    T^T But they really are living up to the whole villain role they were given. Thank you for your work being so consistent. After chapters like these, I can't wait for the next one~

    Just wanted to drop by and say how much I enjoy reading your translations tannhauser :) I don't normally read Chinese novels because of the lack of (believable) romance (or at least a somewhat fulfilling one...) but am so grateful (to the heavens xD) that you stumbled upon what has quickly become my favourite novel on NU :) it definitely scratches the "smart, intelligent protagonist instead of physically OP bruteforce above all and as dense as a neutron star" itch that I've been having :)

    Also, mandatory "down with the fengyi sect!" And Jiang ZheXChangle shipping xD
    Wishing all the plot armour on little Roulan though :O

    And the latest chapter with Concubine Chun :'(

    Yea. Concubine chun is actually innocent... it isnt her fault that the prince crave her like crazy that she gets killed over it. She cant really refuse the crown prince either...

    Little roulan might become the crown princess if I see everything right lol
    More like, the Prince is the better option than the old emperor (ew).
    But yea the moment they did the affair the concubine should prepare the long white clothes (for hanging herself)

    @Tannhauser if I have money I will be your sugar mommy but instead of sexual gratification it's novel translate gratification LOL
    *cough*

    Anyway obligatory #KILL LI HANYOU
    Now that the maid girl and baby were killed jiangzhe will feel pity for xia jinyi since he know how that feels. He'll make sure she die a painful death I think

    Thanks! I really like this novel a lot, as it not only makes you think, it also has believable, fully fleshed out characters with rich back stories. I'm glad you're enjoying this novel as much as I do. :)
    Whoooooo! Roulan! :D
    Rock, meet hard place. =/
    Aye, going from the prologue and the way that Li Jun and Roulan are crushing on one another.
    HAHAHAHA! :D Thanks!
    You'll find out shortly, Xia Jinyi's feelings. As for Li Hanyou's fate, let's just say she gets what she deserves and probably more.

    *Glares at Fan Huiyao* Get your filthy paws off my cute Roulan!!

    Reading this reminds me of some comments I read when reading Da Tang. The author, Huang Yi said that people are shades of grey, none entirely black or white. The reason why we dislike the "virtuous" characters is because they aren't perfectly virtuous and usually willing to do some bad things to achieve what they want. We don't dislike the "villains" as much because they aren't pure evil either.

    But Fengyi Sect can literally eat poop. Parading as pure and clean while harboring malicious, self-glorifying thoughts.

    That's especially the case for someone like Jiang Zhe. He's neither good nor bad, black nor white.

    It's become really hard to feel sympathy for the Fengyi Sect. It just seems that they'll do anything to fulfill their objectives, willing to be worse than the worst.
    Blasphemy, indeed! Poor Roulan probably doesn't know that she's the target of Fan Huiyao's machinations.

    I want to claw her eyes!!!!!!
    Maybe she wishes to create an alliance by using that premise but she didn't know jiangzhe wishes to see her sect burn to ashes.
    And please true compassion arrive quickly!
    (Btw I'm loving the monk's name, elegantly chuuni lol)

    Daym. I must admit, the info dump was interesting and not at all boring, however, I really feel sorry for Xia Jinyi. He really has been through a lot, not less than Jiang Zhe.

    Li Shun once said that they are very similar. Who knew that they were THAT similar.

    The biggest difference is their background. Because he entered the Kongtong Sect, Xia Jinyi has a martial background. Jiang Zhe, because of his education, is a scholar. Aside from that, Jiang Zhe is a scheming, manipulative genius.
    Revenge is a dish best served cold!

    Wasn't too bad admittedly! But enough to make me anticipate the next chapter even more.

    I know that it'd basically impossible for Li Zhi to die from this sudden attack but it's still such a (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻ moment !

    Why is the princess of Yong called "Crown Princess" by True Compassion? Isn't the Crown Princess supposed to be Li An's main wife?
    @Tannhauser, please, enlighten me!
