Among those popular alumni, there was this popular author in particular - "Ou Yang," who had the full attention of the spotlight.
Many mistook Ou Yang as his surname, expecting it to be tailed by additional names. In actuality, his surname was Ou, and a single name Yang.
Ou Yang was already in his forties; he was a popular author who wrote thrillers. He came from an average family, and had an ordinary student life. After university graduation, he became an electrical engineer, and wrote after his working hours.
During his time, the internet was not commonplace yet; there were no suitable places for web novels to thrive. Fortunately, there were many literary prizes in this world's China, especially detective novels, which sold better than others. They also carried heavier price tags, which was why many publishers were willing to publish such novels, as they were far easier to sell.
