Translator's Note

All that was left after the curtains fell and the audience dispersed was the cooled tea and the person gone. (曲终人散、人走茶凉。) – I tried to represent the meaning and changed certain terms a little. Basically, the whole phrase is lamenting the superficiality of human relations. After the interesting part is over, people will leave, leaving the tea to cool.

This is my interpretation: usually, when offered tea, one is expected to finish the drink to show respect to the person who served it. But in this case, people just left without drinking the tea after seeing the play, which means most people have probably abandoned or chose not to have relations with their family after tragedy unfolds.

  1. TvT Luo Jian bb– don’t be sad T.T hahahaha deym Ah Lan and Duan Li hnnnggh I ship them so hard haha i know it’s wrong in a moral perspective but gahd haha.. and what’s the deal with the boy omg I’m excited for the next chamber ❤

    Thank you so much for the chapter!!!~ 🙇🙇🙇🙇🙇🙇🙇🙇

  2. From what I remember in summary;

    Mc got involved in the ‘survival game(?)’ situation. School is the first place taken. Well I don’t know cause I do not read yet.

    Mc awakes in classroom and there’s a paper on table about mission:-

    1.Tell your name

    What you like

    3.Let me kiss you(jokingly add this 😅😆)

    And I’m sure the novel is translate here. Do please tell me the title

  3. What connection does Luo Jian’s Family have with the Chambers? I’m betting a member of his family was the first to completely escape the game. They might have even built that space. hmmmm this is just so good xD

    Thanks for the update!

  4. I really don’t like this side CP.. It’s actually making me sick, there’s no way I’ll ever ship it. I don’t really like Ah Lan anyway, but still, this is messed up.

    Anyway, thanks for the chapter!

    • Same this side cp is kinda annoying and i imagine that mc and this side cp character is a very good friend of his so the author tried to depict that but it just comes across weird…..its like the side character is in love with mc or some shit idk but i really dont like the side character

    • Finally someone who said what I was thinking! I didn’t like ah lan’s caracter from the start, nor his cp partner. Couldn’t understand why people said he was cute adorable etc. He was just annoying to me… saying he was actually braver, but still kept clinging to mc all the time. saying he was sick and pitiful compared to mc, yet mc wasn’t even suposed to survive his 10th birthday! Since this book has a sequel with another couple from the story, im guessing it’s them. Def not gonna read that! For now I will settle for just skimming fast through their parts in this story. Love the main cp though^^
    • Absolutely the same. I have a strange feeling after reading about “strength” and “courage” of Ah Lan… Like he hadn’t done anything special, he has his magic powers and uses them like some kind of Mary Sue. And his r****t is also very disgusting character. Like, why are you blushing? Why are you so calm while talking to this psycho? What this whole situation is, really, I need some explanations…

  5. Why does it has to be a creepy child again? And I’m looking forward to Ah Lan’s beating him up, LJ would help too xD

    Thx for the ch (≧▽≦)/ (Maybe LJ will find out in the next chamber that XY can’t hear or speak.)

  6. Heavens all I can do is brainwash myself with this second CP. sighs Their conversations are…interesting and have a comedic undertone so a somewhat positive light(?) to look forward to whenever the author writes about them(?) I don’t ship it but I have no choice but to accept it. T-T

  7. Ghad, the child with the umbrella is so creepyyy! Wtf, I was just thinking, what if the child is the owner of the chambers or the game creator? Ughhh

  8. I do t rlly understand why some author like to put this “toxic” cp, i mean, why make him the most bad j3rk in da first plac ewhen ltr on u tryin to redeem it, first impression alr important tho so its rlly hard to fix it. It makes me sad cuz eventually i can only rant it here when the author cant even read the comment, jeez sometimes i wish i could explore the author brain haha, thank you for the translation!

  9. Dian Li : I merely want to rape u

    Ml :looks at Dian Li LJ I like u and I merely want to rape u too.with a puppy face

    Lj : that’s not how u say it!

  10. AHHHHH I said I wouldn’t forgive him but who made me soft hearted, I want to hate you and I do but you and your details destroy all my defenses😫.

  11. That little kid… is another kind of stalker? “Red eyes”… made me think it is special characteristic of stalkers. Though why is he eyeing Luo Jian’s uncle. Is he trying to kill Luo Jian’s uncle. I really wonder if Luo Jian’s ancestor had something to do with the chambers and now their descendents are paying the debt? Or maybe they are the one created the chambers and now the chambers’ will is trying to erase them, the threat that can erase them? I remember Asure Realm something something where Xing Yan live in the chamber is an isolated realm created by someone… maybe Luo Jian’s ancestor?
