also want to eat something sour, salty, or spicy…

In short.

The ending of this book may not be considered particularly beautiful or amazing.

But I believe that as long as you haven't skipped chapters and have listened to the songs while reading along the way, you shouldn't be too disappointed.

The length of this book is not very long. Among the online novels with millions of words everywhere, 400,000 words is still in the early to mid-stage in most novels.

What I want to say is, if possible, please calm down, choose a night, or a rainy day, put on your headphones, listen to the music, and have an immersive reading experience. This kind of feeling must be great.

Finally, thank you very much to the friends who have been following the updates.

The results of this book can be said to be relatively poor, and it is those friends who have been following the updates that have given me the motivation to continue updating.

Especially those partners who send gifts, without your support, this book may have died halfway.

After all, as a full-time author, writing is the only source of income.

Without income, what ideals, what plot, what character design, are all empty talk.

Here, Lao Shao wishes everyone an early happy new year in advance, and wishes everyone all the best and all your wishes come true in the new year.
