Why Harem Intrigue When You Can Just Raise A Dog Instead? (Chp 27)

Chapter 27: Grounded (禁足)

English proofreaders: JimmyfromIT
& 247Reader

To prepare my website for Google Adsense, I’ve moved this chapter. Please find the full version here! Enjoy~ I’d appreciate it if you left a like or comment after you’re finished. Thank you!

September 2020 Edit: JimmyfromIT was kind enough to go back through my translations and edit all the ones he hadn’t done yet. The chapter should read a lot smoother now. Goodness, there were a lot of mistakes in this chapter looking back on it~ (> o <);;

November 2021 Edit: 247Reader has done another pass-through for this chapter! Thanks for your hard work!

Thank you again for your kind words and support, everyone! I appreciate the company as I continue on my journey as a translator :3 Please take care of me!


TL Thoughts:

Phew! That took a while! I hope I didn’t keep you waiting too long. This is my first time translating. I really struggled with the punctuation in this chapter. Sometimes descriptions would run on with multiple commas and I wasn’t sure whether to somehow write in that style or break the sentence apart as I saw fit. I would love any feedback you might have about the translation quality, any mistakes, better phrasing etc. <3

Until next time,

Nyamachi

    • Hey, thanks again for your help! :3 I’m so glad you like it ☺️

  • Ty for picking this up. You know she could’ve just pretended to be pregnant and got a child out of somewhere to act as her baby.After all she’s so powerful as to have a guard pretend to be the emperor and her dad holds rein to all matters. But I guess the author is really hell bent on ruining her.

    • Haha the same thing ran through my head when I read that part. I’m pretty sure they could’ve made a moon bump or used some kind of padding to fake the pregnancy.

  • Thank you for picking this up!

  • Thank so very much for picking this up

  • Thanks for picking this up, Nyamachi. It was a great pleasure reading the translation as it shows that you’re effectively bilingual. Looking forward to more chapters!

    • Thanks for your kind words ❤️ ahah don’t think I’m quite there yet but appreciate it all the same. Thanks for reading!

  • Firstly, I would like to tell you that it is currently midnight, and in my plight of being unable to fall asleep and having read all my ongoing-addict-novels (this one is placed in the “okay” one I created to stop myself from my impatience xD hence accumulating ~hopefully~ as many chapters as I can when I stumble upon it. However, the previous tl-er stopped tl-ing this.
    My point being : midnight + unexpected surprise = high pitched scream. Consequences? Angry neighbors xD

    Thank you so much for taking this up, I know how hard ancient setting Chinese novels are to translate, and here comes my second point …..

    HOLY SHIIIIEZZZ. First translation? Brrrruuuuuuuuu…. Are you a genius? This fluidity despite some grammatical errors, it’s so enjoyable!! And the NSFW ❤️❤️❤️❤️ Uggggh

    Although I think I’d love the pinyins such as Zhen or Bengong ? I dunno, it feels stylish xD

    But, your translation is amazing. If I weren’t so broke, I’d literally fund you all the coffee, sugar, energy necessary! Lmao

    So! Thanks for taking this on!!! And it’s really amazing to the point that it made my neighbors angry! (*Shameless* compensation with another chapter? xD JK)

    Xoxo

    • Hello Gumi! This is a very late reply but thank you so much for your kind words! I like your idea of using Zhen or Bengong. Maybe I’ll try it in a future chapter 🙂 Thank you again for the encouragement! <3

      • No problem; I really love and admire your work ! You just got yourself another faithful follower 😉

  • Thanks for picking up this novel!

  • I was so excited when I saw that this novel had been picked up. You’ve done a great job with the grammar and punctuation (I’m actually an English teacher) and I love your descriptions. Thank you! 😀

    • Thank you! I’m glad the descriptions are helpful. ^ ^

  • I love you for picking up this novel! One of my top favorite novels! Hope you’ll be able to translate it til the end! I even let my brain overheat when I MTL-read this for more than 7 times already 😀
