A few words.

Seeing readers asking whether I sold my pen name, to be honest, although the pen name Ji Tuo has never achieved skyrocketing popularity, there are probably very few people nowadays who could afford to buy it and would actually be willing to pay for it.

The style of this book is indeed different from my previous ones.

The reasons are as I have mentioned before: first, during the year of the plague, I wanted to write an alternate-history comedy to help readers relax and lighten the mood.

Second, I have already written many books in the style of Homeland. Even if the readers' aesthetic fatigue hasn't set in yet, I myself have grown weary of writing them.

Although writing the way I used to would mean no risks and a much easier time for me, life, after all, requires a bit of tossing and turning now and then, a chance to challenge oneself. Isn't that right?

If you all enjoy reading it and drop by to let me know, I am deeply grateful.

If any reader happens to dislike it, please go check out the works of other master authors. There are actually plenty of great books out there; just look around a bit, and you will find them.

Since we have known each other for many years, there is really no need for us to hurt one another, right?
