The Female Lead Decides to Act Wickedly-Chapter 1217 - 456: The Stingy Dad Arrives (Part 14)_3

Chapter 1217: Chapter 456: The Stingy Dad Arrives (Part 14)_3

Finally, he cleared the high-interest loans weighing on his mind, and He Zhuo was thrilled.

In his excitement, he began to splurge again.

Because he could easily repay online loans, he wasn’t too concerned about borrowing money.

This led to a bad cycle—

Spending in advance, repeatedly borrowing high-interest loans.

After receiving manuscript fees, even if it’s double, it’s only enough to pay off debts.

No surplus, no savings; when he wanted to spend money, he’d continue borrowing.

He Zhuo seemed to have forgotten his original intention of writing online novels—

To earn his first pot of gold, and with startup funds, begin making videos to earn big money.

He was completely stuck in a vicious cycle of digging holes and earning money to fill holes.

Yet his earning speed always seemed to lag behind his spending speed.

After working hard for six months, his bank account still had no deposits.

Besides some luxury goods and contacts of a few ambiguous girls in his phone, he had nothing.

"What’s this, I, I still have the system!"

He Zhuo did have some worries, always feeling he shouldn’t be like this.

But he had gotten used to this lifestyle, and was reluctant to easily step out of his comfort zone.

Just as He Zhuo was gradually becoming disheartened, things were going very smoothly for He Yue.

She had a good writing style and enough imagination.

On He Tiantian’s side, she would "show off" by telling He Yue about many "unique people."

"... In the health product club I often go to, there’s Old Mrs. Feng, quite a legendary figure."

"I heard that when she was young, she eloped with her partner and had kids, forcing both sets of parents to acknowledge them."

"Her partner died early, and she single-handedly raised two children; tsk tsk, that experience is more exciting than TV dramas!"

"And there’s Old Man Seo, like me, one of the few not fooled by health products!"

"Guess what, this Old Man Seo spent time in jail when he was young; that was the 70s and 80s, people were straightforward, yet he dared to forge official seals and resell goods!"

"Well, he ended up getting himself into jail, and his children suffered too. Let me tell you..."

He Tiantian babbled, using the health product events as an opportunity to tell He Yue stories she knew or experienced in other small worlds.

Her "stories" accumulated a lot of material for He Yue’s writing.

Additionally, He Yue made time to go to the library and look up many references.

After more than a month of preparation, He Yue finally started writing.

She wrote a narrative from the male lead’s perspective in a rebirth era novel.

In reality, the male lead is a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties, who achieved certain successes but also left many regrets.

An accident sent him back thirty years.

That was the late 70s, and the male lead was an eighteen-year-old about to face college entrance exams.

Returning to rebirth, the male lead was excited, thrilled, ready to take a completely different path than in his past life, to make up for life’s regrets.

He used his advanced knowledge, working hard studying while starting his own career.

He Yue’s writing was excellent, with material provided by her dad, plus historical research she did.

Thus, her book was exceptionally thrilling.

The narrative was rich in era atmosphere, evoking a strange nostalgia in many older readers.

Characters in the novel were vividly portrayed; there were ambitious young people, strong and persevering women, ignorant and backward elders, and infuriating top-grade personalities.

Characters were full but not stereotypical; even sacrificial lambs appearing briefly were depicted lively.

When the new book was released, within just a week, collections broke through three thousand.

Followed by a successful contract signing and it got a recommendation spot.

In less than half a month, He Yue’s rebirth era novel entered the new book list.

He Yue was happy but didn’t become overconfident.

She continued her creative enthusiasm, writing during spare time and continuing research.

Two months later, He Yue’s novel successfully launched and went straight into the top ten bestsellers.

Before the winter vacation officially began, He Yue received her first manuscript fee, a whopping fifty thousand.

A third of it was from reader rewards alone.

Seeing a string of zeros in her bank account gave He Yue a sense of security. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

Furthermore, whether gathering data or joining writer groups, He Yue met some people and started building connections.

He Yue felt she could find a way to save her brother...
