Just wanted to let you all know that I will be moving sites to Ebisu Translations.
After a long discussion, we have come to the agreement that I will be moving my translations to their site. Well that's complete and utter BS... Basically I was procrastinating and playing on NUF when I let myself get bribed (with virtual currency) by a fellow translator into switching sites.... On a side note, if anyone cares. The next chapters (or parts of them) should be up soon (maybe 24 hours) before I disappear again for the next few weeks or so since my EOY Exams will be starting in one week...

... Here's another novel translation. I'm really sorry. But the synopsis just sounded so interesting that I just had to try and translate this. Some terms that will be used yatou: girl (Usually used for servant girls.) di: legitimate (In Ancient China, men could have many concubines (Note that they could only have one wife though). If the child was born of the main wife (The one that was actually married to the man) the would be termed the di daughter/sons. If they were concubine born, they would be termed the shu daughters/sons.) ____'er: a term of endearment gu niang: miss Chapter 1 From the sky, small droplets of rain poured down, causing Feng Zhi Yao's hair to become damp and her skin creamy. Her morning make-up had long since disappeared from her simple face. Excluding a pure and elegant nature, her slender and thick eyelashes adorned her eyes, carrying a few tears. At the moment, she looked pure and untainted, making people fearful of blaspheming about her.
When Zi Yun looked at her lady, she noticed that even under the sadness her lady felt, her lady still had a beautiful temperament. With this, even she couldn't bear to continue watching. At the next moment, she remembered her master's command. Quickly, she prepared some reassuring words of comfort. "Eldest Miss... Eldest Miss, I beg you not to remain in the rain anymore. When you get wet, your body will become uncomfortable. Then what will you do if you end up with a cold?" Her anxious words held within it much concern. "Zi Yun, I love him. I really am innocent, so why doesn't he believe me? Why does he want to break out engagement?" As Feng Zhi Yao spoke softly, she cried, her tears blending in with the rain. It was hard to tell if her face was covered with a little more tears, or a little more rain. "Eldest Miss, as the saying goes, there is no fragrant grass under the heavens. Why should you suffer from unrequited love with Qi Wang, that stalk of grass, !" When Zi Yun spoke the two words, 'Qi Wang', she gnashed her teeth. If he had not been so unyielding in wanting the engagement to be broken, Eldest Miss would not have gone outside so early in the morning to think, subsequently getting wet from the rain. "Zi Yun, it's just that I am unable to do this..." Looking into the rain which was becoming increasingly heavy, Feng Zhi Yao shouted, "I really love him! When I first saw him, I went crazy with love! That time, I was only twelve!" "Eldest Miss, don't be like this, let us return to the room! Your body has always been quite weak, you shouldn't let the rain soak you." As Zi Yun and Feng Zhi Yao had grown up together, they were like sisters. "Eldest Miss..." Feng Zhi Yao's eyes flashed as she recalled scenes of her time spent talking gently with Qi Wang. She had tried her best to forget, just that her mind was unable to control these scenes from spilling out. At the moment, accompanied by the loud roars of thunder was the rain. It was becoming heavier and heavier while the sky turned darker. The sounds of thunder came one after another, while the lighting illuminated the sky. The wind was extremely strong, causing tree branches to snap. In just an instant, the rain would become even heavier. Within just a short period of time, it was like the rain was pouring down, the sky resembling a humongous waterfall. A gust of wind blew by, causing the waterfall like rain to be blown of course as though it was like smoke, fog or even dust. "Breaking the engagement? Hahaha..." Feng Zhi Yao faced the intense rain as she cried loudly, laughing and crying all the while. Her words sounded completely insane especially when she desperately began attacking herself. "Eldest Miss, don't hit yourself!" Zi Yun cried to the heavens as she grabbed at Feng Zhi Yao. "Come, quickly report this to this matter to the Master!" Very soon, Prime Minister Feng Wu frantically arrived. "Yao'er, don't hit your head. Zi Yun yatou, in such heavy rain, still not bring Eldest Miss into the house!" Growling at Zi Yun yatou upon seeing that the eldest di daughter had ran out so early in the morning and gotten soaked because of that muddleheaded Qi Wang, Prime Minister Feng Wu was furious. "Y... Y... Yes, Master!" looking at the Master who was extremely angry, Zi Yun quickly mustered all her strength to help the drenched Feng Zhi Yao into the house. "Father, there is nothing wrong with this daughter. After venting like this, I feel much better." Feng Zhi Yao said after being forced to change into a new dress. Looking at Feng Wu's troubled expression, she immediately said this to make him feel relieved. However the pain she truly felt inside, only she would no. "Yao'er, how dare that kid Qi Wang try to annul your engagement. For your father, let him remain his whole life as a mere Qi Wang!" When Feng Wu remembered his daughter's heartbroken look, he heart felt extremely painful. This was his most beloved woman's daughter, whenever Yao'er feel hurt, as a father, he too felt hurt. "Father, your daughter feels better. You should go first since you are busy." Feng Zhi Yao knew that her father, the Prime Minister Feng Wu was actually extremely busy. As such, using the handkerchief Zi Yun passed to her, she wiped the tears off his face as she spoke gently. "Yao'er, if you really don't want to part, do you remember that when your grandfather passed away, he passed down the imperial seal." Feng Wu raised his hand, stroking Feng Zhi Yao's head gently as he comforted her. "Father, don't use it." Feng Zhi Yao was very knowledgeable. She burst into laughter, though her eyes were shrouded with sadness. "Yao'er, in that case you should go and rest. Outside, the rain is extremely heavy, you shouldn't go and get soaked again. I, your father, will be worried." After saying these few sentences, Feng Wu stood up to leave the Begonia Courtyard. Zi Yun looked at Feng Zhi Yao, noticing that she appeared to be feeling better. As such smiling widely, she asked cautiously, "Eldest Miss, just now you were soaked by the rain, should nubi go and let people make a bowl of hot ginger soup for you?" The rain has stopped... "Oh dear, big sister, I heard that you went into the yard during the rain. Is that true?" At the door, Feng Zhi Qiong stood, with her face filled with pride. She was one of the shu daughters. In her hands, she held a piccolo made out of emerald green jade. Taking small lotus steps, she waved the piccolo in front of Feng Zhi Yao though it was unknown if this was done intentionally or not. (TN: Piccolo- A type of flute) Looking at Feng Zhi Qiong, Zi Yun felt a surge of anger. Not to mention, the yatou standing closely behind Feng Zhi Qiong also became even more angrier. Right now the Eldest Miss was feeling heartbroken over the fact that Qi Wang wanted the break the engagement between them, yet the two of them actually had the face to act arrogant. "Feng Zhi Qiong, this lady does not welcome you here." Feng Zhi Yao spoke coldly. From the beginning she had always been too lazy to pay attention to thos shu sisters of hers. It was especially so with this Feng Zhi Qiong who had stolen her lover from her. "Sister, what's the use of crying! If it wasn't for you not being chaste, how could Qi Wang want to break the engagement with you? You know what I think, Qi Wang did not like your fake high and mighty attitude. See this, this is piccolo which Qi Wang sent me last night. All I said was that I liked this flute yet he did not hesitate to send it to me!" As Feng Zhi Qiong spoke, she became even more and more prideful. Seeing the tears gather in Feng Zhi Yao's eyes, she acted even more outrageous. In reality, the piccolo was something she had borrowed to play with for two days. "Haha! Did not hesitate!" When Feng Zhi Yao heard her say the words 'did not hesitate', the pain in heart became more intense, her heart shattering into pieces that fell onto the ground. How could Feng Zhi Qiong know that the piccolo was something she painstakingly carved, in the process not resting for three whole days. This was done after she invested so much effort, this was the evidence of her love to him. Yet he was actually so cruel to her. Could it be that their past together was nothing but clouds in the wind, easily disregarded? At that time he had even held her hands, sincerely promising her, "Yao'er, in this life, there will only be you." Noticing the tears pouring down Feng Zhi Yao's face, Feng Zhi Qiong was satisfied to see the objective of her visit being met. Leaving quickly with her personal yatou, she left smugly. "Eldest Miss, you shouldn't listen to the words of Second Miss, her piccolo is probably a fake one!" Seeing that Feng Zhi Yao was extremely upset, Zi Yun quickly spoke up. "Zi Yun, the piccolo in Feng Zhi Qiong's hands was the one I gave to Qi Wang. The ornament butterfly on it was one I personally knotted. It's definitely the same!" Feng Zhi Yao closed her eyes, letting the tears flow profusely down her delicate white cheeks. Her heart was filled with holes. "Zi Yun guniang, the ginger soup for Eldest Miss has been completed." From outside the door, the voice of Xiao Hong yatou sounded. "Eldest Miss, nubi will immediately bring it in, you should go and drink it." Zi Yun watched Feng Zhi Yao worriedly. "Zi Yun, you don't have to worry. I won't do anything stupid." Feng Zhi Yao spoke. After drinking the ginger soup, Feng Zhi Yai suddenly looked extremely lonely. "Zi Yun, I'm tired. I wish to go and rest, you should retire first." ordered Feng Zhi Yao. No matter what, Zi Yun would never have expected that as soon as she closed the door, the sounds of a stool being kicked would come from Eldest Miss' room. Her brain immediately cycled through the possibilities, this was bad, Eldest Miss definitely shouldn't be thinking of that! 不放心的紫云再次推开那扇门,但见对爱亲如姐妹的大小姐那优美白皙的脖颈处套了一条月白腰带—-- Worried, Zi Yun once again pushed open the door. However what greeted her was the sight of her honorary sister, Eldest Miss, with a white coloured belt wrapped around her beautiful white neck. "Eldest Miss, don't... Come! People come! Eldest Miss has hung herself!" Zi Yun legs became weak from fright as she screamed continuously. Tears falling from her eyes, she clutched at Feng Zhi Yao's legs. Main Project
I Heard You Like Me Too: 2 chapters/week I'm aiming to finish this one before next year... But I don't think it'll be possible. Side Projects Being An Author Is A High Risk Occupation: 1 chapter/week Wife, You Can’t Run After Eating: 1 chapter/week These two, I'll take my time though I'll try to aim for one chapter a week. So for the week, here's my second chapter. It's Teacher's Day this Thurs. Yay, free holiday! Chapter 4 Part 2 "Go and talk to Director Zhang." Ye Jing An spoke to Wei Meng, "Both Du Yu Shu and I will try one more time. If we do not succeed once again, he can make me into soup."
Wei Meng was grim, staring at Ye Jing An for a while, he left to search for Director Zhang. Director Zhang sneered as he stood face to face with Wei Meng, beginning to curse Ye Jing An out. Wei Meng could only listen bitterly, lacking the courage to speak up for his own artist. Zhang Rui, or Director Zhang as he was commonly known by, was extremely famous within the country for being extremely harsh, a Virgo with obsessive compulsive disorder, with a poisonous tongue that has caused many actors to break down in tears. However, his films have always garnered great applause, investors chasing after him in order to invest in his films. It could be said that he was like a big tree in the entertainment circle. In the end, Director Zhang chose to give them one more chance. As a Virgo with obsessive compulsive disorder, seeing his own movie having flaws would definitely put him in a horrible mood. When Wei Meng returned to Ye Jing An to report, he complained about how he had been scolded miserably by Director Zhang. Ignoring him, Ye Jing An didn't say anything leaving Wei Meng to wallow in self-pity. Ye Jing An hummed softly, if I don't let you go, then am I supposed to let Du Yu Shu go and get scolded? His eyes revealed traces of ridicule as he laughed coldly. Right now, the scene with the flower shop owner and the killer was being filmed. Director Zhang stated that after this scene Du Yu Shu and Ye Jing An would be trying their scene again. Taking in a deep breath, Ye Jing An flipped through his script again. This is like a military order, I cannot just protect myself. Elsewhere, the program group finally read Wang Jie's email of 'Cooperation with Horizontal', causing the program crew a headache. The director rubbed his throat as he asked, "What did you just say? Du Yu Shu also accepted the invitation?" "Indeed," The person besides him replied expressionless. "This morning at nine eighteen, we received an email from Wang Jie, Queen of Movies Du's agent, stating that they agreed to participate in the shooting of the reality show. "What kind of joke is this!" The director no longer resembled his cheerful self, his voice rose even higher, "Didn't Ye Jing An agree to participate yesterday?" "Indeed." That person stated expressionlessly again. "But once these two people see each other, they begin fighting!" The director cried out in pain, "At that time, won't the reality show become a murder scene?" Person besides him, "......." "Is there even any solution?" The director stated tiredly. "Do you intend to refuse Du Yu Shu or refuse Ye Jing An?" said the man besides him reluctantly. "At that time, why did we invite the two people at the same time?" The director was expressionless. "A million years without variety, or sometimes a little variety. It all depends on the program group's luck... Who would have thought......" These two people will really accept! Also, it just had to be these two people! The man besides him patted the director on the shoulder, and spoke sincerely, "The program crew is really lucky." The director, "......QAQ!" Ye Jing An and Du Wu Shu had never worked together for a thousand years. It was said that in Director Zhang's studio, the two of them had torn into each other numerous times. Not to mention, this was a reality show, with competitive spirit. Won't the two people just tear into each other like crazy during the scenes...... Heartache QAQ Sigh, I'm really frustrated. My mouse died on me so I had to buy a new one. Anyway, I've picked up a new novel. (It's a BL one, though you can recommend me other novels to pick up. Just send me a message through 'Contact') I've also decided on a translating schedule. 2-4 chapters/week So if my calculations are accurate, I should finish this before next year. (Hopefully >_<) Anyway, this should be the first half of a chapter for the week. Chapter 4 Part 1 Under the sky filled with floating petals, the eyes of two people met.
"Cuuuuuuut!" Director Zhang cried out painfully, "The atmosphere at the beginning was good, in the end..." Director Zhang threw his script on the floor, roaring out, "Drag the two of them out to be shot!" Du Yu Shu, "......" It's quite shameful Ye Jing An, "......" Really a shameful. Director Zhang was angered to the point where his breathing became unsteady. These two people had such a good atmosphere, yet in the end, when their eyes met... Destroyed. The whole shot was ruined. The two people were stiff, it was only a single second, yet the whole shot ended up becoming ruined! Director Zhang face became overcast. Deputy Director Li could only pat him on the shoulder, saying "If it's really not possible, then there is always editing." Director Zhang's face became even more gloomy. "Leave! Hurry up and leave!" Director Zhang roared out. "Leave and read your script!" Du Yu Shu and Ye Jing An walked down the stage together, their faces twisted. For once, they did not fight with one another. The two people did not feel very good and this was evident from the looks on their faces. Du Yu Shu looked even colder than usual while Ye Jing An appeared even more distant. As Director Zhang was busy raging, the studio entered a period of rare silence which lasted for several minutes. Wang Jie quickly brought Du Yu Shu back. Passing her a cup of hot water, she helped Du Yu Shu to put on her jacket. Wanting to say some comforting words, she opened her mouth, but nothing came out. All she could do was pat Du Yu Shu on the shoulder several times. Du Yu Shu looked at her listlessly before spitting out a single word. "Hurt." Realizing that she had started to speak, Wang Jie felt relieved. "She didn't hurt you so why do you want to hurt her?" (TN: I'm really not sure about this part. 「她不疼你你疼她干什么啊?」 Du Yu Shu glanced at her, remaining silent for several minuted before beginning to speak. "Wang Jie, tell me, do I need editing in order to have results?" Wang Jie though that little ancestor of hers was really too narrow minded, she would probably the death of her. Hastily lowering her voice, "What's wrong with editing the film? What movie doesn't need to be edited at a later stage? How can you look down on editing? It is practically a requirement! If films didn't need to be edited, what's the point of watching them?" Noticing that Du Yu Shu continued to remain silent, Wang Jie could only pat her on the shoulder while continuing to speak. "So what if it needs to be edited later? If you guys..." "I want to go and talk to Ye Jing An." After remaining quiet for quite some time, Du Yu Shu suddenly stood up, removing her jacket as she did so. Her voice was steady. It was like she was saying, 'today's weather is quite good'. Hearing this, Wang Jie was so scared that she directly pulled Du Yu Shu to sit down. "Little ancestor," Wanf Jie said bitterly, "Don't add to the chaos, okay? Must you go and find Ye Jing An to fight? We are soft and weak girls, it is best to just sit still and be quiet!" Restraining herself from rolling her eyes, Du Yu Shu felt extremely helpless. Was the relationship between her and Ye Jing An really so bad? To the point where just saying that she wanted to find the person to talk made others think that she was going to fight? It was a bit depressing. Du Yu Shu couldn't help but feel slightly downcast. "I only want to go and talk with him. We should not bring personal grievances into work." Du Yu Shu stated expressionlessly, her stomach feeling slightly painful though her head was more painful. It was quite uncomfortable. "The two of us are actors, yet in such a simple film we are unable to succeed, having no choice but to rely on editing. If this is leaked, isn't it just too shameful?" "I want to go talk to him. I promise that we will only talk about business matter and that I will definitely not quarrel with him." Noticing Wang Jie's doubtful expression, Du Yu Shu added another sentence. Wang Jie looked extremely moved, "Baby, you have finally grown up. I feel really touched." Du Yu Shu just looked at her expressionlessly. "Baby, you are now so handsome, I want to marry you!" Du Yu Shu just stated expressionlessly, "Ugly, I refuse." Wang Jie, "......" Standing up, Du Yu Shu walked to Ye Jing An. Wei Meng acted like he saw an enemy, immediately frantically staring at Wang Jie for help. SOS, what one earth is happening? Wang Jie ignored him. Du Yu Shu was expressionless as she spoke, "Can we talk?" Wei Meng was completely shocked, viciously pinching his arm, he cried out. Ye Jing An's lips curved upwards, bringing with it a tinge of mockery. "Can." Seeing his expression, Dy Yu Shu became angry. At the back, when the rest of the actors who were currently resting noticed what was going on, they became curious. Taking the time to glance at her every now and then. Du Yu Shu spoke coldly, " As an actor, one must be professional." Ye Jing An laughed softly, his eyes bringing with it a type of light, "Are you saying that I am not professional?" Wang Jie grabbed onto Du Yu Shu's hand, inwardly urging her not to be impulsive. However Du Yu Shu was unexpectedly calm as she continued to speak coldly. "I never said that." "Ah," Ye Jing An laughed coldly. "Then Queen of Movie Du's meaning is?" Du Yu Shu took a deep breath, reminding herself that it was not the the time for fighting. Her stomach felt even more painful, while her face became much chillier. "Do not bring in personal grievances into the studio!" Ye Jing An smiled. "Oh?" He leaned towards Du Yu Shu. Seeing Ye Jing An's enlarged face in front of her, Du Yu Shu subconsciously wished to move backwards but forced herself to halt. "Queen of Movies Du, are you sure you are able to do that?" Ye Jing An's mouth was upturned into a smile. His heat from his breath brushed against Du Yu Shu's face, making her feel slightly itchy. His eyes were extremely clear, exposing traces of ridicule in them. However, in the depths of his eyes, Du Yu Shu thought that she saw the surging undercurrents of emotion... "Of course." Du Yu Shu heard herself reply. Her voice was cold, unfeeling, strict, and sounded official. "In that case, so can I." Ye Jing An moved away, increasing the distance between the two of them as he turned to leave. Coldly speaking, he said, "Do not put your personal grievances at work. This is the basic professionalism of an actor. I am glad to know that Queen of Movies Du knows this point." Ye Jing An's words brought with it countless amounts of ridicule. However, Du Yu Shi did not react. Wang Jie pulled on Du Yu Shu's hand. Just now Ye Jing An and her own artist were having a confrontation. Despite that, right now she was in a weak state. Wang Jie anxiously began to question Du Yu Shu. "Baby, is anything wrong? "Nothing is wrong." Du Yu Shu closed her eyes before lightly speaking. "It's only that my stomach hurts. Is there any hot water?" "There is!" Wang Jie helped Du Yu Shu to sit down before turning around and fetching hot water. Just now when Ye Jing An's eyes flashed, were they a little discouraged? Du Yu Shu fell into a trance as she thought. In the end, was he really discouraged? Upon bringing the water to Du Yu Shu, Wang Jie noticed she was in a trance, distressed, she spoke up. "Baby, is there anything wrong?" "Nothing is wrong." Du Yu Shu recovered her spirits. Taking the cup, she laughed, "My stomach hurts, it uncomfortable." Wang Jie stroked Du Yu Shu's head before turning to Xiao Bai and saying something. Xiao Bai nodded her head repeatedly before leaving the studio. Sure enough, everything just now was nothing but an illusion. Du Yu Shu took a sip of water, her lips curving upwards, giving off a ridiculing feeling. He being such a person, how can he feel discouraged? |
