TL Note: Did I mention that this novel is completely out of my comfort zone? For those familiar, I actually main fluffy romance/BL novels. Really threw a curve ball there, didn’t I?

—Oh and if anyone spots any errors, just let me know in the comments, I’ll get to them.

TL Note: Did I mention how much I like the synopsis of this novel? It reveals everything and nothing at the same time. The format and how all three sentences start the same way, was done intentionally. It reads a little smoother in the raws, but if anyone has a suggestion on how to make it read more fluently in English, let me know. Otherwise, enjoy chapter 2!

TL Note: Hi guys, thanks for checking out my new project! This is something I’ve been contemplating about doing for more than six months now—— And I finally decided to pick it up, yay! (੭˃ᴗ˂)੭

After finished two of my three current projects and enjoying a relaxing holiday, I’m now delving into this rabbithole. However, I do have a warning I need to make before you guys dive in with me—— this novel makes full use of the Chekhov's Gun principle, meaning a lot of things that seem to brush by early on will be mentioned and expanded upon hundreds of chapters later. I’m currently up-to-date in the raws, but knowing what’s going to happen still doesn’t ease the translations because wordplay just doesn’t translate very well. Single Chinese characters can have a ton of different means, but I’ll try to do the best I can…. However you have to be prepare for a bunch of footnotes<( °^° )> and I suggest everyone read those footnotes, they are imperative if you want to stay on top of this story. This is not a tale you can skim; there’s a reason why it’s rated so highly on Fanqie (heck this is Smitty Werbenjagermanjensen).

Lastly, bear in mind that there’s a lot of graphic scenes in this novel, too many for me to count. So this will be the only warning for y’alls. Enjoy the read!
