Yun Ge turned from the quietest prisoner to the most active prisoner. Every morning and night, she would walk around in circles in the square-shaped prison. "Is this better for the body?" The man nodded. Every day, when the sunlight shone int

1 I’ve had Tong Hua’s letters to her two Yun Zhong Ge male leads translated and prepared for over 2 months now, but I’ve been reluctant to post because it gives away the ending of the novel. It gives away how most of the characters end up, though in truth i 2024-4-21
2 I’m not sure I’m translating all of Yun Zhong Ge, so don’t ask and definitely don’t expect it. It’s almost twice as long as Da Mo Yao in length, so thinking about it already gives me a headache. But I was in the mood to do a chapter so here it is. I have 2024-4-21
3 I found my two male leads for my novel translation of Yun Zhong Ge. I feel kinda giddy I can cast away whomever I want, just cuz I complain and moan each time an adaption casting turns out wonky, and for once I can do something about it in my neck of the 2024-4-21
4 You don’t need to have read Da Mo Yao to read Yun Zhong Ge, only that the tiny bits of the throwaway references might not be as relatable. But it does help to read up on your early Han history, gaining some perspective into the political machines of the 2024-4-21
5 So I also got my third main male lead cast, Huang Xiaoming as Liu Bing Yi (aka Liu Xun). His tendency to over-emote with the crazy eyes will definitely come in handy in the latter half of this novel. But I think his arrogance and carefree vibe is perfect 2024-4-21
6 Reading Yun Zhong Ge, the devil is in the details and the conversations. So many s.h.i.+fts of expression, pa.s.sing glances, things not said, which add layer upon layer to this story. My Ling gege finally makes his first adult appearance in this chapter 2024-4-21
7 I know Meng Jue is impossible to figure out, and that’s just the way he is as a character and the way Tong Hua chooses to let his actions shed light on his motives rather than simply telling us. I can say that even until the very end of the novel, I’m no 2024-4-21
8 Until I got around to translating, I’d had forgotten how beautiful in its playfulness volume 1 of Yun Zhong Ge was. Tong Hua crafts these scenes and imprints it indelibly on the reader’s memory. The fireflies becoming the stars on the ground, the dandeli 2024-4-21
9 This chapter KILLS me, the first of many such chapters where I just start twisting in a knot. For the first time in nine years, Liu Fu Ling and Yun Ge are so close, yet so far away. She’s cooking for him, the entire meal she’s been preparing to cook for 2024-4-21
10 The longer Yun Ge stays in Chang An, the more she’s going to get involved with the current political landscape of the capital. Different than when her parents lived there, when the Emperor wielded absolute power, right now there is a delicate balance bet 2024-4-21
11 This chapter was intense, hilarious, and heart pumping all the same time. It also marks the second close-but-not-yet encounter between Liu Fu Ling and Yun Ge, and also the second time Meng Jue and Yun Ge get too close for comfort. We learn more about the 2024-4-21
12 This chapter of Yun Zhong Ge marks a turning point in Yun Ge’s emotional trajectory, or at least a detour of sorts. She comes to terms with the fact that her Ling gege isn’t going to be hers, in a way that is actually very mature and considerate taking i 2024-4-21
13 I feel like every chapter of Yun Zhong Ge is like a treasure hunt. What is happening isn’t a big moment or a gotcha scene, it’s in the exquisite details of the interactions and conversations that say so much more than it seems on the surface. We see the 2024-4-21
14 I couldn’t decide who this chapter belongs to more. It ought naturally be Meng Jue, but Ling gege just about broke my heart with the last line of this chapter, so both of them get to top this post. It’s double the pretty, so no one ought to complain. For 2024-4-21
15 At this point in the novel, I feel like I know all the main characters so well. With the exception of Liu Fu Ling, of course. I’ve said this before – Yun Zhong Ge is really the story of Meng Jue, despite its t.i.tle being a play on Yun Ge’s name, while t 2024-4-21
16 This chapter is rough, so don’t say I didn’t warn you. As if we didn’t already see enough hints that Yun Zhong Ge doesn’t have Da Mo Yao‘s easy stakes, this chapter cements that this novel is serious and pulls no punches. The power is about to s.h.i.+ft 2024-4-21
17 After chapters worth of Yun Ge and Meng Jue’s are-they-are-they-not dance around each other, finally their relations.h.i.+p moves from nebulous to official. I can see how happy she is, having let go of the fantasy Ling gege inside her heart and accepted 2024-4-21
18 Ooof, this chapter hurts. This chapter of Yun Zhong Ge really really hurts. I think this kind of heartbreak cuts to the core even worse than what Yu Er must’ve felt when Jiu Ye was rejecting her over and over again. Yun Ge finally learns the truth about 2024-4-21
19 We’re here, we’re here. Chapter 18 of Yun Zhong Ge marks the end of volume 1 of this rich, nuanced, and densely plotted novel. There are two more volumes to go, but we’ve come a long way since we met the girl in the green woven skirt riding a snow white 2024-4-21
20 Chapter 19 of Yun Zhong Ge marks the first chapter of volume 2 of the novel (in fact, Tong Hua re-starts her chapter numbering with each volume, but I’ve elected to continue the numbering for translation reference purposes). While volume 1 felt magical a 2024-4-21
21 I really liked how Tong Hua spent all of volume 1 developing the relations.h.i.+p between Yun Ge and Meng Jue. If Yun Ge met her real Ling gege right away, then it’d be game over before Meng Jue even has a chance. And I’m a firm believer that Meng Jue de 2024-4-21
22 I don’t really like leads who avoid confrontation and don’t demand explanation. I concede Yun Ge is sheltered and really naive, and when faced with disappointment and heartbreak her first instinct is to flee. But that bothered me because she’s got to fac 2024-4-21
23 Yun Zhong Ge Chapter 23: Three Emperors in the Stars I know that Koala has temporarily paused translating and have been getting requests for translations, so I've decided to pick it up. It isn't going to be an easy project, so bear with me as I 2024-4-21
24 Yun Zhong Ge Chapter 24: Whispers at Midnight YAY! More adorable interactions in this chapter. Yun Ge and Ling gege spend the night together, though chaste, no one knows better and it causes a huge stir. Liu Bing Yi steps up, and starts to dip his toes i 2024-4-21
25 Yun Zhong Ge Chapter 28: This Life, Next Life This chapter is as exciting as the last, maybe even more as we see what the Huos have got planned for Yun Ge. It is also as long as the previous chapter, so I've learned my lesson and will split it into 2024-4-21
26 Yun Zhong Ge Chapter 29: Soaring Together Through This Life After taking a day off to catch up with Gaksitaaaaal, I'm back! This is a sweet, short interlude, the whole chapter completely and utterly devoted to Ling Ge Ge and Yun Ge as the readers ge 2024-4-21
27 Yun Zhong Ge Chapter 30: Meeting under the Lanterns of the Festival For some reason, I was always drawn to this chapter. During re-readings of YZG, I'll always skip others to read this. Huo Cheng Jun's fate is certainly pitiful and Meng Jue did 2024-4-21
28 Yun Zhong Ge Chapter 32: Aroma Filling the Room Poor Xiao Mei. To have no family, no one who truly cares, no love, I can't even begin to imagine how would feel. This is when Liu Xun gets his first taste of power, and power can be like a drug, once y 2024-4-21
29 It’s here – the famous chapter Lily Boat Night Song in volume 2 of Yun Zhong Ge, the one Tong Hua wrote just for Liu Fu Ling. I’d be remiss not to share it with everyone, especially since it’s not just a fun chapter, it also heralds a dreaded moment in L 2024-4-21
30 Yun Zhong Ge Chapter 34: Your Heart My Heart Koala has already translated Chapter 33, so here's 34.I was reminded of something I read on my friend's facebook recently: Should we forgive someone if they didn't mean any harm?Liu Fu Ling told 2024-4-21
31 Yun Zhong Ge Chapter 35: The Albizia’s Tears Late delay there, sorry about that. I'm heading back down under to graduate next week, so travel preparation and work are time suckers in general. I've got no time to polish up the text with chapter 2024-4-21
32 Yun Zhong Ge Chapter 36: Love and Hate Now that I have settled (somewhat) into my new role, updates should be more regular, once every three days or so. Apologies for the long wait! Finally after all that angst, we get more cute moments between Yun Ge an 2024-4-21
33 Yun Zhong Ge Chapter 37: Wei Yang in the Sunset This is the chapter before the last chapter of volume 2 (book 1 in the China edition), which has already been translated by Koala. What I love about Yun Zhong Ge is that nothing is ever filler or irrelevant 2024-4-21
34 Oh lordy, I had forgotten how awesome this chapter of Yun Zhong Ge was. It’s all happy, so don’t worry, pure happiness and then some. At times I felt like I was translating a steamy chapter of a romance novel. Let’s just say….there be A LOT of kissing. W 2024-4-21
35 Yun Zhong Ge Chapter 39: Knowledge brings pain; devotion an early death I had the most trouble translating this chapter because of the t.i.tle, and the food names. They don't sound as poetic in English, but if I try to translate them poetically, the 2024-4-21
36 Yun Zhong Ge Chapter 40: Nothing more tragic than eternal separation. I dreaded to translate this chapter for the longest time. Once this chapter pa.s.ses, lots of hards.h.i.+p will await our characters and the whole landscape of YZG would have changed a 2024-4-21
37 Yun Zhong Ge Chapter 42- Blood dyes the love knot, tears land on jonquils Happy new year everyone! Hope everyone had a great holiday. I've changed jobs, which explains my conspicuous absence over the past weeks and just came back from a family holid 2024-4-21
38 Surprise! Haha, if anyone is watching Big with me, you’ll totally get that inside joke. I’ve always said I write what I feel like, and my desire to translate Da Mo Yao and Yun Zhong Ge was prompted by my love for the novels rather than doing a public ser 2024-4-21
39 Chapter 55 is really a long overdue moment for Xu Ping Jun and Meng Jue to talk again. It’s probably been years since these two really had a heart-to-heart, not since a young Xu Ping Jun begged Meng Jue for help so that she didn’t marry her betrothed and 2024-4-21
40 Next time I fall in love with a C-novel and decide to translate it, I really ought to pay closer attention to page length. My Yun Zhong Ge project clearly got away from me. Even if the pen is mightier than the sword, my will was not mightier than my abili 2024-4-21
41 So I discovered I was still in the mood to translate Yun Zhong Ge, but not exactly in linear fas.h.i.+on. I can’t help it, there are some random chapters that are just screaming for me to translate it, so I’ll do just that. You all read if you want to. T 2024-4-21
42 I try not to be someone who says I’m going to do something and not follow up. It was with a heavy heart I had to concede defeat in translating all of Yun Zhong Ge (Song in the Clouds), its three thick volumes made for an epic read but created an overwhelm 2024-4-21
43 Yun Zhong Ge: Chapter 26: Foreboding Storms And heave, ho here we go! The exciting set up for the dragon slide fall begins. It's a very short chapter so I'll try to post updates throughout the day as and when I'm done with a part. Should b 2024-4-21
44 All of Yun Zhong Ge volume 3 has chapter headings pulled straight from Chinese lyrical poetry. I joked once that the chapter t.i.tles of YZG kept getting longer and longer that by the time Tong Hua reached volume 3 it was out of control. The full t.i.tle 2024-4-21
45 As much as I tried to keep pace with my translations, clearly something has to give now that a certain drama has exploded into a pocket mania around here. Plus Tong Hua decided to throw what might be one of her longest chapters ever at me, hence chapter 2 2024-4-21
46 I honestly can say that Yun Zhong Ge is a difficult read. The characters are so multifaceted that its hard to take sides without also feeling something tugging from the other end. In essence, we are all Yun Ge, stuck between a perfect guy and a compelling 2024-4-21
47 After Shang Guan Xiao Mei was done was.h.i.+ng and eating, she sat quietly in front of her window, fiddling with a vase of plum blossoms. She arranged the flowers once, turned it to the left, then to the right, seemingly dissatisfied, then took out the fl 2024-4-21
48 This chapter is the nail-biting kind of exciting, with duels all around and hundreds of spectators watching. Readers get a glimpse of Liu Bing Yi finally standing up, taking the limelight and commanding respect. It is very interesting how the foreshadowin 2024-4-21
49 Update: CHAPTER COMPLETE! Livejournal refused to let me post it together with the rest of it because they said it was too long so I've had no choice but to separate this chapter. At 10,892 words, it is no wonder my post was rejected for being too lon 2024-4-21
50 Besides Liu Fu Ling, my favourite character is Liu He. He is so ridiculously over the top but yet still human, and not just a caricature. Liu He's backstory is revealed here and a lost long childhood connection dug up. Huo Cheng Jun starts to craftil 2024-4-21
51 I had intended to post this last night, but I was so tired I just went to bed. Sorry for the one day delay. Ling Ge Ge just breaks my heart, he is an Emperor, but was without much authority, riches, without love, without a true friend. At least 4th prince 2024-4-21
52 You'll see why I took so long to translate this chapter. From this point on, it is just an endless amount of pain, pain and more pain, oh, not to forget, loads of tragedy too. While I didn't necessarily agree with Yun Ge's actions, I did un 2024-4-21
53 How fitting that , (listen here) started to play as I was translating the final part of the chapter. I wasn't kidding when I said this chapter would be nothing but tragedy heaped upon tragedy. Prepare the tissues, you're going to need them.Updat 2024-4-21
54 Chapter 5: Days get old easily, hatred is hard to avenge In a gloomy prison. Because there was no suns.h.i.+ne, there was a moldy smell all year round. Spring seemed to never come, and winter felt even colder over here. Yun Ge lay down quietly on a pile 2024-4-21
55 Yun Ge turned from the quietest prisoner to the most active prisoner. Every morning and night, she would walk around in circles in the square-shaped prison. "Is this better for the body?" The man nodded. Every day, when the sunlight shone int 2024-4-21
