New media articles are essentially a flow of emotions.

Sometimes, you can watch an emotional stream without paying attention to the plot, just by whether the emotion it evokes grabs your attention.

Once I've caught you...

This is enough.

This is why this style has come about.

This also lies in the characteristics of new media articles.

The characteristic of new media online literature is that it was not initially serialized on traditional online literature reading platforms.

He serialized his work on various platforms, including WeChat official accounts, WeChat Moments, forums, mini-programs, and WeChat web pages.

These media outlets share a common characteristic.

That is, they are a single entity that has not formed a strong brand.

They want to earn income.

That requires a strong emotional drive.

Emotions played a role.

That's how users will keep watching.

Users will only pay if they watch the show.

So, besides erotic novels, the most emotionally charged genre online is undoubtedly the novel about a son-in-law who marries into another family.

The classic aspect lies in his character design and the powerful contrast between his subsequent boasting and his subsequent embarrassment.

At the same time, the reach of new media articles extends further into lower-tier communities.

This "downward shift" doesn't mean they have low levels of education.

It has nothing to do with academic qualifications

The key is.

This "downward shift" is because they had never read online novels before.

Perhaps they are actually aware of online novels.

But for special reasons, they don't want to watch it, nor do they have the means to do so.

then.

When these new media outlets recommend these literary and artistic styles to them through various means.

Therefore, strong emotions can instantly attract them.

As for why I recommend traditional online novels, such as those about mortals cultivating immortality, they don't have the same effect.

The main problem is that the audience that new media targets doesn't have that much patience.

They often make their first payment because they are emotionally moved.

If they miss the opportunity, they won't pay once they calm down.

So let's not even talk about popular genres like Mortal Cultivation.

Even other fast-paced online novels are considered too slow and unappealing by them.

At this time, Chen Yang's novel "The Dragon King's Son-in-Law" was published, and its powerful emotional appeal was arguably the most intense in history.

Upon reading the first chapter, many readers couldn't help but raise their hands in a slap.

He said he wanted to slap one of the female characters, Su Qing.

"That Su Qing is fucking deserving of a lot of attention."

“It’s not just Su Qing, the entire Su family is disgusting, like Su Qing’s mother.”

"One after another, Young Master Ye, tsk tsk, the face of this mother-in-law makes me want to kick her to death."

"And Su Qing's younger brother is also brain-dead. He really thinks the Su family is so powerful that he has become a rising star in the province's business world in just three years."

"It's not that they're brainless, it's just that the protagonist is too awesome. The protagonist has been secretly helping the Su family all along, delivering a series of orders to them like crazy. Didn't you see Xiao Chen complaining? With resources like that, even someone with a little ability wouldn't just be in the provincial capital, they would at least be one of the top ten business giants in the country."

"So, does this mean Su Qing is all looks and no brains?"

"Yes."

"If that's the case, then Xiao Chen is still living as a live-in son-in-law in the Su family. Let's get out of here."

"He said before that he did it to repay a debt of gratitude. But it'll be soon, in about a month."

"Not praising the gods is not praising the gods. I thought there wasn't much to write about with a live-in son-in-law. After just one chapter, I'm already incredibly looking forward to what happens next."

"Yes, I think so too. In fact, this feeling is even stronger than that of the novel 'A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality' by Bu Yangshen."

No wonder everyone is so emotional.

They had never seen such a powerful emotional pull.

This technique was naturally honed by hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of authors in previous lives.

It's like the ultimate killing move in the martial arts world.

One move.

Basically, no one can withstand it.

"Hey guys, is it really that humiliating for a son-in-law to live with his wife's family?"

"What do you think?"

"I've never been a live-in son-in-law, so I don't know."

"You'll understand if you think about it. Sons-in-law who marry into the wife's family are already looked down upon. How do you think the wife's family and others will view them?"

"Let me explain, I'm very familiar with this part."

"Hey buddy upstairs, have you ever been a live-in son-in-law?"

"Get lost, I would never be a live-in son-in-law. But I have a childhood friend who was. Of course, I wouldn't look down on him. No man would want to be one unless he was forced into it. My friend had no choice. His parents died when he was young, and he only had a junior high school education. The bride price here is too high, so he couldn't find a wife. So, he became a live-in son-in-law."

"That was truly tragic. What happened next?"

"Later I heard that he was always mistreated at his wife's house. His mother-in-law would often give him the cold shoulder and speak to him without any respect. His wife would also often beat and scold him. Every time he met with his friends, they felt very embarrassed."

"Okay, novels are based on reality. Although Bu Yang Shen exaggerated a bit, sometimes it really is like that."

Many people were filled with righteous indignation.

No wonder they were so excited.

The sheer volume of this kind of emotional outpouring is unstoppable.

More importantly...

Countless readers seem to see themselves reflected in the protagonist, Xiao Chen.

Sense of immersion.

Yes.

It's about immersion.

In just a moment, everyone was completely immersed in the role of Xiao Chen.

This kind of identification doesn't involve them becoming live-in sons-in-law.

While there are sons-in-law who move into a woman's family home in China, they are not many, and the probability is not very high.

For most book lovers, marriage and children are normal occurrences, and there is no possibility of them having an affair.

There's no possibility of them visiting each other's homes; they also have a lot of complaints about their partners and their mothers-in-law.

Thinking about how tired I am from work every day, and then coming home to my wife's sarcastic remarks, I realize I'm exhausted.

Despite being the pillar of the family, she has the lowest status within the household.

Even though you've already worked very hard, your partner still talks about how so-and-so is the president of a company, how much their monthly salary is, how big their house is, and how luxurious their car is.

Obviously...

Yes, this is a rant from a student named "Mingming" in the book review section.

This is a complaint.

Countless men share this sentiment.

Of course, there are also some who are not married.

Unmarried friends don't seem to have these worries.

But actually, there are also a lot of troubles.

Seeing a mother-in-law like that, seeing a wife like that, is terrifying to even think about.

As for your point about this being from a novel and not existing in reality...

But sorry.

In reality, there are things that are even more heartbreaking than this.

In the end, everyone came to this conclusion.

difficult.

It's hard to be a man.

Being a man is fucking hard.

tired.

Being a man is tiring.

Being a man is fucking exhausting.

So what if it's difficult?

So what if I'm tired?

Just like the protagonist, Xiao Chen.

Even if he is very dissatisfied with his wife and his mother-in-law.

Because of a promise, he said nothing and continued to endure in silence.

……

Relative to the starting point.

In other parts of new media channels, Chen Yang's "The Dragon King's Son-in-Law" is even more terrifying.

Although it's only the first chapter.

However, judging from the number of collections and reads.

His work is more eye-catching than any of his previous works.

"A great book, so well written."

"Why is there only one chapter? Where are the others?"

"Update it! Update it quickly..."

Updates will naturally continue.

Chen Yang continued writing the second chapter.

The plot of Chapter Two is also very simple.

After Young Master Ye appeared in the first chapter, the Su family went to great lengths to curry favor with him.

But at this very moment, the matriarch of the Su family fell critically ill.

Just when everyone was at a loss.

Xiao Chen stepped forward.

He successfully cured Old Lady Su using the Nine Needles of Xuanmen.

But dramatically...

Even though Xiao Chen saved the old lady's life, the Su family still didn't have a good impression of him.

They couldn't even believe that Xiao Chen had saved them.

Young Master Ye went even further, stating directly that it was the traditional Chinese medicine doctor he had brought with him who had made the treatment.

Otherwise, how could Xiao Chen have saved Old Madam Ye with just a few needles?

Xiao Chen naturally didn't want to argue with him.

The reason for saving Old Madam Su's life was simply because she had treated him well during her lifetime.

Xiao Chen just didn't say it.

However, Su Qing's younger sister, Su Wan, knew that Xiao Chen had his own unavoidable difficulties.

Meanwhile, these three years.

Su Wan has always liked Xiao Chen.

She always felt that Xiao Chen wasn't the good-for-nothing everyone thought he was.

On the contrary, she thought Xiao Chen was a responsible and good man.

Even so, Xiao Wan didn't dare to do anything else, since Xiao Chen was her sister's husband, even if he was a live-in son-in-law.

But seeing her sister and mother humiliate Xiao Chen time and time again, Su Wan advised Xiao Chen to leave the Su family.

at this time.

Ye's eldest son, who had always coveted Su Wan, suddenly appeared.

He secretly drugged Su Wan and then framed Xiao Chen, claiming that Xiao Chen had designs on Su Wan.

Even after Su Wan wakes up, she will definitely not vouch for Xiao Chen.

Su Qing, however, had completely lost patience with Xiao Chen: "I originally intended to test you over three years, but I never expected you to plot against my sister. From today onwards, you are no longer the son-in-law of the Su family."

"My daughter deserves to spend the rest of her life with only a young and outstanding man like Young Master Ye."

"Get out of here. From today onwards, don't ever set foot in the Su family again."

……

How crazy are wireless articles?

Those who haven't experienced it might find it hard to understand how these articles became so popular back then.

but.

Despite being adored by Chen Yang's fame, "The Dragon King's Son-in-Law" became even more popular than in his previous life.

For example, the main website.

In his previous life, he didn't achieve much success on original reading platforms like the main site.

But now.

Chen Yang only opened the book two days ago.

The collection of "The Dragon King's Son-in-Law" has already exceeded 30.

This is one of the reasons why Chen Yang wasn't recommended on a large scale.

of course.

The website actually wanted to give Chen Yang more recommendations, but Chen Yang declined.

Because Chen Yang's works, which he writes for fun, are always written for his own enjoyment.

Chen Yang didn't know how long he could write, or when he would finish the book.

But seeing such results...

The editors at Qidian's editorial department couldn't sit still any longer.

"If you don't praise the gods, I'll give you a bookshelf to push tomorrow."

"Ah...this...didn't they say we shouldn't accept these big recommendations?"

"I'm speechless, you don't even want a recommendation."

"It's not that I don't want to. As you know, my dual-media projects are always just for fun. As long as everyone enjoys them."

"Everyone's so happy right now, they want you to update more. Look, even without any recommendations, your collection has already surpassed 30. If you get recommendations, that'll be incredible."

"Alright then, alright."

"I'll make the arrangements."

The raccoon sent a smiling emoji.

That night.

Qidian APP gave "The Dragon King's Son-in-Law" a bookshelf promotion.

The so-called bookshelf recommendation is not a recommendation on the website, but a recommendation on the mobile app.

The display location is at the very top of the bookshelf.

He is arguably one of the strongest recommendations on Qidian.com.

Sometimes it's even more powerful than pop-up notifications.

As for why it's more powerful than pop-up notifications...

Many people close the pop-up window immediately upon seeing it, assuming it's an advertisement and therefore don't read it.

The bookshelf can be pushed, that is, it's on top of the bookshelf.

When book lovers browse the books in their bookshelves, they will see a recommendation ad for this book.

This recommendation was truly earth-shattering.

"30 favorites".

"40 favorites".

"50 favorites".

"60 favorites".

This recommendation effect is not solely due to the bookshelf promotion.

In here.

It also benefits from Chen Yang's own fame.

And the popularity of "The Dragon King's Son-in-Law".

At the same time, there is also a completely new theme: sons-in-law who move into the wife's family home.

of course.

More importantly, there's that sentence in the latest chapter.

……

"My God, it's been added to 60 favorites."

"100,000 favorites in one day, 600,000 favorites in six days."

"My eyes are about to be blinded by the shock."

"Don't be blinded by this, this is the power of the Unseen God."

"Brothers, I want to ask, is this novel, 'The Dragon King's Son-in-Law,' really that good?"

"It's so good. Not only is it good, but the latest chapter is the climax of the climax. I peed my pants as soon as I read it."

"Really?"

"You'll know when you see it."

Faced with the terrifying number of collections for "The Dragon King's Son-in-Law".

Countless authors within the industry flocked to Chen Yang's works page.

Urban fiction author "Old Wang" is one of them.

Or.

Old Wang and Chen Yang are old acquaintances.

Lao Wang is not only a well-known author on Qidian, but he has also made a great name for himself in the urban fiction genre.

This guy always courts disaster, writing things he shouldn't, resulting in a lot of his works being banned and only a few remaining.

But despite this.

Many people still enjoy Lao Wang's works.

Old Wang thought.

With his skill in writing about urban life, he may not have many competitors at Qidian, but he is definitely a level above them all.

He hasn't read Chen Yang's new book, "The Dragon King's Son-in-Law".

Although he knew the book was incredibly popular.

Old Wang, however, remained quite calm.

The main reason is that he has read too many of the records of the Unseen God.

He's immune to things like collecting 60 items.

Old Wang knows.

For Chen Yang, he has long since transcended the starting point.

His influence extends far beyond his starting point.

Old Wang didn't go to see it.

But within the circle, in various groups, the discussion is almost always about "The Dragon King's Son-in-Law".

Even Old Wang, who was usually quite calm, was somewhat provoked.

Since he was provoked, Lao Wang, like everyone else, read the work as soon as possible.

The opening was very original.

This directly pioneered the genre of live-in sons-in-law.

At the same time, the setting of a son-in-law living with his wife's family also lays a huge foundation for the conflicts in the whole story.

It's really good.

Old Wang nodded inwardly.

At the same time, the word choice here is also very effective in evoking the reader's emotions.

from this point on.

Old Wang believed that he was not as good as Chen Yang.

However, Lao Wang was not discouraged.

He knew his strengths and weaknesses.

It doesn't matter if you're not as good as Chen Yang in this aspect; you can just make the most of your strengths.

Old Wang continued reading.

The subsequent events unfolded exactly as he had anticipated.

Another humiliation, and then being framed.

The plot is not complicated.

But the writing style is hundreds or even thousands of times more sophisticated.

"Brilliant."

Old Wang became increasingly alarmed as he looked at it.

The more I watched "The Dragon King's Son-in-Law" I became completely engrossed in it.

But as a professional writer, Lao Wang has plenty of composure.

He suppressed his emotions and continued watching.

"Xiao Chen, from today onwards, you are no longer the son-in-law of the Su family."

See here.

Old Wang's lips curled into a slight smile.

This statement appears to be an insult to the protagonist, Xiao Chen.

But considering the preceding plot...

Isn't this precisely the opportunity to give the protagonist a chance to return to the sea?
Old Wang did indeed think of this.

But he didn't expect it.

Xiao Chen's dragon returning to the sea was so awe-inspiring.

The three-year period has ended; we respectfully welcome the Dragon King back to his throne.

Dozens of men in black knelt behind Xiao Chen, waiting for him to give orders.

See here.

boom……

Old Wang stood up abruptly.

He could hardly believe it.

Then, his eyes stared intently at the sentence.

The three-year period has ended; we respectfully welcome the Dragon King back to his throne.

The three-year period has ended; we respectfully welcome the Dragon King back to his throne.

The three-year period has ended; we respectfully welcome the Dragon King back to his throne.

He kept muttering to himself.

he knows.

Even if he wrote for another 100 years, he might not be able to catch up with this one sentence.

(End of this chapter)
