Good evening, everyone! Shigure here. ✨
          
          I hope you’re all doing well. I just wanted to give a quick update since it has been a busy few weeks for me.
          
          Recently, Super Typhoon Uwan reached my country. Thankfully, there was no major damage in our area, and my family and I are safe in our apartment on the second floor. I truly appreciate the concerns and prayers from my friends irl who reached out.
          
          You may have noticed that I haven't been making announcement posts for updates lately. Even before my current exams, I’ve already been quite busy, so I scheduled the updates in advance to keep everything consistent.
          
          Right now, it’s my final exam week, and I still have more exams in the weeks ahead. Because of that, I might continue to be a little less active, but I’m still here!❤️
          
          I’ve had both good and not-so-good experiences on Wattpad recently. I won’t go into detail, but I’m choosing to focus on the positive and on the people who continue to support and inspire me. ❤️
          
          As for my writing journey, when I think about how long my story might go, I feel like it may even finish after I graduate!  But who knows? I have many new stories planned too, and I’m excited for what’s ahead. Don’t worry, I don’t plan on disappearing or going on hiatus. Balancing real life and writing has always been my expertise eheh.
          
          Thank you all so much for your continued support.
          Wishing everyone a wonderful night! ✨

Good evening, everyone! I’m happy to share that I’ve made significant progress on the next chapter and I was able to complete roughly half of it tonight. However, with upcoming quizzes and exams, my writing schedule may be a bit unpredictable for the time being. I truly appreciate your patience and support, and I’ll do my best to publish the chapter as soon as I can.❤️❤️

Hi everyone! I hope you are all doing well. I apologize for not being very active recently.
          
          Yesterday, my family and I visited my granduncle’s grave together with my relatives I had never met before. It was a nice opportunity to get to know my cousins from my granduncle’s side of the family, and we enjoyed a small picnic together.
          
          During the Halloween party with my friends, I actually didn’t plan to attend at first, until one of my friends showed up at my house unexpectedly to pick me up, haha shameless I know. Since I didn’t have any costume prepared, I decided to wear a formal outfit: a black coat with a vest, a white shirt and tie, and black trousers. Then my brother added a black cape, and I suddenly felt like a duke like Lucien! Except I don’t have dark blue eyes, of course. :-)✨♥️

So i entered the Best Male Lead category in this awards, and guess what? Lucien won as 2nd runner-up! Ehehe my cold, stoic duke really charmed his way to the top!✨❤️

Good day, everyone! ❤️✨
          
          I’m happy to share that my research defense was successfully held this morning. I’m sincerely hoping that we will receive a favorable result. After the presentation, my friends and I took some time to relax and enjoy the rest of the day together. ❤️✨
          
          I would also like to extend my heartfelt thanks to everyone who wished me good luck, your support truly means a lot. You’re all wonderful! ❤️✨
          
          On another note, I have a random question: how would you rate the inspector × thief trope? lemme know what you think?

ShigureShinyGaze

@RedPetal49 To tell you the truth... I do have an idea iykyk :-)✨ 
            
            They’re two sides of the same coin, and both frighteningly smart.
            
            A dangerously elegant thief who hides behind the thousand faces and a stoic inspector who swore to catch her.
            But what happens when he finally does?
            
            Also it gives me a noir vibe.✨♥️

@ShigureShinyGaze Congrats!!  ❤️
            
            Let's see... I'd say a pairing that forces one or both parties to see the world from a different perspective - i.e. understand why the thief steals or reflect on the larger social system - is a plus. And I love seeing love overcome obstacles like being forbidden or being in conflict with someone's duty (like arresting the thief). And seeing the adorable inner struggle of people thinking, "No, I *can't* be attracted to this person, I need to squash these feelings... so why am I getting lost in their eyes and holding their hand every time we find ourselves in a sticky situation?" ;P So I can definitely see some great elements there. I can also see it lending itself to cat-and-mouse chases, leaving clues/riddles for the inspector, etc., and other such hijinks. :)

Hey everyone! Just a heads-up: 
          
          I’ll be putting my writing on “pause mode” until our research defense is over. If you know what a capstone is… well, no need for me to explain myself . Our defense is this Sunday, so my groupmates and I need to hunker down and prep like our academic lives depend on it (because, well… they do).
          
          Until then, wishing you all a good night! ♥️✨
