After my triumphs and defeats, I created multiple aliases across countless worlds.

However, this transformation seems to have been an unexpected success!

In Akane Akasaka's opinion, the manuscripts for Byakuya's two books, "5 Centimeters Per Second" and "White Album," once published, would definitely be considered his best transitional works.

She had only hoped that Bai Ye would produce one passable work, but Bai Ye gave her a huge surprise—two masterpieces!

Chapter 228 - Are all geniuses this willful?

In Akane Akasaka's view, his transformation was absolutely a great success.

No one else can surprise me in this regard. Akane Kousaka has seen too many transformations, including many geniuses. Indeed, many outstanding works can emerge during the transformation process.

But works like White Night, which span such a wide range, are not only excellent but also quite perfect.

This was the first time Akane Akasaka had ever met him.

She was even unwilling to admit that Bai Ye's talent was even greater than her own.

Akane Akasaka has always believed that she has great talent, but there are actually very few people who truly acknowledge it.

And now, it seems there's one more.

With fans of Icha Icha Paradise here, and given the high quality of these two works, even Akane Kousaka doesn't dare to imagine what his two new works will be like when they are released.

However, after thinking about this, she suddenly thought of another problem.

It seems I didn't sign a contract with Bai Ye?!

Although it seems that the previous "Icha Icha Paradise" has already signed a contract with Baiye.

However, I didn't sign Bai Ye as a person; I only signed the contract for the work.

From the very beginning, she simply saw that Bai Ye's novel was very popular.

In addition, they rarely sign contracts with authors; most collaborations involve writing and publishing books.

Therefore, Bai Ye approaching him at this time indicates that the other party is willing to cooperate with him.

But there is still one problem...

He might not necessarily want to sign a contract with me!

This tug-of-war, having to negotiate with Bai Ye again, is really unpleasant.

At this point, the conditions must be better than before.

Compared to Love Paradise, these two books may not have a large audience, but they are more respectable.

You mean this "Intimacy Paradise" thing?

Would you dare to buy it in public?

Few people dare to do that.

However, according to the data obtained from the publisher's backend system...

Actually, many people have bought them, but they've opted for online shopping.

Even if people have bought it or even seen it, they are unlikely to bring it up here.

This makes it difficult for many people to talk about "Intimate Paradise," even though many have seen it. However, if others ask, they might not bring it up.

In reality, this book is rarely mentioned, but it generates a lot of discussion online.

This has actually created two extremes.

However, in Akane Akasaka's opinion...

Actually, none of that is the point.

The key point is that the setting and content of these two books are both excellent.

This will definitely have a significant impact both online and in real life in the future.

Furthermore, it could even be adapted into comics and animated films.

Overall, its potential is definitely better than that of Intimate Paradise.

Although action movie companies also made offers to buy it.

But this thing definitely won't sell for a high price.

But these two books are different.

"Your two books are very good. I can offer you an even better deal than before. If you sign a contract with us and become our partner, we'll split the profits 70/30 after deducting operating costs, and you'll retain the copyright. However, we have the right of first refusal, meaning you'll need to sell them to us at the same price later. How does that sound?"

Akane Akane came up with a solution: to cross over from "Byakuya Icha Icha Paradise" to the current "5 Centimeters Per Second".

She also knew that Bai Ye had great potential, and there was no need for her to follow the rules and regulations of the past.

She needs to sign Bai Ye quickly.

If Bai Ye is contacted by other publishing houses and subsequently signs a contract, she won't even have time to cry.

Bai Ye has never signed a contract with them!

She couldn't just watch a promising talent slip away from her grasp.

"Sign a contract? The work itself, or me as a person?"

A hint of surprise flashed in Bai Ye's eyes. He had also been somewhat flustered after hearing what Akane Kousaka said.

In reality, the relationship between writers and publishers is more of a collaboration.

It's not about signing an individual, since publishing houses also have to bear risks if they sign an author.

However, this has happened before. For example, for very strong authors, publishers will sign exclusive agreements with them.

They will be given more favorable conditions, and all future publications will be prioritized for publication with this publisher.

Bai Ye also knew about this.

However, he didn't actually want to go too far in the world of novels.

After all, I just wanted to complete some tasks.

How much money can you make writing novels?

Moreover, she became famous because of "Icha Icha Paradise," and she still intends to pursue an idol career.

But this will probably become a 'dark history' of his/herself in the future, right?

"Signing you up is a deal I don't think any other publisher can offer right now, and I'll use all my resources to make you a literary giant. How about it? Want to consider it?!"

Akane Kousaka believes she has already presented Byakuya with the best possible terms.

There shouldn't be any reason to refuse, right?

"I never actually considered writing books all the time."

Bai Ye remained silent for a while, sighed, and then prepared to tell Akane Kousaka about the matter.

I wrote the book partly as a duty, and partly to change my living conditions.

Once the matter is resolved, I most likely won't be writing a book.

"Why? Because of the comics?"

After listening to Byakuya's words, Akane Akane suddenly remembered that Byakuya seemed to have a side job as a manga artist.

Even Akane Kousaka couldn't tell which of the two was the main job and which was the side job.

After all, both of these paths seem to be very promising for Baiye's development.

"It's not just because of comics, it's also because I want to pursue an idol career, like making movies and TV dramas."

Although Bai Ye did not want to become a so-called all-rounder.

But standing on this stage, enjoying the feeling of being adored by thousands, seems much better than quietly writing books behind the scenes.

After hearing Byakuya's words, Akane Akane's face flashed with a strange expression.

Then he looked Bai Ye up and down.

Akane Akane originally thought that Byakuya wanted to ask for even higher terms.

They are all considering whether or not to push themselves to their limits.

If all else fails, there's nothing she can do.

But to his surprise, Bai Ye rejected him because he wanted to become an idol.

What the hell does he want to do?

Novels, comics, and now idols.

So all geniuses are this capricious?!

Chapter 229 - How about we engage in some underhanded tactics?

Although Bai Ye's various ideas are somewhat outrageous.

But then again, if it were Bai Ye, then it would be understandable.

As for the comic, it is currently being serialized because Bai Ye corrected many of the bugs in the early stages of the original comic.
