Sneak Peak
Zhan Zhao shook his head indifferently. He traced Bai
Yutangβs sharp and handsome silhouette with his finger and spoke in a low
voice, βIf there comes a day where you are gone and I am
the only one left, I might end up walking the same path as Zhao Jue.β
Bai Yutang looked at Zhan Zhao for a while, βWhy?β
Zhan Zhao smiled softly, βBecause without you, life is no longer meaningful to me.β After speaking, he reached out and gently pulled Bai Yutangβs collar, leaned in, and kissed him. (Volume 2 Chapter 46 / Case 7 Chapter 19)

Character Guide
I have created a character guide that will help you remember each of the important characters that are around throughout the book. You can find it over here.
Important Note From the Translator
This is a very intensively and carefully edited MTL. I use up to three different translation tools, as well as Chinese dictionaries, chengyu dictionaries, Baidu web searches, Baidu Baike, Baidu Zhidao, and other Chinese websites to try to make sure the original meaning and tone are preserved and that idioms, cultural references, and historical references are explained. While I am actively learning Mandarin, I am nowhere near the level I would need to be to do this without the use of such tools, however I do have a good understanding of how to spot idioms and such.
My translations are not 100% literal, but I try my best to keep the translations accurate and faithful to the spirit of the original. This means that I will edit out redundant words, add a necessary word, and rearrange some words or phrases in order for my final work to not only translate the original text into English, but also to have a translation that flows as smoothly in the target language as it does in the source language.
Other Notes
I started volume two of this novel after reaching out the the active translator at the time, Lilies are Flowers, and receiving her permission. She was super nice and allowed me to work on volume two and beyond, so I must thank her.
I am using the raw files from jjwxc. I don't know if there are censorship differences between this and the physical book, but I do know that the physical book has some bonus chapters. I don't have access to the physical book so I won't be able to do those bonus chapters.
Why I can't access the link for vol 1 case 4? The other 2 cases are highlighted, but the remaining cases (3,4,5) are not highlighted. Please do answer this querry.
ReplyDeleteVolume 1 is being translated by Lilies are Flowers, and she has not gotten to those cases yet, so they do not have links. Once she gets to those cases , I will update the page and link them, but she is currently taking a break to focus on her tests at school.
DeletePlease tell me there will be a sequel?
DeleteWould you be translating volume 4 and 5 as well?
ReplyDeleteI really like your translations! keep up the good work
I definitely plan to! I am so glad you like my translations, that means a lot to me π₯°
DeleteHiii, have you translated Volume 3 Case 12 & 13?
DeleteNot yet, I'm still working on case 11
DeleteThank you thank you thank you so much for the translationsπππ.
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome! Thank you for reading my translation β€β€β€
Deletehey can you please translate volume1 case 4 and 5 πππ
ReplyDeleteI would, but I don't want to take over what Lilies are FLowers is working on. If she goes on a definite hiatus, then I will reach out to her, but I will 100% respect her and her work on volume 1.
DeleteI think lililies as flowers has dropped volume 1 cause she hasnβt translated killer training camp either and hasnβt uploaded any updates or any chapter since 2020
DeleteMagic murderer * she has done killer training camp
DeleteHave you thought of putting each finished "Case" on one file and putting it on google drive to make it easier to read. like this...
ReplyDeletehttps://drive.google.com/drive/folders/11E7ocfqvWTZF_t673se3IVNAxx5_yPBc
or this
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1o2UaYa3UBf435dSMHcTZad4O0wgc6M-4
I've considered it, but I really like having access to the readership statistics and having people be able to comment on it. This is something I might do in the future, but as for right now, it's not in my plans.
DeleteThank you so much for translating book 2 completely and now book 3, itβs really hard to find people translating this book so I am glad you are doing it, I wanna know what happens next I love the couples. Thank you for Taking over it from book 2 , if itβs possible can you also translate cases 4 and 5 for book 1 novel updates donβt have them and the websites that were translating novel 1 also havenβt translated them
ReplyDeleteIf Lilies hasn't uploaded SCI when I am done the other book I am working on, I will reach out to her and see what her plans are.
DeleteI'm normally not a fan of MTL but thank you so much for taking the time to fix things instead of just giving us what google translate spits out. Really love your work and you!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you are enjoying it too. I also don't like raw, or basically raw, MTL, that's why I decided to do it myself. Thank you for reading and enjoying it!

ReplyDeleteThank you so much for reading and enjoying my work! I am very grateful for everyone who chooses to read it, and I definitely plan to continue working on this book!
DeleteHello, I just wanted to say thank you very much for taking the great task of translating the books and all the cases, I love this series of books, I love the characters and since I read the first book I couldn't stop (hehe I've also reread them), Your translation is beautiful and is very well understood, I really thank you very much for continuing it.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much reading my work, and thank you for such an amazing compliment! When I started, the quality was definitely no where near as good as it is today, but I am in the process (albeit the very, VERY slow process) of going back to volume 2 to bring the quality up. I also love this series and its characters, so I want to do it and its fans justice β₯β₯β₯
DeleteHello! Are you still working on the side stories of novel 4 and the 5th novel? I am super interested since no ones else has brought the translations these far! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteSide stories? Are they posted separately on JJWXC or are they in the official chapters? Anything that is included in the official chapters on JJWXC will be done.
DeleteThank you for the continued work on this! I watched the drama series soon after it came out and liked it. I read the translations available at that time. Glad to have found your site with the rest of the books!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you found my site as well! Thank you for reading! β€οΈ

ReplyDeletecan you please translate next case of vol 5 please!!!!
ReplyDeleteDon't worry, it's coming! I'm already working on case 23, I'm just keeping to a reasonable upload schedule so I can edit them thoroughly and have a good backlog to post in case I need to take time off translating π
Delete@angel why I can't read starting from volume 5 case 21 all show vip can u please mention what can I do .
ReplyDeleteIs it volume 6 is available ????
Hi! I don't lock any of my chapters behind any kind of paywall or membership (I don't think that is right because we don't own these novels), so I'm not sure why you can't access them, unfortunately. π₯
DeleteAs for volume 6, I will be working on it, but I'm not even finished posting volume 5 yet, so that will come with time.
Thank you so much for this translation Angelπ after watching the series, i just can't get enough of our dearest cat and mouseπ₯°
