Ruan Shiyu holed up at home, painting whenever she finished eating and eating whenever she finished painting. For three days straight, she finally finished drawing the ending of the manga. After making a few minor revisions, she sent it to Jiuniangzi with a note: "I have finished drawing the story. You can post it as the ending. I won't be taking any royalties for these chapters. From now on, we have nothing to do with each other. Goodbye."
When Jiuniangzi received Ruan Shiyu's ending, naturally she saw no reason not to use it. She quickly instructed her staff to schedule Ruan Shiyu's artwork into the publication all at once—the sooner it ended, the sooner they could be done with it.
Over on Ruan Shiyu's end, she truly breathed a sigh of relief. Actually, she had been quite afraid that after terminating her contract, Jiuniangzi wouldn't even want the ending. Although losing her royalties was a heavy blow, to Ruan Shiyu, sacrificing that bit of money was nothing; if Jiuniangzi had rejected her ending and let the story fizzle out unfinished, that would have been the worst possible outcome.
