ps: Due to physical reasons, this book was closed for a while when it was written to 4 million words, and will be updated on June 1st.

During this period, I wrote two extras about Kim Jingcheng and Han Jiaren. I personally think these two extras are a bit interesting, a bit romantic, a bit literary, a bit emotional, and a bit enlightening. They are also related to the main story of this book, so I want to publish them here, just to preheat updating them for restoration and updates. These two extras are titled "Kim Jingcheng Extra: Moon House" and "Han Jiaren Extra: Sun Iceberg". If you are not interested in the extra or don't like literary style, you don't have to read the next six chapters and you can skip over it.

First of all, "Kim Jingsung Extra: Moon House", this extra tells the story of Kim Jingsung and a beautiful photographer named Sleepwalking. The story takes place in August 2004 when Kim Jingsung first returned to Seoul, South Korea from New York, USA.

————————————

In mid-August 2004, Kim Jong-sung, who had just returned from New York, USA to Seoul, South Korea, rented a top-floor apartment with a rooftop garden in Nianhua Building with 21st. At this time, he was still an unknown lonely man, rather than the rich and powerful star surrounded by the beauty a few years later.

That night, Jin Jingcheng, who was creating the TV series "Sorry, I Love You", thought of the questions about realism and romanticism. In his opinion, the TV series "Sorry, I Love You" is both realistic and romantic. This is a TV series that combines realism and romanticism well, and is a masterpiece.

Jin Jingcheng suddenly felt embarrassed because he felt that he was a man who liked to pursue romanticism, but this was a very realistic era. He felt that excessive obsession with romanticism was like an embarrassing disease in today's era.

In awkwardness, Jin Jingcheng walked to the garden on the roof, standing quietly beside the railing, looking up at the moon in the night sky. This was a crescent moon. When he saw this crescent moon, he did not simply think that it was so beautiful, but felt that such a moon was actually a bit ugly, like a broken circle, but he knew that what was broken might be just his aesthetic, he knew that his aesthetic at this time was too realistic, and if he thought this crescent moon was beautiful, it would be too romantic. This was an embarrassing contradiction.

"I can't figure it out!" Jin Jingcheng was embarrassed and uncomfortable by such thoughts, so he simply didn't think about anything, but when he returned to the study and sat at the desk and thought about nothing, he felt embarrassed and uncomfortable. He couldn't understand this state, not because he was killing time, but because he was anxiously watching the time pass by.

"It seems I still have to think about something." So Jin Jingcheng thought about it all at once, and suddenly thought of it, but it was like he didn't think about anything. So he thought: "How great it would be if a person could disappear from this world at any time and come back at any time! But obviously, this kind of too romantic situation is unrealistic."

The next day, the guard of the 21st Nianhua Building suddenly found Kim Jong-sung and said that a package was sent to him. Kim Jong-sung was surprised. He had just moved to the 21st Nianhua Building. Even his adoptive father and mother, even Kim Jong-kook, didn't know his address. Who would send him the package?

With doubts, Jin Jingcheng signed for the package, opened the package after returning to the apartment, and was amazed by the things in the package. There were two photography collections in the package, one called "Free Moonlight" and the other called "Moonlight Shadow".

Jin Jingcheng first looked at "Free Moonlight". The first thing that caught his eye was a photo of a beautiful woman. He was immediately amazed by the beauty in this photo. It seemed that a brilliant lightning suddenly came, confusing his eyes and stunned his body. Her beautiful long hair, slightly red cheeks, curved eyebrows, water-cut pupils, perky nose bridge, and moist red lips were all so tempting. Her graceful figure was like a seductive cloud wrapped in graceful clothes.

This beauty is the photographer of two photography collections. Her name is a bit strange, and she is sleepwalking. Obviously, this is a pseudonym.

A beautiful photographer named sleepwalking published two photo albums called "Free Moonlight" and "Moonlight Shadow", and sent these two photo albums to the apartment rented by Jin Jingcheng in 21, and fell into Jin Jingcheng's hands. This is really strange.

After reading the photo album "Free Moonlight", Kim Jong-sung discovered that the photo album was full of landscape photos taken by sleepwalking while traveling across Korea. Each set of photos was accompanied by an article written by sleepwalking himself. These articles looked like travel notes in form, and the content was clearly novels. These novels did not have a complete story, but just some fantastic scattered fragments, just like a girl's muttering while sleepwalking.

The last chapter of the photo collection "Free Moonlight" is "Afterword", which says: "Three years ago, I was eighteen years old, but I was already an introverted woman. I like to be free moonlight and travel on the earth like moonlight. I think life should be a journey, and travel is like the life of moonlight. When I was eighteen, I traveled all over Korea, took hundreds of sets of photos and wrote a novel-style travel notes for each set of photos. Three years later, I have the opportunity to publish a photo collection, so I selected dozens of photos and dozens of travel notes from them, forming this photo collection called "Free Moonlight".

Jin Jingcheng then looked at another photography collection, "Moonlight Shadow". If the style of the photography collection "Free Moonlight" is free, then the style of the photography collection "Moonlight Shadow" is dark.

The photo collection "Moonlight and Shadow" is full of photos, without articles, and it is no longer a landscape photo of traveling. All photos are related to a dark room, and almost all selfies of sleepwalking in this dark room. These selfies are very weird.

This is a dark room with dark light and messy items. In this dark room, this beauty dressed herself up as a nun, and sometimes dressed up as a female ghost. She was pale and her hair was scattered. She was hiding under the bed and hid in the cabinet...

The photos of sleepwalking in "The Moonlight" were taken when she was eighteen years old, and her selfies in "The Moonlight Shadow" were taken during the last three years between the ages of nineteen and twenty-one. The appearance of both photos seemed to have not changed much, and they were so beautiful and charming, but Kim Jingcheng must admit with some emotion that something has indeed changed, for example, her expression hidden in the photo.

Her expression was hidden very well, but she still couldn't escape Kim Jingcheng's keen gaze. Kim Jingcheng felt that the photo in "Free Moonlight" had the same style as the photo collection "Free Moonlight", which was free. She was like a girl dreaming in the photo. The selfies in "Moonlight" were as dark as the photo collection "Moonlight", which seemed to be a nightmare. She used to show her little longing and little happiness, but now she seemed to hide her great depression and sadness.

There is also an article in the end of the photography collection "Moonlight Shadow", but this article only contains a very short sentence: "This is some selfies from me in the past three years. I have changed from the free moonlight three years ago to the shadow of the moonlight now."

When Jin Jingcheng finished reading the photo collection "Moonlight and Shadow", he felt in a fog and felt that the beautiful photographer of sleepwalking became mysterious, and it was a kind of black mystery. Jin Jingcheng couldn't help but want to unveil the mystery of this mysterious woman.

Why did this beautiful photographer sleepwalking go from the free moonlight three years ago to the shadow of the moonlight now?

Why did this beautiful photographer sleepwalking suddenly send two photo albums he published to Jin Jingcheng here?

Jin Jingcheng couldn't help but want to sleepwalking, trying to relieve his doubts.

However, there was only the address of Jin Jingcheng, the recipient, but there was no address of the sender.

Jin Jingcheng had an idea and opened the photo collection "Moonlight and Shadow" again and found a photo in it. There is no sleepwalking figure in this photo. It is about a storefront room. There are two floors of the storefront room. There is a simple sign hanging on the wall on the second floor, with three words printed on the signboard: Moon House. Although it is not clearly stated, Jin Jingcheng still distinguishes it. The so-called Moon House is mostly a photography store, and most of it is a sleepwalking photography store. From the appearance, the decoration of this photography store looks a bit dreamy and mysterious, which is quite in line with her style.

Jin Jingcheng also had a surprise discovery. In this photo, another storefront was exposed behind the Moon House, which was a motorcycle shop. It had nothing to do with sleepwalking, but the exposed sign was related to her. Because the photo was not big, the motorcycle shop was accidentally photographed in the back. In order to see its sign clearly, Jin Jingcheng had to take a magnifying glass to get close to the photo to see it roughly. He saw three words "Mapo District" from the sign clearly.

This discovery was planted in Jin Jingcheng's heart, and it could easily bear fruit on a whim. As for what kind of fruit it would bear, it was not something that Jin Jingcheng could predict. Jin Jingcheng just felt that this seed seemed to have magical magic, which made his only rationality irresistible, and was in line with his romanticism.

Jin Jingcheng did not hesitate and came from Jiangnan District to Mapo District north of the Han River to look for sleepwalking. He knew that this behavior seemed a bit ridiculous, but he quietly said to himself in his heart: "Just treat it as a willful and exile to romanticism!"

...

...

It was midsummer, and under the hot sun, Jin Jingcheng came to Mapo District to look for traces of sleepwalking.

Jin Jingcheng didn't know where the sleepwalking was. He searched for "Mapo District - Moon House" online and could not find any information. This was in his expectation, because this was in line with her mysterious style, and she would not easily publish the relevant information on the Internet.

So Jin Jingcheng looked for some sense similar to a detective. The clues that he could rely on were nothing more than the photo of the motorcycle shop. Because of this photo, he realized that her moon house was in Mapo District north of the Han River.

Next is a field visit, but there are also skills. For example, according to Jin Jingcheng's speculation about her, a beautiful photographer who can publish two photography collections should not be short of money. If you think about it, her photography store will most likely be open in a prosperous area.

So, Jin Jingcheng took the photo and searched several prosperous areas in Mapo District. Finally, during an inquiry, a pedestrian who met by the Han River pointed out the location of the Moon House to Jin Jingcheng. During the process, Jin Jingcheng occasionally felt that his behavior was ridiculous, but also interesting, especially when he came to the door of the Moon House, the feeling of moving the scene in the photo to her, the feeling that it seemed to touch her mysterious suddenly was wonderful.

It was already evening, and the twilight created by the setting sun had a broken beauty.

Although this area is a bit prosperous and noisy, the specific location of the Moon House is located in a quiet corner, like a moon flower (if there is such a flower) blooming in a commercial street adjacent to the Han River. There are several forks in the commercial street, and a fork is right next to the Moon House. This fork is very short. Standing in front of the Moon House, you can see the motorcycle shop behind you by passing through the fork. If it weren't for this motorcycle shop, Jin Jingcheng would not have found this place. However, now it has no meaning to Jin Jingcheng. Jin Jingcheng just held gratitude to the motorcycle shop at a glance and focused his attention on the Moon House.

Before seeing the Moon House with his own eyes, the Moon House could only imagine Kim Jingcheng in the photo. After seeing the Moon House with his own eyes, the true appearance of the Moon House was better than Kim Jingcheng's imagination. It felt very consistent with the personality of the mysterious beautiful photographer of sleepwalking, and was quiet in the noise. Especially when Kim Jingcheng walked into the Moon House, the internal environment inside was even more mysterious and dreamy than imagined. Kim Jingcheng walked into the Moon House with anticipation and anxiety, which was somewhat similar to the feeling of being close to home. Although this was his first time, he seemed to be familiar with this place.

The storefront room where the Moon House is located takes up two floors. As soon as Jin Jingcheng walked into the first floor, he felt like he had walked into a maze. In fact, it was an exhibition hall with a large space, but it seemed very empty. The walls on all sides were hung with various photography works, all of which were enlarged and packaged by exquisite photo frames. In the middle area, there was only a white cashier, which was more like a desk. Unlike some other photography stores, there were various supplies related to money transactions on the cashier. There were only some books scattered on the cashier, almost all photography textbooks and travel magazines.

Although it was midsummer evening, only a little sunlight could penetrate into the somewhat closed first-floor exhibition hall of Moon House. However, the exhibition hall was filled with hazy colorful lights, as if deliberately creating a mysterious and dreamy atmosphere.

When Jin Jingcheng walked into the Moon House, it was quiet inside and there was no one. When he carefully admired the photographic photos in the exhibition hall on the first floor, he still didn’t see a single person after half an hour.

Jin Jingcheng thought: "This beautiful photographer must be on the second floor when sleepwalking."

There is a wooden staircase in the corner of the wall deep in the exhibition hall on the first floor, which can reach the second floor. Jin Jingcheng came to the stairs and raised his courage again. He was about to go up to the second floor. As soon as he took a step, a strange and familiar voice suddenly came into his ears: "Who is it?"

What a simple word, but it gave Jin Jingcheng a profound feeling. It must be admitted that this sound was the first time he heard it in this life, but he felt as if he had heard it a long time ago. It was not very clear, but it had a obscure magnetism, which was very moving. There was no doubt at all. Jin Jingcheng could conclude that this was definitely the sound of a beautiful photographer sleepwalking.

Jin Jingcheng was a little nervous, but he still slowly raised his eyes and saw sleepwalking at the stairs on the second floor. A girl with long hair shawls, a clean and delicate face, a graceful figure, wearing a sky-blue long gown, a sky-blue jeans, and a pair of women's slippers... Just like the stunning feeling when Jin Jingcheng saw her in the "Free Moonlight" photo album for the first time, it seemed like a brilliant lightning suddenly came.

Many women's real people are much ugly than photos. Jin Jingcheng also made this psychological preparation this time, but he believed in his intuition. Facts prove that although the real people who sleepwalking are more beautiful than photos, they are definitely more charming. Their appearance, figure, and dressing have a romantic atmosphere. In this way, she can be connected with her in the photo, as if some potential password has been cracked, and Jin Jingcheng is firmly locked by her beauty and uniqueness.

Unfortunately, Jin Jingcheng, who thought he was a romantic man, suddenly became dull at such a moment. He thought he was not timid, suddenly lost the courage he should have. He could not say a word when facing her for a long time.

As a result, she spoke first: "Is there anything wrong with you?"

Jin Jingcheng was stunned and said, "Is the second floor also an exhibition hall? Can I go up and visit it?"

"No, the second floor is my residence." Sleepwoo responded coldly.

Jin Jingcheng nodded: "So, what is the price of your photography on the first floor? I like it very much and want to buy one."

"Sorry, my photography shop's photography works are for exhibition only.

Jin Jingcheng said "um". If the owner of the next photography shop said this to him, he would probably find it funny. He opened a photography shop but did not sell his own photography works. How could he make money? The store is definitely losing money. But this is from sleepwalking, Jin Jingcheng felt it reasonable. He felt that such a mysterious beautiful photographer opened a photography shop, which was indeed not to make money by selling photography works.

Jin Jingcheng wanted to talk to her sleep for a few more words, but he noticed the indifference in her expression, so Jin Jingcheng didn't say much, and didn't want to get bored of her when she first met. Jin Jingcheng walked out of the Moon House like this, ending her first face-to-face meeting with her, and she couldn't say goodbye. This situation was something that Jin Jingcheng hadn't expected before, and even went against his previous fantasy.

After Kim Jong-sung walked out of Moon House, what he thought was that Seoul was a very large city, and Mapo District was actually a large administrative area. For him, Mapo District was really very small, so small that she was sleepwalking, which was the area where she lived. When Kim Jong-sung walked on the streets around Moon House, he felt that these streets were hers, the air was hers, and everything was hers, but she didn't know that he was here for her this time, and she didn't know who he was. Even if he told her who he was, she probably didn't know.

But the question is, since she doesn't know him at all and he doesn't know her at all, why did she suddenly send him two photo albums?

Jin Jingcheng became even more confused and curious.

...

...

Kim Jong-sung suddenly wanted to find a hotel in Mapo District to stay for ten days. First, he wanted to uncover the mystery of sleepwalking, and second, Mapo District is closer to Korea's Chunghwa University, and living here is convenient for him to teach at Korea's Chunghwa University.

Jin Jingcheng wanted to find a hotel near Moon House on the Han River in Mapo District to stay for ten days. He wanted to live in the street where she lived and in the air with her breath, just as if there was only one moon in the sky and there was only one she in the world. He wanted to live under the same sky as her and feel the same moonlight.

This is a romantic idea, but it is not impossible to be fulfilled in reality. Jin Jingxing cashed it out, and Jin Jingcheng also had a special idea, an exciting plan, and he wanted to write a novel for her.

When Jin Jingcheng checked into the hotel that night, he had already named the novel, which was called "Moon House". It was nothing special. It was just that the name of her photography store was used. What was strange is that Jin Jingcheng had even conceived the general content and writing style.

The general content is to write about a couple (the male protagonist is Kim Jingcheng, and the female protagonist is naturally sleepwalking). This couple owns a beautiful house in Mapo District, Seoul. The house is shaped like a crescent moon. The inner part of the house is full of the charm of moonlight. The male protagonist is a writer and the female protagonist is a photographer. Their studio is in their moon house. They work happily and have a happy love in the moon house. Occasionally they will go out together. As for the place of travel, he is willing to obey her wishes unconditionally. Wherever she wants to go, he will go with her. They also create while traveling. He writes his words, she takes her photos, he talks and studies art with her, wanders in the world of art, and enjoys a beautiful life romantically...

As for the writing, half of it is her style, which is similar to the articles she gave to her in the photo collection "Free Moonlight", those articles that look like travel notes are clearly novels, those articles that do not have complete stories, those fantasy fragments of fragments, those that are like a girl's sleepwalking, and the other half uses gold to form his favorite style. The two's styles are integrated together. Perhaps it is: he wants to write a dreamy, slightly complete story in a dreamy language.

In order to create the novel "Moon House" in a better state, Jin Jingcheng repeatedly looked at the two photography series "The Moonlight" and "Moonlight Shadow", and even lying on the bed to rest when he was tired of writing.

It is inevitable that as a novel, even if there is a good idea or a meticulous outline before writing, some changes that differ from the original idea will inevitably occur during the writing process, let alone the "Moon House" whose conception is very sudden and hasty and is easily affected by the real environment at any time.

For example, in the initial conception, Kim Jong-sung was planning to write about the hero and heroine traveling across Korea. Because in the photo collection "Free Moonlight", the 18-year-old sleepwalking was traveling across Korea. But later Kim Jong-sung discovered that sleepwalking has stopped traveling in Korea in the past three years. Every time she traveled, she went abroad. She has been to Thailand, Vietnam, Greece, France, and even Mauritius and Australia...

However, three years ago, she took pictures of landscapes when she was sleepwalking around South Korea. In the past three years, she did not take pictures of her travels around the world and did not take a single photo because in the past three years she only took selfies in the dark room and no longer took pictures of her scenery during the journey.

After understanding this, in the novel "Moon House", Jin Jingcheng fantasized about traveling around the world with her. He and she strolled in the downtown of Bangkok, shuttled through the streets of Saigon, strolled on the Aegean Sea, wandered on the Seine, sunbatheed on the island of Mauritius, and dived in the Australian sea... In the novel, Jin Jingcheng gave an explanation that the reason why she likes travel was not for the excitement, but for the deep sense of her unique tranquility, and was quiet in the excitement of the excitement of the excitement of the excitement, and he also had the same idea.

This is also good, which invisibly raises the style of the novel "Moon House" a lot, making the story more dreamy. The further the couple went, the bigger the romantic sky, and when they returned to Moon House, the house would appear warmer.

In the novel, when Jin Jingcheng faces sleepwalking, he seems to be a brave knight. Any ghost can be killed by his sword. He can shout her loudly, rush towards her passionately, hug her excitedly, and kiss her tenderly... In the novel, nothing can imprison his desires, and even his swords and mountains of fire can be played with happily by his fantasy. This is really romantic!

In reality, every time Kim Jong-sung faces sleepwalking, she feels like a fool. Every time she stares at her, she is an angel he wants to get close to, but once he wants to get close to, he subconsciously becomes guarded. There are two reasons: one is that Kim Jong-sung already has another woman named Han Jiaren in his heart. He has decided to pursue Han Jiaren. The other is that Kim Jong-sung feels that a woman like sleepwalking is not suitable for him. Such a woman is like a work of art. She will feel beautiful when she waits and sees it, but if she possesses it, it will be not beautiful. What is this? This is really too realistic.

...

...

It is undeniable that when Kim Jong-sung decided to stay in Mapo District for ten days, he had a strong impulse and romantic idea of ​​sleepwalking.

When Kim Jingcheng decided to write the novel "Moon House", he also had a strong impulse and romantic idea of ​​sleepwalking.

However, as Jin Jingcheng wrote, he found that he was fascinated by the writing of "Moon House", so the 100,000 words of the novel in the planned plan was the limit, but as he wrote, he found that he wanted to write more and more things, so he changed the 100,000 words of the plan to 200,000 words.

Jin Jingcheng only stayed in a hotel in Mapo District for ten days. It was impossible to finish a novel of 200,000 words carefully in ten days, so Jin Jingcheng planned to quickly curse the first draft of "Moon House" in these ten days, and add modifications later.

Kim Jingcheng wanted to write a dreamy and slightly complete story in a dreamlike language, which means that some detailed paragraphs are inevitable in "Moon House". Fortunately, Kim Jingcheng temporarily stayed in a hotel in Mapo District for ten days and found some detailed paragraphs.

These details and passages were secretly obtained by Kim Jingcheng in reality. During the ten days of staying in the hotel in Mapo District, Kim Jingcheng kept paying attention to her sleepwalking life and secretly observing her every move in life, including some seemingly inconspicuous small details. Once these small details in life are caught by Kim Jingcheng and inspired, they will evolve into beautiful dreams or dreamy romance in Kim Jingcheng's novels.

Let me give you a few examples.

Reality Detail 1: One night, the moonlight was bright, and Jin Jingcheng hid behind a big tree by the Han River. He saw sleepwalking alone sitting on the grass by the river. His dark figure was illuminated by the moonlight, and the night wind kept hitting her. She sat quietly and for a full two hours. During the two hours, she showed a thoughtful look, and I don’t know what she was thinking. What Jin Jingcheng could discover was just her dim look and the sorrow between her eyebrows. What Jin Jingcheng could clearly see was that when she was about to get up and leave after two hours, perhaps because of her leg cramps, she fell on the grass. But soon she stood up tenaciously and disappeared from Jin Jingcheng’s vision.

This realistic detail, written by Jin Jingcheng, became: On a moonlit night, he sat with her on the banks of the Han River, and they were illuminated by the moonlight. If you look from a high altitude or from a distance, they are like two small resting fireflies. They look at the light and shadows and reflections on the river surface, bathing in the cool night wind together. She first snuggled quietly on his shoulders, and he silently felt the temperature coming from her. Gradually, he couldn't help but turn his head and watch her crystal in the moonlight.
To be continued...
