Frequently Asked Questions & Troubleshooting

  • Does a one-time tip remove ads? One-time tips are greatly appreciated to keep the site running, but only the $2/month membership grants the 30-day automated ad-free pass token.
  • Do I need to log in every time? No! Clicking the pass link saves a safe 30-day token (cookie) in your browser. You can read any chapter normally without clicking the link again.
  • What happens after 30 days? Your pass will naturally expire, and ads will resume. If your Ko-fi membership is active, simply return to the locked Ko-fi post and click the current month's activation link again to renew for another 30 days.
  • What if ads start appearing again early? If you clear your browser cookies, use Private/Incognito mode, or switch to a new device, the pass will reset. Just click your activation link again on that browser to re-enable it.

  • Will my Ad-Free Pass key stay the same every month? To keep the pass secure, the secret passkey changes at the start of every month. If you are still an active subscriber, you don't need to do anything complicated! Simply open your monthly supporter email or check our latest supporter-only post on Ko-fi, and click the new activation link once to refresh your ad-free access for the new month.

The Early Spring - Chapter 1

Chapter 1 - The Rainy City That year, the rain in Beijing was heavier than usual, even heavier than in the south where Shang Zhitao had just left. The rain fell in a continuous drizzle, and faint clouds and mist lingered above the sky, making it hard to tell whether the scene was picturesque or desolate. Shang Zhitao was wrestling with her two large suitcases—one packed entirely with books, and the other filled with clothes and shoes, with nothing else inside. Traveling all the way from Nanjing to Beijing, the twenty-two-year-old had accomplished the monumental feat of her first independent migration. Fine beads of sweat dotted her forehead and cheeks, turning her face a flushed pink. Shang Zhitao felt as though she was about to melt. She calculated in her mind that she definitely had to go buy a fan tomorrow. The narrow partition room felt even more cramped because of these two suitcases. She heard the girl in the next room talking on the phone: "Should I go over to your ...

The Early Spring - Chapter 2

Chapter 2 - The Beginning of the Story Shang Zhitao boarded the bus early in the morning. As the city was just waking up, the bus wound its way through the thin mist. With earbuds in her ears, she looked out at the streets. How industrious the people living here truly were; even at this early hour, the sidewalks were already packed with hurried commuters. She was a commuter too, rushing along. She wore a white shirt dress today, cinched at the waist with a slim light-brown belt. Her hair was tied up high, and though she wore no makeup, she radiated a peerless, youthful charm. Sitting there, she looked quiet and well-behaved, just like the obedient child from next door that people always talked about—outstanding, yet not too flashy. Shang Zhitao had always been this kind of person since she was little. Her academic grades were only slightly above average, and her looks were similarly middle-of-the-pack. Because of this mediocrity, even with all her diligence and eagerness to lea...

The Early Spring - Chapter 110

Chapter 110 - Finale Shang Zhitao poured all her energy into this annual gala. Lingmei's annual gala was the crowning moment of the corporate culture each year—awards, lucky draws, performances, and the announcement of major strategic decisions. As the project manager, Shang Zhitao asked the marketing department for Lumi to come help her. This was her personal selfish wish. She wanted the final stretch of her time at Lingmei to be spent alongside her favorite person. It felt like returning to the very beginning, to those days when Lumi had dragged Shang Zhitao around to run event venues. The two spent two days polishing the proposal before bringing Josh, Will, and Tracy together to sign off on it; once there were no issues, they moved into the preparation phase. They solicited the company's employees for their single favorite photo in life; unaware of what it was for, everyone handed them over cheerfully. They also edited together a wealth of footage from the company's medi...
