First of all, I would like to apologize to readers and friends who like this book: since the end of last year, this book has been updated intermittently, and sometimes I promised you to update it, but I didn't fulfill my promise, which made everyone very disappointed in me, and I myself feel very sorry, so I will open a single chapter today to explain it.

First of all, there are physical reasons. I am in my fifties, and I have been suffering more and more in recent years. Two years ago, I suffered from psoriasis, which could not be cured for a long time, the skin on my hands, legs, and back was ulcerated and itchy, and sometimes I couldn't sleep all night, and I didn't have the energy to go to work or write novels the next day, so I had to ask for leave from the unit. Last year, when I went to the hospital for an examination, there was a problem with the liver again, and the doctor said that psoriasis was also related to liver problems. Since last year, I have been going to the provincial capital two to three times a month to see a professor at the First Affiliated Hospital of Hunan Province to see a doctor and prescribe medicine, but my condition has only been relieved, not cured, and I am still using traditional Chinese medicine for treatment. I have reported this to the editor, but I have not explained it to my readers.

Secondly, because last year was the reform of the national and local taxation institutions, I was also quite busy with my work, and I often had to write a variety of materials, sometimes several in a day, leaving me with limited time to write novels. In addition, since the second half of last year, officialdom novels have suffered a second round of "crackdowns", and many websites have completely banned officialdom novels. 17k Novel Network takes great care of us as the authors of officialdom novels, and still allows us to continue writing, but there is no recommendation for the time being, there are no export channels, and there are many restrictions on the content, which really hits our enthusiasm for writing, so there is no passion and motivation to write at all, and even a painful torture. Sometimes, I open a novel file and sit in front of the computer for a night, but I can't write a word, or I feel like shit when I write it, so I have to delete what I have written.

Third, there are problems with the thinking and character design of "One Husband as an Official", resulting in the characters not being distinct and prominent, and many plots are made up, which feels very sluggish and difficult to write, unlike writing "Shi Tu Tianjiao" smoothly and fluently, so every time I open the writing document, it is like doing coolies, which I believe people who have written experience feel the same way. For example, the latest plot writes that Lu Tao is ready to use Du Xiaoyu's identity to obtain evidence of O'Neill's illegal crimes, this plot is a bit unreasonable and does not conform to the protagonist's setting, but because the wood is already in the boat, it can only be written forcibly.

Finally, a few words of verbose: The new book "One Husband and Wife" is a guaranteed contract, and the guaranteed price is okay, as long as I write a chapter, I will be paid accordingly, but I have very few updates during this time, which means that my income is also very small, this is not the result I want, if it is not for objective reasons, I definitely want to make more money, so please understand readers and friends. Now there are some reader friends complaining and even scolding in the comment area, for the complaining readers, I'm sorry, so the comments are kept, but some readers scolded very ugly, all kinds of curses in the first month, involving my family, looking at it is really uncomfortable, so I deleted these scolding comments, I hope you understand.

At present, I am reorganizing my thinking, trying to turn the current unreasonable plot as reasonable as possible, and I am also working hard to regulate my body, and when my physical condition is better, my thinking is clear, and I strive to maintain stability and update.

Thank you again for your tolerance and understanding.
