First off, I should clarify — the "grand finale" mentioned in today's chapter refers to the final volume of Soul Land, not the final chapter. My bad. That title was originally written for my Taiwanese publisher, and when my wife uploaded the chapters this morning, she just put it up as-is. If anyone misunderstood, Little San apologizes first. Soul Land has entered its final week, the last seven chapters, so please, everyone, go ahead and smash those monthly tickets my way one last time. Thank you. Please do read what follows — I really appreciate it.

Soul Land is about to end, and we've entered the final week. As per Little San's usual tradition, the new book has naturally entered its preparation phase. Registration is already complete, so I'd like to ask all readers to go ahead and bookmark it first. Once Soul Land finishes its full run this Sunday — the 13th — the new book will begin uploading simultaneously.
"The Yin-Yang Crown" is the work Little San has spent the longest time preparing. In fact, before Soul Land had even begun, this book was already being conceived alongside it. The reason Soul Land came first was simply that its setting was completed first. At that time, the outline for "The Yin-Yang Crown" was the first thing finished, and it was temporarily titled "God of Wine." Throughout the year it took to write Soul Land, Little San was constantly gathering research materials for "The Yin-Yang Crown," fleshing out its outline and worldbuilding.
This book will feature an entirely new setting — but one completely different from Soul Land. Little San will combine yin and yang, the five elements, the Heavenly Stems, and fantasy elements to create a fresh and intriguing world that I believe will surprise and delight everyone.
It's been nearly six years since I started writing back in February 2004. In those six years, Little San has never missed a single update. I believe all of you who have supported me all along remember this clearly — Little San's seamless chain of daily updates has become something of a trademark. I can say with pride that not a single reader has ever called Little San unreliable. Whether it was wind, rain, illness, exhaustion, getting married, having a child, or all manner of life's troubles, nothing has ever interrupted Little San's dedication to writing day after day for these six years. The words I've always held close to my heart — the ones I've repeated time and again — are still etched deep within me, and I believe I've lived up to them. As an author, the first thing you owe is loyalty to every single reader, and only then will readers continue to support you. Six years, two thousand days and nights, and every single day the readers have been able to find me here. Averaging well over eight thousand words of updates daily, Little San has now written over eighteen million words across nine complete works. Readers who enjoy Little San's writing style are truly fortunate, because Little San will be here with you every single day.
As for Soul Land's results — everyone has seen them. It set a new record across all of Little San's works, and my confidence in "The Yin-Yang Crown" is even greater than it was for Soul Land. Please continue to support Little San, and I will repay you all with the steadiest updates and the best content. Let's make our new book "The Yin-Yang Crown" shine just as brightly together.
To repeat one last time: this book will begin updating simultaneously this Sunday, the moment the final chapter of Soul Land goes live. Please go bookmark it in advance — thank you.
