Chapter 16 <– click on the link to read it

Embroidered sachets

Last time, Chu Yu mentioned that women were trying to give him embroidered sachets. I think these were Qingyang sachets, also known as “chu chu” hahahahaha!

These are basically handmade cloth sachets that are normally filled with perfume items or traditional Chinese medicine ingredients. Stuff like herbs, cinnabar, realgar and other strongly aromatic TCM ingredients are commonly used.

Today’s chapter was not edited so if you see any errors, please leave a comment.

I love this chapter, it’s sooooo good! I was squee-ing all the way from start to finish because I am just a hopeless fujoshi sometimes. Thanks for reading.

Chapter 72.2 – Merry Christmas

Chapter 72.2 <— click on the link to read it

I’m sorry, there’s no extra chapters for Christmas.

who are you
Xiu: Who are you? Du Ze: I’m Du Ze (a reader).

I’m already translating as fast as I can and I can’t add more chapters. Actually, my editor is on break during the holidays which means that the next few chapters will be unedited. This is, of course, my fault for not being fast enough to stock up chapters for these little breaks, lol. Just blame me for not being some sort of translator robot.

You can help me out if you want by letting me know if there are any errors.

Merry Christmas, everyone! Have a great week.

Chapter 72.1 – Sorry for the confusion

Chapter 72.1 <— click on the link to read it. Thank you to my anonymous donors.

I’m sorry that I confused some people

Chapter 73 is the one with the snu-snu *cough*. This one, chapter 72, does not have that type of content.

So don’t worry, everything is fine.

Louis mentioned the gnome. I remember that some readers asked how exactly Louis and the gnome reproduced. Here is the family tree again. It seems that Louis put his “breath” on the gnome through some crazy experiment and the gnome later escaped. The gnome’s child was Xiu’s father.

xiu family history

So now we have some information about that side of Xiu’s parentage.

Chapter 71.1 – Fun with literal translations

Chapter 71.1 <— click on this link to read

This is why translation is difficult

Analects: 君君臣臣父父子子 – jūn jūn chén chén fù fù zǐ zǐ

In English it would be (transliterated): Lord Lord Minister Minister Father Father Son Son.

Given that type of sentence, a translator would have to interpret it properly and in a way that English readers can understand. In this case, it is saying “A ruler is a ruler; a minister is a minister; a father is a father; a son is a son.”

However, you can’t really stop there, can you? Well, actually you can stop there. It might be best to let readers make their own conclusion.

If you want to explain it though, then what it means would be something like: “A ruler should act as a ruler; a minister should act as a minister; a father should act as a father; a son should act as a son.”

In other words everyone has their proper place in society.

Chapter 70.1 – Milestone reached!

Chapter 70.1 <– click on the link to read it. Thanks to anonymous for the donation.

I’ve reached the Chapter 70 milestone!

Only 25 chapters left to go! Whohoo! Why did I put so many exclamation marks?! I must be over-excited.

When I first started this project I wasn’t sure how fast I could publish chapters. Thankfully, once those first few chapters were finished, I managed to release chapters everyday. That time when I was sick doesn’t count. 😛

Thank you to all my readers for all your support. I couldn’t have done daily chapters all this time without your encouragement and comments.
