I’m feeling unwell, so I’ve taken the day off.

First, a heartfelt thank you to reader Go Home to Mom for the monthly ticket—love you! I am deeply sorry, everyone, but there will be no update tonight. I have suffered from insomnia for two consecutive nights, totaling less than six hours of sleep.

Right now, I am feeling completely groggy, compounded by a headache and a toothache. Every time I drift into a hazy sleep, the pain wakes me up again. I feel absolutely miserable and am unable to write today's chapter.

"Starlight Shining on the Peninsula" is currently on hiatus due to illness. I am working on the update now; please wait a moment. Once the content has been updated, please refresh the page to access the latest chapter.
