It was against the law to plagiarize someone else's novel, even under contract. According to China's copyright law, without the permission of the copyright owner, no one can copy, distribute, display, perform, broadcast, exhibit, adapt, translate, etc. to exploit the works of others.

I plagiarized someone else's novel and signed a contract. I was discovered when it was about to be published. Is it okay?
I plagiarized someone else's novel, signed a contract, and was discovered when it was about to be published. It should be fine, right? It depends on the specific situation. In the eyes of the law, plagiarism was an act of copyright violation, which could lead to copyright disputes. However, if the plagiarism was a light entertainment work such as a light novel or manga, and only a part of it was plagiarized, and after being discovered, an apology and compensation were made, then they might be forgiven. However, if you plagiarized a novel or other literary work and seriously violated the rights of the original author, you might face serious consequences such as copyright disputes, penalties, and a ban. The plagiarized novel was published, signed, and discovered just before it was about to hit the shelves. They should contact the original author as soon as possible to apologize and compensate him to eliminate the negative impact.

I wrote a novel, and the number of words I signed was 300,000. Now, I've written 260,000. Can I finish it?
Writing a novel, signing a contract, the word count is 300,000, I've written 260,000, I want to end it, can I? Normally, a novel of 260,000 words was already a large scale. Therefore, if the contract had been signed and the plot and ending of the novel had been confirmed, it might be a good choice to finish the novel. However, before finishing the novel, I suggest you communicate with the editor first to see their opinions and suggestions. Sometimes, the editor might have higher requirements for the remaining words of the novel or need to make some changes to ensure the quality of the novel. In addition, if the novel did not meet the editor's requirements, he could also try to modify and improve the story to make it more attractive and more in line with the readers 'tastes. In this way, even if the novel could not be completed in the end, he could continue to work hard to improve the quality of the novel and make it a better work.
Can I cancel the contract for a novel that I've signed?
Whether or not a contract could be terminated depended on the specific terms of the contract. The contract might specify the copyright, adaptation rights, distribution rights, and other rights of the novel, as well as the author's responsibilities and obligations in the creative process. If the contract contains a termination clause, the author can terminate the contract and terminate the partnership with the publishing house or platform at his will. However, if there was no termination clause in the contract, the author could only fulfill his obligations according to the contract and wait for the termination clause to appear. In some cases, the author might find that he had violated the terms of the contract in the process of writing and could not terminate the contract. For example, if the author included illegal content in the work or violated the partnership with the publishing house or platform, the contract terms might be effective to limit the author's right to terminate the contract. If the author wants to terminate the contract, it is recommended to consult a lawyer to understand the specific contents of the contract terms and consult relevant legal opinions. At the same time, authors should also carefully consider their own decisions to ensure that their actions were legal and compliant.
Do I have to pay for all the articles reprinted now?
Not necessarily. Whether or not to pay for reprinting an article depended on many factors such as the source of the article, the purpose of reprinting, the ownership of the copyright of the article, and so on. If the source of the article is a public platform or a platform that is not protected by copyright, such as Zhihu, Weixin Official Accounts etc., then the article can usually be reprinted, but it should be noted that the rules and laws of the platform must not be violated. If the article is reprinted for personal use, quote, adaptation, or re-creation, and in accordance with the relevant provisions of copyright law, then no remuneration is required. If the source of the article is protected by copyright, such as novels, movies, music, etc., then reprinting the article requires the author's authorization or payment of copyright fees. If you do not obtain the author's authorization or reprint an article that violates the author's copyright, it may constitute an act of copyright violation and you will have to bear the corresponding legal responsibility. Therefore, whether or not he needed to pay for reposting the article depended on the specific situation. If you are not sure if it is legal or if you need to pay, it is recommended to consult a professional or the local copyright department.
