    So there's this paragraph which says:

    '像是知道陆清韵在想什么似的,时笙义正言辞的道:“花钱也是一门艺术,最近我的花出去的钱,可都是你赚了。”'

    It's the part highlighted in red that I'm not sure about. From what I gather, it can either go:
    "All the money I spent recently came from you!"

    or:

    "You earned all the money I spent recently!"

    Please give me your opinions on this.

    "All the money I spent recently may have come from you!"

    :blobpeek: Just throwing my two cents in, hope it's helpful.

    While "All the money I spent recently came from you" catches the meaning, I would reword it. Here's a suggestion:
    "Spending money is also an art. All the money I've been spending recently came from your pocket."

    [Edit: I also just realized you're the TL for Side Character Transmigrations : The Final Boss is No Joke...thank you for the translations done so far!]
