Gorgeous, yeah.

Glowing mirror and talking reflection makes me think Fantasy or Supernatural more than Historical

I thought the second woman would be the very attentive maid, not this mirror-person. :(

Fam how can one forsake such a good looking wife?
In the other hand, yuri happens thanks to him... So he's good.
Also my words the art's nice!
Thanks for the translation!

Historical is because it's set in the 1920s

That's what I thought too! The juxtaposition stood out a lot

Indeed. But I wasn't expecting magic, spirits and cursed mirrors! That development caught me completely by surprise, heh.

I thought this was going to be like Couple of Mirrors. Know what I mean? A realistic drama set in the 1920s, with a yuri love story between the wife of a cheating rich man and a lowly commoner girl—the main difference being that in CoM the commoner girl was a thief and in this manhua I expected her to be a cabaret singer. It appears I was slightly off beam on some details. :P

I don't know if I would change the tagging, tho. On one hand, adding a tag like "Magic" or "Supernatural" seems reasonable. On the other hand it would totally spoil the big surprise... so maybe leaving it like this is a good idea.

Just another poster here to say the art is breathtaking. Wow. I'm glad I checked this one out.

Opening lines seem to be channeling Dickens. "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times . . ."

Just voicing my disappointment that this isn't Espionage, albeit the title. Also the Prologue probably belongs into a church window somewhere.

Does the strange lady want to have Bai Yuetao's body in the sexual sense, or does she have something else in mind (as well)?

She introduces herself as Butterfly Dream, which is the title of a Classical Chinese story in Zhuangzi. In this story the author, after dreaming about flying around as a butterfly, wakes up wondering if he just dreamed about being a butterfly, or if he's actually a butterfly dreaming about being a human.

That story is about the Dream Argument (the unreliability of human senses), so maybe I'm trying to make a connection that is too literal. But if magic is already on the table, then maybe a body swap is or possession is possible. It could be something like in Your Name, each of them piloting the other's body while asleep.

The art is goooorgeeeeous, on that alone, I'll read, plus I like some magic women in magic mirrors, why not.

Mmhh I had completely forgotten about this...
Yuetao is way too fucking good looking though.
Thanks for the chapter!

the art and stylistic choices continue to impress me, especially the shower scene in this chapter. I truly feel like we're experiencing a yuri rennaissance with all these new chinese series getting translated now.

joined May 10, 2021

Still looks incredible.
I wonder what the mirror lady has in store for the husband.
Thanks for the chapter!
