Dear Readers, 

Our attempts to reach out to the other group/translator and come to a mutually satisfactory resolution have unfortunately not yielded results. For detailed information regarding the circumstances of this development, please refer to our dedicated post outlining the situation.

Given these circumstances, and especially since the plot of Ruyi’s Royal Love in the Palace is now available elsewhere, we have made the decision to deprioritize our translation efforts for this project and instead focus our efforts on a novel that has never been previously translated before, aiming to bring our readers fresh stories. Please keep an eye out for our new project, which is scheduled to launch in August 2025!

Regarding Ruyi’s Royal Love in the Palace, we wish to assure you that the project is not being abandoned. However, do expect updates to be more sporadic than before. While we will no longer have a set monthly goal, should chapters/parts become available, we will aim to release them around the 1st and 15th of each month. Nevertheless, please understand that updates will be largely intermittent and without a fixed frequency.

Readers eager to follow the plot of Ruyi’s Royal Love in the Palace at a faster pace are encouraged to explore any other available translation or to utilize machine translation on the raws. For those who prioritize a high-quality, meticulously translated reading experience, we invite you to return to Nyanovels as our chapters/parts are released. As always, we are committed to providing high-quality translations paired with thorough explanatory footnotes.

Thank you for your steadfast support over the last year and a half of translating this project. We hope for your understanding and continued patronage.

Sincerely,

Nyanovels Team

Dear Readers,

We’d like to share an unexpected development regarding our translation of Ruyi’s Royal Love in the Palace. It has come to our attention that another group/translator has begun releasing their own version of the translation as of yesterday, and is also linked on NovelUpdates.

We value the time, care, and community support that goes into our projects, so this situation has been somewhat disappointing. We have reached out to the other group/translator on July 15th, 2025, to clarify things and hopefully coordinate a respectful path forward.

For now, please know that our commitment to delivering high-quality and thoughtful translations remains unchanged. We’ll keep you updated on this post as things evolve, and as always, we thank you for your continued support.

Description: 

Ruyi’s Royal Love in the Palace is a sequel to Empresses in the Palace (Zhen Huan Zhuan), telling the story of Ula Nara Ruyi and the Qianlong Emperor, Aisin Gioro Hongli, from their reciprocal affection to their mutual loss and disillusionment.

The novel is separated into six arcs. The following is the summary of the first arc:

The palace walls have great depth, reflecting a deep vermilion. In the harem, power and position are always linked to the Emperor’s favor. The overt and covert fights between the concubines are just like the frigid winter, so cold that it reaches the bottom of people’s hearts.

The Ula Nara family background once brought supreme honor to Qingying, Hongli’s Secondary Consort. After Hongli ascended the throne, the shifts in power in the harem and the court made her identity awkward, as though there was a target on her back. To protect herself, Qingying asked the Empress Dowager to bestow a new name, “Ruyi”, and was granted the position of Consort Xian. She lived in Yanxi Palace and was at the time bereft of power. In fact, for her, the downward spiral has just begun…
