Chapter 153 Part1 (1/2)
Chapter 153: Sounding of Fireworks (Part 1)
hello, new update!
If you read the Frozen Lake Scene post only up until this line: “Except in the end, he will never be able to see any of this again”, then I suggest you go back to that post to read the last few paragraphs I added to conclude that scene I hadn’t realized I missed a little chunk when I translated the scene because the Chinese website I was translating from cut the chapters funny Thankfully, I found a nice Chinese website that has the chapters cut up correctly and with proper chapter titles so I went back and added it!
IMPORTANT: Original novel is set in some made-up dynasties in ancient China However, I think China probably has some sort of rule where production tea set in non-existent dynasties (because it does not accurately represent Chinese history or soed it and adapted everything into the Wei/Liang dynastic era The surname of Yuan was the actual last name of Wei rulers, and Yuas also the surna that time
Please use the following as a key (some of these places have not yet shown up in my translations, but will soon show up):
Wei = Xia (for those who know Chinese history, this Xia does not seem to be the same Xia as the one in Chinese dynastic order)
Yanbei = Yanbei
Liang = Bian Tang
Yuan = Zhao (so instead of Yuan Chun/Yuan Song/Yuan Che it is now Zhao Chun/Zhao Song/Zhao Che)
Yuwen = Zhuge (so instead of Yuwen Yue it's Zhuge Yue)
Xiao Ce = Li Ce (Li Ce is the ruler of Bian Tang)
Qing Hai = new place in the book created by Zhuge Yue and later ruled together by Zhuge Yue and Chu Qiao
Huai Song = place in book, not in drama
NOTES (to help with your understanding of this chapter!):
Zhu Cheng is a Zhuge fae Yue's faithful followers I don't think he's in the drama version
Jing Zi Su is one of the elder Jing fahters I don't think she's in the drama version either
In the book, Chu Qiao's na Yue'er They changed it to Jing Xiao Liu (小六–Xiao Liufae is because Chu Qiao's ”Yue'er” (月儿) and Zhuge Yue's ”Yue'er” (玥儿) would be too confusing since they are pronounced the same and it is much better for the names to be distinctive
Chu Qiao was actually awake the entire time, but she just did not want to open her eyes She knew that there were peopleout to her, that people were crying sorrowfully, that people were feeding herher but did not come close to her and did not speak either
She knew all this, except she still did not want to wake up She continued to sleep heavily Her heart was like a frozen piece of withered dry-wood, co nutrients She kept on repeatedly having the sa cold inside the dream as she floated in the dark waters of the frozen lake Her surroundings were so cold Pieces of broken ice lightly touched her skin, endlessly Zhuge Yue was facing towards her, sinking doards bit by bit A very faint ray of brightness shone lightly beneath hiht reflected onto his very pale face Only that pair of eyes was still dark and bright like night stars She couldn't tell if he was happy or angry, but those eyes continued to quietly gaze at her, quietly and slowly sink doards
For the first tiile She was exhausted and si about life worth to recall with nostalgia All those dreams and aspirations that she had previously persistently and rated in an instant She didn't want to think; she didn't have the energy to think She didn't even have the courage to open her eyes to face all of reality She wanted to escape; she cowardly thought that if she didn't open her eyes than basically nothing happened Only until this point did she finally realize that she too was a woman, a woman who could be in pain, feel sadness, be hurt, and even more so, to be in despair She refused to eat, refused to take medicine, and refused to even drink water
Until one day, there was a very noisy sound outside her door; so at her An endless aar words flew at her; each and every sentence piercing the bottom of her heart The voice was so familiar, that it prompted her to quickly open her eyes and climb out of bed, only to be
The young housekeeper did not know any martial arts, and thus his entire body was plastered with injuries His clothes were ripped and blotted with multiple blood stains; he looked just like a crazy madman One of his foreare his way in Fresh blood trickled onto the bluestone floor of the courtyard His eyes were flushed red, and while cursing, he used his still-existing aruards did not ruthlessly hurt hi the rooain, and then indifferently looked on at his aard atteet back up
”You cruel, unscrupulous, and ungrateful woman!”
Zhu Cheng roared and hissed at her loudly His entire body was full of sores and frostbite, pus oozing from many places On look and she could tell that he these injuries were fro
Zi Su hugged her, and tried her best to use her hand to cover Chu Qiao's eyes But Chu Qiao stood perfectly straight, like a sharp gun She stoodknocked down continuously and his endless atteain and again
”Stop” Chu Qiao slohispered
”Stop!”
She suddenly yelled in a loud voice, and staggeringly pushed away Jing Zi Su and ran outside The wind outside was so cold, just like an ice-cold knife She ran uards that were blocking her way, loudly yelling: ”Everyone stop!”
