A structured workspace for long-form writing

Every chapter, character,
and thread —

on one clear story map.

QINGYAN is an AI writing studio for novelists and screenwriters. Story maps, character files, and foreshadowing stay in order; the AI only drafts proposals inside your structure, and nothing reaches the manuscript until you approve it.

A second signature in the archive room

In a dusty filing cabinet the protagonist finds a second signature stamp — the same hand as the suicide note in chapter one.

Capabilities

The order a million characters needs

A chat window can't hold a novel. QINGYAN breaks long-form work into manageable structure — then lets the AI operate strictly inside it.

Story map

Volumes, arcs, and chapter-level beats unfold layer by layer. Conflicts and gaps are visible at a glance.

Volume II · Adrift
Ch. 45 · The archive-room lamp
Ch. 46 · Trail of the rainy night
Ch. 47 · A second signature
Foreshadow · the stamp · pays off in 3 chapters

Character files

Desires, wounds, and knowledge boundaries stay on record — chapter two hundred still sounds like chapter one.

DesireLearn who wrote his father's note
WoundCast out young from his family

Cheng Yanqiu · mentorZhou Bo · old friend

Foreshadow tracker

Every thread records where it is planted and where it pays off. Deadlines surface before setups go stale.

Proposal review

Every AI edit arrives as a highlighted diff. Accept or reject line by line — the final word is yours.

Style rules

Honorifics, banned words, and narrative voice become hard constraints the AI must draft under.

Forms of addressMaster / senior brother / Zhou
Narrative voiceThird person · restrained
Banned words"seemingly", "in an instant"

Continuity audit

Timelines, lore, and character states are checked automatically — contradictions never reach the manuscript.

Scenarios

Whatever you write, the desk is set

One structure, shaped for every kind of long-form work.

01

Serialized web novels

Daily updates strain outlines, buffers, and memory.

The story map owns the structure, foreshadow alerts fire on time, and offline mode keeps the streak alive.

02

Screenplays & short drama

Many scenes, many speakers — voices drift.

Beat sheets are organized by scene; character files hold every line to its voice.

03

Mystery & heavy worldbuilding

Clue fairness and timelines break quietly.

Foreshadow tracking and continuity audits catch logic gaps before they merge.

04

Fan fiction

Canon is vast; readers catch every drift.

Build a canon library once — relevant files are injected before every draft.

05

Studios & multi-book authors

Several titles at once — styles bleed together.

Isolated workspaces, per-book style rules, one shared credit pool.

06

Rewriting an old draft

Hundreds of thousands of words — where to start?

Import the draft, rebuild the outline, regenerate chapter by chapter at your own pace.

Workflow

From a spark to a finished manuscript

Five stages, each confirmed by you before the next one begins.

01

Conceive

Write the premise and genre direction; set the tone of the whole book.

02

Define

World rules and character files take shape; boundaries are made explicit.

03

Outline

Volumes and chapter beats unfold layer by layer; foreshadowing is placed.

04

Draft

Prose follows your style rules — the AI drafts, you decide.

05

Merge

Only after continuity checks and your line-by-line review does text reach the manuscript.

FAQ

Questions you might have

When I write long fiction, the AI forgets earlier plot. How does QINGYAN solve that?

Outlines, character files, foreshadow states, and existing prose are compiled into structured context and injected per task. Output returns as proposals, and only after continuity checks and your line-by-line review does it merge — the structure holds, so the memory holds.

Where is my manuscript stored, and what happens to account and AI requests?

In the current version, work files are stored on your device by default. Sign-in, subscriptions, credits, and AI tasks are handled by QINGYAN services. When you start an AI task, the context needed for that task is sent to the selected service; review the scope before submitting.

Does it still work offline?

Yes. Outline editing, character files, drafting, search, and export are all available offline; reconnect anytime to summon the AI assistant.

Will AI-generated content overwrite my manuscript?

No. AI output appears as a proposal or diff first. It is written into the work only after continuity checks and your line-by-line review; you can reject a proposal when it does not fit.

How many devices can I use?

One account can be signed in on up to 3 devices at once. In the current version, each device keeps its own work library, while subscriptions and credits are shared across devices.
