Writing Web Novels In America-Chapter 121 - 119 Compressed Version

In the United States, while other states were still basking in the afterglow of the New Year, the streets of New York, "Financial Capital" were already bustling once more.

At this moment, in the website’s office building.

Wang Jian was sitting in the office, looking at Tom and Dorsey as they respectively handed in work reports from the editorial and technical departments.

During the Christmas and New Year period, both the number of works and users had seen a small breakthrough.

The works on the website had also evolved from initially being predominantly fantasy, to showing signs of blossoming diversity.

Now, fantasy works made up about 40% of the total, with the most paid readers still flocking to "Arcane Throne" and "Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone."

The number of fantasy works had surged to 20%, with standout works being "Extreme Heavenly Demon" and "American Gods."

What pleased Wang Jian the most was the strong emergence of urban and women’s fiction following the screen adaptation of "Prison Break."

Currently, the representative works of these two categories were "Prison Break" and "Prison Break Prequel From Prisoner to Warden."

Actually, according to Wang Jian’s aesthetic judgment, these works were of lower quality compared to other categories.

But the readership and payment rates had harshly disproved his opinion.

"You may leave now," Wang Jian commanded. "To welcome the forthcoming representatives from AT&T and Nokia, ensure everything on the website runs smoothly."

"Understood." The two stood up and walked out of the conference room.

Watching their retreating figures, Wang Jian pondered for a moment, realizing there wasn’t much else he could do.

"Ah, might as well get back to my old profession."

While muttering to himself, he opened his computer.

Just after Wang Jian logged into the website system, he heard a series of electronic beeps.

"’Empresses in the Palace: Youngest Daughter of the Boleyn Family’ not updating?"

"@Wang, what will it take for you to update?"

"I heard that the author likes watching others streak. When updating ’Extreme Heavenly Demon,’ if someone streaks, he updates!"

"Ah, that’s so perverted! But if you dare to update, I dare to streak!"

Er?

Since when did he enjoy watching streaking?

Wang Jian scratched his head, feeling utterly baffled.

However, he didn’t take it too seriously.

After all, the internet is filled with all sorts of bizarre folks.

He checked the last updated content: A darkly transformed heroine, Anne Boleyn, was determined to use her body and tactics to reclaim everything that rightfully belonged to her.

"Ah, not so comfortable with writing women’s fiction, better condense it a bit," Wang Jian said while organizing the outline and details of "Empresses in the Palace" in his mind.

A moment later, his fingers were clattering rapidly on the keyboard.

...

Anne Boleyn, fueled by boundless fury, arrived at the capital.

She successfully infiltrated the palace, becoming a court maid.

As the daughter of a rural noble, Anne could never have anticipated how many noblewomen in the court coveted the King.

These seemingly noble women needed only a glance from the King to happily forsake their lovers and climb into the King’s bed.

Yet, among these noble ladies and misses, Anne was not outstanding.

But upon learning that Henry VIII favored married women of high status,

She shifted her focus to Henry Percy, the grandest land noble next to the King.

Because they were in the palace, all women kept a close watch on the King.

This made Percy, who was used to holding sway over his own lands, feel particularly uncomfortable.

At that time, a beautiful court maid, giving him mixed signals,

Led him to indulge in the vanity of "sleeping with the King’s women" in Anne’s tender embrace.

To please Anne, Percy even decided to secretly marry her.

And Anne’s first step toward getting close to the King, becoming a high-status noblewoman, was thus smoothly accomplished.

But at that time, her sister found out about Percy’s existing engagement, and to protect the child of the King in her womb and the family honor,

Her sister went directly to their father and uncle to reveal the secret.

For the sake of Anne’s heart and her safe delivery.

Uncle and Father tracked down Percy and told him, Anne only pretended to love him to get closer to the King.

This infuriated Percy, who immediately turned his back on Anne.

To prevent Anne from causing further trouble, Uncle sent her to stay with noble relatives in France.

However, because her sister was pregnant, a new mistress emerged at the side of the King.

In order to safeguard the Boleyn family’s status, Uncle and Father brought Anne back to the British court.

By then, having spent some time in France and possessing a charm different from British women, Anne instantly caught the eye of her brother-in-law and King, Henry VIII.

Especially upon learning that Anne had once been with the great noble, Percy, Henry VIII was thoroughly enchanted.

Yet, Anne knew well that the easier one obtains something, the less one cherishes it.

She feigned deep longing for Percy, often appearing sorrowful before the King.

The King, determined to have Anne, treated her exceptionally well.

Then, Anne proposed a condition.

That was, the King must never share a bed with her sister again.

The King hesitated only briefly before agreeing to Anne’s condition.

Therefore, at the moment her sister gave birth, Anne consummated her relationship with the King outside the delivery room.

And she took her sister’s place as the King’s new mistress.

Yet, Anne was not satisfied, she exiled her sister and her nephew from the palace, while taking the King’s daughter, young Mary, under her wing to foster.

Throughout Mary’s upbringing, Anne instilled in her ideas that were unacceptable to society.

This laid the groundwork for Mary to later become "Bloody Mary."

At that moment, Anne suddenly discovered she was pregnant.

Was she content then?

No!

Anne wanted to be the mistress of the country, a true queen.

However, the current queen, a princess of Spain, not only came from a powerful background but also had committed no fault that warranted deposition.

Thus, the Vatican would never agree to the King deposing the queen.

This issue greatly vexed Anne.

But soon, she realized that the King himself was quite dissatisfied with the status quo where divine authority overruled royal authority.

Under the continuous influence whispered into his ear at night, Henry VIII’s ambitions grew.

Finally, a year later, Henry VIII declared his departure from the Vatican.

After the defeat of the French army, the "New Church," independent of the Vatican, was also declared established.

Finally, just before Anne gave birth, she was crowned queen.

However, her first child turned out to be a daughter.

This greatly disappointed Anne.

By then, the King had begun seeking new mistresses and no longer frequented Anne’s bed.

Desperate for a son, she even turned her attention to her biological brother.

But such things cannot be concealed forever, and the King eventually found out.

He had Anne imprisoned and prepared for execution.

What the King didn’t know was that Anne had made preparations before entering the prison.

She had not only arranged for the poisoning of the King’s other progeny but also fostered discord between her remaining two daughters, Margaret and Elizabeth.

Consciously, she nurtured one into a bloodthirsty maniac and the other into a pure Holy Maiden.

She sat in the prison, looking up at the sky, as if seeing the future.

"Elizabeth, escorted by guards, deposes her sister Margaret from the throne.

And upon being crowned, Elizabeth decides to never marry and remain childless, thus extinguishing the reckless Tudor Dynasty created by Henry VIII."

That day, white snowflakes fluttered through the sky.

With the noose around her neck, Anne merely muttered, "Henry, this is my revenge."

"In a woman’s way!"
