Name: Ostentatious Zhao Yao Raw Link: http://91baby.mama.cn/thread-1151763-1-1.html NU Link: http://www.novelupdates.com/series/ostentatious-zhao-yao/ Why It Should Get Picked Up: A very funny romantic comedy. The female protagonist is quite lively and the male lead very devoted. The main misunderstanding comes from her accidental death -- she thought he meant to KO her when in fact he didn't mean to. In fact, he's quite head over heels for her. Has a happy ending. Another story that deserves to get picked up and that I've only been forced to drop it because I don't have the time to give it the attention it deserves. Description: Lu Zhao Yao always made it a point to live her entire life in the loudest, most ostentatious manner possible. Her death, however… Was an extremely quiet and low-key affair. And a summary from NU (courtesy of Kiseki of Radiant Translations): In a hilarious and sweet xianxia romance set in Ancient China, Lu Zhao Yao went through life living ostentatiously in every way possible. She lived her entire demon life in a loud and brazen manner, reigning over legions of demons, and yet——just before she was about to retrieve the sword of the ancient demon king and rightfully claim her spot on the throne——she died. In the most quiet and unobtrusive manner possible. How? By accident. Mo Qing, one of her lowest ranking lackeys at that point in time, had killed her after he retrieved the demon sword and unintentionally unleashed the sword’s demonic aura onto the heavily injured Lu Zhao Yao. Her quiet and untimely death, coupled with her firm belief that Mo Qing had sneakily betrayed her by lying in the shadows and waiting to strike the final blow and reap all the rewards, nurtured a heavy grievance within her. Lu Zhao Yao refused to head to the underworld and reincarnate, hanging around in the human world in her spirit form. Lady Luck, however, had not completely abandoned her. One fine day, a female disciple of the Immortal Sect (Zhi Yan) fought with her childhood friend and banged her head onto Lu Zhao Yao’s grave. To Lu Zhao Yao’s utmost delight, she was able to possess Zhi Yan’s body for short periods of time after this. Thus began her journey to avenge her very own death by destroying Mo Qing——and, in the process, resume her rightful place as the King over all demon sects!
Does anyone know the status of this novel? The last update was in February. I finished reading it with mtl but that's not the same as an actual translation of course. Edit: 19 Feb '18 so I suppose there's still some time. I just would like to know if translator is just taking a break or something.
The translator posted today: T/N: It’s been a long time, and I’m truly sorry. Unfortunately I can’t promise that future chapters will come quickly. I love this novel and I’m not going to drop it, but if anyone can devote more time to this, please feel free to take over at any time and just drop me a comment here so I know to stop working on it. Otherwise, I’ll keep at it, slowly but surely!
I read it last year, it was good one. At first, I want to translate it, but found out someone still translating. Also my **** level of english is poor. So I decided to translate another but Pirate web got me. (Make me cannot translate another). Hope someone will pick it up.
