Well, it could mean that in the context of the novel, the first lie that is told somehow has a significant impact or advantage. Maybe it sets the plot in motion, like if a character tells the first lie and then the whole story unfolds around trying to cover it up or the consequences that follow from that initial falsehood.
One example could be 'Gone Girl'. In the story, Amy tells a major lie at the very beginning which sets the whole plot in motion. Her lie completely changes the course of the investigation and her husband's life. She is in a way 'winning' in the sense that she is in control of the situation through her initial falsehood.
" The Story of the Silly Concubine's Victory in Lying Down " was an ancient romance novel. It mainly told the story of a female protagonist whose brain was damaged due to a high fever being abducted by the male protagonist, the Emperor, back to the palace to become the Empress. The plot of the novel was fascinating, and the author, Jiang Yunrao, had put in a lot of effort to polish it. It was widely recommended by readers. However, the specific plot and other details, as well as how to read the novel, were not provided in the search results.
The statement 'first lie wins a novel' could be part of a unique competition or game. In this situation, lying is not in the negative sense of being unethical but more of a creative act. For example, it could be a game where people have to make up false but interesting stories, and the first one who does so in an appealing way gets a novel. It's a way to promote creativity and quick thinking while also having an unusual prize.
The chapter number of Celebrating Years 1 was not clearly given in the novel. Therefore, I don't know how many chapters are there in the first chapter.
The first season of the TV series " Celebrating Years " ended in the 99th chapter of the fourth volume, which was the last chapter of " Fog of the North Sea."
