Just ten days since it was published—humbly asking for a monthly vote.

The author knew that breaking into the top ten on the new book monthly ticket leaderboard was nearly impossible. After all, the gap had widened from 500 votes to almost 600, not to mention that many top-tier authors hadn’t even released their works yet. With the end of the month bringing double monthly tickets, numerous renowned authors had yet to make their move.

Yet, one must hold onto some hope. For the past three years, the author had maintained an optimistic spirit precisely by clinging to that hope.

This was the first—and also the last—time the author would compete on the leaderboard for this book, so readers were asked for their understanding regarding the single-chapter updates.

Nearly three years had passed since the author last vied for the top spot with the previous work, *All My Exes Are Superstars*. Now, with a rare chance at the leaderboard again, the author was unwilling to give up.

It was evident that the author hadn’t stockpiled any drafts. Middle-aged, with elderly parents to care for and young children to raise, who doesn’t have their share of troubles? So maintaining a daily word count of ten thousand was truly an all-out effort.

There was no desire to dwell on hardships, for this was the author’s profession. Compared to a few friends who stayed up until four or five in the morning running street food stalls selling meat sandwiches, crepes, and stir-fried noodles, the author’s situation was nothing.

Still, the mind wasn’t as sharp as it once was. Staying up until two a.m. every night, sometimes grabbing a grilled cold noodle from their stalls, the author would occasionally find themselves so mentally exhausted that even imagining plotlines was a struggle.

As a struggling writer, no words meant no subscriptions. So the author could only press on with writing, hoping that dear readers would kindly cast their monthly tickets in support.

Perhaps, just perhaps, with everyone’s votes, the author might finally make it onto the new book monthly ticket leaderboard.

In closing, the author humbly asks for monthly tickets and subscriptions.
