Name: The Sleuth Of Ming Dynasty [成化十四年] Raw Link: http://www.jjwxc.net/onebook.php?novelid=2221448 NU page: Sadly there's none at the moment Why It Should Get Picked Up: The novel is by Meng Xi Shi, english speaking danmei fans know this author by the following very popular novels: Thousands Autumns and Wushuang. The sleuth of Ming Dynasty is considered one of the most well received novels by her, and unlike some of other novels by Meng Xi Shi, the main couple gets together in the main story. The novel has a live action adaptation directed by Jackie Chan with Darren Chen as its main lead and it’s coming out in April. It looks pretty good but it’s also going to censor the relationship between the main leads and likely the novel plot itself. So I really hope someone picks it up so we could know how the main two leads and their relationship are really like in the novel. Description: (unedited MTL because I'm not sure if the drama one accurately describes the events that happen in the novel) In the fourteenth year of Chenghua, there was a concubine in the harem and a factory named Wang Zhi in the west factory. Prince Zhu Youzhen was just eight years old. I don't know if I can grow up smoothly. The emperor did nothing, the eunuchs deceived and concealed, the court officials filled the gaps, arrogated for the evil ones, and sighed for the good ones. The world is like this. This year, Tang Fan was transferred from the Hanlin Academy to Shuntian Mansion, and served as the promotion officer of Liupin. In one sentence: The story of the protagonist rising while solving the case. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The leads in the novels by this author always have a great, fun dynamics so I hope someone picks it up so we could enjoy it along the live action!!
Decided to mtl it a few hours ago, but if someone really picked it up, I'll be reaaaallyyyyyyy happy!
Are Thousand Autumn have happy ending too? Because you say that unlike her other novel which the couple likely not got together??
https://goldenpaviliontl.wordpress.com/teasers/the-sleuth-of-the-ming-dynasty-chapter-1/ Teaser if anyone wants a sample before they pick up. I don't have space in my schedule so I don't want to make people wait.
This novel has a teaser translated but there's no NU page yet. As for the Thousand Autumn couple, they did get together and got their happy ending. If I'm not mistaken it just happened in the end of the novel as opposed to getting together in the middle. If a couple doesn't end up together and the novel has a BE the authors and translators themselves usually mention it. Thank you so much for translating the teaser! I hope someone picks it up
I think I saw someone translating it but they didn't actively shared the links here in NU (I think it's intentional, I can't blame them though). Gonna check it later and if I see them, I'll ask first.
https://www.novelupdates.com/series/the-fourteenth-year-of-chenghua/ seems to be uploading in its original Chinese title.
It's shounen ai. When I'm not sure I usually head to jjwxc site and check whether there're any locked chapters lol
Hahahaha! But it might not be the right way to check. Some chapters might have been locked, the author altered (censored) them and now they are unlocked. Look at the 'last update' column. The uncensored versions of those chapters might still be floating around the internet. For this novel you can see that chapters 33, 61, 89, 90, 99, 131, 134, 149, 151 were modified in 2019 - when a major content crackdown occurred. I hope the translator takes note of it.
