Love Burned, She Rose Unscathed

Chapter 475



"Alright, let's give this horror book a shot!" exclaimed Jeff as he scrolled through his feed. "How scary can it really be?" "Trust me, man, after reading it, you'll never look at Jell-O the same way again," replied his friend Tom with a shiver.

"Why's that?"

"All the answers are in the book."

Two days later, Jeff, who went by "ChubbyChaserReads" online, posted again. This time, instead of featuring his dad, he shared a cover photo of "Seven Days."

His caption read: "Suddenly realizing the old-timers really knew how to enjoy life."

Riding the wave of viral attention, "Seven Days" surged into the reading lists of young people as an unexpected hit.

She didn't want to be swayed by online discourse, choosing instead to write the stories she loved, thus deliberately isolating herself from the outside world.

This included both criticism and praise-all blocked out.

Upon hearing this, Roseanne immediately pulled out her smartphone and searched for "Seven Days."

Wow, information overload.

There were fan theories, endorsements by famous critics, and, of course, a fair share of disparagement.

But one thing was indisputable-

"Seven Days" was not just popular; it was explosively so!

"Mom, you're amazing! I knew you had it in you."

Norris grabbed the phone, scrolling eagerly: "Hehe... all these compliments are for you!"

"If my wife's a bestselling author, does that make me a celebrity by extension?"

"Umm..." Roseanne scratched her head, saying, "Dad, you're kind of famous already." "Really?"

With the success of the book, curiosity about the author surged.

Seizing the moment, Stoner decided to host a book signing event for Madge at Bindings Bookstore.

The announcement alone sent waves through the community.

Within two hours, the sign-up list had surpassed ten thousand, startling the entire promotional team. Stoner wasn't surprised, though. "In the age of clicks, content is still king," he said.
