So it’s the end of the novel! Last chapter and it’s He Heng’s POV.

This translation (and me) owes a lot to ororomunroe90 (who is really super good at deciphering my mangled sentences and making them more readable), vivie (who is a second opinion on all the edits), and leecherleechleech (the person who picks up the typos and went through all the chapters from the beginning to typo-pick.)

Round of applause for them!!!

Pretty pictures for you!

I’m going to work on my next tentative project and hopefully have something in a few months. So hopefully you guys will come back and read it then.

The footnote is not linked because … um… it’s an interesting bit of history and real history is a lot more bloody. Make for an interesting comparison to what happened here.

The chapter title is a Chinese idiom that you can search up in Google. It refers to a shrewish wife bellowing, and the husband who is henpecked.
