    A side character that barely gets as much screentime seems to be developed so well. I respect Princess Changle man, she is a well-thought out character that you can't help but feel sorry for. Sigh.
    On another note, Jing Chi is cute.

    Changle is a sad character. Because of her birth, she is required to fulfill her duties as per noblesse oblige. And now, she can't be with the man she loves because she doesn't want to harm his future and his life.

    Characters like Jing Chi are actually quite common in Chinese history and literature. Jing Chi, of course, is based on the historical figure of Yuchi Jingde (尉迟敬德), a general who served Li Shimin, the Taizong Emperor of Tang.
    Eventually. There's too many obstacles, at present, and Jiang Zhe has yet to show everyone (re: emperor and Noble Consort Zhangsun) how capable he is.

    The schemes and tactics are so profound! I'm looking forward to the battle against Fenyi Sect.

    I may not get the chance until after I finish translating TGS. It's all dependent on my schedule.

    @Tannhauser How many volumes are there for TGS? I know it says 200+ chapters, but what about the volumes?
    Anw, this chapter was quite interesting as we finally get to hear Jiang Zhe's thoughts on Princess Changle. So... is she not a nun yet? What is she currently?

    There's only six volumes total. Prologue, Volume 1 - 30 chapters, Volume 2 - 30 chapters, Volume 3 - 42 chapters, Volume 4 - 30 chapters, Volume 5 - 41 chapters, Volume 6 - 49 chapters, Epilogue.

    Although that doesn't add up to 228. Qidian must also be counting random BS posts.

    Li An going after his dad's women? Now that is some nastiness I haven't seen in a while. It's only incest by law right? But since it's a new concubine so likely has no relations with the crown prince? Still... he done messed up there!

    Not biologically related, no.
    As Sang Chen stated, Fan Huiyao originally had good intentions, but somehow lost her way.

    You know, I actually kind of like that Fan Huiyao lost her way. Not because I'm a sick twisted person but because it makes her much more human. We all screw up sometimes anyways! It makes her a much more believable character and in one sense, a better antagonist!
    She's not evil because she literally is, but she too has her own beliefs shaped by her own life experiences which may or may not have twisted her originally pure intentions!

    Anw, I'm getting ahead of myself. I'll go read the recent chapter now!

    Seems like Xia Jinyi has some sort of past association with Li Hanyou... I get the feeling that she's the "Liang Wan" of the past two volumes (a character that most readers can easily direct their hate towards) oh man I wonder how Xia Jinyi is gonna get out of this one...

    Someone caught up with TGS :D
    Xia Jinyi is really in a pickle atm, not sure how he would escape against two fengyi sect disciples. They are pretty strong too!

    Oh yeah... the read took slightly longer than I anticipated...

    >_>


    I was thinking earlier that he might use his glib tongue to get out of this situation but it seems that Xiao Lan is definitely set on getting rid of him. I think the only move he has left is exposing himself as a spy, though it'd be tough because he hasn't shown any spy-like actions so they'd probably not believe him.. WOW Jiang Zhe thought this one out well.

    Wait a sec there buddy. Why would he want to reveal that he's a spy? Regardless of how believable that is, I'm pretty sure both of them would just kill him right then and there just to make sure.

    Eh? Uh. Right. Jiang Zhe would be difficult to implicate indeed. I'm a little out of it >.> Understanding that sentence took me time.
