The chapter itself has been deleted, but I thought to leave this post up because it felt wrong to delete all these comments. I also left my final words before I dropped this novel back in 2020. It’s interesting to read back on your old thoughts.

Finally, last chapter of the arc, and last chapter from me! Thank you for following me on my journey in translating this amazing novel, but all good things must come to an end, but there are better things out there. The LN has been licensed by JNC, so it’s time to start the journey anew, this time with a translation quality far greater than I can ever achieve! No joke. Go check it out. It’s good. So, time for me to take the backseat. I’m very, very interested in how the LN translation will turn out, especially in how they will translate all the names since that’s the one issue that has plagued me all the years I’ve worked on this novel. Of course, I took the easy way out by transliterating the names as is, but I’ve never really stopped thinking about it. How will they tell apart cat Maomao and human Maomao? Will poor old dad be finally a part of the family or still be estranged in name? Will it be the Ma clan or the Ba clan, and will Gaoshun’s kids’ names match with the clan name or not? On a side note, the manga seems to have the palace ladies (女官) translated as court ladies. Will be interesting when the actual court ladies (官女) show up later…

When is the next arc coming out? No idea. Realistically, after the new LN volume (or two) gets released, but there’s no telling when since the release date hasn’t been announced yet. Apparently, there are rumours going around saying that there’ll be an anime soon? Anyway, my blessings to the next person who wants to pick this novel up. I’ll still be updating my wordpress with stuff, so if you want, you can catch me there too.

Lastly… poor Jinshi. I swear this guy can never catch a break. We’re all just here for his suffering, aren’t we…
