Translator's Note

Referring to a poem by Bai Juyi called “The Everlasting Regret”, the line is referring to how an emperor and one of his consorts had a great time doing the do and bc they did it so late into the night, the emperor stopped going to morning court. The original poem & English translation: http://www.ldbj.com/tangshi_300/changhenge_zhongying_duizhao.htm Jing Shao switched out “Emperor” for “Wang Ye” LOL

  1. ˚✧₊⁎❝᷀ົཽ≀ˍ̮ ❝᷀ົཽ⁎⁺˳✧༚ my eyes have been blessed

    Thank you for the chapter ☆〜(ゝ。∂)

  2. Of course the minister is the gou! His advices are the Stuff his wife used to seduce him, hehehe.

    Finally Mu Hanzhang can have pleasure in that bed!

    Thanks for the chapter!

  3. Huehuehuehue. 🎊🎊🎊🎊 Someone finally hit the jackpot and ate tofu!!! Congratulations for the both of you! 😌😽✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

    (Talking about reading smutty things out loud…I once read a very smutty TMR/HR from AO3 unintentionally. Yeah. Thankfully, no one was harmed e.g. moi. My sis just gave me the most judgy frown ever. 😅😅😅😅)

    • What is TMR/HR?? *confused* new BL terminology??

      Also, DdM, thanks for the new chapter.

      I did indeed see it coming that the shou was the assistant minister.

      • It is a Tom Marvolo Riddle/Harry Potter pairing in ArchiveOfOurOwn. Under Harry Potter fanfiction. (TMR is Lord Voldemort’s original name. He is the hotter, younger version of him. Imagine the 2nd year Diary-horcrux form.) Its not Chinese BL. 😅

  4. it was very obvious that Xiao Yuan was the shou when his wang fei once mentioned that he better take something out of being made to wear pink in chapters before XD

    • but if you think about it Zhou Jin is very considerate of his husband Xiao Yuan’s status. Being an official if found out that he’s the shou, wouldn’t people laugh at him.

      • Yeah, I was about to comment that too. Also, as a husband, his status is WAY above his wife’s. So he’s on the bottom either because he prefers it that way or loves his wife so much that he willingly submits to him. And I think it’s the latter, judging by their interactions. Which is quite a big deal, since in those ancient novels status is very important, sometimes even more important than life. So, yeah, I have immense respect for this cute, little shou.

    • It is a Tom Marvolo Riddle/Harry Potter pairing in ArchiveOfOurOwn. Under Harry Potter fanfiction. (TMR is Lord Voldemort’s original name. He is the hotter version of him. Imagine the 2nd year Diary-horcrux form.) Its not Chinese BL. 😅

  5. I am so happy for Mu Hanzhan, he finally knows that sharing most intimate moments with the person you love is not a painful torture, but the opposite. Now my heart doesn’t have to break for him so much.Though, I absolutely disagree with the author’s note – good things should be shared! Also, if you manage to read a juicy, smutty scene out loud in front of the audience, after that you won’t be tense and awkward during job interviews, presentations or public performances anymore. What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger! Just make sure there aren’t any recording devices within 10 km radius.

  6. I knew it!!! The moment I heard Xiao Yuan’s Wang Fei’s description, I knew something isn’t right. Xiao Yuan was obviously the shou! ^v^😂

  7. I’m not ashamed to say that I actually screamed yes when I saw this notification. To Xiao Shang and Jun Qing, more happy bedroom times to come~. I was lowkey waiting for a confirmation that the Minister was the shou, lmao.

    Thank you for the update

  8. So thats why Xiao Yuan could give proper advise cause he is the shou! Im happy that MHZ had a good experience.

    Thank you for the chapter!

  9. I thought Xiao Yuan was reversible…

    Why do feel like I just molested Mu Hanzang ⁄(⁄ ⁄•⁄ω⁄•⁄ ⁄)⁄

    Thank you for blessing me with this beautiful chapter hehe…being lowkey at work hehehe

  10. Aww man I was hoping assistant minister would be the gong. I love shorter gongs haha

    I’m so glad to see happy couples all around

    Thank you for the chapter~

  11. I did when he said wife was a head taller! I rarely see gong in novel have height lesser than uke. In 30 days agreement being gay uke got his position just cause he had teo less pack. Sad sad.

  12. I actually alr guessed it, since Zhou Ge mentioned how he’d take advantage coz he’d get punished the first time Jing Shao went to their place XD

    In a way, it’s good, the experience shou is giving advice to the in-experience gong and it’ll benefit the in-experience shou XD

    Then, for public, male wife is totally the ‘wife’ .

  13. Well, it’s good that Wang Ye got his tips from a shou. Because this way he got helpful informations from one who knows exactly what the Wang Fei has to… erm.. “endure”…

    • Aside from that, it’s rather obvious.

      Zhou Jin (wife) – tall, strong and handsome = obviously a gong

      Xiao Yuan (husband, minister) – short, goodlooking, overly enthusiastic in explaining bed matters = can only be a shou, who tries to act like a gong outside

      Where is there a gong, who is shorter than his shou? Well, if you ignore Xiu’s dwarfen form…

  14. Thank you so much for your hard work on this translation ♥️ yup the author was rather heavy with the hints ( ꈍᴗꈍ) and yay consensual enjoyable consummation!! Plus the minister does have experience – what worked well on him ಡ ͜ ʖ ಡ

  15. Mu Hanzang finally had a good experience!! I’m so happy for them <3 also lmao the official was actually the bottom for his wife? PLOT TWIST :’O

  16. Author: Now everyone together come laugh secretly together hehehehehehe~

    ☆*・゜゚・*\(^O^)/*・゜゚・*☆

    Hail the author and the translator! HEHE!

    ‘Also, anyone else guess that Xiao Yuan was pretending to be experienced and was actually the shou??? ;3’

    Me, me! (≧▽≦)/~

    Thanks for the chapter ^^

  17. Assistant Minsiter’s “wife” is actually the husband..lol

  18. Kyahhhh (⁄ ⁄> ⁄ ▽ ⁄ <⁄ ⁄) al fin, y así una mala experiencia es lavada por otra, jajajaja lo sabía el caso del ministro, es el Uke… bueno, es mejor así, pues aconseja mejor a este seme novato, jajajajaja…

  19. When I read this chapter, the sky suddenly turned dark and wind blows fiercely. Many rooftiles, roof sheetings, were blown away and trees felled down. I need to fix mine in the middle of the rain. At least the electricity were cut off. Or not. I suddenly fear for the electricity men….

    Thanks for the chapter! Congrats for our main couple for finally doing the deed, lol. It was so much better because feelings were involved.

    Also, that Author’s note, lol. Reminds of the times I am reading MM novels on my reader during my daily metro commute & get to NSFW passages. The key is to remain casual. I live in Paris, & read a lot in English, which is not the favorite language here, lol, so even snooping neighbors wouldn’t be interested if I kept a straight face…

    About the side couple, I thought I was sure that the wifey was in charge, lol, with the minister venting his feelings by making his wifey were absurd colors (with a side effect of detracting bees & butterflies around his beloved wifey).

    • i was skeptical about it at first, but Xiao Yuan just confirmed it! The wife is gong! 😂😂😂 Zhou jin GONG! 😂😂😂

  21. I had already guessed that Xiao Yuan is a shou when in one of the previous chapters Mr. Zhou thought that he should not provoke Xiao Yuan as he had already bullied him last night

  22. Exactly! I was so shocked the first time I read it that I had to reread for a couple of times to finally validate that the minister was actually the uke in their relationship 🤣🤣🤣

  23. It been a long time i read chiness BL novel with real smut TT.TT Damn you chinesess cencorship!!!

    Thank you translator 🙏💖

  24. I also suspect Xiao Yuan is actually the shou. But I want his tall powerful wife to be a power bottom DoS who bullies the poor minister in bed. lol

  25. I was somewhat suspicious of Xiao Yuan and his wife role in bed since when he said he will bully his husband but the way XY expressed his knowledge was confusing

    And here he says this with a waist pain

    But again, the waist is the part which work the more when the going thrust so…

  26. HE IS THE GONG?

    Now I understand why the minister doesn’t need a concubine or second wife

    Damn it, THIS IS WHAT I CALL NEWS!!!

  27. Omg the male wife is the gong ahhhh Assistant Minister is actually teaching Jing Shao what he himself experiences and likes in bed so it is even more effective! 🤣

  28. Awwww is xiao yuan a shou and giving him instructions based on his experience ??? 😭😭😭😭✋✋✋✋

  29. Lol I guess XY was the shou a couple of chapter ago when his husband was complaining about not having bullied him the day before but being made to wear baby pink 😂

  30. HEHEHEHEHEHE… 🤭🤭🤭

    i expected the assistant minister is a shou since the beginning. why? because his wife looks too dominant over him 😂 those gaudy coloured clothes he was wearing as punishment must be because he bullied the assistant minister too much in bed🤣🤣🤣

  31. Okay Xiao Yuan wasn’t pretending but just telling Jing Shao how he was tame by his wife and who said the wife his to be the shou 🤭🤭 i think it’s refreshing
