I need to talk about the dialogue in this chapter because it is genuinely hilarious in the best way. The scene where the government officials try to persuade Su Xi to accept the study abroad opportunity is one of the funniest things I've read. This middle-aged man has clearly prepared a TENS OF THOUSANDS OF WORDS speech — you can feel it. He's got his talking points ready: the danger, the sacrifice, the weight of representing an entire planet, the careful emotional manipulation. And Su Xi goes: 'I'm willing!' And his entire prepared speech just dies in his throat. 'Huh? Huh!' is literally what the text says. The man is so thrown off that he and the other officials are stunned. This moment perfectly captures Su Xi's character through dialogue — she's not being dramatic or reluctant, she's just genuinely eager because she has her own agenda (finding Yuan Chen). The dialogue between Su Xi and the old man is also great. His calm, cryptic explanations contrast perfectly with her increasingly exasperated reactions. 'Didn't you help me awaken it?' 'You're asking me?' The banter feels natural and funny without being forced. And the reunion dialogue between Su Xi and Niuniu is so quick and breathless and real — no long speeches, just pure emotional recognition. 'Niuniu!' 'Mibao, it's you!' That's it. That's all you need. The author's voice throughout is this perfect blend of serious cosmic stakes and everyday humor, and it never feels tonally inconsistent.
Let me just say this upfront: the stakes in this story are deceptively simple and absolutely brutal. On the surface, the conflict is straightforward. Liang Yan is a forgotten wife married to the most powerful man in the entertainment industry, and everyone—from fans to producers to the husband himself—wants her to disappear. That's the external conflict, and it's established within the first chapter with terrifying efficiency. But the internal conflict is where this story really gets dangerous. Liang Yan has amnesia. She doesn't remember the last three years, which means she doesn't remember why she married Lu Lincheng, what she did during those three years, or how she got to this point. She's trying to build an identity from scratch in a world that has already written her as a non-entity. That's a conflict with no easy resolution because the very thing she needs—her own memories—has been taken from her. The stakes keep escalating too. First it's just the awkward wrap party and the amnesia reveal. Then it's the career death sentence. Then it's the variety show that's basically designed to publicly humiliate her. Each chapter raises the question: what's the worst that could happen, and how much worse can it get? What makes the conflict so compelling is that Liang Yan is fundamentally ill-equipped to handle it. She's waking up in a body that has skills and experience she doesn't remember, in a marriage she doesn't understand, in an industry that has decided she's worthless. She's an underdog who doesn't even know she's fighting. And yet. And yet, there's something about her reaction that makes me think she's going to surprise everyone—including herself. The fact that she was excited about being a third-tier actress, that she was genuinely happy to take photos with extras, that she has this residual optimism even after everything—that's not nothing. That's the spark that's going to start a different kind of fire.
Okay, let me just say this: I have never in my entire reading life encountered a chicken that functions like a biological 3D printer for eggs. This is peak post-apocalyptic fiction right here. The plot moves in these satisfying little waves—Fan Cuihua comes in all smug and threatening about one egg, Zhuo Ling casually drops five million credits on a chicken like it's nothing, and then the hen just *appears* from a haystack like some kind of farmyard magic trick. The way the author builds the reveal is genuinely clever. First the clucking sound, then the frantic flapping, then the egg drop that just keeps going. One egg. Two eggs. Eleven eggs. I literally gasped out loud when the count hit eleven. And then the subplot with the great-grandfather bringing an egg he borrowed from the Clan Chief? That's brilliant narrative threading. He's trying to help them out of genuine kindness, completely unaware that they already solved the problem. It creates this delicious dramatic irony where the reader knows something the character doesn't. The chapter ends on a comedic note with the fart scene, which I know some people might call tonally jarring, but honestly it works. After all that tension around food scarcity and family survival, a ridiculous bodily function reminder that these are still kids who just ate a bunch of eggs? Perfect release valve. The plot doesn't take itself too seriously, and that's exactly why it's so fun to read.
Okay, I need to sit down after this chapter because my heart is actually broken. The banquet scene—where Lady Jieyu shoves Jiang Nong forward to protect Jiang Biao from that dancer's sword—this is the kind of moment that changes everything in a story. Everything before this was setup, and now the dam has broken. What's fascinating is how the author layers the revelation. First, the scream of "Assassin!!!" pulls us into panic. Then we see the dancer's sword transform into a fan—wait, it wasn't even an assassination attempt, it was a performance. But Jiang Nong was pushed anyway. Into the path of danger. By her own mother. And then the aftermath—everyone immediately dismisses it. "She didn't mean it." "It was just a false alarm." "How much force could she have?" This is the real horror. Not the physical danger, but the collective gaslighting that follows. Even Jiang Biao, who was the one standing in the blade's path, tells her to drop it. He reaches out to shove her—like he's trying to control the narrative even in that moment. The author also does something brilliant with the past-life parallel. We get this chilling flashback to Jiang Nong's past life, where her mother begged her to help her brother, and those letters she thought were from her brother were actually from her mother manipulating her. The pattern repeats across lifetimes, which makes this present-moment betrayal feel inevitable yet still devastating. The slap—"A crisp smack rang out, loud as a firecracker"—is the perfect punctuation mark. It's the moment Jiang Nong stops being the good daughter, the forgiving sister, the understanding girl. She walks away swaying "as if a fragile willow" but I think that's the last time anyone will ever see her that way. This chapter recontextualizes the entire relationship between Jiang Nong and her family. What comes next? I genuinely don't know, and that's what makes it compelling.
The dialogue in these chapters is doing so much heavy lifting and I want to talk about how each character sounds distinct. Dabao is the most interesting case. He barely speaks, but when he does, it cuts. "Mama, my brother and I are used to the hard bedding, it's fine. You keep sleeping there." That's not just dialogue — that's a child who has spent so long trying not to be a burden that even kindness feels like a threat. His silence between lines is where the real writing is. The author doesn't need to give him monologues; the subtext does the work. Xiaobao, by contrast, is pure id. "Mama... you're a fairy..." "Xiaobao also wants to wait for Daddy to eat together!" His dialogue is short, breathless, full of excitement. He's five and the world just got better and he can't contain it. The contrast between the brothers in dialogue alone tells you everything about their personalities. Fu Ting's voice is rough but tender. "Jiaojiao, I bought four stools. Your skin is so soft, you should use the good one!" He can't figure out how to express care without it coming out slightly awkward. And then the lip scene — "No need." He catches her hand and licks the blood himself. Three words. That's all he says. But the action says everything. Gu Yun is comic relief but he's not one-dimensional. His suspicion about poison — "Did she say, 'Husband, time to drink your medicine'?" — comes from a place of genuine fear for his friend. He's been burned before. His voice is fast, chaotic, defensive, and underneath it all, he cares. And Jiaojiao's internal voice versus her spoken words is where the real brilliance is. She says "Brother Ting, lower your head" and then bites his lip. She says "No need, I've got a way" about money when she's clearly using her space. Her dialogue is often short, practical, sometimes flustered — but her thoughts are where the emotional depth lives. The gap between what she says and what she feels is where the story breathes.

Heya! GlaringError here! Thank you for giving this book a chance! :)So this is my second book on WN. Those who know me and read my first-ever book exceeding 100 plus chapters (TRA) know how I write stories. Even after writing so many chapters, I would say I am not yet as experienced as others on this platform who have been writing for years.Still, I will do my very best to write an amazing story that I would feel proud of sharing with you all! Hence my 2025 WSA entry with this book!I have learned a lot about writing and storytelling these past 7 months since TRA started, and I will say that all that I have learned I want to apply in this story! There were many mistakes that I made as an amateur writer which I want to improve on with this book. Basically, this book is a younger brother of my last work. Is it connected or not? No comments.I hope you enjoy it. :)About the story:It's a story in a very modern setting. It is about a VR game, but it's not played as a normal MMORPG. I have experimented with a lot of elements here... You will see if you read it. The idea was with me for a long time in my life, I hesitated before putting it into writing. I don't know... it just felt like it was too close to me, and no matter how I write it, I will not be able to do it justice.But I gotta try!It's a really big story—well, in my mind, it is. I will have to see how it goes before I build tons and tons of lore. :)Oh yeah! The MC has a genetic problem and can't speak. He uses sign language. This element is dedicated to one of my closest friends in school who also has the same condition. He was quite popular though, and he helped me, a poor introvert blob, quite a lot in surviving high school... We loved reading and finding interesting books together from the library. :)
