After being expelled from the mansion, I changed the dynasty by writing novels.

Someone asked, and someone else answered: "You don't know, brother? Today is the day the bookstore is being renovated, and more importantly, it's the day the fourth issue of 'Between Square Inches' comes out. You don't know, I've been eagerly waiting for this book for seven days! I'm determined to get my hands on today's issue, I'm still looking forward to reading the serialized story!"

"Are you talking about the serialized novel 'The Overbearing Prince Falls in Love with His Little Maid'? That novel is really good. I borrowed it from a friend when I was bored, but I never expected to find such a unique book. I, a grown man, have cried several times."

Suddenly, another man overheard their conversation and couldn't help but interrupt.

The two chatted naturally, as if they had met kindred spirits, which astonished the passerby.

The passerby didn't understand what was making them so excited, but he roughly realized they were there for a book.

What kind of book is it that has attracted so many people to scramble for it, like vegetables at a market stall?

This aroused the curiosity of passersby, who all wanted to see how good the book was. So some passersby with a little money in their pockets would take out their wallets and buy a copy.

At this point, Ye Yuwu would discover that her books were not only popular among high-society ladies, but also quite popular among some students.

Some of these students bought the manuscripts to keep after successfully submitting them.

Some students will mention it to their friends and ask them to support the books they bought.

Word spread quickly, and given the book's excellent quality, it was natural that students came to like it and bought it.

Moreover, the previous episode was too heart-wrenching, and readers who saw that the story was still unfinished were eager to know how the plot would develop next.

As a result, the bookstore received many letters, all from readers to the writer, mainly addressed to Mr. Wuming.

Some were "fangirls and fanboys," while others cursed Mr. Wuming for writing such a heart-wrenching story, saying it was so painful they were practically ready to hand him a knife.

Ye Yuwu carefully kept all these letters, and sometimes she would choose one or two to read in her spare time.

Seeing that these ancient readers were all moved to tears, Ye Yuwu was very happy and even more excited. She would arrange all sorts of plot devices for them, such as the substitute trope, running away with a child, and the wife-chasing-after-the-cremation scenario!

These poor ancient "readers" had no idea they were being manipulated.

As soon as the dragon and lion dance ended, a long queue formed in front of the bookstore. Because the bookstore was being renovated, the books were on sale. People didn't understand what the discount meant, but they roughly understood that the books would be cheaper than usual.

Having finally squeezed to the front, Shirahoshi protected the lady wearing a veiled hat beside her.

This wasn't Bai Zunxing's first time visiting a bookstore, but she'd never seen such a scene before. It felt like she wasn't there to buy books, but to rob them.

Finally, it was her turn in line. Through the slightly blurry veil, she saw a person as beautiful as a fairy. She was exquisitely beautiful and dressed in white with a graceful and ethereal air.

She was so beautiful that it was impossible to look away. I don't know why my brother could remain unmoved when he was facing such a beauty every day.

Bai Zunxing knew her; in fact, all the prominent families knew her. Not to mention her relentless pursuit of her brother, her background had also become known in Bianjing.

She only recently learned that her brother had bought the book from her stall that day.

Her brother was always cold and aloof, and she could never understand his unfathomable eyes. She had no idea what he meant by this.

She only knew that such a person existed before, but had never met him.

She came to the bookstore not just to buy books, nor to see what she looked like, but to give him the envelope she had written to Mr. Wuming.

I heard that Mr. Wuming is a "contracted" writer at Zhiyu Bookstore, and he only writes stories at Zhiyu Bookstore. Although I don't understand what "contracted" means, Bai Zunxing came to the bookstore with the hope that he might be able to meet Mr. Wuming.

Unfortunately, Mr. Wuming did not come, so she had to ask Miss Ye to pass on the message for her.

She still felt a little awkward around Ye Yuwu, perhaps because of her brother's situation. Fortunately, Ye Yuwu didn't seem to notice her at all, which relieved her.

As she looked down, she happened to see a wooden board standing in front of the desk. She glanced at it and noticed the words written in charcoal on the board.

"Beverages: Perilla Leaf Tea and Orange Tea."

Seemingly noticing that Bai Zunxing's gaze was fixed on the wooden board, Ye Yuwu warmly asked her, "Would you like a bowl, young lady? You can drink the sweet soup while you read in our bookstore, it's very quiet, or you can buy some to take away."

Bai Zunxing was startled by her sudden conversation. Only then did she notice that a few people had just entered the bookstore behind the table and screen with bowls. Because it was half-open, they could also see another bookstore, with low tables and chairs neatly arranged.

"Can we take it with us?" Bai Zunxing became somewhat interested in this.

Speaking of this, Ye Yuwu smiled mysteriously, "Actually, it's nothing special. If you want to take some back to drink as sweet soup, we can pack it in a bamboo tube for you, but it will cost an extra two cents. Don't worry, our bamboo is all fresh and has been boiled in boiling water, so it's very clean."

So that's how it is. Although Ye Yuwu said it wasn't particularly unusual, very few people could actually think of using this method. It has to be said that she did have some ideas. Bai Zunxing couldn't help but look at her a few more times.

"I'll drink here," Bai Zunxing blurted out as the person behind him urged her.

"Okay, what would you like to drink?"

"Two bowls of 'beaten orange tea', served in bamboo tubes instead." Bai Zunxing, being a pampered young lady, didn't want to use the bowls that many people used.

"Okay, girl, that'll be twenty-four coins in total. You can go inside and wait after you pay."

Bai Zunxing realized what was happening and had the maid pay the copper coins before entering the rest room.

Fortunately, the room was divided into men's and women's sections by wooden screens. They walked to the corner on the other side of the screen.

From the corner, you can see the entire bookstore, and from the window, you can see the houses and homes outside the street – quite a nice view.

"Miss, you've changed a lot."

Bai Zunxing had never been to Zhiyu Bookstore to buy books, so she didn't know what the bookstore was like before. However, she often heard her maid say that the bookstore was small and dilapidated, and it was rare to find such good books there.

Bai Zunxing didn't say anything. After a while, someone brought up the sweet soup. However, it wasn't Ye Yuwu, but someone from her shop, also a young woman. This surprised Bai Zunxing. She thought it was one thing for Ye Yuwu to show her face in public, but it was quite another surprise to see other women working in the shop.
