Volume 1, Chapter 44: Can Such a Coincidence Really Exist in This World?

Amid widespread confusion across the entire internet, someone finally discovered the novel updated around 9:35 this morning on Eight Cat Novel Network.

Moreover, the production team of the show "Mom is on a Business Trip" had professional technical staff who also confirmed that a novel was updated on Eight Cat shortly after Shen Qi finished typing.

“Queen of Melody, we need your consent once more. Would you agree to let us reveal these novels?” Li Lei asked.

Li Huange was someone who couldn’t keep things to herself, especially matters concerning the man she had lived with for three years.

Her curiosity was overwhelming.

After all, one of the reasons she signed up for this show was to uncover what Shen Qi was hiding.

As the female CEO of an entertainment company, Li Huange was well aware of how certain tactics could boost popularity.

Yet, it was only an exposure that these novels might have been written by Shen Qi, and there were many novels—pinpointing the exact one wasn’t so simple.

“Alright, I agree!” she said.

【Queen Huange is awesome! She really treats us like family.】

【So looking forward to this...】

【I’m a die-hard Shen Qi fan with psychic vibes. Just give me the title, no matter how many options, I’ll recognize it instantly.】

One by one, novel titles began to appear on the big screen.

“The Rural Little Divine Doctor: Master of Gynecological Massage.”

“That Night, I Hurt You Deeply.”

“The Relationship Between Piston Exercise and Rice Irrigation.”

“Fantasy: Give Me an Empress, I Can Create a Sect.”

“Sea of Filth: Flashy Start with Three Thousand Jin of Diluted Excrement.”

…

【Why do modern novel websites have such titles?】

【I’ve damn well added all of these to my bookshelf. Gotta show I love reading.】

【I feel Shen Qi might have written “Sea of Filth,” after all, he sings “Picking Up Excrement.”】

【Could it be that he collects excrement to make that flashy diluted stuff?】

【Just reading these titles gives me goosebumps, then I break into a sweat.】

Everyone in the studio was torn between laughter and disbelief at these book titles.

Just as Fang Qian was about to ask Li Huange which title she thought Shen Qi was most likely to have written, the last possible title appeared, eliciting a gasp from everyone.

“The Diva’s Wife Is Swamped with Work, While I Lie Back and Get Livestreamed Across the Entire Internet!”

Li Huange suddenly stood up, eyes filled with incredulity.

Zhuo Yiyi murmured, “This… this book title fits Sister Huange and Shen Qi’s situation perfectly!”

…

At Eight Cat Novel Network headquarters, in a conference room.

“What? You’re saying Shen Qi wrote a book on our site? Which one?”

“The most likely is ‘The Diva’s Wife Is Swamped with Work, While I Lie Back and Get Livestreamed Across the Entire Internet,’ but ‘Sea of Filth: Flashy Start with Three Thousand Jin of Diluted Excrement’ is also very possible!”

“Useless! Just check the registered author info and you’ll find out immediately!”

“Checking now!”

“The books suspected to be by Shen Qi are gaining traction. Push them all to recommendations! Increase the traffic! Once confirmed, the exposure must be maximized!”

“Understood.”

“Also, act quickly to leverage the hype from the ‘Mom is on a Business Trip’ show! Such a golden opportunity must not be wasted!”

…

Back in the studio.

“Sister Huange, I really envy you. Shen Qi loves you so much that he must have written all the little moments you shared into his book!” Zhuo Yiyi’s face shone with admiration.

Li Huange felt her mind struggling to keep up.

Did he really write novels?

And about my life?

He loves me so deeply—and yet I accidentally slapped him. How heartbroken he must be.

Did I really shouldn’t have rejected him last night?

They say hot-blooded men are prone to suppress their feelings. He’s so strong…

He must have been holding back too much to act like that.

Meanwhile, several authors on Eight Cat suddenly noticed their books were gaining popularity. Countless reviews, chapter comments, paragraph critiques, and requests for updates appeared overnight, along with many rewards.

The most frequent question in the comments was: “Dear author, are you Shen Qi?”

Shen Qi?

What the hell?

At the same time, countless new novels suddenly appeared on Eight Cat.

“I Confess, I Am Shen Qi,” “Entertainment: The Diva’s Husband, I, Shen Qi, Only Want to Live Off Her,” “The Diva Loves Me Fiercely, I Love the Diva’s Big Moon,” “The Untold Story of Me and Queen Huange,” “Another Day Stirring Up Two Leading Actresses”…

…

Li Huange even felt certain that “The Diva’s Wife Is Swamped with Work, While I Lie Back and Get Livestreamed Across the Entire Internet” was undoubtedly written by Shen Qi.

How could such a coincidence exist?

Shen Qi had just finished typing, and the webpage of Eight Cat Novel Network was open on his computer screen. At that exact moment, that novel was updated, and its title perfectly matched Li Huange and Shen Qi’s relationship and usual state.

“I… I really don’t know,” Li Huange said, unwilling to admit it. “If it’s a mistake, it might affect the author and Shen Qi…”

Fang Qian nodded, “This mystery has sparked countless people’s curiosity, even as a host I want to know the answer. But we respect Queen Huange’s concerns, so let’s set this aside for now.”

Because of this, the live stream’s online viewers surged past 10 million, still climbing rapidly.

Behind the scenes.

Zhang Wei snapped out of his shock.

“Could it be that Shen Qi really is a web novelist?”

Hong Tao, usually calm, was visibly excited.

“If he really is a web novelist, it would be even better for our show’s popularity! Imagine uncovering the secret of Queen Huange’s husband… The hype would be huge!”

“The live stream is over 12 million viewers now, close to the first day’s peak!” Zhang Wei exclaimed.

Hong Tao smiled, “I have a feeling this episode will definitely surpass the highest ratings!”

…

The live broadcast continued.

Shen Xiaokun came downstairs after practicing piano and immediately saw Shen Qi at his computer.

“Are you secretly using that ‘Behind the Scenes Pooper’ account on Tao Ge website again?” Shen Xiaokun asked excitedly. “Did you write a new song for Mom again?”

Shen Qi moved the mouse and quickly closed the novel website page.

“Do you think writing songs is like laying eggs?” Shen Qi’s tone was unpleasant.

That brat—you told Mom I can write songs, but she still set me up. Otherwise, where would that slap mark on my face come from?

Just mentioning writing songs makes me angry!

Shen Xiaokun looked disappointed.

“So, how’s the song ‘Diva’ coming along? I’m really looking forward to its release.”

…

At Huange Entertainment.

Rising young singer Zhou Qiqi walked out of the recording studio, his handsome face glowing with excitement.

He was thrilled these days because Fu Qing had given him a new song he really loved.

He had a premonition that once this song was released, following the “Little King Plan” devised by Li Huange and Fu Qing, he might truly become the music industry’s next little king!

Fu Qing was also very satisfied with Zhou Qiqi’s recording.

“This song hasn’t been released yet, but it’s already become wildly popular thanks to ‘Mom is on a Business Trip.’ As long as your performance matches, the song’s release will be a huge success!”

Zhou Qiqi excitedly said, “Qing姐, I really love this song! I never expected Sister Huange’s husband to be so talented to write such a song.”

Fu Qing glanced at the live stream on her phone.

“Maybe he’s not just good at writing songs…”
