Zhaoyao OST translations + interpretation

The song is Zhao Yao by Chen Chusheng and Hu Shasha.
Zhao Yao, the drama's chinese title, also means ostentatious but in this context I believe the song stands for the main character's name.

Master is old chapter 8 + epilogue (END)

This is the end! I'm not sure if I'll pick up the other stories so feel free to requests other translators to translate the other stories in this compilation. Thank you for all your support!

Master is old chapter 7

One more chapter before everything ends! Also if it's not clear, Qinghan switched bodies with the Demon King and not his father Prince Li.

Chapter 7

In the darkness, I dreamt about many past events, and they were all about Qinghan. Actually, if I could keep meeting him, even if I was stuck in dreaming for eternity, I did not mind.

Dreaming and dreaming of the past, they somehow seemed to actually become real. I actually felt someone hold my hand and hoarsely call out beside me, “Master.” It was so regretful, so uneasy, and so upset.

Master is old chapter 6

Well, she is called 灵女 which can translate to spirit girl or fairy girl... I know it's weird to call someone from the demon realm a fairy but oh well.

Chapter 6

That brat still did not leave. Someone who could endure this wind and snow yet not fall sick was probably not an ordinary mortal. It was likely that my powers had regressed too much and I could not detect his cultivation.

Master is old chapter 5.2

This is part 2, I actually think this is about the length of a normal chapter if not a bit more. 

Chapter 5.2

I expanded a great amount of energy to break his formation but was left without the energy to go against him. He trapped me with a spell, causing me to be stuck above the lake as I helplessly watched him take my Lishui sword from my hands right in front of me.
**It was winter to I’m guessing above the lake means on the hardened ice.

My lips trembled and I was angered beyond measure.

Master is old chapter 4

As I was lying on the bed, my thoughts started drifting. On matters such as romance, I was not as innocent as I said I was; I also had some secrets that I did not tell anyone.

　　

About a hundred years ago, Qinghan gradually grew up and that stunning face of his that would put the men of the three worlds to shame would dazzle me every day. It was inevitable that my heart which had been dry and dull for so many thousands of years to have some ripples.

At that time, I had only experienced the ruthless battlefield and was a female war god that was inexperienced in matters of love. I was too pure. So innocent that I didn’t even know that I was starting to think of Qinghan differently…

Master is old chapter 3

Chapter 3! I was just wondering if you guys are enjoying this story because I saw that the its ratings are really bad on novelupdates haha. I don't think this story is fantastic but I do think it's a short and cute story nonetheless and wanted to share it with everyone. I'm not sure, is it the story itself or my translations? Anyway, for those of you who do like it, enjoy~

Chapter 3

I stopped accepting disciples, even if this youth had a face more attractive than the Qinghan I first met.

Thinking about the past made me lose my appetite.

The person opposite me carefully observed my expression and asked with concern, “What’s the matter?”

Master is old Chapter 2

I finished translating faster than expected so here you go! But I think the rest of the chapters will still stick to a weekly schedule. Also, please point out any mistakes, thanks!

Chapter 2

Actually, about a hundred years ago, I also once had a disciple. But that disciple died...
　　
He stole my divine sword, rebelled against me, went to settle his personal grudges and then he...

Master is old prologue and chapter 1

Hello! I'm back after more than 2 years! I'm busy refining my past translations (which made me cringe) and organising my posts.

This story is from a web novel by Jiu Lu Fei Xiang called the Master Series and it's published under the name Master Feels Stifled, the name of the first story. It is a collection of 4 short xianxia stories about Master-disciple relationships. This is the 3rd story in the collection, Master is old. There are 8 chapters and it will be a weekly release (or more) so it should take 2 months or less to be completed. After I'm done I will pick another Jiu Lu Fei Xiang story to translate cuz I love her xianxia novels.

Story 1: Master feels stifled

Story 2: Master is sick

Story 3: Master is old

Story 4: Master, let's fight

Note:

3 worlds refer to the heavenly realm, the human realm and the demon realm.

  

Prologue
　　

I was the last ancient immortal, hailed as the female War God. After fighting for half my life, when the 3 worlds were at peace, I lost my job. I've already forgotten how long I’ve lived. I’ve seen the happiness of youth, the destitution of the poor, cycle after cycle of life, over and over again. The more time passed, the less I yearned for the things of the world.
　　

I think, the day I die is not too far off.
　　

But the heavens would not let me quietly leave and insisted on throwing a new episode in my life when I was quickly approaching the grave. It was even the colour of spring...

The kind that all three worlds knew about….
　　

The kind that...
　　

made me unable to save my old face.

Chu Wang Fei Mini Snippet

Ps, still cannot reply comments using my phone because replies will double :( This is very short and unedited translation.

Yun Qian Meng had nothing to do and her hands felt rather itchy, thus she allowed Mu Chun to prepare some brocade so that she could learn to embroider from Mi Momo.  It was just that the embroidery needle refused to listen to her, after more than half a day, others would have completed a peony blossom while she had barely managed to finish a rather crooked four leaf clover, some of its parts were densely stitched together while other parts were had sparse stitchings, honestly it was rather ugly!

Her neck was starting to get sore and she lifted her head up, only to find that it was already dark, thus she allowed Mu Chun and the other servants to go back and rest. After that, she once again engaged in a battle with the embroidery needle.

“What is this? Why does it look so peculiar?” A black shadow suddenly blocked off the candle light in front of Yun Qian Meng’s eyes.

Hearing this, Yun Qian Meng lifted her head up only to find Chu Fei Yang in a black brocade robe, bending down to examine her embroidery with curiosity. She immediately felt extremely embarrassed, without even thinking, she adeptly covered the four leaf clover, refusing to let Chu Fei Yang see her terrible handiwork!

“Aiya…”  She had forgotten that the embroidery needle still stuck out from the brocade and accidentally pricked her right index finger, the pain caused her to exhale and her delicate eyebrows pressed together slightly.

“So careless!” With regards to Yun Qian Meng’s rarely seen rashness, even though Chu Fei Yang’s used a reproachful tone, he still grabbed her right hand and looked at the thin pinkish finger’s drop of scarlet blood. Without much thought, he placed her finger into his mouth.

Just friends?! Synopsis + Snippet

This is originally a Taiwanese novel so you read it up to down, right to left in traditional Chinese. I borrowed this book from a friend, it's in simplified Chinese cuz I can't read traditional Chinese hohoho, but the book retained its vertical sentence structure. It's about two childhood friends, both named Ting Yu. The female Ting Yu is tall and often mistaken for a handsome boy while the male is a flower boy. the story shows how they grow, how they both broke up with their partners and fell in love etc. This story is honestly not my cup of tea but I did find some of the character's interactions cute and funny.

Synopsis:

"From friends to lovers, there is a benefit. Because the two people already have a certain degree of closeness so they can pass the awkwardness of people who have just started dating."

"What about lovers who became friends?"

"That will be even more precious. Because we have loved before, lost before, so we will understand each other even better and know how to treasure this friendship which is not easily obtained."

"Then what if we were friends and became lovers and then became friends again?"

Chu Wang Fei Snippet Chapter 98

[1] The Bei Qi imperial family were here and were also looking for a marriage alliance. Bei Qi is weaker compared to this country.

*I forgot who was the Crown Prince and Tenth Prince so there may be a mix up...

Background info:
The females were in the outer court of the imperial gardern. The males the inner court. All sorts of people wanted to implicate Yun Qian Meng and make her marry one of the Bei Qi royalties. Or maybe make the Bei Qi princess marry Chen Wang or Chu Fei Yang? Yun Qian Meng took a pill and drew dots on her face to feign illness so that she could wear a veil  Anyway, in the end Hai Tian was the sacrifice.

Fine gauze veils used in ancient times.

Snippet 4 Chapter 98:

The parody of the cowherd and Weaver girl Chapter 1

[1] Literally little white face, meaning effeminate man

[2] Literally idiotic men, complaining/ resentful women, meaning pining lovers who usually for whatever reason cannot get married.

Chapter 1

The messenger Chapter 1 part 1

As per request of Gina Tran :)
I am translating the first chapter as this book's chapters are quite short! 

P.s I'll translate 2 ex husband 1 stage at a later time cuz it's really long haha.

I have no idea how to translate this :(
Gui (spirit/ghost) tou (head) dage (older brother)
Essentially he is her boss so she is calling him something like older brother boss??? I'm so sorry T-T
I'll stick to Big Brother Ghost.
[2] In the underworld, dead souls have to drink this to forget everything about their past lives before reincarnation.
[3] Ancient unlined long gown worn by men.

Chapter 1 Part 1

I'm a (spirit) messenger.

Strictly speaking, I cannot be considered an official messenger yet.

Chu Wang Fei Snippet Chapter 115: Wedding

This chapter is on their wedding day! Anyone excited? Okay so to give background info: Chen Wang kidnapped Yun Qian Meng and wanted to marry her while giving her a new identity, who knew that she was swapped with Yun Ruo Xue and he actually went through the wedding ceremony with her 0__o The  he got news that Chu Fei Yang was suddenly marrying Yun Qian Meng tonight so he rushed to the prime minister's estate which was decorated in red blah blah blah but turns out that the actual ceremony was held in Chu wang's estate. Chu Wang is Chu Fei Yang's grandfather if you guys forgot. Anyway since Chen Wang went alone he could not beat Chu Fei Yang, Chu Wang and Xi Lin together so he gave up. This snippet picks up when they are in the newly wed's chamber. Btw, for those of you who will be disappointed, I did not translate the bed scene... yea...

Snippet Chapter 115

Jiang Hu Lu Wan Wan chapter 1

**I made some minor adjustments in hopes that it will be easier to read.

This novel is kind of like a Wuxia novel so there would be a lot of new terms. I learnt them from watching Jin Yong's dramas hahaha. Anyway, enjoy :)

*A sect is like a fraction. There are good and bad sects. Usually women from evil sects are called demonesses.

Sheng Gu =Literal meaning: Holy/ sacred/ great woman

Jianghu = martial arts world, the equivalent of Korea's Murim 

This chapter has been proofread by Yuan-niisan

Chapter 1: Not of age yet I already look like this

Pang Wan stared at the mercury mirror, lost in thought.

The reflection belonged to a radiant and beautiful young girl with a clean and bright oval face, thin eyebrows, cunning pitch-black eyes and red cheeks as if she had put blusher on. She had a small mouth with dimples on both her cheeks.

"... Not of age yet I already look like this, in the future, just how many heroes would fight for me?"      

   

Fat is beautiful novel introduction and mini translation

As a Christmas present for you guys~~~ 

[Note: I changed my phone and somehow all the translations which I saved as notes in my phone are lost including Gu Fang Bu Zi Shang's epilogue and Chu Wang Fei chap 104's snippet which is why this holiday even though I promised more translations they never appeared T-T Sorry!]

This novel is by Jiu Lu Fei Xiang.

A Picture Story

If you remember the short story, this is the actually what happened hahaha, presenting you the original pictures~ I will translate the words~

Girl: You can leave again, I will continue to search, search for ten years, twenty years! Until how long then will you be satisfied? Just how long will it take you to say one sentence [You have worked hard, I have waited very long for you] ? Or actually do you really not want to see me? Then you can say... [You are annoying! Quickly get lost!] Then I will obediently leave, I will never annoy you again.

Guy: Fool... I have waited for you for so long... You are very late, I am angry.

*I am not sure if there are other pictures for this story because I haven't seen anymore. But leaving it here probably means there is a good ending unlike the short story I wrote heheheh, this make me feel better. HE is the best :P I think (not sure) the artist of these pictures is Ibuki Satsuki, she has lovely art!

Chu Wang Fei Snippet Chapter 103

Just a few things to note to facilitate your reading: 

-Yun Qian Meng has 2 cousins (older brother and younger sister pair) from her mother's side whom she is quite close to, they are genuinely nice people. The cousin she is referring to is the girl who is a few years older than her. 

-Prior to this chapter, Chu Fei Yang had visited Yun Qian Meng's room in the middle of the night a few times without her consent.

-This scene takes place after a gathering at Chen Wang's place. Wu Qin Qin is someone who approached Yun Qian Meng with hidden agendas a few chapters prior to this.

-During the gathering, Chen Wang was alone with Yun Qian Meng is a fake hill/ mountain/cave kinda thing and tried to use force on her. Luckily Chu Fei Yang appeared in time.

-Later on during that gathering, Yun Qian Meng retailiated and trapped Wu Qin Qin.

- [1] The second character of one's name + the character "er" is used as a term of endearment. Used for women and children.

-The gathering happens some time after Yun Qian Meng was bestowed to Chu Fei Yang. (When he knelt down and asked the emperor to allow him to marry Yun Qian Meng in front of so many people kyaaaaa)

-[2] Wang Fu: Prince's mansion. For Chu Fei Yang, since he is the prime minister 相 Xiang, his mansion will be called Xiang Fu.

Chapter 103's Snippet:

A short story

Okay! A short story for you guys! The above picture was what inspired me to write it lol~ And since my Chinese is pretty bad, I think that there are certain grammatically wrong sentences XP.

The text says : I have waited for you for so long... ... You are very late, I am angry.

Anyway, I included and English translation so enjoy! Hopefully this keeps you satisfied for a few weeks while I translate the Chu Wang Fei snippet haha.
