    • my dear can I bother you for a little second, I really don’t know where else to ask (一。一;;) I just started reading TWF and I noticed that Dan Dan translates directly from jjwxc, some words in ch.23-24-26 were censored so I started panicking hehe, do you know if the rest of the chapters are censored too? ;-;

      • The story hasn’t been updated in a while so I remember the story but I don’t remember things being censored. If you are talking about those small square things which appear instead of words(the only thing I can think of) then yeah it does appear in future chapters.

        • Oh thank you for the quick reply and clarification ♡♡ yes, I was in fact referring to the squares, that left me wondering if other parts were censored too but after reading your comment I feel relieved, now i’m looking forward to continue reading :D. thankies! ( ^o^)ノ\(^_^ )

          • I am not sure if you misunderstood or not but I meant that some words are censored in the future chapters too. However it is really minimal and I think it is mostly for their ancestor’s name(the guy who established the dynasty/kingdom).

        • I think I may have confused you too (very sorry, I’m bad at expressing myself in English ^^”). I took it that the squares will appear again in the next chapters, which isn’t any bother, I checked other websites and could fill in the blanks. but that got me curious to know whether or not the juicy parts were left out (since Dan Dan stated on her coffee page that she uses the raws fom JJ to translate, and the text there is edited/censored). but I undertand from your first replay that she did translate those parts, correct me if i’m wrong (_ _ )*

  1. OMG hooray you’re back! Thanks for the chapter!

    Glad to hear you’re OK, I had covid a couple of weeks ago and it sucked, so you have my sympathy!

  2. Thank you for the update! And please rest well and wish you a speedy recovery, covid sucks. I got it last year and I still suffer from the aftermath even though I got no symptoms when it happened.

  3. The ups and downs in this chapter are wild I really can’t ahaha. I love that the Emperor’s decision was basically to put Jing Shao in charge…so long as he didn’t actually want the throne himself, anyway. To be fair, it’s not a bad choice, Jing Shao really is that straightforward about things—he just wouldn’t make a good Emperor long-term. If it turns out he did all the scheming and preparation this lifetime and then doesn’t need it I’ll actually be pretty excited, it’s rare for a rebirth story to have a character go through great effort to prepare for their future and then have everything fixed by other changes entirely, but it feels very appropriate for a character like Jing Shao who never really did grasp what had gone wrong in the first place

    Thank you so much for translating! I hope you’re feeling better, take care of your health <3

  4. Ahhh! So much happened in this chapter. When the first edict was read, my stomach dropped. Like all that for nothing? I will never understand politics! Luckily, it was the wrong edict. Haha! Thank you for the update!

  5. oh my god so much going on! jing shao rejects being emperor for his jun qing, my heart cannot take this (´;︵;`)

    thank you for the update! i hope you’re feeling well now, translator-san.

  6. omg thank you for the update but more importantly i hope you’re doing better now and that you’re recovering well!

  7. thank you for the chapter and be save and careful … dont forget to have vitamins and fruits, its help me allot during the covid and the recuperation 😄

  8. Wow, the atmosphere was really dense and this ending leave me speechless 😂

    Thank You for the new chapter (´∩。• ᵕ •。∩`)

    ❤ Hope everything is alright at Your end! Wish You the best and take care (づ。◕‿‿◕。)づ

  9. Welcome back!! Thanks for the new chapter!!! Wishing you good health!!!!

    🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️

  10. thanks for the update! covid sucks ugh, rest well and have good food for speedy recovery 💕

    anyway the last one got me into shock for a good 1 second, from this😭 to this 😃 it’s really not good for weak heart 😑

  11. how could he read the wrong edict at the time like that XD,,

    it’s really took my breath.. but then I realized the writer already told us who is the next emperor and who will be next empress and how jing shao will be life his fullest life with jung qin then I am thinking what I am afraid of XD

    dear dan-dan,, I am really missing you like so much, afraid something bad happened to you. so now, I wish you all well and good

  12. The Minister of Appointments is the worse stand up comic, ever.

    Rest well Dan Dan! Thanks for letting have a preview of the new chapter!

  13. Thank you so much for the chapter! I was at the edge of my seat at the end 👀

    Also, so sorry you got covid, that sucks!! 😢😢

  14. Thanks for the chapter! We are so glad you’re better now! Wishing you a full recovery!

    So it was a last test to check the loyalty of his son & see if he can maintain order for the new king!

  15. It is not the wrong edict. That edict is what will be read if Jing Shao had led his troops into the palace or had he shown interest towards the throne. Jun Qing had said, Emperor intended Crown Prince had been Jing Chen from the start. And the second edict is more like a reward for Jing Shao loyalty. Jing Chen will rose like intended as Emperor and Jing Shao is rewarded to be Crown Prince.

    All along, Jun Qing read the Emperor the best .

    I guess last life, after Jing Shao is chase to be executed, Emperor should shortly died of this poisoning too. Because Emperor must have still wanted to name Jing Chen as heir, so the crime of poisoning him fall under Jing Chen. Without Jing Shao’s protection, I doubt Emperor and Jing Chen will last longer after Jing Shao jumped the cliff.

  16. I KNEW IT! The late Empress was got poisoned too!Btw, wrong imperial edict LMAO 😂

    Thankyou for the update, hope you are doing well ^^

  17. Thank you for coming back and I’m happy you are better now! This chapter was TENSE but I loved it!

    When they read the wrong edict omg ahahah

    Also, it was a test basically??

    I’m loving this story so much, I’m sad it’s almost over 🙁

    Thank you for your hard work ♡

  18. Being ill with Covid is no fun at all, stay healthy and welcome back! Thank you for at the chapter, yay!

    The emperor is a tactician through and through. He had an edict ready for each answer. Yes= You’re a traitor, because I’m giving it to your brother and I don’t want you to rise-up in the future. No= We can all trust you going forward. And of course he wants Jing Chen to know that he’d made plans for either outcome (cause, who knows, JC might have to do something similar in the future).

  19. Awww….can’t wat for the finale…Take care your healt Translator San and hope to hear from you soon again😍😗😍😗😍😗

  20. Dan Dan darling, I’m very grateful that you haven’t given up on this novel 😭 I hope you recovered well hugs I’ll wait for your return forever! 💛 there’s somthing that’s been on mind, I was wondering if you’re posting the Mini theaters on your Patreon? because I’ve noticed that some of them are missing. They’re quite cute. I’m curious to know whether you have plans to translate them 😊

  21. Hi Dan-dan Mien. Thank you for your kind effort. It has been more than 3 months since the last updates. Looking forward to the new chapters soon. 🙏🙏🙏

  22. Wow thanks for the chapter, sorry to hear you were sick. hoping that you are feeling better and would be finishing the translation soon.

  23. i just caught up with all the updates after the middle of the 2nd volume…… its been 6 months since chapter 104 is posted? has this project been abandoned or did we get some other news about the translator on discord?

    • I actually already read from jjwxc directly. even not fully understand I got rough picture of the story. but still I think dan-dan translation is the best one I ever read. let’s we wait Dan-dan to comeback 😭

  24. my dear dan dan,,

    it’s been 8 months I didn’t hear anything from you. whenever I miss you I used to go to your YouTube channel but now it’s really all gone. it is okay if you are busy and doesn’t have time to translate but please just reply this one so I know you are all okay rn😭😭

  25. 😭😭 Dan-dan, I miss you so much. I already finished this story long ago but I really miss your work. your comment and explanation, and so much more. I learn Mandarin because of you☺️. So I hope you read this, and know that I wish you all the best wherever you are

  26. after reading a couple of time back and forth I am starting to think that emperor purposely make the minister read the first edict to show jing shao how a greedy him will end up, and the second edict to show him a reward for he full fills his duties as cheng wang. if jing shao accept to be the next emperor then it means he didn’t aware of his capabilities over his older brother, luckily jun qin existents weighing him a lot.. jun qin is really his life companion in the two lifetime

  27. Sorry for asking stupid. But at some part this chapter are mentioning CW.Is that the same as ChengWang or does it mean something else?
