From the toilet sister to the suspense novel writer


She only has the culture of the country. She used to be a working girl in Shenzhen who washes the toilet. She has nothing to do but be told by the influence of her hometown culture. However, relying on ghost stories, ghost stories, and grassroots network writers, she has written an extraordinary life. Her horror novels are not only exported to Italy, South Korea, but also adapted into film and television dramas. The top ten suspense novels of the year, and ranked in China's first online beauty writers list... Red Lady was originally named Yao Di, born in Pucheng Town, Tunxi County, Hunan Province in 1981. It is the birthplace of Panyu culture. For thousands of years, there are countless legends of ghosts and foxes. Yao Di grew up listening to ghost stories and gradually accumulated a story about the gods and ghosts. In 1997, Yao Di was admitted to Tunxi No. 1 Middle School. Since her mother contracted the orchard and lost more than 400,000 yuan, she had to drop out of school and take up the heavy responsibility of making money and paying off debts.

In 1999, Yao Di went to Shenzhen and applied for a hotel as a waiter. Cleaning the room, changing sheets, cleaning the toilet, racking my brains to deal with a variety of customers... She is often tired and vomiting.

Every evening, the female companion often dates in the dormitory. In order to avoid embarrassment, she often goes to the Internet cafe.

In the winter of 2001, Yao Di posted on the Internet: Because he is poor, he is not beautiful, it is difficult to get love, so he has collected a lot of flowers and made a thousand flowers to chase a boy... The article truly records the mood of Yao Di. It was simple and touching, and was selected by the editor of "Chinese Youth". The name "Mummy of Flowers" was published. When Yao Di received more than 500 yuan in the draft fee, she was ecstatic and suddenly thought: writing an article is a month's work, can I write more? She suddenly saw the hope of changing her destiny.

Writing in the Internet cafe, writing a blue sky

In June 2002, Yao Di registered the name of "Red Lady" in Tianya and started writing. But Yao Di never wrote a novel, and he didn't know what to write. Confused, she chatted with netizens, and netizens sent her a few horror pictures from QQ. There was a woman laughing for a while, crying for a while, and occasionally stretching her tongue to pretend to be a hanged ghost. This kind of picture makes Yao Dijun Jun Mu ban, after laughing, she thought: The most heard of her childhood is the ghost story. Since young people always play with ghosts, why don't I write the ghost story of Xiangxi?

Therefore, she combined with the mysterious Xiangxi's centuries-old lyrics, within a week, she wrote a series of mysterious stories of mysterious ghosts, corpses, and arrogance.

The article was sent out, although it attracted some readers, but the response was embarrassing. Yao Di’s friend learned that after she wrote the novel, she was surprised to say, “You only have Chinese culture, no literary foundation, how to write a novel?” The female companion in the dormitory also heard from the back: “A working girl dares to write a novel, I don’t call myself a few pounds..."

These arguments are not terrible. What Yao Di is most afraid of is that there is no money to go online. Every time I go to the Internet cafe, I have to calculate how much money I have and how long I can write in the Internet cafe. At that time, the Internet cafe charges 3 yuan per hour during the day, and only 10 yuan per night from 12 o'clock in the evening to 8 o'clock in the next day. In order to save money, she went to the Internet cafe in the early morning to go to the night. One day, Yao Di was born because it was written until the 1st of the morning. She walked on the black road in the village of the city and was robbed by two men. Fortunately, she was able to get out of the patrol police. After repeatedly experiencing such a terrorist incident, she combined her enrichment with rich imagination, combined with the witchcraft culture of Xiangxi, and conceived "Blood Stunning": the rich family female Tang poetry travels back to bring back a beautiful red satin . Later, she used this red satin to make a dress with her cousin. Unexpectedly, when they were excited, the cousin died mysteriously and was dug up before her death. Next, there was a series of incredible surprises. Anyone who had contact with the red satin was spared... "Blood Stunning" was launched in the end of the world for half a month and was reprinted by major websites. The Red Sleeve Literature Network immediately signed an electronic copyright contract with Yao Di and began serialization. At this time, her monthly income reached more than 8,000 yuan.

The monthly salary is 8,000 yuan, which is almost equivalent to the income of a senior white-collar worker in Shenzhen! On the day of getting the money, Yao Di excitedly jumped to buy a computer, and then rented a house of more than 70 square meters in Futian District for a monthly rent of 800 yuan, and began formal writing.

Persevere in pain, love to fight to win

More and more readers are urging to write, signing the website and rushing to write, Yao Di has increased from the original 3,000 words to the day to write thousands of words. In order to increase the material, she began to read a lot, sort out the ghost legends in her hometown, read biographies, listen to the radio, and submit articles to the magazine to exercise the ability to write stories.

Because of sitting in front of the computer for a long time, Yao Di's cervical vertebra had a problem, the neck was stiff, the heart was painful, and accompanied by dizziness. No way, she had to buy a cervical pillow, leaning on it, half lying on the sofa typing. Even more frightening is that her eyes appear dry, sputum and stinging due to excessive use of the eyes. The doctor warned her: "If you continue to stare at the computer for more than ten hours a day, you will be at risk of blindness."

In the difficult writing, Yao Di ushered in the dawn.

"Blood Stunning" has just been serialized, and four companies have asked her to publish books within ten days. Since then, Chaohua Publishing House has renamed "Blood Stunning" to "Red Satin" and has been adapted into a radio drama by the Central People's Broadcasting Station. The book was also quickly promoted to Italy and South Korea, becoming the first Chinese horror literature to be sold abroad.

Soon, Shaanxi Normal University Press quickly signed a contract with her in the "Red Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, and Purple" seven-color series of horror novels, and the cooperation with Red Sleeve Net also made Yao Di a signing writer of Shanda Literature Company.

Yao Di, who published 19 horror novels, turned gorgeously in 2019, and a book about the marital problems of modern men and women, the readers received rave reviews.

Now Yao Di's planning is very simple, carefully write the screenplay and take every draft seriously. She said: "I will do my best to do everything, not to worry about the consequences, because I believe that everyone who pays for their dreams will have a reward."

Heart inspiration:

Dreams guide us to success. No matter who you are, as long as you have a dream, one day, you will stand on the shining stage, respected and admired.
