Recently, my sleep schedule has collapsed, and I've also developed some minor health issues, likely due to exhaustion.

I've felt tired since the later stages of *Terror Radio* and wanted to rest. However, I gritted my teeth and started *Hell*, updating both books simultaneously for a while. After enduring one new book launch period, I'm immediately starting Late Night Bookstore, which is another new book period. My mind and body are truly suffering.

Over the past six months, there have been highs and lows. Mentally, I remain optimistic and undeterred, but my physical endurance is nearing its limit.

I'm not writing this to complain or seek sympathy. After all, it was my decision to fight for this.

I simply want to explain to everyone that I will try my best to maintain the updates.

Also, to the brother in the hot comments on the last chapter who said that the story came from a Weibo post by Guo Degang and wasn't based on historical facts:

Actually, that story comes from Ji Xiaolan's *Notes from the Thatched Cottage of Close Observations*. I believe it was Heshen who traveled back to see Guo Degang's Weibo, then traveled back to tell Master Ji.

I'll try to get a chapter out before twelve o'clock.

Don't panic,

Hug Long tightly!
