Dan Zhe didn't know how to spend a day meaningfully.

Sitting on a high stool behind the counter, Danche was boredly tapping the counter with his hand. There were many people reading books, but very few actually buying them. Danche was idle every day, while on the contrary, Antony was busy running around and didn't look worried about the poor business in his shop.

In Anthony's words, running a bookstore is a profession that one has longed for, not with the purpose of making money.

"Imagine yourself sitting on a long bench, wrapped in a thick blanket, with all the books you love within arm's reach," Anthony's eyes gleamed with a longing radiance. "It truly is an ocean of books!"

Shan Zhe thought Anthony was just a fool, surrounded by books like "Three Years of High School Entrance Exams" and "Golden List of Names", feeling good about it?

I don't understand the thoughts of those foreigners. Regardless, he felt that he had a lot of free time and could take on a second job.

Ever since Jian You lost his job at the bar, he found a position as an editorial assistant at an editing department. Although the monthly salary was not high, the working hours were few, from 5 pm to 9 pm. He earned only 1,500 yuan per month, which was half of what he used to make at the bar.

Initially, Jianyou wanted to give up because after paying the rent and utilities, he was left with only five hundred yuan for the entire month.

Forget about saving money, even the food expenses might not be enough.

However, Single Track asked him to take on this job. One, it's easy. Two, Single Track is also working now, so he should contribute towards food, utilities, and other expenses.

The world is unpredictable. Initially, I held the attitude of being able to rely on Shanzhe to support myself, but now I have to rely on myself to take care of this useless person, Shanzhe.

Jian You felt only embarrassment but did not voice it. If he were to speak up, he would surely be reproached and prohibited from speaking about himself in such a manner.

The current life is relatively stable, but it's dull and monotonous. Until one day, Anthony brought home a stack of books.

"Hey, Shan Zhe, come take a look. This is a book that's a bestseller at another bookstore!"

Dan Zhe glanced faintly and said, "Have you finally realized that your bookstore is losing money?"

"Ah, don't say it so bluntly." Anthony awkwardly smiled, "Should we also delve into books like this?"

Single Ze took the book from above, glanced at the cover, and was instantly startled by the colorful cover and the Mary Sue font.

- "The Devil Lord's Little Spoiled Wife"

Dan Zhe: ...

(Note: "单辙" is the title of a novel or the name of a character. Since this is a novel paragraph and there is no specific content provided with "……", I simply translate it as "Dan Zhe: ...")

How did this kind of Mary Sue novel end up on the stage?!

Shan Zhe did not believe in superstitions, and he pulled out another book from the stack.

- "Bad Boy, Don't Kiss Me"

Dan Zhe: ......

"Anthony, do you recognize this kind of book?"

Anthony nodded understandingly and picked up the book "The Demonic Young Master's Little Wife". After flipping through the pages and reading the words out loud...

"So this is a story about hell, right? Wow, there's even the young master of demons. But who is this dainty wife? The demon princess, perhaps?"

Shan Zhe: "Hehe, you're quite naive."

Anthony was shocked: "Could this involve a deeper background? Ah, I am truly ignorant!"

"If you know Chinese, I suggest you take a look," Shan Che pointed and said, "Take a look at everything, and you will open the door to a new world."

As the words fell, Dan Zhe suddenly startled himself with his own words.

He fell silent for a moment, then abruptly picked up the novel "Bad Boy, Don't Kiss Me" and started reading it. After flipping through a couple of pages hastily, he closed the book.

-If he is capable of writing to this extent, then why doesn't he write online novels as a secondary profession?!
