I love your translations! Thank you so much for sharing them! It always brings me joy to be able to understand more of the story that I didn't understand through Google Translate. Take as much time as you need as we as readers do understand that your life isn't just this novel. Don't worry about "catching up" with the 350+ chapter novel, just do what you want. I do appreciate how you have localized the novel as it definitely made it easier to translate the nuances across into English rather than leaving moments feeling empty as it does in MTL.

I'm glad to be able to pick up on the subtle nuances happening between Miyagi and Sendai.

Back to the recent chapter of the novel, I have to agree that at some point I thought Mio and Maika knew about the thing going on between Sendai and Miyagi, but that was just my wishful thinking.... Time to write fanfiction then.

To be honest, I really love this manhua as I've read the webnovel using MTL years ago and has been my favorite GL ever since.

I think Ji Youyan's problem is more clear in the novel, but only because you can get inside her head. In the novel,
Ji Youyan's problem is her self-loathing. She genuinely believed in her past life that Jing Xiu didn't love her or couldn't keep loving her after all that she put her through. At that darkest moment of her life, there was no room for Jing Xiu, only her own self-loathing.

That's why I appreciate the story so much because the being reborn part is necessary in my eyes. I think theoretically the same thing could've been accomplished by Ji Youyan being in the hospital from excessive drinking and if Jing Xiu visited her, but she would never pursue Jing Xiu again in those cases because she would just deceive herself by believing "Jing Xiu was just being nice to her ex-girlfriend" rather than "Jing Xiu still cares for me".

Because Jing Xiu cancels her marriage and attends Ji Youyan's funeral, Ji Youyan is aware that she cares for her. That's what gives her the confidence to pursue Jing Xiu again. It is sad that someone can be so self-convinced of her own unworthiness that she would be stuck in place until she literally dies.

I’m pretty sure that could be Bloom Into You or Yagate Kimi ni Naru
