It may take years; I don't care. I won't read this until the translation is complete... I'm going to wait as long as it takes because you are that good. Your skills at translating are superb and as everybody knows, it takes time for great things to happen.Thank you for so much for doing this. It allows us non Chinese-speaking peasants a chance to enjoy this story.****Seems like I have to retract my earlier thoughts on this. My patience wore thin and having not much else to do, I gave in and started reading this. It's definitely a story I won't mind re-reading again and again if and when the updates occur and my covid-brain can't remember what the story entails.I want to describe this in a way that won't spoil it too much and I'm having a hard time of it. There seems to be a lot of juxtaposing of thoughts so it's... complicated. The MC definitely finds herself ensconced in many adventures but she somehow comes out of it pretty much unscathed and even ends up with a lovely princess as a wife. There's cross-dressing involved and misunderstood attractions so if you have a mind, not only is there the expected GL but there's also BL. There's tomfoolery galore thanks to our easygoing MC and tender romance with many moments of serious yearning. A little mystery, too. Slow burn for sure, which makes this a top-notch read.Nearly as important as the story itself, especially for those who can't read Chinese, the translation of this story by Douqi is, bar none, the best you will ever get... maybe even better than the original. I feel bad that one person can spend countless hours toiling over translating this story but it takes mere hours to read. Is that even fair? To balance things out, one person's efforts can bring enjoyment to many others. At least that's how I'd like to think of it.The story has been really fun to read. Not too drawn out in any aspect... just right. It's got a little bit of everything. 5 stars should be given purely based on the translation alone... the story is the exquisite cherry on top.
