Translator's Note

Disclaimer: I used the translation by Stephen Owen and Wendy Swartz for this.

This poem was composed by a famous poet named Ruan Ji and It was one of the earliest homosexual poems ever recorded during Ancient China. Anling and Longyang were both real people who lived years before Ruan Ji; because of some things they did, they became male models of this poem.

Translator's Note

Arrogant way of saying ‘I’.

Translator's Note

您, formal form of ‘you’.

    • I was just getting disgusted again due to how very emphatic everyone was about how promiscuous ML is in this life. Fortunately, author-daren came through in the end!

      (Also, just wanted to mention in case anyone thinks I’m being too judgemental about people with a lot of different sex partners, that there’s a difference between being disgusted by those who engage in promiscuity because of lust and overindulgence, and being disgusted by those who were/are being forced by circumstances. Whether those circumstances are purely being subjected to actual physical force, or being forced to resort to selling themselves for survival; that’s a completely different thing. It’s like if you found out someone who had been through hardships was forced to eat rats. It’s dirty and disgusting, but they can’t be blamed for doing what they had to in order to survive. If anything, you feel even more compassion and sympathy for them than others would, because your obsession with cleanliness makes their difficulties feel so much more unbearable to you than others might think of them as, and makes you feel so much worse for them for having to go through that. Whereas if you found out that someone ate rats for pleasure… that’s a bit of a “special” hobby that people like myself who are obsessed with cleanliness can’t really accept so easily.)

  1. Hahaha, made the gong impotent.

    THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR ALL YOUR HARD WORK!!!!!!

  2. *Little Theatre*

    Commercial Guy: Are you a domineering Gong ML? Is your cucumber sad and unresponsive? Is your “great dragon” unable to rise? Is your gigantic gun shoot unable to shoot properly? If all of those conditions apply to you then get a “Gu Bai”! It has many editions like a “Rong Yi” edition, aaaand it is design to be your wifey and partner for life. Even for papapa~ 😉

    Commercial Guy 2: Get it now and you’ll get a free “care package” to please your new wifey in bed 😉

    ML: ԅ(♡﹃♡ԅ) (Wifey..!)

    MC: *shivers* (´・ω・`)? (Is my great gong thinking about me again? Well he better be! Once I grasp him, he’ll never think and flirt with others! (`ヘ´)

    As a punishment, I’m going to tease him as I please! Hmph! <(`^´)>)

    Kookies: Poor GB. Never tease a dragon or you’ll suffer the consequences…

    – End –

    Thank you for the chapter! Turns out he was impotent all along lolololol

    I bet he’ll have many cold baths in the future~! 😏

  3. I couldn’t stop laughing at the end,,, so our ml had such an illness? Pfft- well I guess he’s cured,,,

    The guards never really left! What if they were actually watching the whole time? Awkward 😶

    Thank you for the chapter 💞

  4. Shamelessly showing of his hard lower half to his subordinate … How perverted!!!

  5. So Xue Han is already cured of the poison? 🤔 and he agreed just to keep contact with Gu Bai? Nice move~ too bad Gu Bai didn’t know about your physical ailment and is planning to keep up the teasing for a while 🤭

    Refuel ML!

  6. So they’re bloodhound-guards? Hmmmm… seems about right.

    Thanks for the chapter!

  7. uhm.. algo me dice que el hermano pequeño solo funciona con GB, entonces ¿cómo es eso de que tiene mascotas y mujeres con él? ¿Apariencias? y… yo también, autor… los guardias estaban afuera, no había asesor… pero ahora hay??.

  8. immortal soulmates tries enemies(?) to lovers trope! 😂 ah, nothing really beats the sexual tension in a stabbing scene (or in this case, just lightly slashing lol)

  9. Dead ass our Abby will be happy to hear he was impotent with all the beauties around. 😂😂 He is just for him.

  10. “Old Gong” LMAO is this a play on words? Not only is he your old Gong, he’s also your husband (老公) 💀💀

  11. I just discovered that for some reason my comment is being posted as a reply to someone else’s comment rather than a regular comment, but because there’s no way to edit or delete comments after posting them I can’t fix it. Which is super annoying.
