“潜龙之渊” “Qianlong Abyss”. There is a chinese idiom from the Yi Jing that is 潜龙在渊 – the hidden dragon within the abyss. It advocates that a gentleman should bide his time, preserve his strength, and not act rashly.

This is also the so-called “fatalism.”

Translator's Note

  2. Xiao Shao you better reject this new boy, or else (ꐦ ಠ皿ಠ )

    But seriously, poor Xiao Shao. Considering that he’d never told Yingying about Lin Shu, I think, he doesn’t believe they’ll ever meet again, so there was no point in telling. And now this! Even the people in the Palace know! I wonder how many times they’d presented Xiao Shao with substitutes?
