Chapter 24: A Casual Chat Especially For Readers On Other Platforms
The author can see comments from various platforms in the backend, which is very interesting. After the latest two chapters, the reactions from readers on Xiaoxiang Hongxiu QQ are completely different from those on Qidian—they’re all shocked, confused, questioning and backing off, asking why the guard is female, and if it’s a different genre? While Qidian readers are calm as they’ve long guessed it (Empress Ji’s foundation).
So here’s an explanation: the book’s title is “Her Guard,” her guard, so my setting is that the guard is the protagonist. I’m writing a female protagonist novel, so the guard is female.
It’s a romance novel, with a female protagonist, male protagonist, and male supporting characters, with unrequited love, mutual protection leading to romance over time, life-and-death separations (haven’t figured it out yet), in short, the same formula as all of Xi Xing’s novels so far.
Very sorry for misleading some readers. This is a story where the female protagonist is the guard of the female supporting character, the female supporting character is the guard of the female protagonist, the female protagonist and male protagonist and male supporting characters are guards to each other, and so on—a whole mess of guard stories.
There are many stories of female protagonists and male guards; everyone can go and choose those to read instead.
