Chapter 76: Launching Dreams Amid Self-Reflection
It feels like the story has been launched, but the male protagonist’s father still hasn’t appeared, and the story seems like it hasn’t even started yet.
Currently, the main characters haven’t been fully introduced. The slightly more important ones remaining are probably these: Zhao Chun (male), Jiang Jinghuai (male), Lu Chi (male), Guan Kunling (female), Li Yibai (male), Jia Wenxiu (female)...
Special reminder: the female protagonist’s career arc isn’t about eating and drinking, and it hasn’t started yet. This story will touch on the entertainment industry of the 1980s. The female protagonist’s career arc includes cultural entertainment and beauty, as well as two relatively peculiar and magical elements—I’ll stop here for now. But rest assured, it won’t disappoint you.
Our great female protagonist could never just open a small shop! Our goal is the stars and the vast oceans. We must have the world in our hearts to set our sights on the universe!
But don’t worry, it won’t be too exaggerated, because going overboard would instantly turn it into a Mary Sue story.
Let me say a few extra words here, haha. I’ve heard that Military Wife novels always turn into cultivation or fantasy stories toward the end. Personally, I don’t like overly dramatic characters, which led to me not having read many Military Wife period novels. There’s not a single Military Wife novel that I’ve read from start to finish—usually just a few Chapters at the beginning before I got too busy. So I don’t really know the common tropes of Military Wife novels and can only write according to my own ideas.
A month ago, I made up my mind to see how my peers write and approached it with a learning mindset. I stumbled upon Ba Pi Da Da. Ba Pi Da Da is an author with a unique style and life wisdom. Seeing her book review section and introduction, I didn’t dare to look—I felt anxious and panicked. At first glance, I knew she was the type of author I wouldn’t dare to read. The reason? I really don’t like overly dramatic characters, and I overdosed on tragic stories when I was younger. Too many tragedies—physical, emotional, in every genre imaginable—tragedy overload, which left me traumatized and now I’m scared of it.
But I truly admire Ba Pi Da Da. I know her works are excellent, even if I don’t dare read them.
