Nanpai's third uncle had not announced that he would return to writing novels. In 2018, he announced that he would suspend his writing due to copyright issues and said that he would focus on copyright maintenance and business operations. However, he did not stop writing. Instead, he paid attention to the copyright of his works and the next step of development. Recently, some of his works had been adapted into movies or TV series, which also provided him with the opportunity to re-enter the writing market. However, it was still unknown whether he was currently writing a novel or when he would start writing.
