Notes:

Original poem:
杨柳青青江水平，闻郎江上唱歌声。
东边日出西边雨，道是无晴却有晴。

This is a poem by Liu Yuxi, a poet of the Tang Dynasty, who based it off a folk song. To put it simply, the poem is about the mixed feelings (bafflement, affection and hope) of a young maiden who was unsure if the gentleman she liked reciprocate her feelings (he was indifferent before) when she heard him singing about his feelings for her from the river; it was after a sunshower, and the sky was clear on the East bank while it was still raining on the West bank, leading our maiden to equate his ambiguous feelings with the equally ambiguous weather.

Reika’s Notes:

• This chapter is by Lianyin of BC Novels.
• Help! I need at least one more translator to finish the extras in time. If you’re interested, please message me in the NU forums. My forum nick is Readerz. There are only around 6 chapters left that aren’t being worked on right now so the work won’t be a lot.
• How did you like the little snake boy’s chapter?
• Tianlang-Jun originally wanted to give him the title or name Zhuzhi-Jun. In chapter 52 it’s explained that the “Jun” part is a royal suffix among the demons. The “Lang” suffix has some status but it’s “not of extraordinary origin.”
• Please let me know if there are any errors. Thanks for reading.
