Peninsula: I run a bed and breakfast on Jeju Island

After finishing her meal, Li Ran returned to her computer.

He glanced at the already formatted document.

Chapter 1 Crimson

pain!

it hurts!

My head hurts so much!

The bizarre and whispering dream quickly shattered, and Zhou Mingrui, fast asleep...

That's right, the work that Li Ran was preparing to plagiarize was "Lord of Mysteries".

As a phenomenal work, its meticulous setting and unique system have attracted many people.

Li Ran in her previous life was one of them.

The original Lord of Mysteries was released on April 1, 2018.

Li Ran went to the website to check and found that not only was "Lord of Mysteries" gone, but all of his other works had also disappeared.

In other words, the author seems to have been blown away by some mysterious force.

He didn't understand the specific principle, but as the saying goes, "A fool wouldn't take advantage of a good deal."

He spent an entire day writing the first three chapters of "Lord of Mysteries".

However, he hasn't decided yet whether to go for inside shots or direct shots.

For internal submissions, you send the email to the editor and usually get a result within one or two days, whether it's accepted or not.

If that doesn't work, you can try submitting to a different editor.

Straight hair is a real ordeal.

The drafts are published directly, and the data from reader engagement speaks for itself.

It's normal to not hear from them for a week.

After thinking for a while, Li Ran decided to get her hair straight.

Generally speaking, newcomers have a higher chance of getting a contract directly.

Writing 4,000 words a day shouldn't be too difficult... right?

He was a little uncertain.

Li Ran logged onto the website to create a new book, filling in the title and pen name.

The book title remains "Lord of Mysteries," and he has no intention of changing it.

As for pen names?

He thought about it for a moment, then went up to lose.

[The Squid That Loves to Swim]

I hope I can borrow some luck from the unseen forces.

He pursed his lips.

If he were to choose a pen name himself, he would probably only come up with names like "Extra A" or "Extra C," which are obviously names that indicate a failure.

It's better to just ride on someone else's good fortune.

"Ding-dong~"

Li Ran glanced at her phone.

It's still KakaoTalk.

It's still Choi Jin-ri.

[Has Brin been eating properly?]

Since she left the guesthouse, she has been asking about Li Ranbulin's situation every few days.

They care about her even more than when she first lived here.

Li Ran raised an eyebrow and replied:

[This is the third time you've asked today.]

[Really? Hehe.]

She sent a silly-smiling emoji.

Li Ran glanced at the emoji with a smile, then walked over to Brin's side.

"Click~"

He simply took a picture of Brin eating with her head down and sent it to her.

[Are you relieved now?]

Choi Jin-ri quickly replied:

I've always been at ease! I'm just starting to miss it a little.

Li Ran's lips curled up slightly as she glanced at Brin.

[If you miss it, you'd better come back as soon as possible. Choi Jin-ri, you don't want anything to happen to it, do you?]

He then sent a grinning emoji.

[Huh? Something sounds a bit off about what you're saying.]

[Really? That's just Choi Jin-ri's imagination!]

Choi Jin-ri shook her head and glanced at her manager beside her.

She is currently sitting in the car on her way back to rest.

There's another event waiting for us tomorrow morning.

She leaned against the chair, typing with her head down.

[Li Ran, you should call me Teacher Cui, right? After all, I seriously taught you Korean for an entire afternoon!]

There's an old Chinese saying, something like, "A teacher for a day is a mother for life."

Li Ran rolled her eyes.

[Where did you learn this nonsensical proverb? It's "A teacher for a day is a father for life." And you have the nerve to say that! You said you'd teach me Korean, but after ten days, you only really taught me one afternoon. The rest of the time you were either eating or making me take you out to play.]

Choi Jin-ri stuck out her tongue slightly, looking a little embarrassed.

[Anyway, are you saying I didn't teach her anything? And how can a girl like me be a "father"? A mother is a mother.]

[I also want to say that the line of people who want to call me "Mom" stretches all the way to the North Pole!]

That's true.

Li Ran had to admit that this was indeed a possibility.

Anyway, he had a friend in his past life who often called other people "Mom" when playing games.

Li Ran didn't quite understand this mentality. However, the world is full of wonders, and although he didn't understand it, he respected it.

He glanced at the messages for a while, then his eyes darted around.

[Then you asked me to teach you how to take care of tomatoes and cook! Are you going to ask me to teach you that too?]

Choi Jin-ri was somewhat speechless.

She did indeed have Li Ran teach her how to take care of tomatoes.

[If that really doesn't work, I'll call you Mom, and you'll call me Dad?]

She tentatively uttered a sentence.

Li Ran rolled her eyes, feeling both amused and exasperated.

[You're really going to call him? If people find out, you'll be laughed at to death.]

[So what you're bothered about is people finding out? Then just keep it a secret, right? We're all a generation older than each other, so it's not like you're losing out.]

"Cough cough cough..." Li Ran choked on his saliva and was also shocked by Cui Zhenli's thought process.

He leaned close to Brin and gently pinched its face.

"Look at your master, what kind of things are he saying?"

He flipped his phone camera and took a picture of himself and Brin.

Li Ran sent the photos over.

[You should just focus on watching Brin. Can you put away those weird ideas in your head for now?]

"Tsk." Choi Jin-ri curled her lip.

She looked at Bulin and Li Ran in the photo, and the corners of her mouth turned up slightly.

After a while, Li Ran received a reply from Cui Zhenli.

In the original photo of Li Ranfa, her eyes were now covered with thick dark circles, making her look like a panda.

[Choi Jin-ri, how childish are you!]

He smiled.

[slightly.]

Choi Jin-ri posted a meme of herself sticking out her tongue.

She was just about to update the picture, like adding a cat whisker to his face, when she received Li Ran's "revenge".

He then proceeded to "ruthlessly destroy" several group photos taken at the beach.

Whenever Choi Jin-ri's full face was shown, he would draw a long, eight-character mustache on it.

[You just called me childish! But you're not much better yourself!]

Choi Jin-ri nodded.

[That's incorrect. What I'm doing is giving them a taste of their own medicine.]

Li Ran suddenly said something in a literary style.

She tilted her head, gently supporting her chin with one hand.

[It's just the same few photos over and over again, and they're all group photos.]

[You draw me, and I can draw you next to me!]

As she spoke, she focused on giving Li Ran a "beauty treatment" based on the doodles on the photos Li Ran sent her.

Looking at the colorful face on her face in the photo, Li Ran's lips twitched.

[You think I don't want to post solo photos? It's just that I don't have any on my phone yet!]

[Wait while I download a few pictures online. Then you can see how I color them.]

He stubbornly insisted.

"Ding-dong~"

Li Ran was slightly taken aback.

All that was seen was that Choi Jin-ri sent over a photo.

The carriage was dimly lit, but moonlight streamed in through the side window, illuminating half of her face.

She didn't pose deliberately; it seemed like she just made a casual gesture.

Choi Jin-ri looked at the camera with a slight smile, as if she could look directly into Lee Ran's eyes through the lens.

[You should have said you wanted my photos earlier!]

Her news followed shortly after.

Li Ran stared at the photo for a long time.

The phone screen brightness remained the same, but he still felt it was a bit dazzling.

He lowered his phone a little, then picked it up again and glanced at it.

It's still the same.
