Omg... The old version seems like hell. Although, I think i would have preferred it. coughcough. There's a reason I'm here reading this. And it's not for the happy ending. lol I think it would have made more sense with Ah Zuo as a person to keep the other story really.
ReplyDeleteAnywhos, damn this chapter. I want to say 'HA IN YOUR FACE!!' But at the same times, it's like... Complicated. JB only felt threatened by ZC's over whelming favor and there was also the pressure from literally everyone that MY's love was the only thing she had... So, there's that. But at the same time.... Is Wang Yangzuo going to figure anything out? Like, JB and FP's relationship is happening right under the palace roof. Also, where'd all the snakes go?
PS My feelings about XCY is going to meh to are you seriously stupid? He's the guy who begged ZC to let the Wei family go isn't he? And now he's ruining ZC's reputation? (not that it's a secret at this point, but still, just the way he laid it out and everything, it is was a scandalous affair) Like, who's he working for? Why does everyone have to be so rude to ZC even though she did them favors (because sh'es super nice) and saved their lives? Sigh I miss her two friends... Where's the Yang doc? He's the only one I trust right now to give the correct judgement on ZC's condition.
Many thanks
I still hate MY. He's the most hateful person for me rn. Hahahaha. Thanks for tl!
ReplyDeleteHere the old version. It is more painful to read in in MTL. The old version never mention that she was an empress neither, so I don’t get the title. The storyline the same until it get middle where it changes direction,

Thank you Dilly! I'll try to translate that version, too when I can so you can read it in a more readable form. It may take a while though, as I'm expecting to finish the new version in around May, and there may be another book that I had stated I was going to look at first. But, it does look like the chapters in the older version are significantly shorter. So hopefully I'll be able to get to it soon.
DeleteI did read some comments talk about new version and old version. what version is this? I need to read the two of them? are they very different?
ReplyDeleteIIRC, this is the new one. I ended up liking it less, because the old one was significantly more angsty and sad.
