Biography[]
Mo Xiang Tong Xiu is in reality her pseudonym. Apparently her mother wanted her to study economics, while she wished to go into literature. In an interview[1] she said that her mother told her that if she wanted then she could smell the fragrance of ink in one hand while letting the other one stink of money. 墨香 means 'ink fragrance' and 铜臭 is a phrase literally meaning 'stink of money'.
Her interest in boys love was born from reading D.Gray-Man fanfiction in middle school. She loved reading stories written by others and decided to try it herself. Mo Xiang Tong Xiu never expected that her second story, Mo Dao Zu Shi, will become so popular. It brought to her many opportunities, including working with many interesting manga artists and voice actors.[1]
