Summary
Qin Jiu transmigrated into a switched-at-birth novel.
She became the first daughter of a marquis’ household. She was swapped out maliciously at a young age and raised in the countryside.
The fake young mistress female lead was a rebirthed girl. The pearl of the capital, and the future wife of the second prince.
In the original novel, Qin Jiu had been jealous of the female lead and kept going against her, trying in vain to frame her. Unaware of her lacking capabilities, she even tried to steal the male lead from her. Eventually, everyone turned their backs against Qin Jiu and she was killed by an arrow to the heart.
After reviewing the plot, Qin Jiu tore up the script–She doesn’t want to be this villainess cannon fodder! Then in the next moment, she jumped into the arms of Regent Gu Zezhi.
Qin Jiu, “Sob sob sob…golden thighs!”
Gu Zezhi, “I’ll let you hug them.” The regent of the dynasty had a fierce reputation of great power and heartless killings. Many people hated him, feared him, and wanted him dead. Then, one day, someone saw the infamously fierce regent holding a little girl in his arms with a pampering expression. Gu Zezhi kissed her hair and spoke in a gentle voice. “You can get rid of anyone you want. I’m here.”

Hurray!!! Thank you for picking up this novel. I was so sad when the translator stopped translating so the novel was dropped. The previous translator had already translated 200+ chapters. Rather than start from the beginning, maybe you can get a link from her and pick up from there?
kyouya
that’s actually what i wanted. i tried to contact the prev TLer but she isn’t replying.. so here I am from the very beginning.
Kuroneko_chan
Oh no!! Thank you for doing it!! Gayau!!!
Mai C. Lee
Idk if it was actually 200+ chapters. She liked to split up her chapters into 4-5 parts so I’d say it was more like 40-50 chapters? It’s still a good chunk of the story. Regardless, I’ll camp here for now since I already finished the story via MTL. But this is one of my fave novels so im going to reread it most likely
Kuroneko_chan
Most likely. I had her Patreon so I was reading her advance chapters. I also really liked this story. It had just gotten to the good part – imperial edict, and then was cut off. I was so sad. I will also be camping out here ?
Fleeting Cloud
We will be re-posting Kitty’s translations of this novel too.
Ofc, we will give full credits.
Kuroneko_chan
Uwaaaaa!!!! Hurray!! I can’t wait! I was seriously left hanging at the best part – the FL finally got the imperial edict.
Fleeting Cloud
After some thought, I felt that it will be very hasty to do something like this.
First, we will see whether readers are confortable with us doing something like this by testing it on Male Lead novel.
If they are, we will also do same for this novel.
Sorry for all the expectations.
I just felt that this practise may not sit well with some readers.
I hope that I am just overthinking things.
Kay
Totally ok by me. I’m so psyched to see this story back I was devastated when ShainaG deleted her site and I couldn’t even go back and reread it.
Fleeting Cloud
Oh
Good to hear some feedback.
If things go as planned, we will do so in next 10 days.
Kuroneko_chan
I’m obviously totally on board. The last chapter I read was a cliff hanger.
EllieKit
It really was! I’m now so pumped by the idea that the new translators will continue from where the previous left off!

Hello, do you mind sharing a lil bit about the FL of this novel? I’m kind of on the fence about it.
Kuroneko_chan
The FL is hilarious and she is a strong character, a bit black bellied, and intelligent. The ML is also quite interesting, not the ahole type ML, but a true ML. The other characters are also interesting. This is overall a great novel, has comedy and political intrigue. Not dog blood type drama.
Pocket Bunny
Thanks so much! Sounds like my type of FL.
Shivani Sharma
Can you please start the translation after chapter 218 since other aggregate websites have uploaded till chapter 218 .
Please , I hope you will consider my suggestion ????.
Since the translator has left novel community ,you can continue after her translation

I have a hunch that she’s the original owner herself. Perhaps the OG rebirthed to modern time after she died and transmigrated to her previous life??? I mean, it’s possible… Considering her dreams.

Qin xin is an entitled little shit. In the first place nothing that she has been enjoying from the Qin family ever belonged to her. So she has no right to say that Qin gui is trying to take anything away from her.
Erella
Exactly. “I have been stepping back, again and again every step of the way but why is Qin Zening not letting it go, even a bit!?”
By stepping back, she means knowingly trying to take someone else’s place, while her own parents abuse and mistreat the person she replaced?! “Boohoo, one of the people I’ve been duping for over 10 years found out about the lying and isn’t treating me like a goddess who can do no wrong! What did I do to deserve this??!?!? o(T?To)”
(¬_¬ )
AerynDessee
The self delusion is strong with this one.
Erella
When will these types of people learn that delulu is not the solulu!? (?_?;)
?Uwuu?
So tru like it’s not even hers in the first place and the audacity to say that Qin Gui is taking what’s hers when everything she owned belongs to Qin Gui
Kuroneko_chan

Anazu Salted Fish
In the era where one person mistake can lead to 3 generations’ doom, its natural for her to shoulder the crime as well.
Musica Nota
It probably would’ve been different if the brother believed she didn’t know, which is fair since she too was just a kid.
Emmanuelle Mestres
I think so too. Although at four years old unless the parents had planned it since they were babies she would know who her parents were even if she wouldn’t neccesarly know that they were swithching her.
Anazu Salted Fish
such a white lotus

Xiao Yu
Thank you so much!!! I love this story!!
What is our Jiu going to do?
How long is he going to postpone this? Here I was hoping he would directly send a decree.
Erella
“Even if she treats them with sincerity…” ???
What sincerity? (?_?)
Mai C. Lee
Also “Are these people really her family?!”
No they aren’t.
I just realized. If she really wanted to avoid the punishment, all she had to do was force her parents to fess up and say it was a “mistake”. Idk if people can really prove otherwise. But apparently she wanted more than just to avoid the punishment.
Eretria
Yep, her morals are extremely twisted. In her first life she had a few good years and many bad ones because of her parents crimes, but rather than blaming them she blamed the victims of their crime. The swap was found out by the grandfather in her first life, since he’s not alive now she most likely has something to do with his death. She put a lot of effort into building her relationships but definitely no sincerity.
We can’t tell how her life would have gone if she had pointed out her parents crime right away though I’m sure the Qins would have done right by her. But living a decent and honest life wasn’t enough for her. :/
Anazu Salted Fish
whao im hungry..
Anazu Salted Fish
I wanna smack this brat, can talk shit all he want but how dare you wish her to not return? She was abused and almost died
Eretria
Yeah that part keeps getting omitted. Well… the plots magic already made her pretty and lessened the scares but setting that aside it’s the difference between second hand knowledge and experience again. The little brother may have heard that this new sister suffered but he neither saw it nor has he seen her scars. What he saw was his big brother giving his old sister the cold shoulder and said sister wallowing in self pity which evidently is caused by the new sister showing up. So yeah we as readers know he’s playing justice warrior for the wrong girl but he can’t know (yet).
Musica Nota
Yeah, he’s just a kid so I doubt he was told and/or understands the full story
Anazu Salted Fish
I dont think he understand how terrible it is for woman to be a concubine. Later he still has to marry a wangfei. What love, only power is matter.
Kuroneko_chan
Can’t blame the self centered egotistical prince. He believes she loves him for him, not his position. I’m waiting to see when he finally realizes the truth. He is so stupid, it is hard not to feel sorry for him.
Eretria
Yeah given his hand in the assassination attempt on ML, the likelihood of his mother being behind the drowning incident of the 6th prince and hin openly discussing his fathers health issues to undermine him… they really are a match made in heaven ?
Kahlua Dragon
Even so…. His mother is a concubine and the position of primary consort has advantages I’m sure second prince slowly will realise a concubine won’t have the same political advantage as marrying for power
Sekstifire
Which is ridiculous considering his mom is an imperial consort. Like he probably grew up hearing a bajillion complaints about the empress.
Come to think of it it was pretty clever of Empress Wei and Qin Gue/Jiu to arrange things so that they’re here, Qin Xin is here, the Empress Dowager is here, but the emperor and the imperial consort are somewhere else.
Kuroneko_chan
Hate the second branch. They stole the title and only think about themselves. And the grandmother, so brainless.
Eretria
The grandmother didn’t see her reaction when she was first accused. So she’ll find it hard to believe that QX has always known that she was a fake and done her share to continue the ploy.
Anazu Salted Fish
The madam is dumb, she is favoured right now .. better to scheme than little trick like this
Anazu Salted Fish
Which is her actual name, Jiu or Gui?
Eretria
Very good question!
DARC
It might be gui, jui is how we’re supposed to pronounce it.
Anazu Salted Fish
Just a county, not even a commandery
Kuroneko_chan
So much fakeness in that room!
Kuroneko_chan
This little brother is a product of how much the second family truly “cares” about the first family. Bleh! They spoiled him rotten so he became a useless person. They probably wanted to do the same for the older brother but fortunately he is smarter than the younger brother.
Eretria
I don’t think he’s been spoiled to act this way ( he may be spoiled – haven’t seen enough of him yet ) his actions are really not that unnatural. The hostility comes from the information that his big sister is being taken away/ replaced. He grew up with QX as his caring big sister so there is an emotional bond. He’s much younger than QZN and there’s a huge difference between hearing something and realising/ experiencing it yourself. So whenever the switching circumstances were explained to him or not MC is a stranger to him and he has not had the chance to learn that QX actively wormed her way in. The big brother was suspicious of QX because she was already 4 when she came and confirmed his hunch when he confronted her head on. Even if he told his brother and grandma they’d have a hard time believing without seeing it. In grandma’s case she might even subconsciously blockout any doubts because the truth is to terrible for her to accept ( though I think we’re still a bit off from that ).
Kuroneko_chan
Part of it is bc he is still a young boy but if you compare him to his cousin of the same age – Su-shi’s son, you see how different they are. Su-shi’s son is studious and does well at the academy. He isn’t allowed to run around and he doesn’t have two pretty maids trying to seduce him or have a book boy who only encourages him to do bad things. The two maids and book boy were arranged by Su-shi. As for Qin Xin’s spoiling, she only aims to get him to like her, she had no thoughts to ensure he didn’t become a waste. As for the grandmother, she left it all to Su-shi.
Sekstifire
Dude, spoilers.
Kuroneko_chan
No spoilers, these were already mentioned in the previous chapters.
Shane Gate
What you mentioned will be revealed in Chapter 105…so yeah, spoilers

lol free stuff, he just want to see your reaction

Changning seems just minding her own business, i hope she dont get forced to marry that prince..
Kuroneko_chan
Will be interesting. Yun Jiaoniang is the girl who keeps stating how much she dislikes Qin Xin. Will need more popcorn! ??
Cee Cee
I got this feeling that she dislike Qin Xin because she likes the 2nd prince?
edit: I read the raw, forget that she likes the 2nd prince?
Kuroneko_chan
Oooo, is it hate due to pure jealousy?
sakura _iera
Actually, the son of the empress is Gu Wei or Gu Zhen?
There’s multiple of part is swapped with other’s name and the she become he. This makes me dizzy….
Cee Cee
agreee, I remember that they keep calling the household head Duan as emperor Duan, I think it should be Duke Duan,
Kahlua Dragon
I think it should be empresiwei of house YU ?
Sekstifire
Gu Zhen. The Empress’ surname is Wei though.
Personally I’ve been wondering whether MC is Qin Jiu or Qin Gui ?
sakura _iera
Yeah, some parts makes me confused.
But, that’s better than make me cliffhanger hahaha!
Really, thank you for your hard work! Can’t wait for the next part!
EllieKit
Thank you so much for jumping to this point! I do have a request though. Please stick to just one name for each character. The previous translator seemed to have a habit of giving half the characters two or more versions of their names, The sixth prince being one example with being Gu Zhen most of this time but with Gu Wei popping at least once per chapter he was in.
hoothoot
So he will destroy his main wife for his concubine then ?
Kuroneko_chan
The irony just hit. You took stuff from an aggregator site ? Glad you did, though. The og translator deserves the credit.
hoothoot
No wonder Shaina-G suddenly disappeared ?

Speechless
.

Speechless is speechless but does Matriarch Qin not see any of this?! I mean aren’t schemes most common in this household how can she act so damn innocent!! I mean really!! REALLY!!!
don’t get me wrong, Qin Sheng DESERVE THIS!! But just wondering if Matriarch Qin is just THIS gullible, ANYWAYS excited for the next chapter~~
XXI
She sees what is going on but chooses to look the other way so I don’t think she’s gullible but irresponsible not guiding her family well.
Mai C. Lee
Which is what makes me lose my respect for her. If it truly was only naiveness, then I can kind of forgive her. But the fact that she sees it happening and chooses to look the other doesn’t make me sympathetic to her at all. I won’t go as far to say that she deserves what happened/will happen to her, but I will say that she dug her own grave.
Eretria
Yeah I can accept that she simply wouldn’t want to think ill of Xin but she would have to be blind to not see what her daughter-in-law pulled there. Looks like she only cares for her fake granddaughter, Jiu and the girls from the second branch don’t matter.
testing app
If it’s Qin Sheng, then I don’t give a dime what happen to her. She was the one who chose the Cheng guy for Qin Jiu. But, the marriage is going to go to Qin Wan. I don’t exactly remember her but, Qin Wan had nothing to do with the scheming. As for Matriarch Qin, I honestly think she is that gullible. She’s the type of person who will help the bad guy count the money after being sold.
Eretria
Yeah here I was feeling sorry for the 4th Miss but it turns out she helped pick him just to throw the 5th Miss under the wagon. The father is only concerned about what it will look like too, not whenever his second daughter deserves suffering instead.
Sekstifire
Don’t think if this would be true of like, real people with brains, but my theory is that seeing through schemes from people who are obviously hostile towards you (like your husband’s concubines) is a different skill set from seeing through schemes from people who have to listen and suck up to you (like your grandkids). They wore themselves out doing the former matriarch and now that they’re living that sweet, sweet, dead husband alive sons life they don’t have the energy or the inclination to learn how to do the latter.
Pretty Is The Kitty At Play
In real life, it is fairly common for family members of abusive people to not see the abusive acts. “It’s just the way the family is”, “they care but don’t show it well”, lots of minimizations and justifications, and people fall into the pattern of what they are used to seeing matching what they want to see. Also, Mdm. Qin is written as someone easily influenced and from personal experience, when you’re in the habit of letting someone influence you, it can be devistatingly difficult to believe that person is doing so maliciously. It can be so painful that you’d rather drink poison than face it.
Kuroneko_chan
Instant karma!

awh… how sweet, makes me wonder what will happen to the emperor and empress
now that Qin Jiu is here with her butterfly effect since in the original novel these two died…
Kuroneko_chan
Well, they were both supposed to have died already. So that is one big change.
Eretria
I’m more interested in the Duan households matters. The 6th prince survived and the emperor stopped taking poison. According to the novel Zezhi killed his father but I always thought that was fake, since the novel paints Xin as and angel. Duan Ye is awfully biased towards his other son though… and there’s the matter of that Duan crown prince planting people in the forbidden army…
Nine Kornchid
Is it possible that in the original novel, Zezhi’s mother was killed by his father? It looks like the mother and Zezhi are close, so he might have took revenge or something.
En GARDE
I think it was a translation mishap and he didnt kill his father, he killed Duke duan which could be his half brother at that point in time.
Ns7
My guess is that his brother that failed to assassinate him plotted to kill the father and painted his brother (zezhi) as mastermind to put him as a criminal

Su shi is such a bish. She blames Qin Jiu for what she herself caused. Bleh, can’t wait to see her crash and burn.

Right, it made me laugh at her seeing her blame someone else for her evil intentions. She keeps setting herself for problems too.
Kuroneko_chan
She is just not very smart, so her schemes fall short.
Eretria
Why of course, if it wasn’t for Qin Jiu they wouldn’t get themselves into trouble because there would be no Jiu to scheme against. Clearly it’s all Qin Jius fault. 🙂

lol as if Qin Jiu is going to listen to their so called rules.

Their first reunion after their engagement decree was cute ?

This wang ye and matriarch qin may be of the same blood, we should check… No way hes that naive to think the heir wont be after his legitimate son right…
Meihua88
Reminds me of my dad’s partiality towards my younger sister. She was spoiled rotten and misbehaved badly. We were like fire and water, always at each other’s throats. Fortunately, she realized the issue after becoming a mother herself, so now we’re very close. When I moved from Hawaii to Texas, she followed with her family and her husband even teased that we see each other often, but still message each other every day.
kyotot
that’s really good to hear, at least you have each other’s back now ??
Meihua88
Yes, we do everything together now. We even go on trips as a family. Luckily our husbands and all of our kids get along. Fun fact: our husbands share the same first name lol…although we sound very alike, so people can’t tell the difference, our husbands know our voice, so they can distinguish when we’re calling them.

but before i go to sleep just want to curse at wangye!!!! the audacity to choose a concubine for Zezhi!!!ashf;algfhoasdighfsdafh!!! really can’t wait to the day he open his eyes to reality!!!!!___*( ???)/#____
Kuroneko_chan
He is so stupid, I’m sure it is all the concubine’s influence. He is so blinded that even if the truth was in front of him, eg the older brother holding a sword stabbing the ML, the father would still be like, no, he isn’t stabbing him to death with a sword. But I see. Their plan, stuff a concubine who is probably one of the concubine’s people to mess up ML’s backyard while giving them an inside person. The father is stupid to not be able to see through this.
Spyspicesspies
Lol?
Kuroneko_chan
Hmm, did his mom get poisoned by his father’s concubine???
Kahlua Dragon
Probably the heir
Sam
+1 it feels a bit too coincidental – may have been poisoned with something when she was younger, and it was never fully tended to cause the Wang Ye is a delusional idiot, so it’s become a lingering illness.
XXI
Gu Zezhi will have the last laugh in the end & the father will only be able to regret. I know she can’t do much but I do love how GZ’s mom stands up for him in front of his father.
XXI
“There was only one Qin Jiu in this world. He’s not willing to let some boring person hang around him.” ? I know he won’t disappoint us. It’s laughable to see his father so out of his mind to suggest having his first child come from a concubine when he personally knows about the heir struggles. But I guess he wants GZ to have his family drama so he won’t even think about fighting for the heir rights.
As for GZ’s mom, her coughing is probably something more serious & a scheme against her so I hope that GZ is able to get her treatment in time & find out who is behind it
though I doubt the father will even care.EllieKit
I’m hoping that the Wang Fei finds Qin Jui charming and is a great mother-in-law for her.
EllieKit
You know, I never got why mothers in CN who had themselves suffered because their husbands favoured concubines would want their own sons to have concubines themselves. I’m so glad Zezhi’s mother is smarter than that and is using her own life experiences to try to make things better for her son and future daughter-in-law.
Eretria
They want more grandkids. But yes thumbs up for Wang Fei!
aelin
It’s a very smooth process by which patriarchal systems instils in repressed women a kind of internalized misogyny which they take out on other women in similar situations like them when they were suffering. You would find the Mother-in-law & Daughter-in-law animosity dynamics around the world feeding into this toxicity. Saying like the DIL would need to compromise coz the MIL herself was a DIL once. So the vicious cycle of abuse continues
Sekstifire
Basically they’re worried that if their son might forget about them if his relationship with his wife is too good*. Adding a concubine or three diminishes his wife’s influence and makes it easier to be the main woman her son listens to.
* Sorta understandable because their quality of life depends a lot on how attentive their son(s) are to them. Good example in this chapter: Gu Zezhi is probably the ONLY member of the household who notices/cares when Duan Wang Fei gets sick AND has enough power to make sure she gets good medical care.

Is your profile picture from Baby & Me? I love that manga (though I never watched the anime)!
kyotot
This chapter is making my pressure skyrocket!!!
Kuroneko_chan
So frustrating!! Every time he starts his words with “I’m not being partial” Just by saying this he already admits what he will be saying is already being biased towards his oldest son!!!! How can someone so stupid be the master!!!!?!? As for respect thr elder brother, yh no. No way am I listening to someone who is trying to kill me.
kyotot
I beg to disagree, respect begets respect wang ye!!! Whether you are old or young!!! Augh I hate this old idealistic and this antic belief that ruined relationships??
kyotot
BTW, i can only post two chapters today?.. I wasn’t able to translate the remaining chapters bec. of our internet!! augh!!! this internet outages is just like wangye!! they suck!!! anyways i’ll be sure to be back next week with more chapters~ for now please enjoy this??
Kuroneko_chan
No worries!! Any update is always good ??
XXI
Don’t worry about it. We understand you have a life outside of translating & are happy with whatever & whenever you post them.
smatha
Thank you for your hardwork. ?

Sure, keep telling yourself that, Wang Ye. Is this when he’s going to bring up the nonsense about the concubine? ?
Xiao Yu
We should just skip it. He is so full of nonsense…
It’s fine. Thanks for the chapter!!!!
Anazu Salted Fish
Such a cruel era, it makes sense in her situation. Just her opponent is QJ
Mai C. Lee
I realized reading this through again that a lot of the villains would’ve survived if they just left our FL & ML alone.
Eretria
Well that’s the case in most novels. ^^
I really appreciate how logical things flow in this one though, all the characters have understandable ( even if bad ) reasons for their actions or feelings.
Anazu Salted Fish
Happy too soon, she should get away from that place so nothing can get wrong until its done. tsk tsk
kyotot
Go Zezhi!! It’s better you separate the family now than later, let that stup!d wangye see that his title that he is so proud of is nothing to you, you can even achieve more than he does!!!!!
ah ~~~ this makes me feel better LOL(@^0^@)/
Kuroneko_chan
Yes!! Separate the family now!!! Show them all how he doesn’t give a sh*t about inheriting wangye’s title!!! I got so mad when his father actually thought Qin Jiu shouldn’t be able to raise her head in front of her sister in law!! ? And it sounds like most of the gifts actually belong to our doting ML!! Slap that POS father and son and concubine’w faces!!!
kyotot
once again this humble translator wanted to apologize, as I wasn’t able to upload the chapter last week..
our f*cking internet gave up on me!!! so i had to wait for a technician to fix the problem which happened the next day!! hah!! anyways hope you enjoy today’s chapter

I did.

XXI
He thinks Gu Zezhi will be harmed by the marriage yet he doesn’t want him to marry into a powerful family as it would harm his heir. & let’s not forget how he’s the one who is wronging GZ by not giving him the proper title as the heir ? Hopefully, he does decide to separate the family so GZ can be free of him & make him regret choosing the concubine born son.
Sike_bi0tch
Don’t worry,GZ’s mom got so angry with this idiot that she directly divorced him! And you have to take into account how it is the ancient times and divorce,especially by women was considered a taboo! But she did it anyway and it was personally approved by the emperor. I really liked the mother, she was weak for her son but for her son and daughter-in-laws happy life, she could be strong too!

Thank you for the updates!
Yelu Luan, you have only your foolish self to blame for making that bet & thinking it would be let go.

Thank you for the chapter and your hard work! ????
Ahhh… there’s always something missing when someone transmigrated into a story, after all.
All these npc and passerbys a b c, they all have their own story and history, it’s just not the main protagonist’s business; thus even the transmigrated MC won’t know…
Sekstifire
Personally I’m a fan of settings where the protagonist is neither reborn nor transmigrated but maybe finds a book or something that tells them something about the original plot. Let’s the character be a full part of the world while still allowing for diverging timelines.
EllieKit
I had forgotten who Yu Fuyun was until the bet was mentioned.

ah!!! one of the most satisfying moment!! thanks Gu Zezhi for letting my Yu Fuyun ? see this historical moment~~

for my dear readers~ i will cut the release to 3 to 4 chapters a week, as I need to deal with something on the real world?.. and I also need to finish my TMSC..

Whatever works best for you, we’re fine with since we still get updates. Thank you & good luck!

Transmigrated as Mary Sue Character, I am also translating this novel in this site and we are nearing it’s ending but I haven’t posted any chapter yet?

finally the exciting and kyah kyah part???
XXI
Yelu Luan really thought that no one beside GZ & Yu Fuyun were going to see him apologize? lol & he’s lucky that apologizing is all they’re asking of him, for now.
XXI
It’s easy to see how Gu Zezhi got Yu Fuyun on his side in the novel that Qin Jiu knows. Anyways, I’m looking forward to seeing them go propose marriage to the Qin family!
Xiao Yu
Thanks for the chapter!!!
Sabrina IX
Yasss~
Thanks for the chapter ??
Kuroneko_chan
I’m excited for the proposal. Also looking forward to how Su-shi will try to sabotage everything. She isn’t resigned and still want to stomp down Qin Jui, and let’s not forget the bish fake sister. Draaaama, babi!!
Spyspicesspies
Babi? Pig? ?
kyotot
yaho~ some changes on the name– I only realized this later and had to criticized myself XD
Matriarch Qin is Old Madam
Madam Cheng is Mother Cheng
??
kyotot
anyways–
Ha!!? Old Madam Qin just realize that was what Madam Su was trying to do??!!
blinded i tell you–or she’s just getting old…?
Eretria
Uh-hu one would think the old madam lived an extremely sheltered life if she takes that long to notice something off. It’s not the first time she lamented about Jiu almost getting wronged and last time she quickly went back to thinking the manor would be better off if she hadn’t returned…
Kahlua Dragon
Old Lady sounds like the typical “gentle and shy” little FL who grows up to be an indecisive senior citizen
kyotot
Ohhh,, I may change my opinion of you Old Madam Qin!! Go go go!!!! But wait she really was that naïve thinking Madam Su was genuine with her concerns about Qin Jiu
Kuroneko_chan
Reaping what they sowed. ??
Kuroneko_chan
Hmm, what is the significance of that jade?
Elle
It was gifted to her by GZ!!!
Xiao Yu
Thanks for the chapter!!!
XXI
It’s funny that Madam Su thought that she could easily get rid of Madam Cheng & is now having to deal with her behavior.
XXI
Well, it was long overdue but good thing Old Madam Qin took back that authority from Madam Su. Now, we can finally move on to Qin Jiu meeting her mother in law!
XXI
It’s nice to see them getting along & talking about Gu Zezhi as a child.
Thank you for the updates!
EllieKit
I’ve forgotten how old Zezhi is. I know he’s a few years older than Jiu’er but can’t remember exactly.
Kuroneko_chan
I think she is 14 bc she hasn’t had her hair pinning ceremony and I think he is either 17 or 18???
Andressa Capelari
I think he’s actually 19, they said in previous chapter that when he entered the capital he was almost 20.
Kahlua Dragon
A 6year age gap. Like a college student getting engaged to a middle school student. I guess pre modern er women were forced to mature mentally very early
Emmanuelle Mestres
It does feel strange for us but I read that engagements usually lasted at least a year or two. And usually they were only engaged after the hairpin ceremony so they would be married around 17-18 years old.
Xiao Yu
Thanks for the chapter!!!
Xiao Yu
Thanks for the chapter!!!!

time to help your mother-in-law Qin Jiu!! my bet she’s poisoned!!
disclaimer guys, i read as i translate so i really don’t know what’s gonna happened, I also wanted to do it this way to keep my excitement the same as you guys and it makes me motivated to translate since if I don’t translate I don’t have anything to read too, and lastly it’s convenient with my current lifestyle?
so hand in hand let’s feel the emotions at the same time XD??
Hetbasile CF
Thank you for updating! I also thought mil might have been poisoned !
Kuroneko_chan
I already said I think she was poisoned and I’ll say it again! And I’m betting the culprit is the concubine who gave birth to the heir AND I’ll bet the trash Duan wangye will not believe it and make dumba$$ excuses.
kyotot
Tell me about it!
Kuroneko_chan
Hmmm, so not poisoned? But the prescriptions are for doing the opposite???
Eretria
Well to much medicine is toxic too…
Sike_bi0tch
Traditional Chinese herbs were mostly unprocessed and in their original forms, like ginseng. So they could contain a bit original poison but they are mostly healthy.. Healthier than the current medicine. If the ancients could’ve found the way to mix traditional and western medicines properly then probably we wouldn’t have to be so cautious nowadays
En GARDE
Dont those fmcs who transmigrate to xianxia world use both together? Just ask them!
Sekstifire
She just has dumbass husband-itis
Donut
Good one ?
EllieKit
Pretty sure it’s going to turn out that Zezhi killing his parents in the book was him being framed by his older brother. The older brother probably got tired of waiting to inherit the title, so killed had his father and the wang fei killed. Then to make sure no one suspected him, he pinned it on Zezhi which had the added benefit of making Zezhi a criminal and incapable of challenging him for the title.
Eretria
Yes! The book glossed over Qin Xins crimes and with the Duan heir working with Gu Jing things can’t be as the book described.
Kahlua Dragon
This is my guess too?
Xiao Yu
Thanks for the chapter!!!!

So is the martial arts master name Wu or Yue? He was Wu in the previous chapter and Yue in this one, lol.

his name is Yue, Wu is for martial art or military, so it should master martial art, something like that…?(wu)??(shifu) is the raw which translate to martial art master?

Mai C. Lee
I’ve read through this before with the MTL, which was decent, soit makes my blood boil thinking about the things this bïtch did to the grandparents .
Eretria
Oh yeah she must have done something to remain there till now if in her first life they were switched back when they were still kids… Yieks
Mai C. Lee
To answer QX’s question about 10+ years of being siblings vs blood relationships, I’m pretty sure that QZN would’ve forgiven her or would not have been this adamant about kicking her out if he hadn’t found out that she had known about the switch.
Eretria
Yeah the grandma’s viewpoint is the one you want for the switched girl in a switched at birth novel. A rich family can raise two kids, no need to punish the kids for the parents crime… but QX didn’t use her second life to improve her own life, she’s using it to steal QGs life, basically continuing her parents crime.
Mai C. Lee
Honestly, rereading this again and I can’t get over the audacity of this bîtch to call everything “hers” like this was her real place. As if she hadn’t ruined QG’s life by knowingly taking up her place.
Eretria
Mhh I like reading these switched at birth novels but if there’s a transmigration case added like her I always wonder how the original novel justified the female leads shabby character xD
Kahlua Dragon
At that point we’re assuming she really was ill treated. But her second chance is just plot device
Lazyartist
Asin bro
Mai C. Lee
I just realized something. QX being adopted by the second branch is oddly fitting because both like to take over someone else’s rightful spot (her-QG and second branch-Marquis position).
Mai C. Lee
I’ve finished this story in MTL before but it’s been a while since I’ve read this, and I go through so many novels, but I’m pretty sureGJ gets sexually involved with this prince down the line. If not this prince then someone else he was plotting with. I’m pretty sure it’s this prince because I believe they celebrate their “successful plans” by drinking and end up drunkenly making out.
Mai C. Lee
Knowing what happens to her in the future, I honestly kind of pity her. Another case of a person thinking she’s so smart that others won’t be able to detect her scheming against them.
Mai C. Lee
Is GJ dumb? Why is he exposing in front of an outsider that the emperor is sick and potentially terminal?
Eretria
Uhm I don’t want to jinx it but that might be on purpose…
En GARDE
I would bet my house on it that its on purpose.
En GARDE
Yes hes dumb but no im sure his intention was this all along.
kyotot
sorry guys.. this one is unedited! got problems with our internet for the past 5 days, fortunately, I have stacked chapters?or else no release this week.. anyways see you tomorrow!!
Xiao Yu
It’s ok!
Chiqi
Thanks for the update ??????
Mai C. Lee
Like you aren’t one yourself. ?
Mai C. Lee
For a second I completely forgot that both FL and QX lived completely different pasts.
Mai C. Lee
She really thinks the tears would work on the two top women? Women who are/have been in control the harem? It’s times like this that makes laugh at her for thinking herself so smart.
Eretria
Nah the tears are for the second prince to stir his protective instincts.
Also 10 bucks say she knew it was him in the water when she jumped in.
Crisp
Nah you a scammer for that. We all know she knew and you still tryna take our money?
En GARDE
She probably copied og Qin gui. Also our mc came back by saving a drowning Prince too. There is a pattern lol
Sekstifire
The Empress Dowager is pretty dumb though.
DARC
Not dumber as the grandmother
Mai C. Lee
Lol emperor father is going to steal his son’s toy again
Eretria
Yeah, he never gave the first one back!
Mai C. Lee
The first thing to successfully scheme is to never underestimate your enemies. She doesn’t even know QJ and yet is somehow thinking that she was dumb enough to fall into the trap.
Mai C. Lee
Changning is really good at lying to herself. She just said that she didn’t hear the emperor mention the marriage so she has no motive. I’m just over here confused by her logic.
Eretria
Nah the emperor was against marrying any of his daughters to Beiyan – he’s been delaying the issue because he’s not fond of marrying anyone over since history showed the bride would suffer a lot. And let’s face it, as the winner of the war the loser should send a tribute (bride for any of the princes) rather than take a trophy (bride) from the winners. But during that hunting banquet the peace-marriage was brought up again and Yinglou instigated Changning by pointing out that of the three princesses she’s the likeliest candidate. So her argument still works.
Key
Wait longer than I read the chapter ?? Thanks for the translation~~
Mai C. Lee
GJ really thought it was enough to tell the problem to the emperor but not offer up a solution to the problem. And thought he would somehow become CP because of this
Xiao Yu
Thanks for the chapter!!
Hipployta
Welp he just won me over…yup
Hipployta
Ohhh is it a commitment to him?
Hipployta
Indeed it did mean that lol
Mai C. Lee
What is with all these people that think FL is so dumb that they can just scheme against her with no consequences?
Lay
Especially since the fl has proved the exact contrary at least two times now ? even more to Qin Xin, did she learn nothing from when Qin Gui/Jiu humiliated her at the 1st banquet(?) to when she exposed her “alliance” with the scammer priest and her messing with the money?? ?
Jumella
Hah, she believes she couldn’t decide on her own marriage since there’s their grandmother who is easily swayed… Anyway she’s underestimating her… (Ofc, I think she has a superiority complex since she’s reborn)
Hipployta
ML is a boss and Yu Fuyan is on his way to be his right hand man again
EllieKit
Didn’t take her long to figure it out.
Kuroneko_chan
Yup! Our girl is smart!!!
Hipployta
Welp there goes that Princess’ chance smh
Hipployta
Zezhi…is a good regent actually…how interesting that the novel viewpoints probably skip the shortcomings of the leads
Eretria
Mhh the novel is like a biography written from it’s FL point of view, glossing over any wrongs they may do painting the others as villains.
aelin
So true this isn’t an objective third point of view writing style. It’s a very subjective character driven second point of view style of writing. A lot of times you read the biasesof the character whose POV is being mentioned
En GARDE
Yup he instead of doing it himself like some glory chaser gave it to the capable person who dealt with this kind of thing before. Last two chapters really showed the difference between good leaders and ambitious ones

ahhh i can already see how doting Zezhi is?????

Kahlua Dragon
Yes, she does remember that a few chapters ago.
YazzyDream
Hm…
YazzyDream
Ahh a good aunt. ??
Shannon Lane
How is she smart? She couldn’t even figure out that she was smelling blood till it was too late.
Lay
Let’s be realistic here, if you have never smelled so much blood before it will take you a while to realize what you’re smelling. And she’s smart bc she still managed to stay alive in a situation where a person much stronger than her was threatening her and she didn’t act stupid like most ppl in that situation where they try to fight the guy that’s clearly stronger than them or didn’t yell (considering this is a novel, he would’ve killed her right then and there) and she did guess correctly how he knew where she was going, considering she was in a stressful situation, most would’ve started crying bc of fear or stress and wouldn’t have been able to think straight (I’m not saying it’s wrong but i think one should keep their cold blood in a situation like this do they can think straight and stay alive)
En GARDE
Also not forget that its partly due to nightmare. Well its actually that strong blood smell is what made the blood in the nightmare so distinct but in her case cuz of the nightmare she didnt realise it earlier
YazzyDream
Lmao. This ML acts more like a proud dog after getting a treat, than a domineering asshole. I appreciate it. ?

What in the fuck.

Golden Thigh, how could you!?
Lmao I can hear the outrage.
YazzyDream
This county princess is pretty brain dead.
YazzyDream
JFC, the emperor has no intention of ransoming a princess but I almost wish the county princess was. Well, not really. But a good scare would be good since she’s malicious enough to wish it on others. Even threatening the third princess with it. Tsk.
Eretria
I’m for sending Yingluo too. She’s talented in riding and archery and already so well informed of Beiyans culture, she’s the perfect fit! A match made in he
llaven as they say. ; )YazzyDream
Ugh. Have fun being used as a pistol ig.
YazzyDream
Lol. The empress’ “…” Conveyed so much. These little girls sure won’t stop jumping around.
YazzyDream
“It’s a pity, her desires were way too insatiable.”
Look who’s f*ing talking!
YazzyDream
LOL Even the emperor’s eunuch is vicious. Love it.

Character development. Now as long as the old madam doesn’t backtrack… again.

The truth is that Zezhi has really always known how he will please his wife. ?It pampers her too much, so much so that she is envious~~

Back to rereading this. I suddenlu found out the original translator deleted her site.
Good thing there’s such another one who picked this up.
I like this story. The Female MC is very realistic same with the ML.

It’s okay.. that way, we could differentiate it ???

There seems to be a few mistakes with this sentence:
‘And so, the eyes Changning and Luo Jie looked at Qin Qian in unison,
both of them with extremely complicated looked, and what they had in
common was that they were both hostile.’
Pretty sure the ‘Luo Jie’ is supposed to be YingLuo and the ‘Qin Qian’ is supposed to be Qin Jiu.

I agree, while it sounds like the younger sister ‘sacrificed herself’ for her sister’s love, there is a lot of things going on. First is the girls should be from well of family so the fiancé of the elder sister should be as well. While the younger sister is supporting true love, it’s more like she is getting her sister to marry a not so well off, might be a scammer hired or told about the elder sister’s dowry and possibly greedy scholar. And the younger sister on the other hand gets to marry a rich man, whom she might actually have had ideas about. Lot of things are happening in the name of love. Also the we never get to see if the sister are half sister (as in different mothers) or full blooded sisters…

If she stands in for her sister to help her, why the need to drug her?

GJ is really short sighted. I can’t help but notice again and again he is only focused on small gains and achieving credit, so he can become the crown prince. He never really thinks much about his actions other than what benefits it will bring him. Yet he still thinks he can become an the next emperor ?
me
Plus, even his credit is taken from his fiancee
En GARDE
Too bad it worked in the novel. Tho im not sure about that as we learned that Gu Zezhi killed his half brother and imprisoned Gu jing, i think they attempted a coup and were nearly failing but with Northern Ye they managed it. Thats why Gu Zezhi was a villain from their pov
Without empress around (she ded) and emperor being very sick basically only hurdle was Zezhi
Jumella
It only worked becoz Zhen and Empress died. Also thsi must’ve been a huge blow to the emperor, who loved them both. Also there’s that pill from Priest Yun Guang. There was no other choice than Gu Jing. We’ll yeah, becoz of all that, just like you said, the only hurdle became Gu Zezhi.

Everyone can see he is extremely partial to the concubine and her son except for him. He is just too stupid.
Katarzyna Kadej
I’d go further and I’ll write that he’s ret@rded. I wondered how someone can be so brainless. And I remembered his status. He’s emperor’s uncle. BROTHER of previous pathetically brainless emperor. If emperor was a moron beyond saving, how his own brother could get any smarter?
Bingo, we’ve got the answer.

kyotot
Finally!!!! Get that incense!!!
Kuroneko_chan
With those words, I am 100% certain it is the concubine’s scheme. She is probably the one to “whisper” in the dumbass wangye’s ears that the household accounts be given to her for managing since wangfei is so “overworked and stressed”.
Kuroneko_chan
Finally!!! I bet wangye is so shocked bc he knows the concubine arranged for the incense, even though they say it was a monk. Now I sit back to see how the dumbass will make excuses. Seriously, in that time period, it is so unfortunate to marry the wrong man, but then again, the women didn’t even have a choice.
Meihua88
He will make many self-serving excuses and in the end, nothing will come of it…I hope that’s not the case, but I’m quite certain…how despicable
Kuroneko_chan
Zezhi is very black bellied. I’m confident he will get revenge for his mother.
TheTanJar
Or at the very least get his father to leave his mother behind so she can have a happy life with her son and daughter-in-law in the Capitol.
Eretria
Yes please, Wangye is a shitty husband and let’s be frank without the emperor arranging Jiu to marry Zezhi he’d anger his wife to death before the poison would have a chance!
Xiao Yu
Thanks for the chapters!!!!
EllieKit
I’m just about ready to strangle this sh*t for brains Wangye. I want Zezhi to separate, and then crush the Duan Wang title into powder under his shoe.
kyotot
really!!! i don’t have words for how partial he is AND STUPID!! my blood is just boiling!!!
BOILING!!!!!
MelayStuff
I honestly can’t with the stupidity I would have to work very HARD to not outright call him stupid right then and there
Kuroneko_chan
He actually had the audacity to think it was a minor issue once he heard his concubine gave wangfei the incense. But before his concubine was involved, it was a big issue. Says so much.
EllieKit
Not his concubine, but his favourite son’s wife. And the mother of his surely most cherished grandson.
Kuroneko_chan
Oooo, you are right – had to reread. But I think the heir and his mother was also involved.
Sabrina IX
I have the impression that the heir’s mother didn’t exist anymore ? since the one who caused troubles is the heir’s wife
Am I wrong..? ?
P. B.
Heir’s mother is still around but laying low, the problem with the heir’s wife is that she was selected and married before Duan wangye gave up and settled on the firstborn shu son to be the heir, and as such is from an okay-ish family and has a somewhat petty personality. That’s why Duan Wangye always held off on Gu Zezhi’s wife til now; any half decent consort would have the background and temperment to suppress the future wangfei and could strengthen Gu Zezhi’s claim to the title (not that he cares for it at this point)
Chronos5884
Same, same! I’m about to blow my top. I can only chew on a handkerchief to release my anger!
Kuroneko_chan
The dumbass wangye met my expectations, even in front of the facts, he does not believe. I have to admire a guy for such unquestionable loyalty, even if it was mistakenly given. Spilt the family and have wangfei demand a divorce!!
Xiao Yu
Thanks for the chapter!!!!
EllieKit
Oh yes, what motive could the wife of the heir have to kill off her mother-in-law. Certainly not the fact that she would be given control over the household once the Wang Fei is gone.
Sabrina IX
Thanks for the chapters ??
me
Sounds suspiciously like scapegoating
Sekstifire
True but it also sounds really weird given that the original plot was supposed to be a romance novel with Gu Jing and Qin Xin as protagonists.
Like if Gu Jing was a real ML the author definitely wouldn’t let Gu Zezhi beat him so definitively.
MrsBad
Unless it is the obligatory "lose here so that you can grow even stronger and more awesome" plot point. But, it is a plot point that is more common in sports/martial stories. It could have also been a foil to show how much better the second prince is.
Sekstifire
I think the main issue is that Gu Jing being a figurehead emperor means cooperating/coexisting too much with Gu Zezhi.
Like a sports/martial arts MC is allowed to lose early on but they usually follow up by going somewhere the villain is not to lick their wounds or whatever.
Meanwhile the standards for MLs are hella strict: usually they ONLY lose because they were afflicted with a horrible curse/disease/poison/something else that can be cured by making out with the protagonist.

I was genuinely shocked

Holymoly, does that mean she got her grandpa killed when she was 4-6 years old in this life?
Eretria
Empress for best Aunt!
Eretria
My heart bleeds for the grandmother… because I read someone’s spoiler to confirm my suspicions ;A;
Sata
What happened pls spoil???
Eretria
En GARDE
I already knew she did something like that. She herself gave it away by saying that mc is late a few years. Thats because she regressed and changed afew things. As what they are
1 grandpa dying
2 seducing 2nd prince who is also black hearted so he will be going down too.
Eretria
Uhh the every changing names of people and mixed up pronouns is one thing but… the grandma calling her granddaughter sister really disturbs the flow.
En GARDE
Imagine sending a country bumpkin to a gathering where people will look down on her and when she retaliates you accuse her… This grandma should retire before she fucks up any bigger
Eretria
What innocent self?
Eretria
Same as before, QX uses her second life information to raise her position no matter the collaterals while QJ improves the life’s around hers to improve her own. I really like this contrast. QX is too narcissistic though, projecting her own jealousy onto others.
Eretria
Yieks. I figured she’d been drugging and poisoning people but things just got a whole lot darker.
And again QX choose to use it rather than expose it.
Eretria
Did she put the emperor’s medicine in the tea or what o-o
Eretria
Not happening bro
Eretria
Time to beat the little boy into shape. Glad she’s not writing him off.
Eretria
Mh they report him being punished but not
him staying out all night… looks like his servants are just like the batch they gave to MC.
Eretria
Yup I really like how well these characters are portrayed. Having never been beaten and only hearing about MC being abused before she came he couldn’t relate to her at all. Looking forward to his development.
Eretria
Oh guess the little brother will learn of his fake sisters true colours faster than expected.
Eretria
He’s gonna throw him in a sack and let her beat him up? XD
Eretria
I dunno what it means but he’s honestly the best husband candidate for her. Given the time and rules of their society there’s not much a girl can hope for and here’s a guy who’ll help her beat up her enemies.
Meow
A fair amount of months late but here’s the gist of it
The duke is the king’s uncle, so ML is his cousin (same generation of seniority)
Our FL is the cousin of his son, so it’s the generaton that’s after that (the generation of his sons and co), so if they marry he then she becomes the mistress of the house of his cousin, so in a way her treatment would become the same as if she was his cousin, which is weird for everyone involved
Eretria
Thanks xD but I was talking about the handkerchief. ( Du Rou will explain it to Qin Jiu a few chapters later. )
Meow
Ah, sorry for misunderstanding
Eretria
Yeah sorry grandma but you don’t know her character at all.
Lay
Will this be the well known “ml goes into the forest alone and his enemy fires an arrow at him but fl comes out of nowhere shields the ml and takes the arrow instead of him” moment??? ??
Eretria
Our FL is quite nice but not that selfless… and also not that physically adept so I guess not. Finding him injured and help him maybe but jumping into the arrow nah.
kyotot
oya oya, wangfei should really divorce that stupid husband of hers!!!
Kuroneko_chan
Yes! Still worried about the concubine, her son, and his wife, while his legit wife was basically poisoned by them. He basically indirectly told everyone who he loves. I feel so bad for Duan wangfei, everyone knows her husband doesn’t love her and her son.
Eretria
En, this can’t be called being blind anymore. The dowager can pinpoint the culprit without anyone pointing a finger but he refuses to believe it even when he’s told. He’d still find excuses if his heir were to stab Wangfei in front of his eyes.
Moya Rose
He should lose his title first. Just muffleheaded and biased.
Eretria
Uhh don’t you normally try that shit after you ditch the witnesses?
Sekstifire
That and I feel like normally you’d try to spook the horse instead.
Also I’ve been thinking this since the painting party but Qin Xin and Ying Luo keep mentioning that Qin Gui doesn’t have the skills other noble ladies have but they don’t really use that in their schemes?
Like it seems like they could just go, “Hey Qin Gui, let’s play some go/do some calligraphy/compose poems/play instruments,” instead of blackmailing someone to slander her or shooting her with a dang arrow.
Eretria
I mean isn’t being a (beloved) concubine still better than whatever her first life held in store for her?
Sekstifire
It’s also not completely insurmountable. Like the empress outranks the imperial consort now but in both the original timelines the imperial consort would have been the one who became the Empress Dowager.
Oh wait she successfully assassinated sixth prince in those timelines too. So yeah she’d unofficially be at the top of the harem by now.
Evelynn Lumn
No, the empress died short time after the six prince died.
so the place was vacant
Eretria
Shooting someone from behind = teaching them a lesson. Yeah sure.
As for what she can do… she can have you thrown in a sack and then beat you up. :>
Xiao Yu
Thanks for the chapter!!!!
Eretria
Neat. Since they already bagged the 10 thousand taels bribe and get more as reimbursement than what went missing they really make a killing. Also little brother has been enlightened for good.
Eretria
The madam doesn’t learn from her mistakes… her attempts at keeping the life deeds of the servants and the whole selling back the rude maid issue should have told her that sending more money wouldn’t make QG turn it down as she hoped.
Eretria
Another idiot blaming QXs faults on QG returning… like yeah we raised a monster in our family but we were much happier not knowing about it.
Also second prince + foreign prince seems like a super bad combination ( for the kingdom ).
Eretria
Yeahhh the emperor and empress will never let that marriage happen. o^O
Eretria
If accepting it means accepting his feelings does taking it on your own accord mean she told him to like her by taking it? ?
littlevixen
That’d be amazing.
Eretria
Everything else aside she is a very loyal friend… though I don’t think QX would repay that loyalty well.
Evelynn Lumn
she is clueless about how a of a bad person her dear friend is.
Eretria
Urgh, trying to use the public opinion to force MC into an unwanted marriage again.
Eretria
Our MC really hasn’t learned from the handkerchief incident.
Kahlua Dragon
We’ll, she’s still in “remembering the plot” mode. It’s also a trope that FL never thinks the main male lead will fall for her
Musica Nota
Selective density: the greatest indicator of a FL.
Eretria
Welp with this setup our girl might just become collateral in that assassination.
Sekstifire
Or one of the 20 other assassinations that are probably going to happen.
Eretria
Hm if they stay as a group the assassination might just hit the emperor instead o—-o’
Eretria
Is the bear the distraction? oô
Eretria
I love that brat. Blurred vision my ass!
Eretria
Mhh if the second prince knew that the bear distraction was caused with a drug from Yelus country he’s smarter than expected. Also is nobody gonna ask why that guard wanted to lead our girl away?
Mei_chan07
Maybe he thought that Jui is our prince’s girl.
Falling Mallows
The guard was working for Zezhi’s older brother so I’m guessing they want to kidnap her as leverage against Zezhi since he always made it obvious that he cares about her.
Eretria
She called him thigh to his face! XD
Eretria
Hope the Chengs were around for that too xD
Eretria
Sigh. I know our girl won’t let herself get wronged… and I can picture Changnings fate… but I still feel sorry for her.
kyotot
no salvation for wangye!!!
TheTanJar
I know right! He has all this evidence in front of him but he is worried the emperor with misunderstand the heirs consort. Like dude b*tch is trying to murder your wife why don’t you care at all?! Wangfei and the ML deserve better.
Eretria
I too would have wanted Yinglou to be the victim here, this third princess is way to weak and might die on the way to Beiyan :/ also much less fun…
Eretria
Mh her excuse isn’t half bad but the tampered cloths given to QJ by her servant can quickly blow her cover…
Sekstifire
Her excuse is way too thorough though. Like it’s based on her original plan and not what she would and wouldn’t know if she was actually innocent.
littlevixen
She should have said I don’t know why he was here!
littlevixen
She should have said I don’t know why he was here!
Eretria
Woah she’s good, I’m starting to like her a lot ( for an enemy role I mean ).
Musica Nota
She REALLY doesn’t want to be married to Prince Yu
Eretria
Mh I thought Concubines weren’t important since they ain’t the main wife so how can a concubine nag the empress? Oo
Icewek
Its probably a imperial concubine, since there can only be one empress rest of the woman in the harem that holds some value would be giving a title as concubines. They don’t hold much power when compared to empress ofcourse but they are still seen as “wives” of the emperor. In case of Qin Xin, she was made a nameless concubine, in other words someone who doesn’t have a title and basically considered as “There to bear a child and do nothing else.”
Kahlua Dragon
She’s the primary concubine of the Emperor’s uncle. There seems to be no direct translation of the Chinese meaning of primary concubine “. Wife in modern English has the connotation of singular spouse.
Fresh the First
How emperor's wives are addressed is usually based on the era. However, most eras in Chinese history refers to concubine (pin) as ranking third (if we count the empress as first in rank). Concubines are just equivalent of sidechicks since they don't have wedding ceremonies with emperor. The second title in rank changes through the eras, from furen (lit husband's person), guiren (lit adored person) to fei (consort). Chinese novels tend to follow the ranking huanghou-fei-pin, so this case most likely followed that too. In short, it should be consort Zhuang, not concubine Zhuang
Eretria
Grandma Qin still being duped.
Kahlua Dragon
At that age, you just want everyone ylive amicably
Sike_bi0tch
And that’s the reason I hate the elderlies sometimes.. You have already done the damage or let the damage happen, so how can you even think of sorting it out without even a sorry? Ntm, some people always criticise children who don’t show filial piety but have you elders ever done your own responsibilities? If you didn’t then how can you have the guts to ask for filial piety? Where do you get the face to ask for that?

Sekstifire

Eretria
Good, the 5th Miss wont be sacrificed this way. Though… with Madam Sus character she might deliberately choose a bad man for her next…
I don’t understand why women in historical novels always do their best at dragging down other women… as if women didn’t have it hard enough at that time.
En GARDE
Because its easier than stand against men? Then it becomes a culture and not questioned. There are women who still try to drag other women down…
Eretria
If he separates… can he take his mom with him? I feel bad for her having to live with a stupid husband and a step-son who wants to kill her son…
Xiao Yu

Kuroneko_chan
Yeesss!! The moment I have been waiting for!!!!
Eretria
Could women divorce in ancient china? Like can Wangfei divorce Wangye for letting his precious heir and daughter-in-law poison her? Zezhi wasn’t interested in wangyes crappy inheritance anyway… such a garbage husband should be divorceable
Donut
Technically they can, but it’s probably mostly common with the peasants. For the nobility, however, it will cause a huge scandal to occur and the divorcee/s wouldn’t really be able to live peacefully there after and their reputation and image would plummet among the noble folk. I’m not sure if what I said is true or not, but based on the many novels I read, I think this is the most likely case…
Chronos5884
It was hard to do and very difficult for the divorced woman as she’d have to go back to her maternal family and likely wouldn’t be able to marry a good family again.
After all, it was easier for a man to divorce his wife than the other way around.
Even if the man couldn’t get it up from beginning to end, the woman would still be looked at funny, but at least if he couldn’t get it up from beginning to end she’d still be “pure” and not “a broken shoe” so she’d still have a chance then.
But if the man was able to have kids then… yeah, it was usually real rough on the woman.
Xiao Yu
Well said!! Now he can just stay with his good family.
Thanks for the chapters!!!!
Dramacrazy Tan10

“Wangfei, think about Zezhi ah.” Duan Wangye could only pull his son, “If you and I get divorced, wouldn’t Zezhi be in an awkward position in the royal family! Zezhi, what do you think?”
Gu Zezhi smiled: “Unlikely.”
SAVAGE!!!!!
Aamu16
Wanye: Think about Zezhi’s position.
Zezhi, who is about to cut ties with him: Yeah, no, that’s not gonna fly.
Eretria
The savage one is Wangye who forced his son to give up his achievements for the bloody heir.
Kuroneko_chan
She probably WAS thinking of Zezhi. She realized as long as they are both in the picture, the heir, his wife, and his mother would continue to try and kill Zezhi bc they can’t be sure the heir will truly inherit the title and money. They don’t want to leave it to chance. Only the dumbass wangye can’t see that truth. This divorce and separating the family is the only way to protect Zezhi.
Kuroneko_chan
Duan wangye is so condescending to his own son and legit wife. He basically doesn’t take anything they say seriously. I’m so happy Duan wangfei wants a divorce.
Eretria
Yeah married for 40 years respecting each other my ass. He’s put her opinion on the back burner since their son was born.
Eretria
I think there’s something wrong here:
«Duan Wang Fei knew very well in heart: he never said that he never love Gu Zezhi but whenever the heir was involved, he would stand by him unreservedly.»
Is it implying that Wangye never said he loved Zezhi or that he did but priorities the heir?
Kuroneko_chan
He says he loves him and is equal in his love of both but reality is, his actions says otherwise, so as Diz Quzz mentioned, he is a hypocrite. Everything he does screams he doesn’t love Zezhi (or that he loves the heir MORE), but he is super loud in proclaiming that he does love Zezhi and everything he does is to benefit the “family”. Wangye is basically a POS father, a sperm donor rather than father to Zezhi. Best way to look at it is, if wangye was to save one son, he would save the heir. And then he would make some lame excuse as to why he saved the heir, an illegitimate son over his legit son. Not that I’m saying legit children have higher priority. I think there should be no preferential treatment of one’s children.
Diz Quzz
I think it the Wangye claiming that he loves his son since he’s his legitimate son but his actions speak otherwise. In simpler terms, he’s a hypocritical muddle-headed old man who deserves a beating but still will probably choose to see not the truth but what he believes to be the truth.
Eretria
If we’re talking 100 years without divorce we’re talking women divorcing their men, right? Otherwise I’m not buying it.
I looked it up since last chapter and while normally both sides would need to agree to a divorce, men could just throw out their wives. ( There’s like a list of reasons to do so but half of them are easy to claim or frame. )
EllieKit
You’d find that the men who wanted to get rid of their wives but didn’t divorce just sent them to a nunnery and then after a certain amount of time had past the wife would pass away from ‘illness’ and the man would remarry.
Eretria
That’s probably less effort for them but doesn’t make it any better.
Kuroneko_chan
Correct! And this is only available to rich women. The poor had to live with abusive husbands until they get beaten to death, literally. The system was designed for men.
Xiao Yu

Duan wangye has spoiled the concubine and neglected the wife, even if he doesn’t realize it.

I love Qin Jiu, she found a loop hole for Yun Jiao. And plaque change? Does this mean wang fei got her divorce and Zezhi got to separate from the main family?
Eretria
I hope so, not sure where the Xiao comes from though is it Wangfeis maiden name?
Kuroneko_chan
It’s Duan wangye’s last name. But as a wangye, he gets a title, so Zezhi would only be referred to as Xiao until he gets a title and only the heir gets to use Duan.
Eretria
Duan doesn’t sound good so that’s fine … little Zezhi ?
Kuroneko_chan
Oops, read the next chapter. Xiao isn’t Zezhi’s last name ?. But it is a last name.
Sekstifire
Yep!
Yenioluwa
Xiao is wangfei’s maiden surname
Gu is wangye and the Emperor’s clan name/surname
Duan is the title name
Kuroneko_chan
Oh, Duan wangye finally realizing wangfei isn’t just throwing a temper tantrum? Such a POS. What I dislike most about him is how condescending he is towards wangfei.

I’m thinking hanging the heir and his consort head first from the window will help with ventilation. 😛

I believe the “pot leak” clock they are talking about a water clock. It’s a pot of water that slowly pours out into another pot. When the lower pot is full a certain amount of time has passed. The time it tracks depends on the size of the pots.

Sure… the Beiyan Prince totally gives of the feeling of being amiable and peace-oriented.
Kuroneko_chan
Qin Xin seems to have not realized the future has already changed. In her previous life, Zezhi was not leading the negotiations, but in this life he is, which means the outcome will not be the same. Tsk tsk, I have a strong feeling Princess Yinglou will end up as collateral damage.
ShayBella
Does she know that? In her prior life she was already in a prison camp, and she hadn’t thought GZ being in the capital now is so weird…
Kuroneko_chan
Wasn’t Zezhi already dead by the time she was sent to the prison camp? I think Qin Xin is just stupid to not think it is weird. She can’t seem to think too deeply about things.
Eretria
I think Zezhi’s path in the first timeline should be similar to the book one. So he’d be hiding out somewhere recovering from the assassination attempt. He could already be framed for Wangye’s death but he wouldn’t be dead for quite a while since the whole beheading the heir and taking charge of Duan Wangfu is unrelated to the people in the capital.
Kuroneko_chan
Dumb men, thinking negotiations are easy. No wonder Beiyan went back on the peace treaty in Qin Xin’s last life! I am just waiting to watch the show!!!

sorry guys, am late again.. we had a blackout due to a calamity, signals (data), electricity and water are unavailable..

Glad it was ok. Terrible weather everywhere.

No worries take all the time you need, hope things run smoothly again.
kyotot
anyways… this Gu Jing is punching something unpunchable lol!!
brag all you want Gu Jing…
Kuroneko_chan
I can’t wait until Gu Zezhi crushes them all! I actually found this chapter so anger inducing. Does Gu Jing really think no one knows of his secret dealings with all these ppl?
Hetbasile CF
Thank you for taking your time to update despite whats going on everywhere.Happy holidays everybody ! 🙂

Gu Jing, if you keep pawing at things you shouldn’t, don’t be surprised when your hand gets chopped off.

“Among the ministers present many were cunning old foxies”
I think it should be foxes unless these old men are incredible cute. xD

Gu Jing, Gu Jing.. just what kind of trap are you walking through so freely!? ???
kyotot
i’m liking old madam Qin’s character development like this…
but i got this feeling that something will happen on Qin Jiu’s side (i hope something good) ..arghsahflahgfaksh, it’s making my heart beat erratic!!!!
Kuroneko_chan
She is too wishy washy for me. She is so easily swayed that she holds no true power.
kyotot
?
hit the mark!
MrsBad
Maybe it is her wishy washy trusting nature combined with dementia? I swear half of the old matriarchs I see in these stories must be in the beginning stages of dementia.
Kuroneko_chan
?
Eretria
I was/am hoping for her character to improve but… rather than improvement it feels like she’s painted as super naive, which just does fit with her position as matriarch. Like her husband ought to have had concubines aswell and if she was this naive all her life how did she make it this far?
kyotot
exactly, how the hell, she was able to survive on a family that’s full of schemes?!
Chronos5884
If she had strong protection of her mother and maternal family with a father who actually respected her mother and then found a husband who would also truly respect her the way the emperor respects the empress and if the concubines who came into the house were all chosen for their placid/timid temperaments with her family servants, husband, maternal family, and all there to back her, she could easily stay naive so long as she had people with strong characters to protect her (like her husband the grandpa who found the truth in the first life).
Sekstifire
I keep wondering about the family structure of the old Marquis too.
Because she might also have had to deal with drama from his parents and any siblings (particularly brothers because they stick around.)
I guess it’s possible that someone else took care of her? Maybe her mother-in-law handled the concubines for her or something.
EllieKit
When Gu Zezhi just sits back like that, you KNOW something’s coming to trip up the idiot facing him.
Xiao Yu
Thanks for the chapters!!!
Eretria
Soo what is yijue?
kyotot
it will be answered on the next chapter??
Spyspicesspies
Dont tell me… He is the emperorrrr???!!!
SilentReader
I don’t think so. She kept saying the emperor is muddle headed.
Spyspicesspies
Ey.. from the beginning till this end, he regards Qi Gui as an interesting person and only one Qu Gui in this world…. sounds naive but… Well yeah. It’s ML anyway, and only one FL in this story. Idk why, but I felt this level of liking is not deep enough, lol.
aelin
I’d say this is better. What kinda 20 year old is sane when they’re raving mad in love with a 14 year old. I think the slow burn kind of romance would be healthy in this situation
Spyspicesspies
Hem alright?
Musica Nota
I kinda find the ML refreshing because of this. He’s smart, but lackadaisical. He likes to be entertained, though he also has some skills. He’s not the puppy ML type or the brooding, edgelord type which has been done a million times.
Kahlua Dragon
This is the biggest drawback of this story. ML could have found FL interesting then gotten to know her well. At this point, he seems to see her as a novelty
kyotot
and here we are, wonder what this fifth master is?
Xiao Yu
Thanks for the chapter!!!
Kuroneko_chan
Sounds so sus!!! They did something to the horse! Su-shi’s nephew, definitely not a good person.
Sata
I read it as sushi nephew
aelin
He’s a puppet ruler in making that’s what he is
aelin
Is the grandmother really reasonable. She seems indecisive and mentally weak. Not suitable to be a former duchess ???
Musica Nota
She’s pretty weak willed and not particularly wise or intelligent
Bookwormie
She isn’t weak-willed…she just didn’t care for Qin Jiu and just wanted to throw her out immediately.
It’s like she’s acting like good Grandma but wanted to wash her hands immediately.
kyotot
chotto, chotto!!
i smell rotten fish here! really fishy!
this Su Xiyang really has a thick, very thick face ain’t he?!
anyways i love how Qin Zeyu comments everything to himself?
kyotot
“Make way! Make way! Boss Qin Jiu is on the way!!”
?? ?
Eretria
I like how she asked the things I was wondering about! Great way to explain things inside the story.
Eretria
Aww, Zeyu just view her beating you as practice so she can cut down the enemies when the time comes.?
Eretria
Why do I feel like these young masters just found a new way to play around? XD
Kuroneko_chan
Qin Jiu now has a “gang”! ? And I knew it! They messed with the horse, or actually saddle. Love Qin Jiu, she is not afraid to make things big. Go big or go home!!! ?

kyotot
wow, d@mn, this madam Su acted as if her nephew is already selected as the commander, halur!! it is clear that he will not be selected, he already flunk the first assessment, top 7!!?
she is acting as if Qin Zening owes his life to her nephew and acted high in mighty because she is the marquis’s wife! where in fact that position does not belong to their Su family!! augghhh!!!!
GO GO GO!!!!! boss Jiu, let them see whose the boss!!
Eretria
Well she’s assuming his selection to be a given because there’s background dealings… which of course doesn’t make her sense of righteousness any less ridiculous.
kyotot
Go go go Qin Jiu!!
ahhhh the look on their faces!!! take that Su Xiyang and Madam Su, lick my @ss!!! XDXDXD
bummer, it’s a cliffhanger!!????
Eretria
Ah it’s even better than I thought it would be, I’ll assume she pinpointed his sabres specifics before she even brought up going to court. I was wondering how they’d prove the tampering to be his work but he brought the weapon with him and the Stupid boy even went and confessed. Well I don’t think the magistrate is willing to go with the hanging suggested…. so break a leg? Literally I mean. A leg for a leg.
Kuroneko_chan
Can’t wait for Su-shi to get slapped in the face!!! Yes Qin Jiu, go big or go home!!!! Show everyone how despicable the Su family is!!!
Kuroneko_chan
Argh!!! No!!! Cliffhanger…
This is hilarious, no noble has ever used the public courts but here is Qin Jiu, “from the countryside, uncouth” exposing to all in the public courts. But you know, they really had no choice as they had no power and the issue would’ve been swept under the rug and big bro would’ve not gotten any justice. But yh, the Su nephew got 7th place!!! How the hell did they think if Qin Zening didn’t participate the position would go to Su Xiyang, there were 6 others who were better than him!!! Was he going to sabotage those 6 others as well??? The sense of entitlement is just so huge that it is shocking. And look at Su-shi trying to threaten Qin Jiu with Gu Zezhi. Good thing Qin Jiu feels firm in her understanding of the ML. OMG, the audacity of these people!!
Eretria
? err I mean Su-shi already missed the part of Duan Wangfei pushing for divorce so she’s clearly out of the loop but I’m guessing the 5 people between this Su-nephew and Zening are commoners and can be bullied aside in their mind.
Kuroneko_chan
Nah, they are all officials’ sons. That is why the magistrate has such a headache. Everyone involved are nobles.
Eretria
Hm? I don’t think the group of friends Zening was hanging out with equals the competitors for that general opening.
Xiao Yu
Thanks for the chapters!!!
Eretria
I need moooooreeeeee!!! ???
Our Boss is gonna wipe the floor with your arguments! I can practically feel the fun around the corner! I want to go! I want to join! I want to read the next chapter! ???
MelayStuff
Are we ignoring the merry band of young nobles happily marching their friend to the gallows? lololol
kyotot
marquis be like:
https://media2.giphy.com/media/5sVILL6P9xRIZKdYj5/giphy.gif
Eretria
Ha ha. I thought Uncle Zhun would be smarter than his wife but nope. The culprit already confessed and our girl will drag his ass in front of the emperor if necessary. I mean trying to turn the issue back into private affairs is natural in their position but pushing the blame on Zening? It’s like they are begging to be slapped.
kyotot
for the love of….no.. maybe its a good thing marquis came, i hope so!!
Eretria
I don’t think so… at least not for him. XD
kyotot
??
Kuroneko_chan
I’m guessing Qin Jiu will pretend to cringe as if her uncle will hit her. The way I look at it, even if they fail in getting their case judged, enough spicy gossip has been generated and every one of these ppl will spread this – how the siblings were suppressed by the 2nd uncle, unfair treatment, even beating them, this would blemish the uncle’s reputation and would eventually make it’s way to emperor and empress. They will ultimately fix the problem. The 2nd family keeps forgetting the 3 siblings’ aunt is the empress. I can’t wait to see if I am right!!
kyotot
when that time comes , let’s cheers to that ????
Kuroneko_chan
Exposed for all to see!! But that is exactly what the 2nd family has been doing. I hope they can separate the family, just like Zezhi did. Qin Jiu and her brothers are pretty much in the same situation, they lost their rightful birthright and are suppressed by the family so they can’t achieve anything or show up the family who stole their birthright.
Xiao Yu
Thanks for the chapter!!!
Sekstifire
? Why is Qin Zening acting like he’s the one who told the imperial family? The empress was the one who told him to investigate in the first place, he just confirmed what she already suspected.
Eretria
So? That’s still legwork he put in, but more importantly where do you see him claiming it was his idea? He was send to investigate. He confirmed the truth. He reported to his master. It’s a job well done I’d say.
It’s the second house who has pipe dreams of concealing the truth.
Sekstifire
His reaction when Second Uncle asked why he didn’t tell the Qin family first:
“If I had really done as Second Uncle had said, told him first after finding out the truth, it’s quite possible that Second Uncle might have used any means necessary to suppress the truth.”
Was as if he knew the truth first and could have decided whether or not to tell the royal family. When really the Empress told him and would most likely have been super pissed if he tried to lie to her about the results of his investigation.
That’s weird to me, not in a, “I think he’s lying or did the wrong thing way,” but in a, “why is this inconsistent with what happened previously way.”
Eretria
Ah I see, well I took his assumption as that they would try to suppress whatever could possibly found. He was send to investigate something related to his own family’s affairs after all. While the empress was quite sure of her theory it’s not like she’d know the details and going by the cover story they eventually made for Qin Xin they would have probably tried to “tweak” the details in the favour. Anyway sorry, thought you were accusing him ?
Sekstifire
Setting aside all the male lead female lead stuff…
The empress is Qin Jiu’s main support and she and the second prince are on completely opposite factions, especially after her son almost got murdered.
It would make no sense for her to arrange a marriage between Qin Jiu and second prince, and a lot of sense for her to want the marriage contract between him and Qin Xin to continue; the Qins aren’t super influential and she has serious dirt on Qin Xin.
En GARDE
Every smart person in qins already dead im afraid. So only the dumbest characters in the entire novel remains.
Sekstifire
It’s interesting because from what little I know about the Six ministry system the Ministry of Rites actually gives you a lot of interaction with the court?
Like it’s not as powerful as the Ministry of Revenue (household) or the ministry of personnel (officials) but you’re still putting on a bunch of ceremonies for powerful people AND running the imperial examination.
Whereas the ministry of works is actually pretty thankless because even though you’re doing incredibly important public works projects the nobles in the capital won’t see or care about most of them.
Fresh the First
I think it has something to do with Daqi recovering after the war, and the emperor pretty much appreciates the commoners and their hard work. Moreover, the fact about the ministry of works being neglected, as you said, come from actual history, while this is a fictional history.
Sekstifire
Oh are they actually going to do all the wedding procedures? Feel like 99% of weddings in web novels are rush jobs.
Sekstifire
“Still assuming, Duan Wangye found that the Jiuhe Incense Duan Wang Fei was using has poison in it. And following this lead, he discovered that it has something to do with his heir apparent…given this solid evidence, would Duan Wangye still believe the heir apparent?!”
This is a really weird line of reasoning. Like it assumes that Duan Wangye would get way smarter after Duan Wang Fei died.
Meow
It’s not that he got smarter, he just had to exercise his holy needs of finding someone to gaslight and blame, i his primary targets are dead and missing then he’ll just go to the next best thing
Chronos5884
Well, he currently believes his heir apparent is an honest good boi who can do no wrong. But if the people he normally blames are gone, then who else can he blame? Himself? Pfffft. Like hell he’d do that.
Since it’s naturally “not his fault,” what else can he do?
Katarzyna Kadej
Or to put it simply after getting rid off gu zezhi’s mother heir was impatient and didn’t want to wait for the title till the old duke will retire, took it himself earlier and made gz a scapegoat.
Sekstifire
I’ve been wondering, does Qin Jiu ever actually use that whip on her horse? I think at one point it even said the whip hard barbs at the end. Isn’t it just a weapon at that point ?
Eretria
No. Going by the little description given it should be a whip meant to be used as weapon or to intimidate with sound, not to hit your animal. There’s a wide variety of whips, since she’s tying it to her waist it should be something like a snakewhip.
kyotot
Qin Jiu you deserve a standing ovation!!!

Sata
His son attempted to murder the empress nephew ,his son cousin and the brother of his cousin in law ?
Eretria
I love it when Zeyu prays for Zezhi to stay “blind”. ?
kyotot
just where did he put his brain? tsk tsk tsk, where does their confidence come from? do they see the emperor as an idiot and easy to deceive?!
Ha!! serves him right!!!
Eretria
Well… that went well. Mr. Su do tell, if you never expected your son to get off scot-free in the first place… what were you hoping for? I mean setting aside that pushing the blame on Zening won’t work, how would getting him in trouble benefit you?
Was the public court not enough? You afraid your superiors won’t hear how badly you raised your son?
Kuroneko_chan
?? They will finally separate!!! Hurray!!! Qin Jiu is QUEEN!!!
Kuroneko_chan
They really all forgot those three siblings are the empress’ nephews and niece. The empress doesn’t see them as part of the Qin since the 2nd uncle became head of the Qin. The Qin became arrogant. They think the empress will still consider them her family if her sister had passed and the Qin gave the head of family to another son rather than her nephew? Their only connection to the empress was the siblings’ mother and the siblings.
Xiao Yu
If he doesn’t know that the Qin Family’s and the Qin siblings’s standing is different, well… is he stupid?
No matter what, did he really think the emperor would just hear his side of the history and make a decision? It only made things worse.
Thanks for the chapters!!!
EllieKit
I do not think this is going to go the way you want, idiot man.

but wait a minute, why do I feel there is something wrong with the late marquis’ sudden death? hmm…
Eretria
Well we already kinda knew the old Marquis was murdered before he could find his real granddaughter. And I guess he wouldn’t have his guard up against a four year old. Still it’s nice that it’s getting mentioned, maybe someone will connect the dots.
Kuroneko_chan
OMG!! You’re not saying…. oh wait, it was already alluded to in the earlier chapters when what’s her name had her POV.
Kuroneko_chan
Late Marquis’ death is sus AF!!! What a great development, again Qin Jiu is great in seeing an opportunity and grabbing it. Now Zezhi is heading over, can’t wait to see what he will do. Can’t wait for next week when the next chapter comes out!!! I swear Kyotot, if you do advance chapters, I would be all over it!

Since Gu Zezhi’s father is the Emperor’s uncle and since he asked the Emperor for arranging a suitable marriage for Gu Zezhi, the Emperor can’t just forego informing about Gu Zezhi’s marriage. So unfortunately, yeah, they have to wait until his father arrives to arrange their marriage
Fresh the First
Emperor's uncle? Isn't he emperor's brother?
Jumella
Gu Zezhi’s father isn’t his brother… He is his uncle, and as such Gu Zezhi is in the same generation as the Emperor aka Gu Zezhi is his cousin…

Qin Zhun is such trash. He actually is blaming his own wife. It isn’t like he is innocent.
P. B.
Wait, so did the uncle actually embezzle from the estate? It would be pretty easy to load a ship with goods, send it out to sea for “trade”, then declare it lost at seq after all. But then how did Gu Zezhi know about it?

kyotot
so I will change the Beiyan to Northern Yan, the literal translation. It’s because I always assumed that Beiyan is a human name!! especially if my mind is not functioning well.. so to clear confusion, will go with this.
kyotot
also… i was kinda hesitant but whatever!
so I saw a comment and it made me think if I should open my kofi??
I mean, our website admin was inviting me to open my patreon… they will set up everything, and edit the translation, all I need to do is translate and I will be paid, a fixed amount, whether I have patrons or not.. I like the conditions, who doesn’t like extra money ?ahaha, especially for someone like me who is leeches off from her parents but I am burdened by the fact that I need to produce chapters since this is a subscription, after all besides translating I have another job and am very lazy!! (please don’t come at me at this, my job is tiring haha)
So here comes kofi but then again, I am burdened by the fact that I need to produce chapter everytime someone donates aka buys the chapter… so I told myself why not limit it and make it expensive so they will think twice if it is really worth it or just wait for the chapters patiently… guys let’s be frugal, hehe…
Should I open my kofi?(^.<)
Chiqi
I’ve seen some translators use kofi as just a way to earn donations and not as selling chapter so I think that is something you may consider. Especially if you don’t want the pressure. You should definitely do it ? ? ?
kyotot
???? kofi is now open!!?
Kuroneko_chan
Agree with Chiqi, it doesn’t have to be for advance chapters. However, if you do it as donation, then amount can’t be high. So that’s the draw back.
Eretria
Zeyu still in a stupor? XD
This should have taught him that his brother-in-law is just as ruthless as his sister. ^^
Eretria
I feel like we had this topic before but… normally the loser would send a “hostage” not the winner. They’ve reneged on the previous peace treaties so sending someone to them is utter nonsense.
Katarzyna Kadej
Tell that to the idiot prince. He’s happily selling his own country for 600 horses and thinks that it’s a bargain…
Just bcs he thinks that he’ll sit on the throne with help of that prince – not seeing the flaw in his own arguments: let’s say that scenario he wishes to see will happen- then what?
If 2nd prince from Yan would take 3rd princess as his wife and they’d have a child, that kid has a right to both sit on yan and daqi throne. If gu jing would sit on the throne as next emperor and have an “accident”, wouldn’t north yan march in the daqi territory with self-righteous words that their young prince with 3rd princess as mother has blood of daqi’s imperial family in his veins so he has the right to sit on the throne? Legal and righteous claiming the right to the throne and daqi country’s annexation in one fell swoop.
Xiao Yu
Thanks for the chapter!!!

She’s Qin Zhun and Madam Su’s daughter, the one who set a trap on having Qin Jiu marry a trashy, egoistic, and lewd scholar… but was hit with her own trap instead?… i think ?

Bleh, the property belongs to Qin Jiu and her brothers, the servants do not. The uncle is so stupid.

Eretria
Oh my god… I get that Gu Jing is ambitious but bribing the losing side of the war to fake pseudo-positiv peace talk results? Doesn’t he get that in the unlikely case that he actually succeeds in inheriting the throne he would have already set himself up as Beiyan’s little b*tch?

Is “Beijing” a mistranslation? Should it be “Capital”. Beijing didn’t exist then.
And yh, another chapter!!! Thank you Kyotot and the kofi donor!!!
The younger brother’s inner thoughts are hilarious!
Eretria
You sure? I’m not well-versed on history but since Beiyan turned into Northern Yan and Beijing has been the capital since the Ming dynasty I think we’re at some fictional time after the Yuan dynasty collapsed but before Ming defeated Northern Yuan.
Edit/ nvm Beijing kinda translates to capital itself ?
kyotot
sorry my bad, i did not see that… to explain, yes Beijing and capital are the same.. and Beijing existed since the 15 century.. I translate that as capital since it was translated that way since the beginning and as I notice on C-dramas they usually use capital on subtitles?.. I’ll change it right now! for it to be uniform
Kuroneko_chan
Oh no! Very sus!

Thank you for the update.

smelling something fishy on empress Wei’s death on the first timeline.. hmm?
Kuroneko_chan
I suspect Princess Changning.
Katarzyna Kadej
This time yes, she was too “concerned”. In original story wouldn’t that be qin xin? 2nd prince got rid off 6th prince and she most likely used empress’s allergy to cover it up as an accident.
Eretria
Let’s check out the water pavilion, shall we?
kyotot
4/6????
Kuroneko_chan
This Princess Changning is such a deep schemer and good actress.
By the way, should “florist” be “gardener”?
kyotot
yes, i was actually in confuse if which should i use.. because for me gardener should be the appropriate one but the raw say’s florist… maybe i just read it wrong? I’ll double check..?
Eretria
Mh if Changning is just trying to garner pity because of Gu Jing‘s „peace talk“ then okay, you do you. If she’s messing with the empress health though… * sharpens knife *
Amaranth
It says courtside in a few places, I’m guessing that it should be curtsey?

o.o long long ago an emperor had taken pills made by using young girls blood. The concubines retaliate but they couldn’t kill the emperor and got beheaded themselves.
There are stories in China novel where the evil cultivators use children, young girls and fetus to make into medicines to make themselves stronger. Hopefully they are just myths created to scared of readers.

anyways i thought i already posted this haha.. it seems that it was just a dream. i was too sleepy!!
Evelynn Lumn
lol the idiot really dared to fuck around while the emperor was in town.
kyotot
Wait minute, so its really you Changning who made the empress sick!!! What the!!
Dolores Ashford
Oh man I did not pick up on that until I read your comment! Wtf! Changing needs to stop thinking so much seriously
Kuroneko_chan
Telling you, she is ruthless, which is why I don’t want a good ending for her. She is selfish.
Luna
Wait whaaat? I had understood she was “lucky it was Spring” as in, such a thing happened so she could profit from it. She is taking advantage from another’s misfortune yes, but what did you guys catch to think she was responsible for it? Oo
Nix Caido
I missed it the first time until I saw the comment and re-read it.
It’s this section added to info about how the Empress became sick that reveals that she was responsible:
Katarzyna Kadej
You guys are Sherlocks finding that part of the text, I skipped it a bit, that exaggerated play earlier was too much for me ?.
But wasn’t it obvious from the start that changning’s attention and actions were sus? Like she’s trying to cover up something?
Since empress was hurt and she’s trying to get brownie points by being “caring and helpful” to the point that it looks like a forced parody my first thought was that she’s the culprit. She’s the only princess who personally asked in front of emperor about empress’s health, right after empress got sick she miraculously found a book with a medical recipe that would help – very sus timing – like she was already prepared before, she made that medicine herself, brought it in front of the empress also by herself, clumsily “hid” her sacrificial wounds and all that d rated acting between master and servant later… I was like: how mc and empress can stand that prolonged exaggerated play?? I’d cringe.
Like she was holding a banner with “I’m super suspicious but I pretend to be innocent, look at me” text, but she thought that it’s not obvious enough so she wanted to add extra neon sign… smh ????
After she left empress’s palace she was like: “I did a great job, now empress won’t send me as that barbaric prince’s wife ????”
Empress: “I just found another reason to get rid off that clown” ?
Katarzyna Kadej
If she’d stop at “I was worried about empress mother’s health so I prepared a medicine” and then asked how empress feels, is she better now, then left so empress could rest – that would be believable, she was closer to empress than any other imperial princess except for that spicy one, so she could act like that.
But she put on quite a show and no one would believe that it was even a bit sincere. So why she worked so hard? She put on a ribbon with “I’m the culprit” before it even crossed anyone’s mind that it wasn’t an unlucky accident.
Sabrina IX
She's not that close to the empress.. the only princess raised by the empress is the 2nd princess, Xia An (if ain't wrong, that's her name or close to that).
This third princess is an unfavored concubine's child, and since her childhood always use her illness to have the emperor visit their courtyard. So yeah, she's been nurturing her scheming art from little age ?
kyotot
yeahhhh done with the kofis!!!
thanks again Lizzy Kirk??????
Evelynn Lumn
Her backing is the whole country now!
Evelynn Lumn
lol
Kuroneko_chan
Oh-my-gawd!!! This Changning princess, I just can’t. Who does she think she is fooling??? I think she should be the sacrificial marriage candidate after all. Hate how scheming she is.
EllieKit
As soon as I saw her calling attention to her wrist while being sneaky about it, I knew there had to be something fishy. I initially thought she was going to frame someone for abusing her. Then I was like ‘wait, I’ve read in another novel about a princess who cute off a piece of her flesh to make medicine for an Empress Dowager. it can’t be that sort of thing…right?’
Evelynn Lumn
Her Aunty is the empress!!! who dares to bully her ah?!!!
En GARDE
Thank god she just left this hause that is full of morons
Evelynn Lumn
Oh crap she just offered a new military technology to just help her baby cousin,

I had pity for this demon, give them a thousand cuts death! avenge the ladies honor!

and here’s another one who is not so clever, and assumes that they know what the emperor’s intention are tsk tsk tsk
Eretria
Kyotot~ you sure Yinglou’s mom is called Qin? ??
Bunnies in the Down
The ‘Qin’ is part of a royal title. The term Wangye is generally reserved for emperor’s brothers who did not manage to sit on the throne for whatever reason. The closest title in English would be Feudal King. Duan Wangye’s surname is Gu and Duan Wangfei’s actual surname is Xiao, for example.
Eretria
Thanks ?
Kuroneko_chan
They are going to crash and burn together. So sad.
kyotot
?
kyotot
and let the game begin,
wonder what Gu Jing’s face would be!!!LOL..and he was so confident that Gu Zezhi has busy keeping his parents from divorcing, were in fact he was busy making your face laughable ??????
Eretria
Who did he say would have no choice but to beg on his knees? ?
kyotot
and here lies Gu Jing’s brain thinks he was soooo brilliant but in fact very very stupid!!!
just how did he become the emperor in the first life!!? was it ALL Qin Xin’s effort?!!!
Kuroneko_chan
I think it is bc he killed everyone so he was the only one left.
Sata
But how was he able to kill them?
Chronos5884
Help from a regressor and plot armor that has long ago been butterflied away by our beloved mc.
I think he succeeded, and maybe the book wrote happily ever after, but I wonder where the story ended.
Did it end just after he got the throne? I’m truly curious how things went 10-15 years later, considering OG timeline it took 14 years before Northern Yan came back in to trample Daqi.
Sam
Wait, I thought in the original time line, before anyone regressed,QX was returned at age 8, and lived in exile with her real parents, while GJ became a puppet king under GZ
littlevixen
Yep then in the book she regressed killed everyone and became empress.
Sike_bi0tch
Yeah, but it was never said, what happened after the end, so probably Daqi was invaded by Northern Yan again after Gu Zezhi was killed and Gu Jing became emperor and Qin Xin became empress. I just want to see, what would be the faces of those people who were opposing GZ! ??
Chronos5884
Same… I’m quite curious to see how well things went in the end for them considering all the stupid things we’ve been seeing so far.
Katarzyna Kadej
I guess they lost. And it was not a nice view.
I read a qt novel and in one of the arcs there was “villainous” 1st prince usurping the throne and “righteous and loved by the people” 3rd prince.
In og story 3rd prince with the help of 2 generals and their army attacked the capital, killed the “tyrant” and took over the throne.
The end of the story? No, bcs not long after 2 generals betrayed new incompetent emperor, killed him, divided the country into two, and called themselves new emperors of 2 newly made countries, ending the previous dynasty, and history of the country they supposed to protect.
This may be only my theory but in this ch that yelu prince said that after he and 3rd princess will have kids, he’ll made one of their sons a crown prince, so prince having daqi imperial family’s blood will sit on north Yan’s throne.
But doesn’t that work both ways??
A child between prince yelu and 3rd princess has the right to sit on both daqi’s and yan’s throne, so I think that would be a righteous and legal way for prince yelu, at that time emperor, to attack and take over the daqi.
Chronos5884
Maybe, but I think round 1, the OGML hadn’t gotten castrated and therefore hadn’t mistreated OGFL so they ended up close still. However, I suspect that in the future timeline of that period, Yelu Luan’s people must have wreaked havoc on Daqi, ruined their warhorses, and caused trouble, while that exiled King would have been causing internal troubles and planning a takeover using the trouble caused by Yelu Luan’s people and the sudden lack of warhorses.
With Daqi’s military fucked, the only hero who could come in and rescue things would be the OGML’s uncle which would put him in a position of power. Then with OGML’s “big brains” he’d become a puppet of his Uncle and then think he’s the boss but the country would probably be effectively all in the hands of his uncle and suffering strongly from Yelu Luan’s troubles.
Eretria
Gu Jing: Does Prince Yelu have any other
requestsdemands for peace talks?Yelu Luan: This useless B*tch, didn’t I give him a List? Do I have to repeat myself?
Gu Jing: No, my Lord! This unworthy subject will devote himself to it, my Lord.

Who did he say would have no choice but to beg on his knees? ?

I’m guessing the horses they sent were all infected by some kind of horse plague or something.
Andrea Carrillo Martínez
Jaja I need my guy to be with his eyes glued xD
EllieKit
Only fools would accept animals from another nation without quarantining them. Gu Jing, is just that kind of fool. Good thing Gu Zezhi isn’t. You can bet he made sure those Turkic horses didn’t go anywhere near Daqi’s horses.
MrsBad
I knew something was going to be wrong with the horses. Like only giving them geldings or something.

it’s okay for you to do it but not Gu Zezhi!! augh ?

thanks again kuroneko_chan ??????
hope you guys enjoy the chapters!!
Kuroneko_chan
Thank you! It was great!
kyotot
and Gu Jing isn’t fit to be a king, his dumb, a fool, and not fit as a leader!!
he wants to bow down to Yan when they could get Yan to bow to them since they were the WINNERS!! but nope, he just accommodates them to the best of his abilities like a eunuch!!
Tsk!! Tsk!! at least the eunuch knows what’s good and what’s bad and gives appropriate advise!!
Eretria
Look Gu Jing even a six years old understands the situation better than you.
Jokes aside, did he not hear that the friendship horses his hubby send were infected? Yes peace would be the best but they don’t want peace and you can’t buy friendship.
kyotot
okay, i just notice ?, in previous chapters the three cities, I translated one of the cities as Mengta which was supposed to be Lunta…
it should be Lunta…
Kuroneko_chan
Seems like GuJing doesn’t know how to negotiate. War time peace treaties tend to benefit the winner, peace time treaties benefits all sides. So why did GuJing negotiate a treaty that benefitted only Northern Yan. And let’s ignore how Northern Yan had reneged on what little benefits they agreed to give Daqi! What is Gu Jing’s, or should I say Qin Xin’s plans?
EllieKit
If Gu Jing ever became Emperor, the Daqi Empire would be doomed.
I love lollipop
It make sense that the country was able to steady in the former plot was because he was a puppet ??
Which makes me think of how the empire became when no one stood in his way
ran7654
my favourite character in this novel are the *mob* momos especially cui momo
ran7654
momos are the best!
ran7654
momos are the best
Sike_bi0tch
It’s actually Mamas but dunno since when, the translator has been typing it as Momos ??
En GARDE
Why not just call them nanny or smth
Sike_bi0tch
True
Chronos5884
My only note on calling them nanny is that the word nanny implies to me (from my American point of view) that they have taken care of children or were involved in childcare. Of course, if you mean nanny as in like grandmother like in a lot of British Commonwealth nations, then I understand the word choice.
However, momo wouldn’t have any of those connotations to people who are American vs. British so it might be a more neutral term for a more international audience.
If I recall correctly, momo/mama (??/?? ) basically means elderly female servant. Which is different from a maid in the maiden sort of sense. The name has to do with the age of the servant itself rather than the position they hold.
If I recall correctly, the tasks, responsibilities, and/or jobs of momos could include sweeping, full-time gardening, full-time laundry work, and other hard-labor as well as other tasks like skincare, nutrition, child-rearing, etc.
But plenty of momos have nothing to do with childcare or even directly serving the masters of the family.
If I recall, there’s a different term for nursemaids who had to do with child-rearing, but they could also be referred to as momos/mamas.
Chronos5884
Was the original characters ??(mómo) or ?? (m?ma)?
EDIT: Found the raws. It’s ?? so momo is actually the correct translation, as it’s a different word entirely.
It means the same thing but mama is also quite literally the term for mom as well, and is what I call my mother.
ran7654
the incense must have some problem which caused the villains mother to have health problem
ran7654
momos are the best
ran7654
how can it be Qin wangfei? The Qin is the mc’s household. There is some error. Also in some earlier chapter which I can’t recall now, Yingluo household was definitely not Qin.
Eretria
Yes. I’m rereading to make a glossary ( and because it’s fun ) and Yinglou’s mother was called Royal Consort Tai before. Yinglou was introduced as Princess of the Royal House Tai too. The translator changed since then but given that Qin is MC’s family name I’d stick with Tai.
ran7654
ah, Yelu luan should have planned to make Qin Jiu his bed warmer on the right & Yinglou on the left.
Falling Mallows
But of course even if Yelu Luan planned that, he would fail without a doubt cause Qin Jiu (our FL) not to mention Gu Zezhi (our ML) will never let that happen. If it had been Qin Xin instead of Qin Jiu though, he might succeed as long as the benefit of letting Qin Xin go with Yelu Luan outweighs the disadvantage for Gu Jing (since he’s such a Yelu Luan SOB).
Chronos5884
Tbh, a little part of me suspects that if Qin Jiu was forced into a marriage with Yelu Luan, she wouldn’t let him have an easy time and would toss him to death if she could and she had to.
Plus her golden thigh, Empress Wei, the Emperor and her elder brother and his buddies wouldn’t easily allow such a thing.
If nothing else, I have blind faith that if he really made a move on her, she’d find a way to make his balls shrivel and his crotch rot off.
ran7654
If Gu Zezhi gets power which is more than the current Duan head, Gu Zhen when he grows up has a 75% chance of deposing Gu Zezhi.
Katarzyna Kadej
Gu Zhen having his uncle as a tutor has two purposes:
first: to teach and advise young prince (broaden his horizons so he won’t become another gu jing but a proper ruler)
second: emperor letting gu zezhi be 6th prince’s tutor you can say that he prepared a trap for gzh, now he’s a tutor, when prince will grow up a bit he’ll teach him how to fight, use weapons and so on, when prince will sit on the throne he’ll be one of his most trusted people, and I think that gzh knows that, well it’s not bad to have secured long-term job. It’s not a matter of gzh having power or not, he’s trustworthy, intelligent, wishes for the wellbeing of the country and the people.
kyotot
…..
speechless!!!
just how much did Gu Zezhi plan this all!!? not to mention he had all that drama in his family!!!
anyways Yelu deserves this!!! so much!!!
Eretria
He did it to resolve the family drama. He clearly told the emperor earlier to exchange these merits for his mother’s divorce. ?
Kuroneko_chan
Bwahahahaha! I still don’t understand what GuJing was thinking. They won the war, they should be negotiating ways that kept the peace and kept Yan state from attacking later on. Instead, he agreed to everything the Yan state wanted and what little he asked for Daqi, Yan state even purposefully reneged on. All this in his idea of keeping the peace. This was why in the past timeline, Yan state fought back after a few years. They were just buying time to recover their military strength. And how did YeLu get a hold of the compound bow blueprints? I’m guessing it was GuJing.
I love lollipop
It’s because he’s a greedy person and never sees the bigger picture.
Eretria
Ahaha… busted!
kyotot
???
Can’t help but laugh when i translate this..
they were fighting and scheming against each other just to make sure the other one will get married, welp the emperor gave the easiest answer!!
married them both XDXDXD!!!!
so now, another fight will surely start
who will be the legal wife and the concubine!!!
Chronos5884
It might be a equal wife position. Not common, but there have been cases of having 2 main wives aka equal wives.
Eretria
Hilarious. The emperor be like: You made good points on why the other one suits Yelu Luan more, so we’re giving both of you to him.
While it’s true that the common folk needs peace, Gu Jing must be incredible stupid if he really thought Beiyan would keep whatever peace treaty they sign.
Eretria
I’m not buying it. Yingluo didn’t get the idea to steal the blueprint on her own. So whenever the one given to Yelu was the the one she took or not, Gu Jing still set her up as his fallguy.
Kuroneko_chan
It was Qin Xin. Remember how they met and chatted and then the most recent chapter with her, she asked her maid to bring Qin Xin over.
Eretria
Why yes, who needs enemies when you have such a good friend.
kyotot
oho so this is where Gu Jing want to justify himself…
but is that enough to act like inferior?…
Eretria
I let a bear go crazy and attack your hunting party and gave our enemies the blueprint for our newest weapon but I only did it for our people!!
kyotot
?
Kuroneko_chan
No need for enemies with such a “patriotic” prince.
Chronos5884
You know what they say about pig teammates. Theres a reason people prefer to have competent enemies over incompetent allies.
Kuroneko_chan
If everything Gu Jing did was for the country, he wouldn’t have had to be so sneaky. He wouldn’t have had to involve the selfish bish princess YingLuo to steal the blueprint after promising she would not be sent as the bride. He wouldn’t have had to do basically everything he did. I believe everything he did was per Qin Xin’s directions. She thinks she has a cheat bc she rebirthed but I believe she had already died before Northern Yan reneged on the peace treaty and went to war again.
Sabrina IX
Thanks for the chapters ??
EllieKit
He really is a blind idiot. The moment Dayan got the design for the compound bow, they would mass-produce it. Within a year or 2, they would sweep through and use that exact same bow to massacre as close to the Daqi capital as they could.

Hipployta
Welp now Changning and Yinglou both with suffer for no reason while Gu Jing got away
Katarzyna Kadej
No, he will suffer, he just doesn’t know about it (yet). And one thing that those two dumb princesses fell for gj’s and qx’s tricks; other thing is that emperor wouldn’t tolerate a daughter that poisoned his own wife and another traitor who gave an extremely important weapon blueprint to enemy’s country. And he won’t tolerate a son who sold his own country for the delusion of being the next ruler. None of them wondered about consequences of their actions when they did what they did.

Xinjiang is a real place, so considering that Dayan borders it, I think that Dayan might be situated where modern day Kazakhstan is. Or the Dayan people are actually the Uyghur people, who are a minority within Xinjiang today.
Kuroneko_chan
I think so, too. The blue eyes makes me think so.
sarah Miles
China loves to stick it the Uyghur people even in novels. Gotta hand it to them
Aoi Sora
I think historically they always have problems with their northern territories. Perhaps they are the kazakhs, uyghurs, or even mongols.
Whenever they mention nomadic tribes in the north, I always assume they’re either central asian or mongol. However, whether it’s a nomadic tribe or centralized government their biggest resource is always the horses.

Eretria
I like Changning as a character. She’s been relaying on her wits all her life and she’s quite smart too … just not enough. She either overestimates herself or underestimates others. Of course she deserves the punishment but… I don’t want her under Yingluo.
Mai C. Lee
I’d say it’s both. She overestimated her own abilities and underestimated others’. I personally don’t like her since her whole act is the “sick and pitiful” damsel in distress.
Katarzyna Kadej
Who know if their status after marriage won’t be equal??
kyotot
? the drama this mother and daughter were playing in front of the empress looks like a monkey show in the eyes of their audience ??
Eretria
Yeah it’s the lack of direct communication that caused most of this and most messes in ancient novels. If you want something from your boss always be direct and clear instead of wasting their time. Wasting their time will just make them more unwilling. This whole game of trying to get the other side curious enough to ask so you can act pitiful is like making a request while saying I’m smarter than you so I can trick you into doing my bidding.

Agree with Qin Jiu, even if the monk admits who hired him, Duan Wangye would just say the heir was framed. Time for the next show to begin! ??
Chronos5884
Even if the heir said he did it, his father would say that he was blackmailed into pleading guilty to such obvious lies and was totally innocent.
Nine Kornchid
Thanks for the update ?
Eretria
Is there a need to have Duan Wangye believe it? If there’s witnesses and evidence – can’t he be punished directly? Does the law need the father’s approval to punish attempted murder? He won’t believe it even if his heir stabbed Wangfei in front of him.
Eretria
Actually never mind Wangye. They just held hands! And she initiated! Look how happy he was >_< so precious!!!
maurishQa
people like Duan Wanye, unless the perpetrator confess himself, how much valid is the evidences, he wouldn’t believe it
Flowingfog
Even if his golden child confessed he would still find way out for him.

Merveille Feuné
I feel bad for the princess changning. Obviously she’s just some 13-14 years old girl who was obligated to matured way too quick in this dangerous place called harem with a terrifying mother who use her health to gain the emperor favor. Yes what she did was wrong but if seriously who would take the risk to marry in such a hell. Of course, she’s trying to save her ass and that it. She doesn’t have a mother to protect her and the little love she receives is the only thing keeping her alive in the harem
Merveille Feuné
Seriously she’s like 15 max. I know she’s obviously doing something wrong but I completely blame her circumstances. No kid should be force in such situation. In the end, everything she does is to escape that hell like marriage. She’s scared to death
Kahlua Dragon
Knowing how vicious she already is….. It’s an abnormal reaction for a teenager to plot like this
Jumella
She shouldn’t harm others. That’s what I wanna say, she can cut herself however much she wants but why does she always want to harm others? Like wanting to plot Jiu and Yelu Luan, then now she’s the most suspicious in the Empress’s illness. If it were a bit more serious, the Empress would have died
EllieKit
Even if the heir admits it before the shitty father, you can bet Duan Wangye will insist that the heir is being threatened to confess. And even if he saw the heir literally stab someone with his own eyes, he would just say the heir was defending himself.
keri Olsen
Two stupid people, belong together
keri Olsen
With his face, he wants to compete smh
keri Olsen
A farmer….
And to her that’s a good marriage arrangement….
Smh
Kahlua Dragon
Actually yeah, poorer so less likely to take on a lot of concubines
Musica Nota
To be fair, she lacks a lot of the education given to noblewoman, so a simpler marriage would normally be a better option.
Bookwormie
Her lack of education can be fulfill with tutored by Royal family and being favored niece of Empress. Also, she’s legitimate daughter with Wei and Qin family as support and came from noble with Marquis title. She no better than Qin Xin who’s already known having mvderer parents.
Also, this “simpler” marriage didn’t equate to marrying a groom lower than their slave’s background. So many choices like rich merchants, no-name scholars or poor noblemen w/ better background can be good choice too.
Donut
In granny’s thinking, it’s a good arrangement because firstly no other concubines or wives or whatever. Nothing too complicated about the family tree. It’s also because she lacks some education and most likely wouldn’t be able to marry someone with richer status. The people at the same status or higher wouldn’t want her because of her personality and all that other stuff. In a sense, granny is trying to be considerate.
En GARDE
Well at least shes going to ask “before” deciding it right? Hope its not like when she sent her to the gathering and asked for her opinion after saying she would go
Bookwormie
It’s not good thinking tho. In sense, Grandma didn’t try to find tutor for FL to prepare her for future (she can learn for 2-3yrs bc she’s only 14yo)…instead, she’s pushing her granddaughter “quickly” to someone worse status than their maids.
She can easily pick a rich merchant with their noble title…plus with Royal family’s support, she can pick a young scholar or non-noblemen w/ better background.
Jumella
Actually, if they were a good family, marrying low would do good given that she grew up among the commoners. But the thing is we all know that the Su-shi (second uncle Qin’s wife) wants to ruin Qin Jiu’s marriage and there’s no way she’ll let her marry into a good family

Plot armor… Like so much plot armor
I love lollipop
I mean a lot of things have changed and has made sense so far so idk if plot armor is valid here
En GARDE
Ok lets list it then whats changed;
1) Gu zhen is still alive with empress too so GJ still has competition.
2) Gu Zezhi came the capital directly after being pursued and showed his capabilities.
3)Emperor will in good health for a longer time.
4)Peace talks probably didnt end that well with GJ helping Northern Ye so he got their backing
If we had more context about ognovel im sure we would find more but these are the biggest changes that happened cuz our girl wanted to get rid of her nightmares

short chapter, this is the only chapter I can translate for now ?
Kuroneko_chan
I so agree! Hate how women were so abused back.
Eretria
Personally I find it worse that this unequal treatment was enforced by women.
ShayBella
Double checking: wangfei like ??? Isn’t that “Princess”? Is there a cultural difference distinguishing the daughters from the wives, like the title is for women married into the family or something? Or is it a politeness thing, like being familiar to people your own age and younger but formal with the elders?
Chronos5884
Fei basically means consort and Wang means king. A wangfei is a King’s consort/wife. An unmarried woman cannot be a “fei” as she isnt… well… married.
Duan is a title, so Duan Wangfei means King Duan’s consort.
Shi as in Su Shi roughly translates to madame and usually refers to a madame by her maiden name rather than her title/position or her husband’s position.
Titles could be something like Virtuous or Valourous etc. So some of the names would be like King of Valour’s consort or Duke of York’s Wife (or in this case it would be Duchess of York in a nonliteral translation)
Chinese has a lot of terms to denote family relationships with different words for paternal relatives that are also age and seniority related. You would refer to your dad’s older brother with a different word than your dads younger brother, and your elder male cousin from your mothers family has a different title from your elder male cousin from your fathers family which would be different from what youd call the equixalent who is younger than you.
Theres also differentiation between your an older paternal aunt who is your father’s sister from the title of an older paternal aunt who married your father’s brother.
If chinese novels were translated in detailed literal ways there would be a lot of familial relationship exposition for the relatives that show up.
For example, there’s a word for maternal older (than your mother) uncle’s child who is older than you and a term for your maternal younger (than your mother) biological aunt’s child who is older than you.
These would all be translated in english as “cousin” 🙂

Empress… dont get involved or try to sway anything

Elle
How arrogant
EllieKit
Sure….She should ignore that her step-son tried to kill her and will certainly try again and definitely will kill her son, because the clan can’t have a stain like that on their reputation.
Though, if she wanted to be vindictive, she could say that she’d be willing to return, but only if the Wangye disowns his heir and casts out the heir’s mother, wife and child. The Wangye would never do that, so she could put all the blame of their divorce on him being unreasonable and covering for a murderer.
littlevixen
That’s…. Brilliant ?
kyotot
And she was foolish enough to believe it, waiting here for her for an hour!
who told you to wait!!!

this Li Qin Wang Fei is such a scheming b!tch!! unfortunately for her, Qin Jiu just listens with the other ear and lets it pass in the other ear!!! XDXDXD

Go Qin Jiu make Madam Xiao, “the wife that got away” or more like “glow up” after break up ???
Eretria
Uh-huh, I’m speechless too.

I’m still speechless. Did this other Wangfei not hear why Madam Xiao wants a divorce? Why should QJ want to play house with the people aiming for her future husband’s life.. what kind of interest is that?

they all act this way just because of damn reputation! what if this situation happens to them? argh!! these people are so!!!!

Where is Zhezhi when he’s needed? And do we have a big enough sack for that Wangfei’s ego? ?

She can deal with this much on her own. Random people intruding into other matters are really annoying

Rather than burst our livers and brains in anger over him, I suggest we solve this properly and beat him thoroughly to relieve our anger. I hear it can be quite refreshing.

Chronos5884
I recommend slapping him hard, then strangling him. When he goes unconscious, slap him some more to wake him up 🙂
A few rounds of it should make us feel better. If that’s too much, we can just put a sack over him and give him a few good kicks to ease our blood pressure.

Just sign it and disappear already. Go home so your precious heir can stab you to death.
Kuroneko_chan
Why look at that Duan wangye said they were framed. Am I surprised? No! I figured that was what would happen. But what did surprised me was him thinking Zezhi would actually hurt his own mother to frame the heir!!!! Does he really consider Zezhi his son??? All his talk of how he loves both his sons equally is so much bullsh!t. Ofc, I blame the concubine mother who probably poisoned Duan Wangye’s opinion of Zezhi. It is so apparent Duan Wangye loves his concubine and only keeps Wangfei bc of face.
Kuroneko_chan
You know he will sign it. The heir and his wife, and his concubine mother are all more important in Duan Wangye’s heart and mind than his Wangfei, who is his official wife, and Zezhi, who is actually his official son and should be his rightful heir.
EllieKit
At this point, I want the Duan Wang heir to kill off his father already. But I also want Duan Wang to know it was his son just moments before he dies, so he can be slapped with the truth but can’t do anything about it.
EllieKit
Duan Wang only wants to refuse because of reputation. It’s clear he never actually cared about Madam Xiao.
Pretty Is The Kitty At Play
The things we regret most are the things we failed to cherish while we held them. ::shakes head::

Eretria
Well, that really endangers Wangye‘s life now. As they just said the heir is just a heir until his father dies. I like it.
Plus with Zezhi and his mother removed & elevated on their own it will be very hard to frame him for murdering his dad. So what now sudden accident? Poisoned incense? I actually still hope for open murder so Wangye see‘s his precious heir stabbing him.
kyotot
LOL
????
face to face murder!!!
Katarzyna Kadej
Since the events in the capital brought whole Duan Wang clan into the limelight heir can’t act recklessly, at least for now.
My bet is: an arranged “bandit/enemy attack”.
Their clan is patrolling and protecting the border yes? I think that it could be arranged as that enemy’s group attacking civilians and heir with his dear father’s help and troops will have to go but enemy will be smarter (thanks to given intel), idiot wangye will fall into the trap, get wounded or killed. And his beloved son “tried so much to help and save his father but couldn’t do anything, sob sob… ”
Or, which is also probable, he’ll get rid off wangye but will try to set gu zezhi up.
kyotot
i just wonder what kind of brain does Duan Wangye has! tsk tsk!

Quite literally here it seems ?
Chronos5884
Dear god, reminding me of that son-of-a-gun. I want to shove my foot right up that jerk’s backside except I don’t want to get my feet dirty.
EllieKit
How is it that Duan Wangye has been married to Madam Xiao for multiple decades and yet knows her so little?
Kuroneko_chan
This actually happens IRL marriages/relationships. Just means Madame Xiao was always the one compromising and Duan Wangye is selfish and self-centered. We already know he is super biased by his own beliefs. Add all that together, you get a husband who has an image of what he thinks his wife is like vs how his wife is really like.
Chronos5884
All the time. It also has a lot to do with poor communication and unresolved misunderstandings. When people get into habits and take things for granted, it’s easy to lose sight of the people around you.
Chronos5884
Over time, people change, but if you aren’t paying attention and if you aren’t communicating, the changes may not be noticed or seen. Like boiling a frog in warm water, sometimes you don’t realize how much one has changed until you have a moment where you wake up and realize that you’ve been sharing your home with someone who’s now a stranger.
kyotot
Bet damn right, better without the heartless Duan Wangye!!! ??
kyotot
Who’s interrupting the Qin Jiu Gu Zezhi time?! ??
EllieKit
I’m guessing it’s the slag father. There aren’t too many people who would call him by his given name.
Eretria
He probably wants him to coax his ex-wife for him. ?
Chronos5884
Un, he should do that. He should coax mom to get a few kicks in when they secretly put a sack over his head 🙂
Eretria
I’m glad the divorce went through before Madam Xiao set off. I hope it will prevent the stupid heir from targeting her again.
Kuroneko_chan
He really is not a good father. But wait, isn’t Zezhi separating the family!!?!?? Zezhi needs to reclaim all his awards he got through his achievements!!!! Don’t let the Heir claim them!!! The Heir didn’t earn them!!!
Also, Zezhi’s last sentence at the end made me feel sad for Zezhi. Persecuted since birth by his older half brother, forced by his own father to lower himself to his half brother, and probably reminded constantly that he isn’t the heir so he shouldn’t do anything to “steal” it, and witnessing how biased his father is towards his half brother. Zezhi definitely has nothing but resentment towards the man he calls father. And he probably never felt like that place was his “home”.
kyotot
What the, why do every time this Wangye appears, I got really really really really really really angry!!! ANGRY I TELL YOU!!!
kyotot
He is d@mn A-N-N-O-Y-I-N-G, really how does his brain work, no—does he even have brain?!
Chronos5884
Bless his heart, the poor dear clearly has a pea-sized brain to match his overinflated ego.
I guess when god gave him brains, he had to use what was left over after making his ego.
Sometimes you just got to make do, hey. So tough!
kyotot
If I face this kind of man my patience will run out and will just either SLAP him or just IGNORE him forever!!!
ran7654
if u slap someone, u may get sued depending on your country.
kyotot
slap him in my mind ??
Chronos5884
I vote we put a sack over his head on his way back home or in an alley with no surveillance and give him a few kicks.
If there’s no witness and no evidence, we can’t be sued 🙂
That, or we get him to attack first and then all is self-defense 🙂
Chronos5884
Why not do both? Adults don’t choose! Slap him, block him, and then ignore him forever!
kyotot
But at least Gu Zezhi got the last say this time!!
Eretria
Duan Wangye never thought of divorcing the wangfei, it was just a matter of priority.
Yup and you prioritised your heir over your wife, so scram already.
Nine Kornchid
Duan Wangye is so shameless, idiotic, stupid, and the list goes on ?
Thankfully Madam Xiao divorced that man. That stupid man doesn’t deserve Zezhi Mom’s time and effort ?
Thanks for the update ?
EllieKit
Please! Please let the heir kill him by stabbing him face-to-face so he has enough time to realize the truth and feel his insides rotting with regret but being unable to do anything about it.

I might be a vicious person, but that’s okay~
Flowingfog
His trashy father again ?
kyotot
I really have a very very very long rant about this Wangye!! my blood was boiling and just wanted his character to die in the hands of his proud heir and see how “sincere” his heir was but on second thought, I want him to live–to live in agony of not believing in Zezhi and especially to his wife after knowing the TRUE TRUTH! I want him to suffer and want him to watch how he let go of his family, a wife that cares and loves him and a son that looks up to him(before). I want him to feel the sorrow and the “what if” that he could only say at the end. THAT”S WHAT I WANT!!! and I hope he gets it!!! Killing his character would be far too easier for him, at least let him feel what frustration is!
anyways Qin Jiu should have smack him hard with your whip!!??
Luna
He just sealed his fate tbh. Instead of going back and letting sleeping dogs lie just as the heir and co wanted, he’s going to continue investigating just to show gu zezhi and his mom how “wrong” they were.
This might as well have been gu zezhi’s last talk with his father and he might know it.
Thanks for the chapter!!

I didn’t like that zezhi was always calling him “father”. That sorry excuse of a dung doesn’t deserve to be called like that. Zezhi could just call him per “duan wang ye” and that’s it.

He can have his second chance in hell with his precious sonny and his mother and wife, they can stay there for eternity like one big happy family ??

ran7654
I worked well the 1st time around and only this time due to mc intervening things turned around.
Eretria
The first time around the 6th prince was murdered and the empress and emperor passed away not much later. Betting on Gu Jing only worked well because he didn’t have to be compared. MC’s intervention created a shift in power, sure, but it’s not like her actions affected Gu Jing’s intelligence and abilities.
Eretria
I’m not completely comprehending the royal family tree but … this new marriage suggestion is pretty insulting. They should just let Gu Jing take Qin Xin as his main wife and stop trying to pull innocent bystanders into his quagmire.
I like the moving out thing. I picture two residences with Yelu and his unwilling wives living right next to Gu Jing and his sinister concubine.

Yelu Luan… you are really not all that bright are you… I mean Gu Jing doesn’t have the brains to outsmart you… and if he did… you wouldn’t be able to get close enough to stab at him… nor would the emperor throw Gu Jing away if he was so masterful at throwing you under the bus.

I also understand that they were sent by Su-shi and even though their deeds are now in Jiu’s hands she’ll never trust them so staying loyal to Su-shi isn’t a bad move per se… but this is stupid. She was already punished and is still proactive in causing trouble. Lay back, watch and listen, maybe slack off a little here and there but don’t actively present yourself as a problem.
Eretria
First time reading it I got to distracted by Gu Jing’s stupidity but … how did the emperor conclude his thoughts on marrying them with telling the future bride to call her future husband uncle? I mean I know seniority is important but if you want to marry them don’t make it more awkward. XD
En GARDE
Its kind of a generation thing i guess. Emperors uncle (Duke) is similar in age to the emperor. And zhezi born quite late too so even though hes from tthe same generation as the emperor hes as young as 2nd prince. Thats why he calls him uncle and Qin jiu also should call him uncle
Eretria
She turned and spotted Zezhi but not the approaching Xin?
Lily
I think Xin approach her from behind while Zezhi approach from the front
Eretria
Tbh. 30 slaps in the face with a bamboo board wouldn’t make me sick but definitely seriously injured.
Kahlua Dragon
IRL the face would be scarred but this is a cnovel
Eretria
Always happy when Xin loses in comparison with Jiu but this is … a bit you know. Jiu growing up in the countryside isn’t an issue per se but she was abused, did hard work, and pushed a handcart 20 miles regularly until a month ago. The medicine used in the palace must be real magic to have that effect.
Musica Nota
She lost her tan real fast for sure. I once had tiger stripes on my back from a swimsuit for half a year.
Donut
Well there exists whitening stuff for people’s skin so maybe that’s the case here?
En GARDE
Yo tiger stripes look cool on Dai Mubai im sure it did on you too
Sabrina IX
Well, the skin that could be seen were only the face, neck and hands..
Most of her injuries are 'hidden'. Moreover she's been living in the palace for a month so it's no wonder her skin tone has been nurtured to its original hue. I once read another novel, in the ancient times, there's a beutifiying soup to nourish a body from the inside, and there should be beutifying cream inside the palace to maintain the concubines' appearance. Adding Qin Jiu's age where its in a development phase, with good food, good rest, and no stressing, her change for a month is still logical in my opinion ?
Eretria
This is one of the most disappointing moves of Grandma Qin. Qin Xin only started selling items in the last five days and Zening could not be more clear about how he feels about the Qin Xin. Even if they used the excuse of subsidising the manors finances, using the dowry of the first madam is a no go.
If it was me, and that bish sold my mothers heirloom I’d cut of her hand for it.
En GARDE
Shes really disappointing. Im not sure if its the age or not but shes been making only mistakes since Qin jui came.
Eretria
Bowl, Painting, Ginseng, Paperweight, Seal, Goblet, Necklace and Bracelet… I count eight items.
Sike_bi0tch
Let’s ignore that. CN novels authors always have feuds with maths and physics. And common knowledge, of course. These four could never get along ??????????
En GARDE
Lets make the seal and paperweight same? Btw if this is the seal im thinking about how tf did they pawn a family seal?? Like it has to be some blackmarket thing and not some daylight pawnshop
Eretria
I especially like how she thinks it’s because she’s been reduced to a concubine. Like it can’t be the lying and stealing right?
Eretria
Mhh Gu Zezhi speaking my mind.
Eretria
Burning all those animals after hunting them seems incredible wasteful.
Crowcowdile
You’ve perfectly resumed religion.
Eretria
I really like her (misplaced) loyalty but Qin Xin has already been reduced to a concubine so that won’t matter.
Besides it’s clearly Zezhi trying to seduce our girl here!
Kahlua Dragon
This trope ….. I wish the FL thas a good loyal female friend
I love lollipop
She has an awesome loyal brother that supported her from day one so fair ?
Eretria
Can I just say that I feel really sorry for Changning here? Her scheme backfiring is to be expected since she went up against our MC, but her pig-headed maid knocked over the screen on top of it. :’x
Kahlua Dragon
Yeah, minions make or break the success of any villainous plan
Musica Nota
To be honest, I get where she’s coming from. She simply wanted the two hot potatoes to take each other so she could just stay out of the drama. Her only mistake was not clearing out of there earlier. I hope her ending isn’t too bad because I don’t think she’s really that villainous of a character.
Ever
The problem was QJ hadn’t threatened her even slightly yet. I feel she should have just stopped at the tea part and not called the Beiling prince.
Eretria
I wish there was someone around who’d tell Yelu that nobody wants to marry him. <_<'
Eretria
Mhh… normally tigers can climb trees.
littlevixen
Birch trees would be too thin for it to climb but tigers usually aren’t around birch trees ?
Eretria
I bet my space money on Qin Xin causing Grandma Qin to get sick in the first place!
Eretria
I know ancient times and stuff but saying the marriage matters can’t be delayed at age 14 is giving me the creeps. Also.. Yingluo is 15-16 and still runs rampant.
En GARDE
Who would marry her when she has a mouth like that (tho probably there are talks)
Eretria
Did he fall from the roof when nobody was around or was he pushed? The sudden interest in material arts could very well be for self-defense.
Eretria
Ah, I really hope Wangye gets stabbed by his precious heir.
Eretria
It’d be good if the Empress Dowager uses this to reevaluate her grandchildren’s situation. When the Empress went to investigate Zhen’er’s drowning incident she admonished her because Gu Jing’s mother’s last name is Liu…
Katarzyna Kadej
Yes, let’s hope she’ll be the first muddled elder who’d see the light and not the only one ????
Eretria
I really want to smack him. Who aside from his side concubine, his heir and the heir’s consort would have any motive to target the Wangfei?
Eretria
Wangye is so stupid. Even if the heir and his consort were as innocent as he insists. The poisoned incense was given to Wangfei at their fu, so staying at the capital with Zezhi is obviously safer.
Eretria
“the scumbag Duang Wangye”
This typo is great, let’s cross out the “a”, now he’s Dung Wangye! Lord Dung, master of sh*t.
Katarzyna Kadej
???????
kyotot
what a wholesome chapter!!!
btw, Qin Zening who was easy to coax again? Who doesn’t want favor again? ??
you’re playing on Gu Zezhi’s hands my dear!!!??
Eretria
kyotot
He kept on staring at Qin Xin with a smile on his face it’s giving me the creeps. ;—;
Please fix this typo
kyotot
?? how should I change it? ?
Eretria
To Qin Jiu of course D= there’s no way Qin Xin could be there and Zezhi is only allowed to smile a you’re-going-down-smile at her anyway!!
TheHungryFujoshii
FIGHT ME!
Qin Zeyu has the MOST ADORABLE CHARACTER GROWTH ?
Eretria
Who is more likely to reach a secret agreement with Beiyan behind the emperor’s back the guy who forced Yelu Luan to kneel down in front of the fallen soldiers or the one how goes drinking with him? ?
Chronos5884
Clearly the one who publicly humiliated him throughout the capital and made him kowtow in front of the enemy nation is way more likely to get along well and be his best buddy!
It was all a trick so no one would realize it! Clearly!
Surely!
Truly!
These people are so used to thinking in twists, turns and around 7 corners that they couldn’t catch or hit a heavily telegraphed straight ball to save their lives.
Eretria
I love how he feels wronged, when just few hours ago he tried to sell Zening to his in-laws.
TheTanJar
I think eldest brother needs a sweet but strong wife to take care of him and distract him from his sister being stolen ?
Katarzyna Kadej
A strong barbarian princess.
Or at least someone decisive and strong as Gu Zezhi’s mom.
Nine Kornchid
Thanks for the chapter ?

Chronos5884
Nevermore! Quoth the raven.
He’ll stand at attention nevermore!
Eretria
They’ve been pushing him to select a crown prince and now that he’s picked the sixth prince they suddenly say no need to rush. -_-
Also the sixth prince being young means you old geezers have time to get in his good grace.
Katarzyna Kadej
I already see that current emperor has to change few ministers to those who can use their brains properly.
Eretria
They had people rewrite books to their liking? With my cultural and moral upbringing it sounds like a bad thing but at the same time I’m super jealous. ‘-‘
Eretria
Please tell your future mother-in-law to die without making a fuss, so the royal family won’t lose face.
Nine Kornchid
Thanks for the chapter ?
Eretria
Living separately, eh? I don’t know much about Daqi law but I hear attempt murder get’s you hanging.
Eretria
I’ve no problem with Yelu not believing Gu Jing and focusing his hatred on him but… he’s overestimating him so much I dunno who to feel sorry for.
Though I kinda feel sorry for Gu Jing getting booted out like that. I mean he deserves the treatment but at the same time being treated that way by your own father sucks.
Eretria
Are we close to the end of the novel? If Gu Jing’s injury… causes reproduction problems it will take him and Qin Xin out of the running. Yelu, Yinglou and Changning are already taken care of, so only Duan’s heir remains to be dealt with.
kyotot
Mmm.. we’re almost in the middle or already in the middle, but the ending is still far?
Eretria
Good 😀
Eretria
«has he ever had selfish intentions?» Yes, always. “Keeping the royal clan’s face” is a selfish motive, since you’re part of it.
Eretria
I would like to know what the Qin in Qin wangfu and Qin Chenjun translates to. Should be different from MC’s last name, right?
Kahlua Dragon
Guess biiger county king?
Kasturi Bhattacharya
From the little knowledge I gathered after reading C-novels, it should be Qinwang and Junwang. Prince of First Rank and Prince of Second Rank.
En GARDE
Maybe he will have a fief? Thats definetly an upgrade.
Sai Krishna
Not an upgrade, but probably not a downgrade either. ML’s father is a Qinwang (a Prince of First Rank). If they follow normal procedure, a Qingwang’s heir, after his father’s death, will be a Junwang (a Prince of Second Rank).
So, ML is getting what he deserves, but he got it on his own and was personally conferred by the emperor.
It shouldn’t be Chenjun Wang. It should be Chen Junwang.
And when they referred to Qin Chenjun, it actually should be Chen Qinwang. So, they expect ML to be promoted to a Qinwang, the same rank as his father.
Eretria
Oh I see stabbing potential. Zezhi & his mom already have a title but the heir is still only a heir. Now if Wangye is serious about Madam Xiao being his only wangfei and doesn’t raise Concubine Feng the heir might just get a bit to impatient.
Eretria
Oh honey, nobody wants to steal your man.
Chronos5884
Most girls with their heads on straight are trying their best to run away from her man haha
Katarzyna Kadej
I just wanted to write that. How in her own pov there are other girls who wants to get closer to “her man”, when in truth it’s him who’s looking for connections with influential or strong families. 3rd miss Yun didn’t want to have anything in common with him, just like her parents. What’s more, her father volunteered to guard the border so his dear daughter won’t be considered as prince’s wife candidate, lol ???
Like a hot potato game ???
Eretria
A’Ning there’s no point in starring Zeyu down. The little brat can’t wait for Xiao Jiu to marry out.

ran7654
this story is progressing well but gu jing becoming eunuch pulls the quality of the story down. This is just author’s bad attempt at shortening the story by removing any further plot development like a comeback or something for Gu jing.
Eretria
Not necessarily. The emperor already made clear that he plans to make Gu Zhen crown prince. No matter what stones are thrown in the way that’s unlikely to change and no reader would actually expect Gu Jing to get crowned.
He’s not dead and his inability to reproduce isn’t confirmed (publicly) so returning to cause trouble isn’t impossible. Especially since all antagonistic roles in this novel love to blame others for their own karma.
Meow
Yeah it’s a bit cheap to just write him off, but it’s not a huge loss.
It’s not like we don’t know the outcome of this story, so him existing and putting pressure on the mcs wasn’t really a big suspense factor
Eretria
Oh right the Li couple is still on the lose.
Also… Jiu accused them of murder? Yeah right she was miles away.
Nine Kornchid
Thanks for the chapter ?
EllieKit
I noticed a few small errors.
‘Not only did she not able to enter, but so was Qin Zhun.’ I’m guessing it’s supposed to be ‘not only was she not’.
‘Qin Xin’s heart sank and he was about to leave, but he was called by Qin Zhun again.’ All the ‘he’ in this sentence should be ‘she’.
kyotot
thanks for telling me! ? I’ll change it now… I don’t know why but my pc wants to use “he” on Qin Xin ???
Mibu Kyo
Changning already cut her flesh and prayed for her, but the empress didn’t have a trace of kindness for her….
Umm, I don’t think anyone told her to do so. She did it on her own for her own purpose. Why does the Empress have to feel indebted to her? These people have really strange way of thinking.
kyotot
Wow, just wow!! How could these people reverse the situation for their own benefit!!! And it was Qin Jiu’s fault?! That she is heartless!! Where fact it should be them who should be ashamed of snatching her identity for their daughter!!
kyotot
I’m sooo angry, really angry!!! I really hope this only happens in stories…?????
Kuroneko_chan
Oh my…!!!! They really have no morals! They don’t think what they did was wrong – AT ALL!?!?!? That Qin Xin, no wonder the grandfather wasn’t able to find Qin Jiu like in the past. Oh, she is an evil one. They better get what they deserve. ?
MelayStuff
my jaw couldn’t help but be dropped at this audacity I just read… is it too much to wish that someone HELPFULLY overheard this?
Nine Kornchid
Thanks for the chapter ?
Eretria
Weird, they describe abuse but talk of kindness. Is my dictionary broke? ?
aelin
Wow. They’re free real estate for all the beheading seriously.
kyotot
What Qin Jiu is already engaged with that fool?! Hello!! It was supposed to be you Qin Xin, after all, it is you who is the real daughter, and that geng tie is yours!!! Tsk tsk tsk now I wonder how the hell she became the FL in the original timeline!!! One thing is for sure, she and Gu Jing are indeed a match made in heaven!! IDIOT couple!!
Kuroneko_chan
They apparently forgot who Qin Xin and Qin Jiu’s identities, it seems.
SuperRedNova
I don’t think that first “engagement” would hold up since all those who set it up aren’t related to Qin Jiu in any way. Qin Xin is just setting herself up for a face slap again; will she ever learn? ?
aelin
She’s been beyond redemption since a long time ago
Kuroneko_chan
Oppose her??? Qin Xin really has a distorted perception of reality. Qin Jiu tried to avoid Qin Xin, but Qin Xin insists on destroying Qin Jiu. Hell, we even find out Qin Xin, in her rebirth, went so far as to even tell her parents to kill Qin Jiu!!!! So who is opposing who!!!??!? At this point, I feel quite confident that Qin Xin killed the grandfather to prevent him from finding Qin Jiu, which changed some things. This family truly are unbelievably shameless. They don’t deserve any of these things, they stole it all from Qin Jiu and yet, they somehow feels it was their right, not Qin Jiu’s. Wow.
Eretria
Oh Qin Xin, my dear ignorant fool! You are the Li’s daughter. That means you are the one with two engagements. ?
Even if you just want to spread rumours you’ll be severely disappointed, ‘cause there’s no way Zezhi would let go of Xiao Jiu.
MelayStuff
I think she will be too stunned to speak when Gu Zezhi gladly destroys this other male… because we know who he has his sights set on!
Nine Kornchid
What an idiotic girl hahaha
Did she really think Zezhi will let go of our MC ?
Anyway thanks for the update ?
Dramacrazy Tan10
Hate this evil family…. Cannot wait to read on how Qin Jiu can get out of their evil clutches. Thanks

The best way to cover his inability is to pretend he’s totally able but is always just spending time with his trusted and beloved concubine.

Do these people forget who QX is or??
Katarzyna Kadej
Yes, I was always thinking that those people has a memory span of a goldfish.
Not only qj and qx are not related (what kind of “sisters” they are?? ??) Qx is an impostor who’s officially merely “adopted”, without one drop of qin’s blood who lived someone else’s life for more than a decade…
Is that so hard for them to remember that??
MelayStuff
I am concerned that these people are coming to wreck havoc on her life and her brother and the male lead are headed off to do War things…

It’ll probably all fall on Qin Xin and her parents heads since Qin Jiu Nevers was their daughter. Is thé gentie even hers or is it Qin Xin’s?

A bit of a digression but for some reason i imagined ML having some sort of ability to tell him who missed him the most and then him being shocked at the 1st place being zeyu
EllieKit
I laughed at that thought. ML opens his ‘who is missing me’ app and is shocked to find that it isn’t his wifey but his younger brother-in-law. He then shuts the app and pretends he saw nothing.

Ugh, baby bro Qin is so stupid. And now that Qin Xin got her wish and married the 2nd prince, I wonder what their next scheme will be?

The emperor knows everything. I like the process
Donut
Right? A smart emperor is rare in these stories
Xiao Yu
Thanks for the chapter!!!!
EllieKit
Looks like Gu Jing is preparing an alibi for himself for when he marries a consort but never touches her.
Eretria
He should’ve just taken Qin Xin as his consort though. The “unkind” side characters are already engaged so any new consort of his would be an innocent bystander.
And if he’s been married for a few years without “good news” it won’t do him any good either.
Katarzyna Kadej
Yes, it’s a pity if an innocent girl would suffer bcs of them, but he can’t do that. He’d lose his biggest supporter.
Nine Kornchid
Thanks for the chapter ??
Eretria
Since I see no worth in Gu Jing, I honestly don’t care whenever Qin Xin’s marriage to him is big or small – I mean I would feel sorry for anyone else in her position but not her.
Why did she think Xiao Jiu would come to give her face? She’d have more chances getting Princess Yinglou over – assuming she hasn’t been quietly married to Yelu yet. At least she never screwed her over … openly. I’m really curious how she feels about her good friend Qin Xin right now.

Kahlua Dragon
Yes, this time around this fake KNEW that the original was out there. But still ….. Even without knowing a thing I find the brother’s attitude very trashy and petty
Sike_bi0tch
He knows that that fake knew about this that’s why he behaved like that. As for QX, she didn’t use her past life’s memories to improve her life. She STOLE someone else’s life and did crime after crime… She’s a certified trash.. Nvm even trash would feel insulted.. ??
Emmanuelle Mestres
Hé tested her first to see if she knew since she was already four when she came. And her réaction showed that she knew. That’s why he’s acting like this. If she didn’t know he might have bien less intimate for a while but would have still accepted her
Kahlua Dragon
The brother is being too rash…. And stupidly naive ??? this reveal could have been done better by the brother instead of being all high and mighty.
How do come to know a person isn’t your sibling and lose all feelings for them?
Musica Nota
Probably because he believes she knew.
Yenioluwa
He personally investigated his sister’s life, the abuse and everything. If that was not enough to dislike the imposter, at least it was enough to remove whatever affection was there.
I love lollipop
Yep, it’s naive but that’s a good brother right there
Emmanuelle Mestres
It’s because when he tested her to see if she knew her réaction showed that she knew. Therefore she is an accomplice in thé whole affair.

Yikes …. Whole family is messed up
Kahlua Dragon
I wish the og soul had transmigrated but oh well

Ngl i dont. She wouldnt be able to bear with these stupid people as the novel said. How would she be bullied in marquis house they said, she herself let her bullied by 4th daughter just know. No wonder Qin family declined looks like grandpa carried them hard. She didnt even ask to her if she wanted to go or not this grandma i wonder how they will redeem her. She keeps making mistakes and then feels sad for a moment and move on.

and then when they bring up the Li‘s having arranged this marriage: Ohhh, sorry but the girl you’re looking for is Qin Xin – go take it up with the second Prince.

The fact that the engagement is to the daughter of the Li family is going to bite Qin Xin in the ass. Qin Jiu isn’t the Li’s daughter, Qin Xin is.

Hmm….. She was being led away. So no matter what she says about not being harmed, since it’s an ultra conservative society she’d never be able to marry into nobility and end up as zu zelan’s titleless concubine. I’m thinking this is the plan – or else why even target her?

Yes, that was the deal with Gu Jin. Ye Luluan kills Gu Zezhi and gets to take her away.

The translation started off a bit shaky but it’s all good now. Maybe I am used to translations that keep many of the original Chinese idioms and metaphors – so the story here is easier to read but loses the “feelings”
I’m reading this ENTIRELY because translation keeps FL ‘s stable and quite modern.

He could have praised his baby brother AND be seen as a good elder brother along with offering up viable plans. Instead he sounds jealous
littlevixen
OMG I didn’t even think of that ? You’re so right! If he’d praised his brother and added to his plans maybe even offered to stay behind and take care of it himself he could have done so much better.

Who is the first miss?
Falling Mallows
I don’t think there is a first miss, rather, I think the ranking of first, second, third, etc. is based on which child was born first in the family (this includes every child of the first and second branch) Since Qin Zening was born first, he’s the first young master, Qin Xin is older than Qin Jiu so QX is the second miss, QJ becomes the third miss, Madam Su’s legitimate daughter was born after QJ so her rank is after QJ (originally the 3rd miss, she became the 4th miss after QJ acknowledged her ancestors).
Either that or the first miss is already married off/dead.

I’m thinking grandmother just stopped caring after the old Marquis died

There is no chemistry between the FL and ML. Why Author? You wrote the story! I still get the feeling ML thinks of QG as a foreign toy or a pet for whom a petlover wants to provide

I can’t wait to see the expression on Qin Xin’s face when she realizes she lifted a rock only to smash herself in the foot!
TheTanJar
Most annoying part is she probably won’t recognize that she will blame someone else either Qin Jiu or her parents. It was her scheme but she didn’t think it through at all
Kuroneko_chan
IKR! How can she forget something so important that being switched means her birth date and time as everyone knows it are not hers but Qin Jiu! And as another person mentioned, even her name “Qin Xin” actually belongs to Qin Jiu!!!

I feel bad for the elder brother, he’s pretty much been left to parent his younger siblings by himself.

Honestly that Gu Jing, even if your book protagonist halo is strong, there should be a limit to how incompetent your logic is. At this point, even if it’s for your own agenda, you’re just selling your victorious country to the losing party and still helping them count the money ? I mean, what good would it be if you get the throne but lose your domain in the process? No wonder you were a puppet emperor even in the original book’s plot ??

First and second are Qin Jiu and Qin Zeyu, respectively
Eretria
Gu Jing having turned this bitter supports the theory that he’s become an unwilling eunuch. And I guess the bitterness also overruled the love he had for Qin Xin.
If he isn’t ‘disabled’ and she does get pregnant the rumours would become very amusing with the Xu mother & son outside. XD
Kuroneko_chan
I don’t think he actually loved Qin Xin to begin.
Eretria
Not more than his ambitions but he clearly regarded her very highly before. Didn’t he plead with the dowager to make her his consort (before the fake-priest was revealed and she got degraded)?
Kuroneko_chan
I feel like it was more she flattered his ego. That she is so perfect and loved only him. That is not love.
Steven Newton
To be more accurate it seems like he loved Qin Xin far far far too much, so much so he entirely bought into her flowery words of loving him no matter what. Hence him bringing her in as a consort, she told him status and prestige don’t matter so he legitimately thought it doesn’t matter as long as they’re together.
Turns out that’s not the case and every single time Qin Xin has tried to help out his schemes it’s backfired enormously.
Kuroneko_chan
But isn’t that his ego? She said she loved him regardless of his status and money etc, he feels like he is so lucky, but push comes to shove, he chose his status over the girl. Albeit, he did fight to have Qin Xin as a concubine as a compromise.
Ns7
I think he just fought to have her as concubine to keep her close, she was helping him with his schemes after all and she was good at “foreseeing” events that were helpful to him to bild a good reputation, but ever since her schemes have been failing plus the disability has had worn out his “love” for her

Man there’s a bunch of typos with the names. It’s kinda confusing
Falling Mallows
I wonder why Yingluo thinks she can’t be sent as the bride for that marriage alliance? I used to think she’s just being misguidedly loyal to Qin Xin as her bosom friend but seeing her being this malicious to someone who basically just gave a kind reminder, tsk, birds of the same feather flock together eh.

A good show indeed. Though hearing that Gu Jing doesn’t even have proper guards is surprising. I mean I like how he was thrown out with just the cloths on his body but he is a prince and was recently attacked in bright daylight so giving him no guards doesn’t look that good.
aelin
I feel like that statement might be over exaggerated by Gu King about the perceived flaw of his guards. More like he was given soldiers from a lower division than just random guys
Eretria
No it say’s „so he bought young men and later let them act as bodyguards“ so they definitely aren’t soldiers. Should be slaves, as most servants in these stories are under slave contracts.

That just sounds tragic now. He’s gonna turn into a big antagonist now

Falling Mallows
Really shows that Zezhi was framed for killing his parents. Zezhi might not have even been in the Duan Wangfu when his mom died and could have just been conveniently framed by his older brother. Even if he knew his father let his mother die, I dont think Zezhi is the type to raise his sword on his father. From what I see of his character, he’s more of the type who will plot the downfall of others while keeping hia hands clean instead of going for the brainless violence route which seems more like Gu Chenzi’s modus operandi.

Gu Jing thinks Qin Xin cares about him…just wait until you get pronounced impotent and thus get one leap farther from the throne and we’ll see how much Qin Xin would still care about you then.
Falling Mallows
Eh, so to clarify, all the abuse Qin Jiu received, Qin Xin actually had a hand in them ? QX is obviously quite vicious from an early age and Gu Jing not seeing anything just drives the point of him being perfect for the role of puppet emperor home all the more. Really a perfect match, QX thinks she’s omnipotent and GJ is now impotent.
Falling Mallows
Oh my, tell me your brain is smooth without telling me you’re an idiot. Everyone knows Qin Jiu was switched at birth, if her biological grandmother can’t even decided QJ’s marriage, what qualifications could her kidnappers decide her marriage with? Besides, she didn’t even marry the fool, but they’ll obviously be dragged into the mess with Qin Xin’s idea. Guess it’s time to light up incense for the Xu family.
Katarzyna Kadej
Xu family still can get unscathed from this incident. All they have to say is that they wanted a young man from their family to marry a nice girl and it’s the other side’s fault. It’s Li’s who schemed and planned to sell a girl who’s not even related to them as a bride .
“Xu’s were cheated” ??(? ???_???)?? ?
On the other side as her biological parents those two can arrange their own daughter’s marriage and if QX is so eager to marry, that fool is already available, so she can do it right away. Bride price was already paid and it’s not like she’s 2nd prince’s concubine and she’s not his fiancee so she’s not tied to him…
I don’t see princey fighting like a lion to be with her, he has bigger problems on his mind now ??
I don’t know how it even crossed that selfish b!tch’s mind that an empress would let her precious niece to marry according to arrangements of murderers who not only stole her niece’s identity, made her life miserable, even tried to kill her who knows how many times. Ha, when that thot QX will just open her mouth in a second empress will think of 1000 ways to torture her.

Oh this is fun. Though… logically speaking the reputation aside this shouldn’t cause any changes in marriage matters as the contract was fraudulent from the start.
Eretria
I’m not enjoying this as much as I’d like. Qin Xin instigated it and deserves to be caught in her own trap but I can’t enjoy it as much because the situation in itself is so horrible. If you take the names away it’s a girl getting sued because her parents arranged her marriage without her knowledge or consent.

Yup, i never felt any satisfaction about this, even when our MC steered them away

kyotot
Happy and all with Qin Xin’s karma though in a way it wasn’t really her fault, it’s the parents’ fault!! But I still think she deserves it~ anyways it doesn’t just taste right with me that these people got angry that she was promised to two men! It’s not like she MARRIED the two at the same time also what about the man in their era?! Women can’t have many men but man can have many women!!! tsk tsk tsk, what a twisted and narrow-minded thinking!
Eretria
Exactly.
TheTanJar
It is her fault she wanted to trap Qin Jiu with this plot. Also I really feel bad for the fool in this. I mean his parents love him I guess but they are treating him as breeding stock and Qin Xin is so repulsed by him.
Nine Kornchid
Thanks for the chapter ?
Eretria
I did not expect this verdict. And.. I don’t like it. It’s good riddance since it’s Qin Xin but the girl getting sued for two sets of elders setting different marriages? I also dislike the whole bride-price letter thing because as the verdict underlined it’s basically slavery disguised as marriage.
aelin
For the most part marriage has always been a contract regulated by government. And it’s been unequal save for the past few decades for most women entrapped in it. Ancient China just plainly put the arranged part of marriage as it really is.
Kuroneko_chan
This whole arc is disgusting me. The actions and behaviors of Qin Xin, her bio parents, the Xu family, and Gu Jing. All awful. No one deserves what Qin Xin got, even though she did it to herself. It sounds like Gu Jing may have started abusing her after marriage, based upon all the comments that Qin Xin is scared of Gu Jing. And it also sounds like the empress wants to use this opportunity to get rid of Qin Xin from the capital.
Sabrina IX
Would there be another trial for domestic violence..?? ? I guess not.. ???? just the folks chatter about another play ? while somebody felt humiliated ???
Ancient people are trully scary~ ?
Thanks for the update ??
Dramacrazy Tan10
Retribution …. She reaped what she sowed. Thanks
EllieKit
This whole chapter has raised a big question for me. Qin Xin was fairly well known around the capital. Why didn’t anyone question the fact she’s been in the capital for so many years, and yet her birth parents made a marriage for her? Surely the bride price letter would have a date on it.
aelin
Yeah I feel like the author ventured into brain dead plot territory here
Nightshade
That’s right, the common people saying the Marquis adopted a poor daughter and gave her to the prince and accepting it so easily after it was said that QX was well known for her gentleness and fairness since she was young, feels like lazy writing to me. That or the author just completely forgot about what she wrote in the past.
Bookwormie
Noble society might know her…but common folks didn’t which big part of this public play on gossipmonger.
Also, nobles already got curious and doubts on how Qin Xin’s geneology was easily changed from Eldest to 2nd Branch. It meant Qin Xin’s origin was already questionable… she’s either adopted or illegitimate kid of current Marquis. As long as Li couple admit she’s their kid, already prove that it’s Qin Xin.
With Qin Jiu’s case of being lost daughter… it just another case of kid’s missing esp Qin family being exiled for years.
I love lollipop
That’s why Xin made the plan happen and why I don’t pity her at all (excluding the abuse from Jung). The author and characters made it clear before the entire situation became what it is, that people would not really care about the information and it would really mostly damage the woman’s reputation. It was Jiu that was supposed to go through all of this but unfortunately for Xin, it fell back on her.
For the court, it’s not really about what’s true or not, the background details behind it all, but the evidence. If the evidence matches and the major witnesses present agree, there’s nothing more to add up together. It’s then up to the rest of the people to speculate and conclude unless the people affected makes it clear whether false or not what the situation was.
Kuroneko_chan

Eretria
If Gu Jing didn’t have his fingers in a number of assassination attempts and was just… y’know to dumb to match his own ambitions I’d feel sorry for him. On the bright sight Qin Xin just made enemies with the man sleeping next to her.

Wherever this ends up I hope we get to see Qin Xin trying to pacify Gu Jing because whatever feelings he had were crushed by her threat.

Hearing Qin Zhun lamenting his money, it feels like Gu King is such a monster. No need to love his concubine because of his impotence, but she’s the only one who has invested funds in his success at his lowest points. They really can’t separate at this point whether they like it or not. Living in a loveless marriage with no mutual respect is sometimes worse

Gu Jing is dumb, stupid and has inferiority comple.

Hmm, Gu Jing should just take the chance to be Feudal king and settle as a Wangye instead of aiming for the throne. There, he and Win Xin can be as lovey dovey as they like

You got yourself into this mess. Should have kicked Li Erya out. But greed got you and now you’ll suffer.
Katarzyna Kadej
Exactly.
Her biol parents were greedy when they wanted to sell mc as a bride, which started the problem; marquis let her stay just bcs of the engagement with prince, but it didn’t cross his mind what princey might think when he’d know “qin xin’s” true origin.
I bet his love was also so “strong” bcs she had qin surname – having a village girl who’s adopted by qin’s as a consort (higher status than a regular concubine), even if princey treats qin’s as cash cow, he’d definitely feel like qin’s are trying to deceive him.

I originally thought Yun Jiao’s whole family would go to the border and just hadn’t set off yet, but this is better. It’s good that Xiao Jiu has a friend now.
Phuong-Vi Phan
When generals goes to the borders with troops, their family must live in the capitals. basically, until the general return the troop command token, the family are hostages to make sure they don’t rebel while having an army in their hands. The only rare time when the entire family move is that the general guarding the border is also a Qin Wang (first rank prince) and that border region is their granted fief. If that’s the case, the entire family move there and will live there permanently for all generations and cannot leave unless summon back by the emperor.

I think that gu jing got the throne only with help of Yan prince (country) but as emperor said, those people are ambitious and wouldn’t let any opportunity just pass by, so gj most likely didn’t enjoy his position for a long time.

So out of 500,000 taels gathered, Marquis Qin contributed 250,000.
Isn’t Lord Cheng’en the grandfather and should contribute more?

Bringing 2 carriages and 10 servants with her, not being able to wear this season’s clothes (only last year’s) doesn’t make her pitiful. I think empress already forgot how MC had to run for her life and wasn’t welcomed even by her blood related family.
Plus I have that kind of thought in the back of my head that she might get interested in MC’s man, and emperor being “soft” both for his gullible outdated mother and this “niece” he hasn’t seen yet is worrisome.
He can be sorry for his sister. But his niece isn’t her. I hope he won’t make any stupid decision. ????

kyotot
I have a bad feeling about this!?
Kuroneko_chan
Sounds like the horse department is full of corruption and embezzlement. Can’t imagine Qin Zhun being honest in this dept. I’m going to guess the reason he stopped going to Qin Jiu is bc he is embezzling from the horse dept. But I can’t quite figure out why he went to the grandmother. I mean, I know he is going to lie to her, but for what purpose? For complaining about being unable to establish an heir or is he going to say he noticed the horse dept had been embezzled dried so he used their family’s money to refill it? But I get the feeling either way, he will make it seem like the 3 siblings were bad and at fault and have the grandmother pressure Qin Jiu to give all those properties back. Hmmm ?
But we all know Qin Jiu is not stupid. The dumba$$ Qin Zhun will just fail.
Eretria
Since he got the job from Gu Jing’s maternal grandfather it’s possible that the horse-treasury really is empty but I think it’s just an excuse to fool the old lady and get her dowry.

Ok, I got the embezzlement correct but did not expect this reason why he is asking the grandmother. Wow, he is so selfish! Most ppl want to help the younger generation to succeed, but apparently not him. Well, it’s not going to work. Qin Jiu would never let her brother do it.
Eretria
Actually this is super easy to solve. Return the Marquis title to the first branch, Zening should have inherited it in the first place and let Qin Zhun receive whatever punishment his embezzlement warrants. No need to lose the ancestors’ title and Grandma will be able to face her husband in the afterlife.
Ofc… I‘ve little expectations for Grandma Qin at this point but it doesn’t matter anyway. No way Jiu would let this shit happen. Actually.. I think even if Zening could be convinced the emperor wouldn’t allow it. ‘-‘

It’s so disturbing to me how she doesn’t realize how bad of a person she is and instead believes everyone around her is antagonizing her. I mean, she could have prevented all those women from getting r*ped but instead she chose not to stop it and use it for her personal gain. She’s an evil person, fully rotten inside, yet somehow she’s deluded herself to think she’s all good and mighty, that everything she’s done is ok. She has no compassion for all those innocent people hurt by her deeds, that’s true villainy if you ask me.
Eretria
Well Xin already somehow killed the grandfather so I’m not surprised she’d sacrifice grandma too…
But there’s not much to gain. Say Su-shi successfully murders Grandma Qin and Qin Zhou get’s released. He wouldn’t be cleared of the crime, just pardoned, so her reputation as his “daughter” would still be affected and the support she had through him is lost either way. If Su-shi fails to kill Grandma Qin (actually if she succeeds too, since we know there’s no way the truth wouldn’t come out) she won’t go down silently. She may not be able to prove that Xin fed her the idea but she’d make a big enough ruckus to affect her.
Alsoo there’s no way the emperor will let Gu Jing marry his niece.
MrsBad
I think it was more likely 2nd uncle was greedy for the title and arranged the accident/illness. But I would buy being incited to do it by Xin.
Eretria
Yeah noo… even without whatever injury Gu Jing got, he no longer thinks fondly of Xin. You can forget about a royal grandson.
So Xin is sacrificing Grandma to get Gu Jing out of her room for a years… I don’t even.

Judging by how her IQ has come online and is getting up to speed nowadays, I think it’s more that she’s just sad to realize that she’s done all these things and hoping that her descendants shall live in peace in harmony but that some of these people who she’s cared for all this time just want her dead.
Her dream of a happy and harmonious family is also irreparably shattered with an attempted murder on her by her own family members and some of her grandchildren she loves choosing to defend and cover for the murderer and let her die without justice.

There’s a phrase I don’t know if you’ve heard. If you marry a dog, follow a dog. If you marry a chicken, follow a chicken.
Basically that a wife will follow her husband’s interests and believe in/share his ideas/world view.
She has indeed followed a spicy chicken (garbage) and is also one spicy chicken (garbage) too.

Wait is he aware that his wife was planning to murder his mom or not?
TheTanJar
I’m not sure he is or not but I suspect he wouldn’t stop her. I think it was Qin Xin who 100% suggested and instigated this action.
Katarzyna Kadej
Yep, she did. Madam su came to qin xin earlier to ask for prince’s money to patch up that gigantic financial hole left by previous minister and qin zhun’s gambling idiocy. And she left with the idea to kill the old lady. She was so easy to manipulate sheesh ??
Katarzyna Kadej
Did he just… that was a blackmail? Or he wanted to take 1st branch down with him? Bcs if he just tried to make his own grave even deeper, I think he succeeded.
Q: -How many times qin zhun wants to commit suicide?
A: – Yes.

Aoi Sora
Did he injure his crown jewels?
Chronos5884
As far as we can tell, Yelu Luan has cut off, possibly quite literally, his future generations.
Its to the point that Gu Jing started blasting his reputation as a total stud infatuated with his concubine, possibly to the point he might die under her skirt, to explain away why he wouldn’t spend any time with any other women in the future.
Aoi Sora
He shouldn’t have been so pretentious and just tell outright that he has no money.
Aoi Sora
i feel like high ranking slaves of nobles are like modern day assistant or secretary except not free. They probably even dress better than the “peasants ” in that period. The only drawback is your life is not in your hands.
Aoi Sora
Ah… So the smartest is the third house since they just lie low all the time.

Mind exploded!!! Even at 5 this girl was that vicious to her adopted family?!
Sara Giardina
Well she wasn’t really 5 since she was reborn with her memory of the last life. And she must have done something to prevent the grandpa to find the real granddaughter, how he did in her first life
TheTanJar
It feels especially awful to me to do that in a small child’s body I don’t know why
aelin
Typical transmigration/ rebirth. The mind often ends up adapts to the body’s age later on, but initially it is always a calculating adult in a child’s body

Poor man???
seo sujin973
Oh finally a gleam of intelligence. I’m proud of him ?. But He still too naive. His son is suggesting rebellion but he just brushed it off like a small thing.
Ever
It’s not intelligence at all, he’s loyal but brainless, like a pig teammate. He still beleived that the emperor was jealous of him, the facts did not align in any way, it was so obvious that the emporor would not have increased Zezhi’s rank if he was jealous. And it was obvious that it was his choice to divorce the wife and the emperor only agreed because he agreed.
seo sujin973
This brother of him sure like to cause trouble. He is far from you at the capitale but still you are trying to destroy is happy life.
MelayStuff
Woah bro really truing to ruin a marriage that hasn’t begun yet…
Is the father who is no longer regarded as a father legally… allowed to have an input on Zezhi’s concubine anyways?
Katarzyna Kadej
Not around Gu Zezhi. And if he’d try to, GZ would personally visit elders of the clan to “ask” for being removed from their clan, with emperor’s blessing ofc.
I’m just waiting for that moment ??

Poor kid already forgot when he chased him on horseback, dragged him back to the carriage, and handed her a whip to hit him with ????
littlevixen
That poor girl she’s literally just getting backlash because her mother is a petty idiot. That really sucks. I would have cheered if it was Qin Xin getting this treatment though.
littlevixen
So there’s possibly a white tiger chasing your brother and you want to slow down his only hope by treating it as a field trip when you barely know how to ride a horse? What are you going to do if there’s a white tiger? ??
At the same time I adore the male lead for not belittling or fighting her about it but instead making sure she stays safe as she does what she wants. ??
Fresh the First
ikr, i'm like if you're that worried, why don't you share a horse with him? What's the point of riding your own horse and make yourself a burden?

Even “his” military achievements were stolen from GZ, if he can’t be as good as 20years younger man, how there can be anything that he’d be better at than gz??
I was even wondering: how someone talented like gz could come from that kind of family?? I’m betting on madam Xiao’s family genes.

EllieKit
I hope the author doesn’t follow what other authors do and drag this out. This sort of thing doesn’t add interest, it’s just tiresome.
Kuroneko_chan
She isn’t drag things out, she is building up the downfall of the heir. We can already see how these two cousins are part of the heir’s scheme but Zezhi is aware of it and it looks like he will use them to help bring down the heir for good. I love how the author takes the time to develop the characters, including side characters who will play a pivotal role, rather than like some other authors where they don’t develop the character or just throw something out there.
Kuroneko_chan
Yes, let the truth be discovered!

Both of these idiots don’t comprehend how their calculative natures and selfishness has altered the world around themselves in a negative way. They just keep blaming others and each other. Pathetic. I want more Qin Jiu and Gu Zezhi
Kuroneko_chan
Lying seems to be second nature to Qin Xin. She easily lied to that super sus guy, not thinking he would learn of her true identity. The Second Prince becomes angry at the world after losing his manhood. And it looks like Qin Xin has not realized the 2nd prince’s condition. And that sus guy, he is so sus. Is he going to offer money to the 2nd prince in exchange for Qin Xin, cause that was what scumbag men did back on those days with their concubines (traded them with each other – so despicable!!)

Even if I read it a thousand times, I still can’t believe he let GC take all of GZ’s merits when he shed blood and sweat on the battlefield!!

Scenes like this makes me wonder, what if this happens to the main characters in other normal stories. Without a transmigrator Or reincarnator? ?
Bookwormie
Agree ? Especially those braindead characters with just heroine halo as an armor…despite their troublemaking capabilities and bad personality.
Anyway, ending meant closing of book so we gotta have to imagine the afterstory ?

I really like the Emperor and empress in this story ?. They are the best. Followed by Li Wen from one of the arcs of “Cannon Fodder’s record of counterattacks” And in third place I have the Emperor from “Marriage of Di Daughter” ???

She is crazy ?? and fearless. I think that at some point she gave up on Gu Jing. What is her plan ? Use the child to free herself and leave Gujing or to keep it a secret who is the real father and pretend it is Gu jing’s. . .?
Katarzyna Kadej
I guess it’s the second opinion. That crime is named nicely, but I forgot the phrase – in other words- giving a green hat to someone from imperial family usually ends with death.
Each step QX takes leads her to worse and worse outcome, she’s not only a calamity for others, she’s a calamity for herself ??

Suddenly, it feels so surreal. For some reason, I still see them as they were in the first half. Funny and cute. But now it suddenly changed into lovely and cute.

Old Madam Qin is the prime example of “When young you follow your father, when married you follow your husband and when you become a mother you follow your son.” Really dumber than a rock.
Chronos5884
I disagree about that being the reason that she’s dumber than a rock, but I agree that she’s pretty dumb.
She was brainwashed by the culture then, so I understand her not thinking out of the box, but truly, she dumb.
EDIT: I take everything back. I just read the next chapter. Good job Madam Qin. It seems her IQ is truly back online after waking up.
Sike_bi0tch
In fact QZ isn’t even entirely wrong. He wasted 10yrs and couldn’t get a promotion so he thought of buying it. He put money in the wrong basket(GJ) but never took a penny himself. Put down his brother’s children but never really tortured them. He just closed his eyes to his wife’s doings. He also never touched his sister-in-law’s dowry before. Even now, he made the wrong decision of nit reporting it but never really took money for himself..
In conclusion, It’s just the bad decisions. ?????
Chronos5884
Being a knowing bystander who never stepped up to help his nieces and nephews isn’t right. It’s understandable, but not necessarily the right action either.
He also never touched his sister-in-law’s dowry himself either, but he let his wife get her paws on it and also used “sea trade” to transfer wealth and properties from his deceased brother’s family away from his nephews and nieces and into his own pocket. That’s also definitely wrong.
The big problem about not reporting it is that he didn’t just not report it, he also chose to embezzle money for the prince. So he did take the money. Not for himself, but for someone else in hopes of benefits.
Sooo… no matter what we can’t deny he’s a corrupt official emptying the public’s coffers for private gain.
Sike_bi0tch
Makes me wonder, what did he eat growing up to be so stupid?
Sike_bi0tch
I always wondered, how can people understand what someone else’s thinking through their eyes? And even infer such a big sentence??
I love lollipop

I’ve experienced it a few times, I think it’s just knowing each other well
Cluckrabbit
Have no idea either. But I’m neurospicy, it comes with the operative system. ?????
Fresh the First
Probably because they've lived together long enough and they have good observation skill. Society at that time required you to be observatory to be able to survive and thrive, even with your own kins. Gu Zezhi is definitely motivated by Qin Jiu's affection so he observes her a lot. While the brother is so simply because they're her siblings who lives in the same house with her.
Sike_bi0tch
Does this Wang Ye have no subordinates? Others can investigate or receive information even if they are in another empire but this one is just, completely clueless and listens to the suspect’s words instead? Should you investigate the suspect and listen to the victim first? If the suspect is really innocent it will be known after the investigation?!?!??
Katarzyna Kadej
Moron beyond saving. That’s why GZ’s mother divorced him.
Jumella
Oh he has, but I guess they were bribed by Gu Chenzhi? Or maybe he doesn’t really wanna investigate and deep down he knows that his heir is bad but still deluding himself into thinking he’s good since “his choice should never be wrong”?

I think it’s a stability to the imperial house thing but it would also move Gu Jing to the front of being the next emperor because heirs are important however that would really only be the case if this was actually his kid which IT CANT BE~~~ and I’m guessing golden thigh will figure it out and Qin Jiu will giggle while eating melon seeds

I’m pretty sure Gu Xi is the Emperor’s nephew, so not quite grandchild, but still related.

Fluke Remz
Thanks for the update ?
Bookwormie
This looks like parents disciplining their kid ?
Edit: Their future kids should be afraid of mom as disciplinarian… while dad sell them out to mom while watching to support his wifey at side ?
Bookwormie
This is satisfying ???
Edit: This family is dumb. They kept dimissing the favored/treatment received by FL from Royal Family…also forgot that she’s legitimate niece of an Empress.
Bookwormie
Qin Zeyu realized that action speaks louder than words.
Before, Qin Xin just only talk and cry to “act” that she has affection/care for him. While, Qin Jiu can be brutal but show her care by actions.
Bookwormie
I think Gu Zezhi is also regressed…bc he ain’t surprised about Qin Xin “knowing future”. Plus, he got gun ???
MrsBad
It could be because he has an awesome poker face, but I like your idea more
Bookwormie
Poor girl…but she can only blame her mother. Mother wanted other kid to be miserable, sadly, she hit her ownself.
“Don’t do unto others what you don’t want done unto you”
Bookwormie
Gu Zhezhi is a major green flag ???
Bookwormie
Old Madam finally got “very late” realizations. Hope her character development will turn better.
Fluke Remz
Thanks for the update ?
Bookwormie
This made me realized how dumb some regressed heroines in other novels like Qin Xin…they were based their knowledge on “hearing” rumors from other people w/o knowing real issues?
Bookwormie
I like Madam Qin’ character development…but can’t fully trust her. As Mama Cui said, she’s too indecisive and wishy-washy.
Bookwormie
Who stole who? Qin Zening is top1…while Su jerk is just top 7. There’s others who can easily take the spot even without Qin Zening???
Katarzyna Kadej
Next would be a martial arts competition. While I can see that qin zening’s confidence is not just an empty word, I highly doubt that there would be only 6 guys better than sx on that competition. Since the only way he can get an advantage is through cheating…
Bookwormie
They forgot that the Empress is the aunt of the 3 siblings ???
kyotot
this is a sponsored chapter~
4/4????
once again thanks to Iratu for the kofis~
Bookwormie
Love the FL, she know how to use other’s words against them ?
kyotot
sorry this chapter was late, it was suppose to be uploaded the day before yesterday..
but our internet was cut off?? because of some cleaning operation!!
anyways, I had to double time and translate this and other more chapters for this week
kyotot
?? a toast Qin Jiu, I also usually gloss over those “unimportant” (for me) plot and went ahead to the exciting part!!??
Kuroneko_chan
If at first you don’t succeed, then try again!!! ?
Gu Jing, and all those other princes probably already knew it was a scheme, hence didn’t rush to help. Gu Jing probably wanted that connection to Yu wangye. I think Gu Jing has reached the point of committing treason for the throne, wanting the power of Yu wangye. ??
kyotot
try and try until you succeed???
Kuroneko_chan
Hm, I wonder if the OG novel Qin Jiu read was from the POV of Gu Jing? That could explain why all these ppl turned out differently. And look at innocent Zeyu, thinking it is love while the other 2 were like “no, he is too smart and ruthless to fall for such petty tricks.” ??
aelin
It was from Qin Xin’s POV mostly. Just remember in general Chinese webnovels are usually written in third person. So it’s easy enough to shift perspective and hide actual thoughts of the character and omit information that will be revealed later. It all depends on how well the author knows to tell a story
Katarzyna Kadej
Or the author of that story was a enemy’s spy…
Just kidding ??
Bookwormie
I’m more leaning on guessing that Gu Zhezhi being regressed too…he knew many things ???
I love lollipop
If he regressed, he would have avoided his initial injury, would have avoided his mother’s poisoning, to me Jiu is still the most existential factor here, she’s the one that really changed the game, even with him
Fluke Remz
Same for me Xiao Jiu ? I also skip the not interesting plot ?
Thanks for the update ?
kyotot
i may or may not be able to upload chapters next week due to personal reason..
enjoy the chapter????
Fluke Remz
Take care translator-nim ?
Mara
Take your time and look out for yourself.
?????? Thx for the chapter
EllieKit
I hope whatever the reason you need to delay, it’s something simple and easy to overcome. Stay safe, and look after yourself first. it’s better we have to wait a while for a chapter than having you drop the novel all together because of burn-out.
Danni4
Thanks for the chapter! Take your time, we’ll be here refreshing the page until you get back haha
Fluke Remz
Thanks for the update ?
Bookwormie
These girls hitting their own feet due to overthinking ? Empress already said that no one will be married to Yan…also, they won against so why need to sacrifice a Princess? As ML said, they don’t need to follow demands of enemy country who lost.
They really belittled the intelligence of Emperor ????
Katarzyna Kadej
In this story everyone is underestimating the emperor and empress, all the time (everyone in meaning those who play their little mind games and think that no one can see them through ??????)
2nd prince who’s not hiding his plans at all, ministers who jump in front of emperor like mad fleas, going against his words – reading about them I was like: are you all bored of your lives already?? Where does your courage came from?? Even that su guy who was so sure that emperor will pardon his son just bcs he cried with fake tears and tried to use concubine’s tricks – what the fluff was that ?
In empress case: concubines and princesses who like harem’s intrigues or like to play a white lotuses/green teas.
Everyone forgot that imperial couple (emperor even more) has to be respected.
And both emperor and empress are just watching this circus… ?
Bookwormie
This is funny how Qin Xin thought she got rebirth cheats…without knowing behind the scene details (only heard from rumors of public) ?
Bookwormie
He as an Emperor (non-lead) is actually good…one of the wisest Father Emperors in the C-novel world with eagle eyes who can detect schemes.
I love lollipop
Yes. I really like him
Bookwormie
I’m still curious on what happened to 1st Prince, as cliche as it sounds, is there any chances that ML is that prince? Esp with Duan Wang Ye neglecting him and favoring his concubine-born child ???
I love lollipop
His mother doesn’t seem to be type to cheat or keep such a secret
Sang Mi Lee
The 1st prince is the eldest son of the emperor and the empress who died early. It was stated in the beginning of the novel.
Sang Mi Lee
The 1st prince is the eldest son of the emperor and the empress who died early. It was stated in the beginning of the novel. It was until few years later that the empress could give birth to Gu Zhen.
Nefrit_Poison
Poor geez, she definitely wasn’t going to get married. Maybe now she’ll decide that being a Taoist nun isn’t so bad?
Nefrit_Poison
I have an idea. For example, make dummy tablets from safe herbs. And replace the pills that the emperor takes with them, and if he gets better, then the previous ones were clearly poisonous
Nefrit_Poison
Poor heroine, she definitely wasn’t going to get married. Maybe now she’ll decide that being a Taoist nun isn’t so bad?
Bookwormie
Qin Zhening was also unknowingly bribed by bro-in-law’s sweet words ?
Bookwormie
Grass root ?
Bookwormie
This family is so disgusting. Their mentality and logic hurt my brain… labelling Qin Jiu as “white eyed-wolf” and thinking she should thanked them is a big joke ?? They stole her life, abused and sold her to be someone’s wife.
Bookwormie
Qin Xin forgot that she’s the real daughter of this couple…including the birthdate and family name should belonged to her.
So it meant she will marry the Xu guy instead of QinJiu? ??? Qin Xin is so dvmb that she forgot that Qin Jiu is so smart and brave…no way pushover ??
Bookwormie
I knew it Empress playing matchmaker again ?
Nefrit_Poison
her walk is very cute
Nefrit_Poison
Qin Gui can now easily say that she will not marry the second prince, since her sister is already with him, and she does not think this is very good. Let these two enjoy each other’s company
Bookwormie
The Uncle is so greedy that will be the reason of his downfall. He already good business in sea trade, a Marquis title with no other members trying to steal it, solo leadership in family (despite being 2nd born)…in-law to Empress, etc
He already got stable position that will make him comfortable life. He didn’t need to worry about position, even his sons and nephews got good futures for Qin family to continue its legacy.
Bookwormie
So Qin Zhun was basically scammed…?
Bookwormie
I think the OG novel plot got more additional details…I bet Wang Yu not only slained ML, maybe he even dethroned Gu Jing as emperor after esp with Gu Jing’s shallow logic and mentality.
Bookwormie
Zhao Man is no doubt Qin Xin’s biological mother. Their mentality and logic are twisted.
Chronos5884
I have moments of pity for Qin Xin due to this. She was like… 7 or 8 the first life where she was in the family with grandfather Marquis but showed up at 4… so at best she had 3-4 years with the chance of getting an education on decent morality…
But then she’s sent back with her parents who don’t understand the concept of “my own fault” and “that which doesn’t belong to you is not yours to take” and is raised with them from ages 7/8 for the rest of her life.
There really wasn’t much chance of her being a decent person when her family examples were Li Jinzhu and Zhao Aman
Of course, I just pity her because I understand that. She has done many bad things and committed many crimes. The people she hurt also deserve justice. So I pity her, but would never want her to get away with it or escape the consequences of her actions.
If you do bad things, you should be punished for it. I just hope in another life she gets a blank slate reincarnation into a family that could and would teach her proper morals and self responsibility.
Bookwormie
Qin Jiu getting profits without moving her fingers ?
Bookwormie
Well, at least Qin Jiu get the DNA from her Grandpa ?
Bookwormie
Well, this prob the Wang Yu’s daughter ? I’m too confident on ML’s attitude…that I don’t doubt him even if this County Princess will be interested with him ?
Bookwormie
I’m ready to write long paragraph full of muted words ?… good thing Grandma’s character development didn’t fail us???
Bookwormie
Qin Jiu is the brain and negotiator
Qin Zening is the protector and echo supporter
Meanhwhile…Qin Zeyu is the cheerleader on background ?
Bookwormie
Qin Ze Yu’s training was put on good use ?…he’s their certified runner/messenger now
Bookwormie
I think Qin Jiu is also the same soul of original owner (maybe just forgot it)…bc I can’t remember reading about her previous life? ???
Chronos5884
She mentioned that she’d been reading a book that had a villainess with the same name as her. (This book was recommended to her by a relative).
She skimmed through the whole thing including all about how the FL sold misery and yada yada yada without mention at all of the original owner’s sufferings. What she read was about how the original owner was vicious and selfish and ruthless and ultimately got her bad end of being hated by everyone in her family (except Qin Zening) and the sweet and innocent FL then married her ML, had a grand wedding and (supposedly) lived happily ever after.
Because it was a story of a regressor (someone who was reborn into their own younger body instead of reborn as a baby somewhere), we also got a glimpse of the original timeline before the FL regressed.
Suuper Bravo
All old people in this novel seems like have
early or mid stage of demencia, it’s sad to look at.
Bookwormie
In short, Qin Xin is the source of Marquis family’s demise.
Bookwormie
This guy got same mentality as Qin Zhun, they are both greedy and overthinkers. They already got the position and status but still paranoid and kept choosing own path of demise.
Bookwormie
Sow discord? Y’all forgot that even before going to capital, Gu Zhezhi and mother already complained on assassination plan by his older brother ????
Bookwormie
Glad that Fang Hanjun is good person. I hope she got happiness solo (Emperor backing her)…or marriage (there so many good bachelors in this novel)
Bookwormie
It’s funny how Gu Jing always easily fall to schemes ???
Katarzyna Kadej
And he still thinks that he’s the smartest of them all.

that’s why I hate how a man think in ancient time! they put too much responsibilities on a woman’s shoulder but can disregard them any time they want just because she is a woman!! come on!!
Meow
We are a much too selfish existence… Unfortunately
aelin
Thanks for the chapter!!
aelin
If strength is what works in ancient times then of course it’s a double edged sword. This shirking of burdens to women in the name of whatever bullshit the current generation comes up with is just another example. It’s when a group is considered weak is when it is treated like a prey, which has been the case for women in many societies. There are at least some hopeful examples too.
aelin
I guess I’m omitting a lot of context in that comment. It makes much more sense if you’ve watched Philosophy Tube’s video on ‘The Hidden Rules of Modern Society’ on YT
kyotot
“People in this world will never know how painful others are feeling until they experience the pain themselves.”
I truly agree with the emperor, this so true even in real life.. maybe because people are just selfish..

Now, I wonder if it was really Gu Xi’s child…hmmm
Kuroneko_chan
Or is she really NOT pregnant? ?
Phuong-Vi Phan
It’s his
aelin
Here he’s suggesting to her that she should do something about it. Doesn’t seem promising
Phuong-Vi Phan
He has lots of kids, which is basically normal for ancient time princes. They start learning about it at 13-14, there’s also special maids given by their parents for them to experiment and learn. It’s normal to have a few kids at 15-ish. It is also expected because royals must always have plenty of heirs
aelin
It’s not an imposing attitude which makes you capable, it’s actually having the ability to achieve your goals that determines it. Both of them are failing on both counts
Andrew McMullin
Agree, Wang Yu is an idiot who thinks he’s impressive because he was born into wealth and power. That’s why he’s a follower in both time lines not a lead.
Fluke Remz
Thanks for the update ?
EllieKit
I’m pretty sure Gu Xi doesn’t know that Qin Xin’s child is his. Otherwise, he would be using that to force Qin Xin to do his bidding.
Katarzyna Kadej
I think he knows but he doesn’t care bcs he has many children already and idiot prince is willing to cooperate with them, so he doesn’t need to use more tricks.
On the other side, if idiot prince would know who’s the child’s father, he might get pissed off and attack/kill GX aka their cooperation wouldn’t work according to their wish. So what he said to that tang girl I interpret as “get rid off it”.
Chronos5884
Funny thing is, he doesnt know Gu Jing is a eunuch now, so no matter what, that Tang girl cant bear him children.
Andrew McMullin
Tang Fengchun needs to actually use her observations instead of just thinking about them. Go send a secret letter to the Empress asking for protection after your husband falls in return for being one of the Emporers people. Hell, ask the Empress to send you an agent pretending to be a maid. Then you won’t even have to do anything risky yourself.
kyotot
Yeah, Gu Jing is certified stupid and desperate!

sorry the chapter is late, cuz i fell asleep, once again i got flu!

Yeah why would they be willing to remove an imperial concubine who’s pregnant with the first born in the generation from their family record without any benefits
mamabug
Except Qin Zening is one of the good guys so I expect this is on advice from our FL and ML.
Katarzyna Kadej
We’re talking about qin xin here. Having her in their family register for so long was like holding a ticking time bomb in hands. Not mentioning that siblings knows what’s happening in 2nd prince house and that qin xin’s kid is not his but it was introduced as 1st grandson of emperor. That’s a crime against imperial family and qin xin would pay with her head if I’d went public at that moment. Not only her but also her “natal family” would be held accountable. Why qin family (including mc and her brothers) has to pay for something greedy and brainless outsider qin xin did? She killed old man qin (MC’s grandfather), wanted to see grandma qin death (the person who literally raised her since she was a child), she took half a million from her adopted father emptying qin’s funds and gave it to “bottomless pit” 2nd prince (if mc wouldn’t keep an eye on the situation it would get worse than that). She’s like a walking calamity and if they won’t cut her off, in the moment of her demise she’ll do everything to drag qins to hell with her.
I’m only waiting when sh!t will hit the fan. There’s no way to hide that kind of information (fruit of cheating presented as imperial family’s grandkid) so emperor wouldn’t know. Ml already knows, it’s only a matter of time when emperor will know too… I guess he’s aware of everything but patiently waits, makes more traps and wants to get rid off all the cockroaches at once.
Fluke Remz

kyotot
sorry~ late chapter >.<" enjoy!!
Kuroneko_chan
I seriously just don’t understand how that family keep forgetting that their maternal aunt is the empress. The family should’ve been supporting the 6th prince from the beginning!
mamabug
Well, in the beginning, the 2nd prince was favored and older and the Emperor was sick and might not make it to when he could hand power to the 6th prince so there wasn’t really a struggle between the two. Also, Zening was underage and not the Marquis and the person they thought was the daughter of the first family was engaged to the 2nd prince. It was logical for the family to support him under those circumstances, however it just took time for them to realize the situation was changed.
Katarzyna Kadej
They don’t follow the latest news or just don’t think about it. Like that elder who at least added 2 and 2 in the end.
Previous marquis supported 2nd prince?but in the end he lost a lot of money, his title and was exiled?now 2nd prince lost emperor’s favor?new marquis is 6th prince’s cousin?he will support 6th prince, not 2nd prince and qin xin who stole his sister’s identity? oh, we have to change sides now… ????????
Since they’re making significant decisions regarding the whole clan they should be up to date with the political changes, that were known for MONTHS, hands down ?
kyotot
Qin Xin, Qin Xin, why choose this path?! Just how selfish can you be?!

Qin Xin is so stupid and selfish tsk tsk ?

For once the character is smart and quickly makes the guess that they were switched
MelayStuff
I want to give grandma a comforting pat. I mean who would expect that a small child that for YEARS you believed to be your own murdered your husband.
Emmanuelle Mestres
It’s 5 years difference. Once she’s past 18 the age difference won’t be seen. I’m 5 years younger than my husband.
Fluke Remz
Pitiful Grandma
Shameless girl
Thankfully Qin Jiu is smart
Emmanuelle Mestres
She had many other ways to change her faith but she chose the worst.
aelin
It’s tiring reading from the perspective of a person who goes to such length with their self deception and delusions
Emmanuelle Mestres
Wait t’il she learns that the empress and emperor are deciding Qin Jiu’s mariage.
Emmanuelle Mestres
I think old madam Qin is a naïve person and the shrewd one was her husband. After all in the first time line he discovered the switch after only three years. And mayhap that Qin Xin wasn’t sent into exile with her family just because of them.
Emmanuelle Mestres
She seems to have forgotten all thé shemes she did against Qin Jiu that nearly ruined her. Of course they wouldn’t treat her well after that.
seo sujin973
She is a big joke.
seo sujin973
I never see someone this shameless !
It’s like she has amnesia. All the bad things she has done so far are like a dream that she easily forgot about. ? this is madness
Emmanuelle Mestres
They go so good together lol. Luckily he insited getting involved with her and the Empress misunderstood her haha
Emmanuelle Mestres
Gu Jing is a fool
Emmanuelle Mestres
Yelu Luan’s plan was not bad but he mistakenly considered Gu Zhezi the same as Gu Jing. A big mistake
Emmanuelle Mestres
I knew it would go like this. Qin Xin forgot that they were switched. Obviouslly to no bé found out all the information wouldnhave to be swithched too including the gentie. It’s even better for Qin Jiu that the gentie was exchanged since it’s not hers.
Emmanuelle Mestres
If he became like this twards her because he became impotent or an enuch than either hé never really loves her or her réaction when she found out caused a rift
Emmanuelle Mestres
At this rate she would be better off with the fool given she had completely offended Gu Jing. Just how does she think she’s going to avoid his wrath? He can always have her fall sick and die after a while. She’s clearly not vert smart.
Emmanuelle Mestres
Hahaha Qin Juie knows her Gu Zhezi Well
Emmanuelle Mestres
Thumbd up for grandma Qin
Emmanuelle Mestres
So the uncle was basicaly scammed by those whom hé bought thé position from
Emmanuelle Mestres
No way!!! They’re contemplating killing grandma Qin!
Emmanuelle Mestres
Madame Su really thinks she Can get away with it when they are already under investigation, are in the limelight because of all that happened before and there is no reason for Grandma Qin to suddenlly die.
Emmanuelle Mestres
I just looked up oleander and it’s real toxic.
Emmanuelle Mestres
I just looked up oleander and it’s really toxic

I’m 99 % sure it’s going to be Wang Yu’s son. And Wang Yu’s going to be dragged down by his children lol
Emmanuelle Mestres
It’s not going to end well for them.
Emmanuelle Mestres
They thaught he would save Miss Tango but he would rather let her drown lol. Besides there are servants to do that.
Emmanuelle Mestres
Tang girl is smarter. It’s not that the emperor can’t refuse. It’s that he’s punishing both parties with the marriage. Just like he did for princess Yungluo and princess Changning
Emmanuelle Mestres
I can’t wait for more. Qin Xin is completely delusional.
kyotot
that’s right Zening, death is too easy.. Better let her live and let her feel that dying is better than living!!

You know, she might indeed have been Heaven’s chosen child. Right up until she decided to become a murderer at the age of 5. Bet the heavens dropped her faster than a piece of red hot metal.

Author basically telling us Zezhi knows most if not all the truth about Qin Xin’s pregnancy.
Katarzyna Kadej
If 2nd prince got stabbed in his intimate area and didn’t want imperial physicians to see that… what he wanted to hide from emperor? And adding 2+2… (both gu zezhi and emperor are not stupid)
Kuroneko_chan
She did such awful things but yet she thinks she is justified in her actions. Just awful.
Also, now I’m super curious who is the baby daddy???? Doesn’t seem to be whatever that traitorous prince is.
Mara
She meet a men at the tempel (when she wanted to meet her grandma) who was nice to her. And later after a fight with the prince she meet him again and i think this is the father of her child
Kuroneko_chan
Really??? I need to go back and reread!
mamabug
IIRC, I think he is the son or something of the guy who is kinda quasi-rebelling (Wang Yu?)
Kuroneko_chan
Was that who she met at the temple? I originally thought it was him but after that one chapter, I didn’t think it was him.
Chronos5884

People like her are demon?. They have no boundaries and no conscience at all. They can kill you with a smile and blame you that it is your fault that she has to kill you. She could have react differently after her reborn. But she decided to kill people. Nothing can be hide forever. Nothing.

Qin Zeyu’s expression became very strange: was his sister addicted to reporting to the authorities?!
Other readers and I: Yes, especially when she has Empress Aunt Wei on her side.

“An Ren is so beautiful that every time he walks, the old woman throws a cart full of fruit.”
Me: I am surprised no beautiful man died under fruit attacks yet in ancient time. Coz no idiom to rebuke above idiom.

yay, reach the final update. Let me go cry silently while browsing the internet.

really this people just transform themselves into someone very despicable and change into someone they themselves don’t recognize just for what? fame and wealth? tsk tsk.. and Zhao Aman expect her daughter will save her… first mistake she made was when she gave her child away for something they should not have!

It’d be too good for her to die now. She’s doing so much mess that sooner or later it will drag her to hell, all mc and others has to do is gather the evidence of her crimes and give it to emperor. No need to dirty their hands.

Katarzyna Kadej
Those three, gu xi, duan rou, and tang girl came to check the waters in capital under the guise of “meeting their grandmother in the palace” (previous emperor’s consort, mother of greedy idiot Wang Yu) and tried to get gu zezhi on their side earlier (by using a cheap trick) but shortsighted 2nd prince used that “opportunity”. While gu xi himself got close to qin … -2nd prince’s concubine the vixen and impostor (I forgot her name already ?) and had s€ggs with her making her pregnant. So “emperor’s first grandson” is his kid.
(While he doesn’t care about the kid nor he’s planning to use it since he told the tang girl who will be 2nd prince’s legal wife soon (or already is) to get rid off the unborn child).
kyotot
I just hate this Duan Rou and pity her at the same time with her naivety..
Katarzyna Kadej
Somehow… I’m waiting to see her shocked pikachu face after the bubble of arrogance she lived in through her whole life will burst. That will be a very interesting view ?
seo sujin973
This family is really shameless. They are cruel to the point that they are hopeless only death is the solution.
Kuroneko_chan
Duan Rou is so arrogant to the point that it makes her stupid. Gu Xi is more cautious and thoughtful.
Katarzyna Kadej
But still an idiot. In what world he thought that he could play around like this under emperor’s nose and still believed that no one will find out?? This emperor is not the same as previous incompetent one, and I think that both gu xi and wang yu didn’t even thought about that possibility – they based their prediction of emperor’s strength basing on few brainless fleas jumping around in the court. They should be more cautious since they planned to revolt and take the throne- they’re not competent enough even to make proper plans (?´?-???-?`???)
Or maybe I got used to read about more intelligent and successful villains…
Fluke Remz
Is Gu Xi the father of that pregnant girl a few chapters ago?
EllieKit
Yes, all hints point toward him being the father of Qin Xin’s baby.
Fluke Remz

I cant wait for that decree to show up.
Chronos5884
Finally! Ive been waiting for the hammer and its about to come down!
Chronos5884
*sigh*
I hope the poor girl gets out of this… wait, i just remembered who she was! Qin Sheng is that btch who tried to get Qin jiu to go do painting and poetry knowing she’d literally just left the countryside a few days ago and then tried to make a fool of her and believed the stuff about QJ being a disaster star who caused all their family to be exiled and wished she never came back!
Oh, nvm. Have fun Qin Sheng!
Though i still feel bad for her.
Katarzyna Kadej
Without the last sentence, I agree with you. Anything that came from that aunt su and her husband and was raised by them, will never be a good person.
Chronos5884
Overworked…? Perhaps there’s something around her that’s constantly stimulating her mind or making it hard for her to sleep?
Side-eyes the incense.
After all… if you can’t get a good rest, you’ll naturally be fatigued. If it’s chronic…
Wouldn’t that be similar to being overworked?
Chronos5884
Hehehe. What can I say…?
If the elders agree, they get 200 acres to help out the clan members who are struggling on top of the lonely single acre they have. That’s a 20,000% increase!
Why should they disagree? It’s not their personal property that’s being divided after all 🙂

I should just whip this chapter out whenever I want to diet. Urgh…
Chronos5884
Oh, bless your little heart, Yelu Luan. Don’t worry your silly little head about a thing, I’ll put it in plainer words for you:
Turnabout is fair play.
If you dare to start it, you should be prepared if others decide to end it.
Chronos5884
I kind of feel like the only way Madame Su can get Qin Sheng out of this is to either send her away, or deal strongly with the scholar and ruin him thoroughly.
Possibly by:
– making him a criminal
– making him notorious in another way
– crippling him (sexually as him being unable to get it up to make children is actually one of the few grounds for divorce usually available to women in ancient china)
– or killing him
Feels like a lot of popcorn/melon seeds is needed. But also hope nobody innocent gets caught in the crossfire.
Katarzyna Kadej
1 and 4 is more probable. In 2nd and 3rd case QS would still have to marry him and then eventually divorce him, but it wouldn’t happen immediately. Marrying that guy would ruin qs’s reputation, being a divorced woman would make it even worse. She wouldn’t be able to find a guy from a proper family as next husband bcs no one with status, wealth and from capital would want her as a wife. Even taking her as a concubine… I guess that guy would have a few concubines already and that kind of scenario is not what QS wants.
If that guy would kill someone and get caught, he’d be sentenced to death – end of a problem; if he dies in an “accident” for example, that also solves everything. She’d be only engaged and people would gossip about her for some time then forget about it.
But the main point is that no matter what plan would they have, to achieve a success they can’t get caught… which with their intelligence and lack of “good luck” (??)… yeah, I wonder if that is possible.
?? I’ll get some snacks in advance ??
Chronos5884
Hahaha, those poor fools. They dug their own graves so enthusiastically.
I pity them not at all 🙂
(Northern Yan Yelu Luan and Gu Jing)
Chronos5884
Yeah, I’d say Old Madam Qin is a bit naive and extremely reluctant to think badly of the people around her.
She’s soft-hearted, easily manipulated, muddle-headed, and indecisive, but I can understand that because I’m similar. Fortunately I’m aware of my flaws and I’ve managed to avoid complicated social things in general.
It shows that she was raised well-cared for by the people around her in general and probably didn’t come from a family that had as much scheming and fighting. Unfortunately, it also means that she has a lot of trouble seeing through the people around her and doesn’t guard against the people around her.
Chronos5884
Hearing about Gu Zezhi’s background humanizes him but also….
That incense…
I’m worried about it. Also all the stuff she “uses daily” or uses regularly. After all, we know she’s been a sick lady for a long time and suspect poison and such.
Chronos5884
I’m suspecting that incense yo. Throw it out!
Or at least check all your stuff!
Chronos5884
It’s the incense!!!!
Chronos5884
Ah good, she’s caught on!
Chronos5884
Lmao…. ruining the aesthetics of the poor plum branches hahaa.
Oh well, at least they’ll make a flower arrangement setting if there are some spares.
Chronos5884
My god… what’s he saying…? Right here at an imperial banquet? Someone kick him to the curb already! Separate our poor Duan Wang Fei and MC from this idiot?
What if his idiocy is contagious!?
Well, not really, but he’s definitely a pig teammate and I hate seeing him drag them down.
Katarzyna Kadej
At some point I was wonder how f brainless that guy can be and every time he opens his mouth more bs is coming out -how anyone can be so f ret@rded??
And then I remembered: he’s emperor’s UNCLE. Younger BROTHER of previous dumb as f emperor! Now I know where their ret@rdation came from!
Chronos5884
The Xinjiang region… hm… where was Prince Yeluluan’s Yan kingdom again..? And that eldest son supposedly had something to do with foreign enemies…? Oh.
Hurry up and separate the family! Don’t be implicated by this idiot and his “beloved son”
Chronos5884
Divorce!
Divorce this bastard! Kick him to the curb! Let him go play with his traitorous beloved son!
Bah!
Chronos5884
GOOD! DUMP HIS STUPID A**!
Chronos5884
Upper thigh… upper thigh… is it what I hope it is!?
Yelu Luan… were you secretly the hero we needed all along? Saving all the good girls from scumbag Gu Jing!?
Yelu Luan if you’ve just done what I hope you’ve done, I can forgive some of the past for sure! I can also wholeheartedly applaud you like a seal for it. Hell, I’d buy you drinks for that!
Course, it’s quite possible you won’t have long to live after that, but who says we can’t pour a few out at your grave or bring you some drinks in prison 😀
Chronos5884
I’m glad Old Madam Qin has finally woke up.
Chronos5884
Mistress Qin! Top boss of the Silk-Pants Gang! Niece of the Empress herself!
Whip them more ah!
EllieKit
I am confused, but I’m sure it’ll be cleared up next chapter.
Chronos5884
I feel like I’ve developed some bad tastes. I’m over here banging my bowl going
“Separate! Separate! Separate!”
and
“Did Qin Jiu separate the family today?”
Aiya… Here I am advocating for divorce and family separation. What has the world come to…?
Oh well! Separate! Separate! Separate!
Chronos5884
Yay! They did it! Separated! Huzzah!
Chronos5884
Heeh, Qin Xin truly dug her grave. The ones who pushed the emperor to the throne was the Marquis she killed. The family she’s attached to is stupid and short-sighted while the family the emperor appreciates now only has 2 young men and a young woman, who Qin Xin and the Su family have been going against.
Looking for death, for sure.
Chronos5884
I’m rolling ?
She’s got the delicate little flower in the downpour going strong hahaha
Man, sure sucks to be wronged like that doesn’t it Qin Zhun?
Taking all the blame and being unable to justify yourself, like how you were trying to make Qin Zhening take all the blame?
I know that it’s difficult for you to relate or think well of your nephew but hey, now you can savor the flavor.
Hehehe… Also, I hope Old Madam Qin makes the right call. It’s true that living here is not as free and easy as living separately.
Chronos5884
Oh, but I find her lively personality far more entertaining than a demure flower raised only in a greenhouse and little pot trapped in the backyard, ah.
My eyes appear to have been glued shut too, but ah well. I’m okay with this lol.
Chronos5884
Hahaha, Gu Zezhi opens his mouth and its an insta-kill.
Chronos5884
Amaziiinggg!!!
Chronos5884
Hey, the death-seeking here is real. Looks like he (Qin Zhun) isn’t satisfied if he isn’t teasing a wild tiger in the mountains.
Chronos5884
I recommend either clearing out the harem and the murderous people there, or sending the empress to go visit Gu Zhezi’s mother or something to avoid schemes for a bit.
Actually no, I’m worried someone will get up to something and try to frame them. Urghhh
Chronos5884
Ick, don’t tell me it’s something ridiculous like using human blood in medicine or something.
Even if there are antibodies, the heat of boiling medicine would likely kill and denature a lot of proteins and things and also… ick.
God I hope I’m just crazy paranoid or something.
Fluke Remz
I wonder what’s their plan to Gu xi and his fam ?
Chronos5884
Hey, there was the horse plague indeed. Someone else called it.
Heehee, and I bet the ones who handled the horses were Gu Chengzi and Gu Jing’s people 🙂
Also, sweet! I was waiting for that brick to fall on Yelu Luan and Gu Jing’s heads! So happy to see it fall finally!
Chronos5884
Heehee, I had a feeling this would come up. After all, since you already managed to get ahold of some “top secret” things, how can we let you freely return to bring this information back?
Chronos5884
Yes, your country needs rest, so why are you giving the enemy better weapons and advantages instead of trying to increase your advantages to keep them at a disadvantage so they won’t fight you?
Katarzyna Kadej
Fellow reader, meet the idiot gu jing.
Chronos5884
Well, at least he wasn’t actually stupid enough to hand over the real blueprint based on the one he got… but still… real dumb.
Katarzyna Kadej
I’m starting to doubt it. The one who changed the real blueprint with fake one was gu zezhi. When he saw the blueprint that gu jing gave to prince yelu it was exactly the same drawing he – gzh made; so if gu zezhi wasn’t prepared for this scenario in advance gu jing would give the real blueprint to yelu.
Chronos5884
I think Gu Zhen is also the best option, because our ML can be the regent and his teacher to guide him well. With the ML and General Yu and our modern day MC and all her connections and schemes, they can protect him and make aggressive moves when necessary and handle such things. Gu Zhen and our ML are also more likely to leave things to professionals in their fields rather than assuming they know best and insisting on going their own way even in the face of contrary advice and evidence.
Kuroneko_chan
The epitome of a plan having gone wrong. Consort Fang is by no means innocent. She lost her backing and so looked like she went quiet but in reality, she was just hiding. So this would be called karma.
Chronos5884
Cute Cute Cute! Duan Zezhi showing his loneliness to get Qin Jiu’s sympathy and her trying her best to cheer him up with her handmade candies! Cute!
As long as I manage to selectively forget other things at least there’s a sweet taste at the end. Assuming it can be tasted over the burning spiciness of rage 🙂
Chronos5884
Hahaha, Gu Zezhi actually said what I was thinking!
I was like… Gu Jing…? Learn…? Hey, is that possible..?
Chronos5884
Haha, both brothers will help Zhezhi count the money!
Chronos5884
Yelu Luan, you may be a villain, but youre certainly a hero to many unlucky novlw women right now haha
Chronos5884
I dont know why i have a feeling that the possibility of having a stand-in on the wedding night is non-zero
Chronos5884
Sister in law Fang, is rhat you? Zening’s future wifey?
Chronos5884
The more i think about it, the more Qin Xin reminds me of a narcissist I know with delusions and compulsive lying (clinically diagnosed).
He lies constantly and gets caught all the time but cannot and will not change. Because he always believes what he says is truth. In the face of evidence he will choose to believe he’s still right and so its impossible to change him or for him to get better. He doesn’t think there’s anything wrong with him and doesn’t believe he’s lying. That’s why hes considered delusional.
As far as anyone can tell, he can’t change and his only chance of “waking up” is for him to hit the wall super hard at the right time, in the right place, with the right mindset, and the right people around him after hitting the wall many times in a row.
There’s nothing his family can do and we can only hope he wakes up before he does anything irreversible.

It's not helped by the "chosen one" mantra she has in her head: I was reborn to "reclaim" everything the rightful daughter stole from me. Imagine if she'd been more compassionate and helped the family find their rightful daughter- both of them could've been lavished with love and affection.

Some people (and greedy idiots) learn only when lying in their coffin.
Kuroneko_chan
She was that confident bc the previous emperor was that in love with her. It sounded like if he hadn’t died at just that moment, Wang Yu would’ve become an emperor by the emperor’s last dying words.

Katarzyna Kadej
“Duan wang holds a large army near the border and it was no exaggeration to say that duan wang was the local emperor on the western border… ” with that idiot causing problems, not even mentioning how blind and foolish he is, gcz, do you really think that it will last forever? He’s still in his position just bcs he’s loyal, but the same can’t be said about you. What’s more the reason for the divorce was the poisoning you did and that trash trying to protect you. Knowing what happened, in what world emperor would let you take over the army after that idiot?
The heir status? Be my guest and take it, as the whole clan it’s worthless anyway.
The army? Dream on bish.
Katarzyna Kadej
Ah seriously, what would they do without quick-witted Qin Jiu?? Her ideas just now we’re brilliant? ???

Katarzyna Kadej
I’m glad that her coffin would be taken away from that rotten place.
Katarzyna Kadej
Those guy in court are useless. They knew that wang yu is emperor’s worst enemy yet they dare to insult emperor’s dead sister in front of him and question his decisions… I guess they’re bored of their lives.
(And yes, only when they thought about possibility of sending their own daughters as princess Yongle replacement and what kind of consequences that might bring to their families, they finally shut up.
Selfish arrogant b@stards.)

Yeah exactly the whole thing could have been avoided if Yinglou didn’t bring it up with her and if Yinglou just decided to comfort her friend instead of fighting for her. But they are both devious people so I’m sure one way or the other, they would have met a similar fate.
Changning is not so much a bad/evil person because she never fully wished harm but she plainly dismissed or absolved herself of the result the others would have faced. And no one should ever want someone like that around them.

If she had just told them to make sure the entire thing was erased since anything related to Jiu tends to affect her, there would have been no evidence. The only reason why she’s extremely anxious about the situation is because even the man she wanted to hold on to now hates her no reason. The result seems undeserving but she unfortunately brought it upon herself. She always underestimated or overestimated matters and people. Thinking the prince’s feelings could not change, thinking her parents were strong enough to overcome pain.
And it’s sad because this could have been a perfect lesson. Even though previous ones should have been too, but she’ll just never learn, and it’s worse now because of the second prince
Katarzyna Kadej
I agree with your comment except for the last part. It’s not sad, bcs it’s purely their fault that they can’t learn their lesson, that any logic and common sense doesn’t exist for them, that they’re extremely shameless and arrogant thinking that there’s no law above them. That kind of people even in their graves won’t ask themselves if they did something wrong.
And that’s their problem ¯??_?(???)?_?/?¯
Let’s say that karma accumulated over years is bitting them back (but in my opinion it’s not enough, compared to how qx- and her bio family – destroyed qj’s life, how she damaged qin family).
I love lollipop
I understand you ? but people can be quite flexible and have the ability to change, which is why it’s a big shame she never will learn
I love lollipop
Gu Jing acting like that as if he’s different from her
I love lollipop
I’m actually supporting the idea that she’s better off with the other family because if Gu Jing was treating her that way (abusing her) with those pure thoughts of her before, I don’t want to imagine what he’s going to do now that he sees her differently
I love lollipop
It’s just that Gu Jing was too stupid, giving what the Xu family wants.
Actually, and this was him with the other nation and Prince too. That’s really how he solves issues
aelin
This one uses his brain!

I love lollipop
Qin Zhun is really a terrible son
Fluke Remz
Thanks for the update ?
Katarzyna Kadej
It’s laughable that among the people on 2nd prince’s side there are military people and they still talk about peace talks and that the other country’s prince is “sincere”. Say that to all those soldiers who’s names are carved on stone plates in the temple. Tell that to those 10 thousands of deceased (and civilians who were not included there). Gu jing can be brainless, but those ministers on his side should have properly working brains. Just to let princey get some brownie points you want to sign a peace treaty with an enemy that fast.
I hope that emperor will get more intelligent people to replace those idiots – if some of them are from court. It looks like only emperor and Gu Zezhi are fully aware aware of the situation, bcs those people in 2nd prince’s camp are like: “yes we know that beiyan broke treaty 3 times before and we know they attacked our country just after that, 3 times, but now their prince is sincere and why this peace talks are taking so long?? Just sign it now and get the 2nd prince the reward for siding with the enemy”, he did this for “our country’s sake” ???
I love lollipop
Mehn I felt so sad for the grandma. And I loved how it was written and Narrated.
I love lollipop
They are really father and son ???
I love lollipop
So he couldn’t suspect a thing when Zezhi and his mum talked and had solid evidence, but now he he does??? What a fool. And everyone’s right, he never loved them. I’m happy for Madam Xiao
I love lollipop
So they really want to deceive the emperor?
Crazy
I love lollipop
I love it!

But really she was really bold carrying her mother all about like that

Happy new year! Thank you for the updates so far ???

They didn’t even mourn her. What a waste

Finally caught up!
Gosh I enjoy this novel so much. It’s been such a joy to follow. Thank you so much for translating this story so far. I look forward to following everyone to the end ??
Katarzyna Kadej
1. Ok, he went to the emperor – knowing that siblings are related closely to empress, and it’s not a secret that emperor likes them too.
2. He IGNORED the fact that Guy Zezhi was there when he went against his fiancee ????
3. He played a concubine’s trick pretending to cry, sobbing and playing a pitiful victim… when he’s a well build, old, grown-a$$ man… I might be shocked a bit seeing that combo, but I bet that Gu Zezhi was laughing inside ?
Katarzyna Kadej
Since gu jing is not really hiding anything… anyone smart with some intel would be able to see what he’s aiming for, not mentioning Gu Zezhi or emperor…
Gu Zezhi is few steps ahead of 2nd prince, I guess it’s like a cat (gz) playing with a mouse (gj) ?
It would be nice to see that 3rd miss Yun and Fu guy together ??
seo sujin973
Let him come. We are eating for him. This disgusting beast.
Ambrosia
…did you mean to write.. waiting?
Katarzyna Kadej
“(…) the second prince has never led an army before…”
Wait, wait – what?? So he never led any soldiers before, be it a small group or a bigger one, BUT he wants to show to his father how outstanding he is as a leader, while having no experience whatsoever… and he’s looking down upon yu guy and gu zezhi??
Where does his baseless, audacious confidence came from?
We’re talking about two experienced generals who fought for the country, honored for the national defense, and he’s thinking that they’re “nothing/nobody”…
Ha, ha ha, ha ha ha ha ha… ??
What a f clown ?
I thought that he has at least a bit of experience in this field and that would explain why he’s confident, but like nothing? None, null, zero?
The more he shows his opinions about anything… the more I think that the only thing that exceeds my expectations of him is his shamelessness.
Every new chapter he’s rising to a new level
Fluke Remz

Finally they think so fast. Yaaaaay
Thank you for the update! ??

I’m a bit proud of them ?

Brilliant performance by Yuan Mingang ???
Fluke Remz

I HATE HAREM
im disappointed, there’s no mention about Qin Xins parents seen by the mc and ml. I thought Qin Jui already planned their demise when she said that there’s no need to hunt them cause they would come to the capital itself to look for their og daughter
Katarzyna Kadej
“(…) using someone else’s dirty work!” –

A date. I wonder if Qin Jiu even registers that.
Mibu Kyo
Here we have Qin Xin doing everything to get ahead by using her knowledge on one side and on the other we have Qin Jiu who can’t be bothered to even remember the plot.
Fresh the First
She literally just uses her natural charisma and wit (and brute force) to move forward. I can respect that.
kyotot
??
I wonder what kind of surprise this family have~
mamabug
So far, they are being written as if they are good people so fingers crossed.
Fluke Remz
Thanks ??
EllieKit
Wait, Old Madam Wei is in her fifties and her daughter-in-law is in her forties? The only way that would work is if the daughter-in-law is 40 and the Old Madam is like 59 or something.
kyotot
? i’ll double check this..
EllieKit
I suspect it might be on the author’s end rather than you. It wouldn’t be the first time an author put in something that defies all logic in their novel.
aelin
MC is marrying at the age of 14-15 right. That’s the reality of child brides
EllieKit
It is true that girls married at that age, but boys tended to marry later I think, around 20. So Unless Old Madam Wei had her son at like the age of 10, math isn’t adding up.
aelin
Maybe the MIL is the second wife of the FIL. although yes, if the husband is the biological son of the MIL then the maths really is pretty shaky
EllieKit
Considering the Empress’s age, and how old Qin Jiu’s mother would be if she was still alive, I think the author simply made a typo that wasn’t caught by the editor and meant for Madam Wei to be in her 30s.
Ever55
It might just be that the old lady looks younger
kyotot
another good grandparents for Qin Jiu, but really i feel sad for the original Qin Jiu.. seeing that she was supposed to be surrounded with good people and yet…tsk tsk tsk!
mamabug
The original, original would have been surrounded with good people. It is the one who was schemed against by the reincarnated QX that suffered.
Kuroneko_chan
I wonder if the OG Qin Jiu was really that stupid? We can guess her self esteem was basically zero since she was so brutally abused.
kyotot
maybe if she had someone she could rely on at first, she wouldn’t be that stupid, after all, even though how good those people surrounds her, they still expect the OG Qin Jiu to be good at everything…tsk tsk
Xiao Yu
Thanks for the chapter!!!!
Fluke Remz
Thanks ?
Katarzyna Kadej
I wondered how emperor would deal with them but all I can say…
THAT WAS FREAKING AMAZING ?
he let them think that everything will play out like they wanted to just to mess things up at the very last minute, leaving them with cold sweats and no room to improvise, pinning all the blame on them while acting like he had nothing to do with that.
This is how it’s done. Chef’s kiss ????
And that was only an appetizer, there’s still main course ahead ??
Katarzyna Kadej
Since they’re already there, they can visit empress. I think she’d be happy to see her mother.
Fluke Remz

“She was suffering, but her grandmother just looked on coldly, and her little brother just abandoned her like a slipper kicked to the side…
Are these people really her family?!”
Honestly, i kinda understand her, because it’s quite common to see parents forgiving their children for doing bad things in novels and even in real life. It’s not that i agree with her that she should be forgiven because obviously i know that she should be punished but a lot of parents don’t.
SilentReader
I know Grandma is partial right now, but I really hope FL has a happy family ?
Katarzyna Kadej
I still remember Gu Zezhi’s
“your majesty, I’m about to get married!” LoL ??

Dear emperor, if it’s not something really important,
I don’t want to imagine what level of ML’s pettiness you’ve just activated.
I mean I don’t want to imagine that, but I’ll definitely read about it ?
Kuroneko_chan
First night antics ?
EllieKit
Not yet. That was just a kiss. It’s about to get a whole lot steamier.

I think Zezhi should have told the emperor every day that he was getting married soon with the date as a reminder

Emperor, have some sense of timing! A decree? Right now? Come back at sunrise!
Fluke Remz
Thanks for the update!!!

“he had asked Qin Zhun to take over the position of Junior Secretary at Taipusu, to let Qin Zhun empty his family’s fortune to fill in the hole of the Changying Treasury.”

My grandpa and his younger siblings were behind the older ones by 30 years or so. By the time my grandpa was marrying my grandma there were all these people calling my grandma aunt who were the same age or older than her. She got such a kick out of the experience.

“You’ve called her grandma for so many years, and yet she doesn’t feel any affection towards your relationship at all.”
Well there is also the part where she killed her husband and instilled her daughter-in-law to kill her but who cares about this small stuff right?

>> Anger surged on County Princess Duan Rou’s pretty face, and with the gritted teeth she said. “Too despicable! Underhanded, shameless, and ruthless!”

I noticed this… it might be an error? “-causing all of their previous plans to be redone.” I feel like redone should be changed to undone. No? Just based on the meaning of the word redone. But I may be wrong.

Emperor thought : how is it possible that a headless chicken Duan wangye has an outstanding son like Gu Zezhi, when he, the emperor, intelligent man, has someone like gu jing…
Emperor definitely thinks that it’s unfair ???
Katarzyna Kadej
People say that ignorance is a bliss.
This fool’s level of ignorance and idiocy literally has no limit, but I hope it will stab him in the most painful and treacherous way…
(bcs that moron wouldn’t see the truth even if he’d live a 1000 lives)
Snowkat
Is her name Qin Gui or Qin Jiu?
Fresh the First
It's both. Her given name in chinese character is ?, which means "small fountain" and can be pronounced as either jiu or gui. Jiu is more commonly used, however.
Ns7
“Too despicable! Underhanded, shameless, and ruthless!”
Ah yes ‘How dare him defend himself against my schemes!’
This is the worst type of villain
Snowkat
Qin Gui became Qin Jaio, then Qin Jiu, now Qin Qiu. ???? Qin Xin became Qin Xi.??? 6th Prince Gu Zhen became Gu Qin. ???
Snowkat
The second Prince is named Gu Jing, not Gu Zhen. The Sixth Prince is Gu Zhen, not Gu Jin (changed in the middle of the conversation with Qin Jiu), his birth mother is the Empress sir name Wei, not the Imperial Concubine Liu.
Snowkat
So Qin Xin, Qin Xi, and Qing Xin are all the same person.
Snowkat
Qin Jiu, Qin Jiao, smh.

Well they’re not entirely lying since thé fire really is because of Wang Yu and hé did scheme.
Katarzyna Kadej
Plus it’s already known that wang yu has more than 300 thousand troops(?) and wants to find a “righteous reason” to attack the capital. So he has ulterior motives.
Fluke Remz
What the— ?
SeDi
What?! Whyyyy?! What’s going on?
Katarzyna Kadej
I guess he wants to see his own head flying a bit earlier. (Part of the scheme that would let trash wang yu “righteously” fight with emperor?)
The suspense ?
???
Flowingfog
So Jiu’er has the juice!
Cluckrabbit
I don’t get why he’s angry. He obviously wants to fight for the throne and a soundproof way to gain points is to have an heir. He KNOWS he can’t produce one, he doesn’t want anyone to know about it (obvs) and he created this whole story of only favouring QX. Where does he thinks his future son will come from?!

this really irks, when you everything would be okay!!! agrhlakfhlkafh!!!
Fluke Remz
Thanks ?

I was starting to wonder when the author would start the ball rolling for The idiot prince to get turfed out on his butt. You can bet that before this all ends, not only will he and his grandfather be disgraced, but he little ‘issue’ will come to light, making him forever unable to become Emperor.

The author at this point is making things dumb but not gonna lie it’s still interesting.
If I were the transmigrated bish especially with the time she bought herself I would have 1. Make sure to save money so my life wouldn’t be miserable.
2. I would have made sure I left a good impression on the family members even if I wasn’t accepted so that I would leave and live in peace???. Bish is just being dumb for just thinking about status

how did Gu Jin became the ML when he’s this idiotic?? tsk tsk, can’t wait to see his downfall!!!

pipe dream honey!!

Idiot prince seems to be forgetting the many Emperors that claimed the throne through rebellion, especially princes from the imperial family that weren’t directly in line to inherit the throne. Even what he’s doing now would be considered rebellion if it was ever discovered.

Jumella
Although I knowthat Qin Xin killed her Granpa Qin, and that grandma Qin is pitiful , I can’t tolerate the fact that she went to pick up Qin Gui just because she couldn’t avoid taking her back. All she thought about was how Qin Xin would be uncomfortable and how she couldn’t believe Qin Xin wasn’t her biological granddaughter. I mean, if I knew my granddaughter was replaced, the first thing I’d think about is how my biological granddaughter has suffered. I still don’t forgive the grandmother, but okay, as long as the MC is happy…
Jumella
” rob her of everything” ??? OMG who’s robbing who? And… Qin Gui doesn’t even want your Second prince. If Qin Xin really considered Qin Zening and the others as family, she’d think for Gu Zhen , the cousin. Not the enemy of Gu Zhen – the second prince.
kyotot
???
ahhh can’t wait for that moment
anyways, since I wasn’t able to post the other day, I will be posting another chapter tomorrow?
Jumella
WTH was that ????
Jumella
And this is what you mean by “I treated them as family sincerely, but they value blood ties over affection” ? If you were sincere, you’d have warned your “little brother”
Jumella
Those two are so chaotic…
Jumella
Oh please. Old madam Qin, you may have concern for Zeyu but did you let them rest after that long journey? Instead, here you are chiding him for not greeting “his sister”.
Katarzyna Kadej
“In other words, the emperor had long been aware of their cooperation with Wang Yu.”
Pfft, he knew it even before anything happened.
Like it wasn’t obvious enough when princey “fell for” a trick that was repeated twice the same day… no, there wasn’t any hidden agenda behind it of course ?? lol
Bunch of kids running around, pretending to be adults, playing their own little games and emperor sits on the throne and shakes his head, that’s how I imagine the situation ?
Thanks for the chapter ????
Jumella
Ewwwww this guy can die for all I care. Soooo damn partial that he’s practically blind. Stupid idiot
Jumella
Oh please . Of you actually care about your wife you’d first ask how to cure her instead of covering up for your son’s wife
Jumella
Eewwwwwww
Jumella
And there you go girls… That right there is a big lesson. If you don’t have the strength to stand up for yourself, you can only rely on a “man’s love” and sway as he says. Whatever he wants to do you can only drag yourself to do it. That’s why it’s better to rely on yourselves rather than going after men. And what’s more is this isn’t even true love.
Hipployta
BWAHAHAAHAJAJAJA foolish behavior
kyotot
wow this people are really unbelievable, they still trying to deny everything even when everything is already out!!! tsk tsk!!
anyways i wonder how empress dowager liu will react?
Blue Girl
What choice does he have? If he admits it, it’s basically a death sentence.
People will struggle against death. There’s a saying about how even the meekest animal will bite if cornered.

AND…
this truly saddens me but this will be the last chapter I will be uploading here in fans translation, due to some circumstances. however, this is not the end and I may come back if fate allows. as for the novels that i am translating, i will continue uploading them on different websites, please check the novelupdates.

Oh please, you want to sow discord between Jiu, Zezhi and the emperor? Hahahahhaha hahaha delusional people ?????????? and who wants to be your family you dumba**???????????????

Hahaha hahahahaha seing these fools put on a circus ??????
Jumella
Ahhh finally she could see clearly. Anyway she has always been smart after all. Go empress dowager ???
Katarzyna Kadej
Only when she was reminded of the concubine she hated she added 2+2 and become sharp, I hope that she won’t need any reminder to see other people’s ulterior motives. She almost raised another consort fang when she fought with original one for many years, that was a close call.
Katarzyna Kadej
So he wants to start a civil war to become an emperor, then start another civil war leading the troops he previously fought with against those who supported his enthronement and with a greatly damaged army (that might not even listen to him) he thinks he can win??
He wants to ruin the country not once but twice just to self-righteously sit on the throne… he’s faaaar worse than previous incompetent (thankfully already) dead emperor. I know that it might be pointless to look for any logic in a madman’s plans/thinking but how the heck was he raised to become such a walking toxic garbage? ??
Previously I was around 80% certain, but now I’m 100% sure that in OG story with him as emperor that country ceased to exist in less than 10 years.
xphoenixx
Yeah I’m starting to wonder how 1st and 2nd timelines really turned out. How long did he reign for?
Katarzyna Kadej
I still don’t know where his baseless confidence comes from. When he negotiated the peace treaty with north yan and it turned into disaster 6th prince said one sentence which summarized everything (that his country was the winning side, not loosing one). At that time that kid was 5 or 6 yo.
It’s another level of burn when you compete with a child and can’t win.
Katarzyna Kadej
Who needs enemies when you have that kind of audacious leech in your family…

Katarzyna Kadej
In my opinion that was the only thing missing.
Empress dowager was already disappointed with her grandson, then she saw the light and saw through her niece’s schemings and now her own brother’s stupidity came.
As kind as she is, she might blame herself for “indulging” them too much to the point they become so audaciously greedy… and sad seeing her family’s downfall
Ester Canneo
Jajajaja I can’t ????
Veetah
But they have no right to make a marriage for her? How can someone basically unrelated to a girl make a marriage for her? If that’s allowed, then does that mean anyone can betrothe their neighbors daughters to anyone for gain? Huh???? Also, why would the xu family put themselves on the line for this? Surely they can’t be that stupid???

Well, I guess Gu Jing got all his money back. Both him and Qin Xin lifted a rock and ended up dropping on their foot.
As someone mentioned before if Qin Xin just left our FL alone, she wouldn’t have ended up getting retaliated against.
And the prince… trying to abandon your woman to another man fir a while “to teach her a lesson”, of course she’d feel abandoned and try grasping at whatever straws she could. As they say even a rabbit/mouse would fight back if cornered. Really unwise…

All three siblings have different opinion about Gu Zenzhi. It's so hilarious how different yet same their opinions are: ???
"Qin Zening followed Gu Zezhi on a trip to Minzhou and had some understanding of how ruthless his future brother-in-law was.
If Tang Fengchun played this kind of classless trick in front of Gu Zezhi, was she not just showing off in front of Gu Zezhi?!
Meanwhile, Qin Zeyu had a completely different opinion.
“That’s right!” He responded rather proudly, “What kind of person is Third Brother Gu!”
His Third Brother Gu had long been blinded by his sister, and his heart was filled with only his sister! All the other vixens were just ogling the blind man, making their efforts all in vain!
Qin Jiu also nodded.
When it comes to treachery, who could be more treacherous than Gu Zezhi ah!"

People who do bad things usually have a victim mentality. It helps them to feel better or validated and eventually gives them an excuse for their wrong actions.she even murders Old Marquise just at the age of 4-5. Anyone who has a stable mind wont be able to handle the guilt whilst continuously staying with that person's family for years.
Same goes for people who like to donate a lot. They usually do these things out of guilt.
Qui Xin very much knows that she's in the wrong but she gaslights herself to feel right and just. Her resentment towards Qui Gui is pathetically misplaced. She just keeps reminds herself of harsh pastlife and a dreaded end and uses that as a motivation. She's lowkey bonkers imo. If you read the novel further,

For anyone who is first time reading a chinese reincarnation novel, the suffix "er" in Zhen'er means "child". It's the way chinese people use to call their kids. In reality, his real name is only Zhen.
Fresh the First
It actually makes sense that the empress is smart. Being an empress on top of a harem isn't the job for dull people.
Fresh the First
I think translator made a mistake. Biaotou (??) isn't part of his name. It's an old Chinese word that means "personal bodyguard" or "escort". Specifically, it's a type of armed bodyguard that goes with you on long journey and is usually seen under the employment of travelling merchants.
Also, for those who don't know much about chinese addressing, the "Xiao" in "Xiao Ze" isn't part of his name either. "Xiao" means little in chinese, and similar to "er", it is used to address children. Xiao, however, is used more often to address little kids, while you can still call your child "er" even when they are all grown up.

FL could honestly make a good teacher though. Instead of uttering phrases like "You should", "You must" or "You have to", she just simply gave her own perceptions of thing so that the boy could make up his own mind. This is literally the true meaning of former generation passing down experience to the latter. If she forces him to believe things in a certain way, then it would not be sharing experience, it's indoctrination.

Holy freaking sh!!t, what an MTL.
In case people wondering where the heck that "Qin San" came from, it probably came from the FL being the third daughter of Qin family (san means three or third in chinese)

Huh, since when is marquis an "ordinary" rank? Within Chinese nobility, there are 5 ranks Gong (Duke), Hou (Marquis), Bo (Count), Zi (Viscount) and Nan (Baron). Qin Gui's house should be ranking only lower to the Duke's house, which is, in turn, directly under the royal family. Marquises are usually those who rule the borderland, so they have a lot of military and political resources that should not be trifled with. Why are they set to sit so far back if they're that influential?

The translator made a mistake. In ancient Chinese hierarchy, Emperor's brothers are granted the King title. So it should be King Duan, not Emperor Duan. The Emperor's title is well-known as being very exclusive so the author couldn't have used it so arbitrarily like that.

In case anyone wondering, Beiyan refers to a kingdom exists during Sixteen Kingdoms era. Bei here means North. However, in novel contexts, it is an umbrella term to address any of the nomadic tribes to the North of China. In contrary, Nan means south, and Nanban (or Nanman) refers to the indigenous tribes living to the south of China, mainly around the Yangtze River valley (i.e. Miao, Zhuang, Dai, Jingpo and Yi people). The word "man" here means something like "barbarians".

A bit of explanation. Dou E is a character in a well-known chinese story. She was a girl who was wrongly convicted and executed for the crimes she didn't do. Three supernatural events happened after her death to prove her innocence: blood rain, summer snow and three-year drought. After meeting the ghost of Dou E, her father brought those who harmed her to justice.
Nowadays, the phrase "snow in june" is still used to indicate a miscarriage of justice.

Here some more bit of information about yijue:
Yijue (end relation) is part of the famous saying Enduanyijue (Sever ties and end relation). Also, it's the name of a civil legal consequence attached to criminal case. If the spouses and/or their relatives causes any harm, either fighting or killing towards each other, then yijue will be carried out as a form of separating not only the spouses, but also the houses. In this specific case, since the concubine (the husband's "relative") attempts to hurt the wife, Madam Xiao has all the right to end relation with Duan wangfu if she sees fit. This has an even more devastating effect than normal divorce, since a divorce comes from marriage turmoil, while a yijue stems from household hatred and resentment. It's no different than saying "your whole house is a barbaric lair and it's your fault for not able to manage it", so just imagine how much face wangye has left if Madam Xiao announce yijue.
Fresh the First
Wait, is there like a hidden joke here? Since chinese for "short" and "small" are "duan" and "xiao", which sound exactly like Wangye and Wangfei's surnames.

I notice that Qi people refer to themselves as "Da" (Great) but to the Yan as "Bei" (North), while the Yan people refer to both themselves and the Qi as "Da", instead of calling their neighbor "Nan" (South). Three reasons can be hypothesized from this:
– It might simply be just a cultural thing and there is no negative connotation behind, though this is quite unlikely and unusually even, because Chinese nobles are OBSESSED with hidden meaning.
– Yan people consider both their own and Qi's territories as strong empires, while Qi people do not officially recognize Yan territory. This may come from disdain more than pride since Qi people already know Yan people are strong, they just thing the latter are barbaric and despicable.
– Qi people consider their country as the center of the world. This is highly likely because actual Chinese people have always thought so themselves. Even their modern name, Zhongguo, is formed by that mentality (Zhongguo means Central nation). In the past, they also used to invent pejorative names for their neighbors, which was often coupled with directional words such as Nanman (Souther barbarians, aka Southeast Asian), Dongyi (Eastern barbarians, aka Japanese and Korean), Beidi (Northern barbarians, aka the Mongols, the Rus, etc) and Xirong (Western barbarians, aka the Tibetans, the Turks, etc)

I feel like this would backfired on Qin Xin, since the fake name her parents gave Qin Jiu was technically her real original name. So it would be hilarious if Qin Xin ends up being the one with two marriages instead.

I can see Zezhi inherited his mother's personality. And unfortunately, so is Chenzhi. So much for dragon blood superiority, right Duan Wangye?

I think the word kyotot referred to is ??? (Qintianjian). Qin means imperial, tian means sky, jian means observe. So Qintianjian means Imperial Astronomical Observer, a person in charge of picking the auspicious date for imperial events based on the positions and status of the sky.

For those who are curious, the "ya" in "daya" is a way to address either female slaves/servants or little girls in chinese. You would usually hear it being used by parents or slave masters. So by addressing Qin Xin as a "ya", Qin Jiu is indirectly mocking her lowborn/insignificant nature.
Fresh the First
Ha!

It's jinshiji, not Jin Shiji btw (mind the space), since jin here is not a name but rather an adjective to mean golden, or in this case, prosperous. Shiji is a market or bazaar, so jinshiji means a famous and prosperous market in the area.

Lol stop acting like y'all are the victim. The second your emperor turn ill, you immediately jump boat and try to replace him. There is something called loyalty. I wonder if y'all really know what it means.

For anyone who wonder why Gu Zezhi is a king but Qin Jiu, despite having already become his wife, is referred to as princess instead of queen, this is because the title Huanghou (queen/empress consort) is only used for an independent king/emperor's wife. Zezhi is a subordinate county king (Jun Wang) under an Emperor, so the title is only used by Empress Wei.
So naturally, how a Wang's wife be referred to should fall on the next noble title, which is Wangfei. This title means diferently in English depending on whether it was granted to an emperor/independent king's secondary wives (imperial/royal consort), or a prince/subordinate king's main wife (princess consort). This is not the same as Gongzhu (royal/imperial princess), which is used for an emperor/king's daughters.

The two deities are Hei-Bai Wuchang (Black-White Impermanence). They are a pair of god responsible for escorting dead people to the underworld, where the latter will be trialed and receive judgement for their karma on earth. Hei Wuchang (Black Impermanence) is tall and skinny, dressed in black and has a solemn expression, while Bai Wuchang (White Impermanence) looks short and lively, dressed in white and often seen smiling. Hei Weichang is the bad cop that catches bad soul, while Bei Weichang is the good cop that escorts good soul. They usually have chains with them in case the soul is unwilling to follow.
Idk where the source of the translator's interpretation of the deities come from, but they are not tied together, and their job is definitely not judging people. That's what Yan Wang (Underworld King), their boss, does.
After Yan Wang finished judging, the most virtuous souls will be sent to heavenly realm, where they enjoy bliss for a long while before going back to the circle of reincarnation (samsara).
The souls that don't accumulate enough of both bad deed and good deed will be reincarnated to either the animal realm (for petty bad deeds) or the human realm (for perfectly balance or slightly more good deeds). Those who accumulate great virtue could even enjoy wealth in their next human life.
The souls who did horrendous things when they were alive would be sentenced to torture in one or some of the ten courts of hell for a long while before they got sent back to reincarnation. The amount and forms of torture will depend on what type of sin they committed. The souls that deemed irredeemable however, will just suffer eternal damnation (no reincarnation for you, buddy).
There are, however, some special cases of souls that do not receive the mentioned treatment. The first case are those who got unresolved business or didn't receive proper burial. These souls will be sent to Ghostly realm. The second case are those who got help from deities, who intervened to get them reincarnated into a better life compared to what the Yan Wang decided. And the final case is Nirvana, which is the state of absolute nothingness existing outside of the circle of reincarnation. This is what the Buddha and his followers aimed to achieve, which can be reached by minimizing the accumulation of both good deed and bad deed.

The last line is inaccurately translated. The original phrase was "????" (w? wèi zá chén), which mean "a mix of five flavors". It's obviously a metaphor so we should not considered "flavors" literally, but rather interpret it as "feelings" or "emotions". Thus the correct translation should be: "Her heart seems to be overwhelmed with a mix of emotions". About why it used 5 flavors, specifically, is because ancient chinese people recognize their food through 5 flavors: bitter, spicy, sour, sweet and salty. The umami flavor wasn't introduced until much later centuries so we only have these 5 flavors being referred to.

No matter how well fabricated a document is, there will always be flaws that could be pointed out, namely its paper material, paper longevity, paper quality, ink type, ink longevity, type of pen, etc. Even minute difference in writing style and habit can be detected through comparison with other documents of the same ownership at that time period. Moreover, I remember that some specific type of papers are only owned by the emperor and then granted to important nobles as gifts, which cannot be fabricated.
