A virtual princess? She's a real princess!

The interface and UI design are still very simple and easy to understand; the homepage features book recommendations.

Bian Xiao prefers long novels. She feels that novels with hundreds of thousands of words end before the story even begins, which is uninteresting and leaves her unsatisfied.

Only long novels seem to have a beginning and an end.

Moreover, she likes to read light novels and dislikes angst-filled ones; she doesn't want to suffer at all.

There's nothing else I particularly dislike.

Not knowing what to look at, I clicked into the list's recommended page.

but.....

Why are all these names so strange? They're all in the format xxx:xxxxx

They seem so unreliable, but each one has a rating of 9.0 or higher.

Bian Xiao exited this strange list and scrolled down to the bottom of the homepage.

I finally found a novel with a normal title called "The Ghost Catcher," and the cover features a girl in a Taoist robe with a somewhat dark style.

Although the rating is only 8.2, not as high as 9.x, it should still be pretty good.

Bian Xiao clicked on the profile.

It looked pretty good, so Bian Xiao continued reading. He clicked on the first chapter, and the smooth writing immediately drew him in.

That's how novels are; once you're engrossed in one, you forget about time. The clock ticks away, and Bian Xiao is sweating profusely as he reads.

The author's description is so exciting! The new character is troubled because he always feels itchy on his face when he sleeps at night. Bian Xiao initially thought it was because he was cursed or something, but he never expected that his whole family was slowly dying from head congestion caused by being dragged upside down. The female corpse's hair was hanging upside down, and every night it would gently rub against the cheeks of the people sleeping below, which is why it was itchy.

Bian Xiao saw the author's vivid description and imagined the scene in his mind. He got goosebumps all over and silently moved his feet from outside the quilt to inside, leaving only his head and hands holding his phone.

I always feel like the blanket is sealed, and if there's even a gap, it's not safe.

The female lead, Zhu Lin, is strong and composed, with a touch of cuteness at times, which completely captivates Bian Xiao. He joins the few book fans in chanting "Sister Zhu is awesome!" and reading her story is incredibly enjoyable.

Bian Xiao also likes to read the commentary, so he reads it slowly.

The naive reader assumed the list only included completed novels and never considered the existence of a list of ongoing series. So, she read over a hundred chapters, finally stopping when the female protagonist, Zhu Lin, headed towards the Ten Thousand Ghost Pit.

???

Bian Xiao, who had stayed up until 4 a.m. without sleeping, was dumbfounded.

what is this?

Urging for more updates?

No, it's not finished yet?

The author is working hard to update, and those seven words really ignited Bian Xiao's anger.

Ahhhhh! Bian Xiao threw off the covers, ignoring the seal, and rolled around on the bed.

I'm so angry! I'm so angry! How could it not be finished?! What happened next?! What happened next?!

Bian Xiao, biting the blanket, angrily pressed the "request for more updates" button.

The author even dared to write something like, "I have something to do tonight, so I'm taking a day off. Two more chapters tomorrow!"

Thank you Anyu baby for the update reminder charm!

Bian Xiao stared at the tilde with deadpan eyes and sighed deeply.

How abominable!

It felt like my heart had been scratched by a kitten's paw.

What's a "time-urging charm"? Is it a gift? She definitely needs to urge for more updates!

The gift button shouldn't be too prominent; it should be placed next to the comments.

Bian Xiao clicked on it and took a look.

No? That's it?

The biggest gift is only five hundred...

None of the others broke 100.

Bian Xiao specifically checked the update reminder charm, and it only cost five yuan?! She'd never given such a cheap gift before!

Fortunately, the gift quantity could be customized, and Bian Xiao directly selected 9999, flooding the author with "urging updates" messages!

Send a gift with a message, and the author will reply when they see it!

Bian Xiao immediately shouted two large words: "Update soon!!!"

With a gift of 50,000, the book "The Ghost Catcher" immediately topped the Yangshizi Novel Gift Ranking, crushing the second place with 40,000 gift points.

After Bian Xiao finished delivering the gifts, although it was almost 5 a.m., he felt quite empty inside.

I'm itching to find similar novels, but none of them seem as good as those written by author Ice Tea.

There were also some books that scored nine points, and she didn't understand why they had higher scores than the Celestial Master, but their writing wasn't as good.

Finally, Bian Xiao yawned, took his phone, and fell asleep in bed.

Meanwhile, thousands of miles away in China, it was exactly noon, and the author, Ice Tea, was resting her chin on her hand, waiting for her takeout.

I'm so hungry...

She had just finished writing two thousand words of her novel while slacking off during a meeting, and she still had two thousand words left. Luckily, she had ten thousand words of draft saved on her computer, otherwise, just thinking about the tasks her boss assigned her today would give her a headache.

For the sake of Yang Shizi's 600-yuan attendance bonus, she can't stop updating.

She's so envious of those famous authors! She checked Xiaohongshu (a Chinese short video platform) and saw they earn 1,000 yuan a day, while she only earns 1,000 yuan a month writing non-stop!

But it's better than nothing, right?

Ice Tea opened her phone, ready to post today's 4,000 words on time. If she forgot while busy, she would be devastated if she lost her perfect attendance bonus.

She forgot yesterday and had to use her only leave slip. It was heartbreaking.

After the timer expires, the iced tea will be added to the earnings section. If it's past midnight, yesterday's earnings will also be displayed.

I wonder if I can break 25 today.

At least the food money can cover the cost of a meal.

Iced Tea leaned back in her chair and leisurely opened the novel assistant app.
