Looking back at her previous life, Yun Hua wanted to cover her face with her hands.

How could she forgive?

There was no way she could forgive.

However, none of that had happened yet; she would never let her life go down the same path.

She had to plan and prepare for everything before it all happened.

It was already 2006. Computers had begun to become household items. While computers remained something only available in web cafes for students in the countryside, many families in the city owned computers, even if they did not really know how to use them.

Web novels were only beginning to take shape now, and the contents were not as diversified as they were a decade later, with all sorts of weird twists and turns.

Although web novel authors now had a better wield of their language, their novels’ contents were rather singular.

Time traveling, which was a popular theme a decade later, had just begun to take root. There were hardly any novels with this theme.

Yun Hua intended to take on that theme—specifically the Qing dynasty time travel theme that was immensely popular a few years later.

Back home, Jiang Huanqing had already prepared dinner. “You’re not going for night study today?”

Yun Hua shook her head. “No, it’s too noisy in school. I’ll self-study at home.”

Jiang Huanqing did not say much.

Nan Xi Middle School did not make night study compulsory for seventh-grade and eighth-grade students, especially for star students like Yun Hua. However, night study was mandatory for all ninth-grade students.

Yun Hua did not want to waste her time, nor could she afford to waste it.

Returning to her room, Yun Hua flew through her revision, class prep, and homework.

Good results were the basis of everything. She wanted to write novels, but she would not give up her education to do it.

Yun Hua had a good foundation and a good memory. Eighth grade was not difficult for her. But she was not complacent, and practice made perfect.

She paid particular attention to math, physics, and English before taking out the topical exercises the school gave to students. She finished all the questions that she had left out before and checked her answers carefully.

Being focused made Yun Hua very efficient. In two hours, she had completed all the work she had assigned herself.

Standing up to stretch, Yun Hua took out a new notebook to prepare for her new novel!

Her mother, Jiang Huanqing, knocked on the door and brought a cup of milk in. Seeing the practice questions on the table, she did not disturb her daughter and left swiftly.

Yun Hua started writing after she drank the glass of milk.

Writing a novel was not like writing essays, but they shared one thing—an outline!

The first thing one had to decide was the topic, which she had already decided on. The storyline was next!

The novel’s title and introduction were both very important, as was the beginning of the novel!

A good beginning would attract many readers, but an outline was the more pressing matter at hand.

Yun Hua’s objective today was character development.

That was coming up with the leads and other important characters in the novel. Details like their names, age, sex, appearance, interests, etc…

Hold on!

Qing dynasty time travel was overdone a few years later. As someone who has watched years worth of such drama, she had a lot of content in her mind.

She was brimming with ideas, which she quickly wrote with the tip of her pen!
