After last night's update, some old save files were inexplicably deleted. Please back up your old save files. I'm still investigating the cause of the problem. I'm truly sorry.

Emergency Fix:

Copy the old save file to

steam > steamapps > common > LateMing > LateMing > Saved > SaveGames,

and you can then read the original save file normally.

• Overhauled the previous brothel gameplay logic

• Added "A Moment of Spring Joy" feature

• Added "Listen to Music" feature

📌 A Few Thoughts on This Update

Lately, maybe because I've been adding too many things at once, I've been busy every day—but when I finally look at the update, it feels like only a little bit got done… I'm reflecting on that. I'll try to adjust my pace. My goal is to finish all brothel and pleasure house features before May 1st, then roll them out gradually. No abandoned content.

🎪 Also

The Medieval Game Festival has begun! You're welcome to buy and try the game. If you're into this late Ming dynasty chaos setting, now's a good time to jump in.

Let me know if you run into any issues. I'll keep my head down and keep fixing.
