Hello to those who still frequent this blog in hopes for an update ( Read more... )

Happy new year everyone! Hope everyone had a great holiday. I've changed jobs, which explains my conspicuous absence over the past weeks and just came back from a family holiday to Turkey. I'm starting my new job tomorrow, so wish me luck! Any resolutions from the rest of you ( Read more... )

How fitting that Jay Chou's - I wept, my heart in pieces , (listen here) started to play as I was translating the final part of the chapter. I wasn't kidding when I said this chapter would be nothing but tragedy heaped upon tragedy. Prepare the tissues, you're going to need them ( Read more... )

You'll see why I took so long to translate this chapter. From this point on, it is just an endless amount of pain, pain and more pain, oh, not to forget, loads of tragedy too. While I didn't necessarily agree with Yun Ge's actions, I did understand her motivations behind it.

Updated: 16/12 Note: This chapter is too long, I'll have to split it into ( Read more... )

I dreaded to translate this chapter for the longest time. Once this chapter passes, lots of hardship will await our characters and the whole landscape of YZG would have changed as everyone struggles to adapt to a world without Liu Fu Ling. Xiao Mei might have loved him, and not had her love returned, but that doesn't discount her love for him, nor ( Read more... )

I had the most trouble translating this chapter because of the title, and the food names. They don't sound as poetic in English, but if I try to translate them poetically, they don't sound like food. In the end, I had to look up menus and picked the closest translations. As for the title, it is partially lifted from 'The Book and the Sword', and ( Read more... )

This is the chapter before the last chapter of volume 2 (book 1 in the China edition), which has already been translated by Koala. What I love about Yun Zhong Ge is that nothing is ever filler or irrelevant, which makes YZG the perfect book to re-read after all is said and done, then all the small details that seemed insignificant suddenly just ( Read more... )

Now that I have settled (somewhat) into my new role, updates should be more regular, once every three days or so. Apologies for the long wait! Finally after all that angst, we get more cute moments between Yun Ge and Liu Fu Ling, and also a new bromance between Meng Jue and Liu Fu Ling? Or at least, Meng Jue gets a closer look at the person that is ( Read more... )

Late delay there, sorry about that. I'm heading back down under to graduate next week, so travel preparation and work are time suckers in general. I've got no time to polish up the text with chapter breaks, will do so tomorrow. So please bear with me as I edit and update this.

UPDATE: CHAPTER COMPLETE

Koala has already translated Chapter 33, so here's 34.

I was reminded of something I read on my friend's facebook recently: Should we forgive someone if they didn't mean any
harm?

Liu Fu Ling told one harmless lie, not knowing it would lead to a lifetime of pain for Yun Ge. Later on, he was thinking that if only he didn't met Yun Ge, she would have ( Read more... )
