Book 2 Chapter 6-Fortune and Misfortune
In this chapter, Kayla reaps both the benefits and consequences of her move to shove Qu Boyong to the forefront. And next chapter, she finally becomes the Lord of the Zhao clan.
Book 2 Chapter 2-Disquiet
Do you guys prefer if I continue using the Book 2 Chapter X format, or having just the Chapter number?
Book 2 Chapter 1-Crisis
I know I said the first update would be on April 2, but I managed to finish ahead of schedule. I'll probably post something short for April Fools Day (if not the day after).
Book 2 Title
Hey guys, here are some of the titles I'm considering for Book 2, please select the one you prefer and feel free to suggest titles in the comments!
Book 2 Announcement
Hello Patrons,Thank you all for your patience during my hiatus! Book 2 of Surviving the Succession will return on Monday, April 6th, on a 5-day update schedule until I build up more of a backlog. The first chapter will be posted to Patreon on April 2nd (I might do something for April Fools if I can cram it into my schedule; aka if my job decides to stop kicking me in the teeth for a bit).Please lo...
Chapter 113-The Red Towers Crumble
Last chapter of Book 1! Thank you so much for all your support, and I'll be back with [irregular] updates to Book 2. For details, please see the end note at the bottom of the document.In Book 2, the prostitute Yan'er, the members of the Imperial Investigation Bureau, and Feng Yi will be taking more important roles as new conflicts emerge in the aftermath of the Grand Duke's death.
Chapter 112-Coup
Second-to-last chapter of Book 1, I'm excited and nervous for the last update before we go on break for Book 2. A note that I will be posting advance chapters of Book 2 to Patreon, but those will be irregularly posted for the duration of my break.
Chapter 110-Alibi and Excuse
Book 1 of Surviving the Succession is about to draw to a close in a few chapters as a major enemy exits the scene, with new complications, betrayals, and conspiracies lying ahead. I'll be on hiatus for about a month after finishing up Book 1, in which I'll build up my backlog for Book 2 and edit Book 1 for pacing and style.
Chapter 109-Morning Light
Happy Valentines Day!
Chapter 107-Three Families of Chu
Happy Yuan Xiao Festival to everyone who celebrates! If you have any glutinous rice dumplings, this is the day to eat them. Hope that everyone who lives in a cold-wave affected place is staying warm. Please remember to keep your windows shut and to keep your ears and fingers covered when going outside if dealing with extreme weather.
Chapter 106-Irrevocable Change
I don't know how these things work, but for some reason, the last photo I put in the Cultural Notes is what's showing up, even though the time before it was the first photo I inserted. Also, please note that if you're using a Dark Mode extension, it'll probably affect the photos in the Cultural Notes section (speaking from personal experience).
Chapter 104- Old Feuds and New Conflicts
Happy Lunar New Year, everyone! New Year's Eve is the 21st, and the New Year will begin on the 22th. Hope the Year of the Rabbit is filled with blessings and health for you and yours, may everything go smoothly, may you become rich, and for younger readers, may you grow taller!For all the Rabbit zodiacs, try to wear more red this year to ward off bad luck and increase good luck! Most important...
103-Hope for the Best
Don't mind the picture showing up, that's just an example of paper money we burn for the dead. Apparently, it is now illegal to make them in the form of Chinese yen because people got too good at making them realistic and started using them as counterfeit bills.Update: Three cultural notes added to the end, I missed them while editing the chapter. For those of you who have already read it,...
Chapter 100-Theatrics
Next update will be prior to 1/10, but the exact date is still a bit wonky. We'll return to a regular posting schedule of every 5 days once the New Year shenanigans settle down a bit, thanks for your patience!
99-Palace Walls
Happy New Year, everyone!Due to life getting a bit hectic, updates will be taking place every 5 days (will be posted sooner/faster on Patreon if the chapters are ready) for the time being, hopefully we'll resume the 4 day release schedule very soon. Thank you for your understanding and support!
Chapter 96-Consequences Past and Future
I'm releasing this one day early because I won't have time tomorrow and can't get scheduled posts to work. Note that if you read the Patreon version of Chapter 95 before the edits were made, start from the top. Otherwise, use the side menu to go straight to Chapter Content after the Character Index. Next update will be posted according to the usual schedule.
