Preface to "The Unclear Distinction Between Right and Wrong" followed by "The Finger-Cutting Lady"

Every autumn, the Chief Minister of the Golden Splendor Dynasty, Dongfang Fei, would invariably visit the residence of the former Inspector General, Ruan Woqiu, to check whether the plaque inscribed with "Haoran Zhengqi" had gathered dust. This had always been a source of amusement for him, even in the absence of fish or shrimp, until the appearance of the big fish, Ruan Dongqian, the Deputy Minister of Revenue, began to shift his interest.

In summary, without further ado. By this point, it should be clear that this book is a sequel, sequel, sequel (to "The Cry"). If you have not read "The Confusion of Right and Wrong," you may temporarily set this book aside (if you insist on reading this one first, I am not afraid of you, as I have provided the "simplest summary of previous events")

Feel free to take a look at your leisure

If asked about the author's feelings regarding the nearly one-year gap before writing the sequel, the response would be that it was a concerted effort to write both parts, making it truly a "two-part" series. Readers must read it in one go to fully appreciate it; the author, after a year, had to consider many aspects and redefine the positioning of "The Fingerless Lady" before putting pen to paper. Ultimately, rather than viewing it as a sequel, it is more accurate to say that after a year, what I wanted to write and have written is akin to a collection of units, allowing readers the flexibility to read the two books without needing to finish them in one sitting.

Coincidentally, with the arrival of autumn this year, my book "The Fingerless Lady" is also set to be released

Furthermore, the author would like to add one more statement—this story is a prologue that connects to the end of "The Unclear Distinction Between Right and Wrong"

Do you find the title familiar? Yes, it is the sequel to "The Distinction Between Right and Wrong." Originally, I planned for "The Distinction Between Right and Wrong" to be my first complete romance novel last year, but the unexpected release of "The Family Buddha Enters the Door" prompted me to make a decisive move and directly publish a book titled "The Struggle for Officialdom" as a sequel to "The Distinction Between Right and Wrong," leaving it at a point that can be considered a conclusion yet does not feel like one, akin to a love at first sight. Only the author knows that there is actually a sequel, ensuring that no one is urging for it, which is the best way to avoid pressure. (If someone has already guessed that there is a sequel, then you are too astute.)

This is what is referred to as the fate of writing. If it were not for the guidance of the family Buddha back then, today's "The Fingerless Lady" would have taken on a different form.

"The Inability to Distinguish Right from Wrong" narrates the process of two individuals getting to know each other, but due to the distance between them, it remains at the stage of love at first sight. In contrast, "The Fingerless Bride" represents the progression of their relationship.
