what in heaven's name is rational about going to incredible lengths (not to mention expense) to find information and protect yourself from someone that yiu could just kill and then take the next steps one by one knowing that your queen is safe???

However, a rational part of his mind told him every time that he can't do this.

I think it's all the same word in Chinese. There seems to be some confusion between daughter in law and wife as well. Not to mention Official and eunuch !! the person translating either doesn't understand the difference or didn't bother reading the final version. Either way, it seems like the sort of mistake they're getting paid to avoid... if it carries on like this there will be flocks of "nice story - raws anyone" in the reviews!!!

"Eighteenth Miss, absolutely not, I beseech you to speak with the lady—my wife is critically ill. The doctor said that moving her now will surely worsen her condition. Please, I beg you on my knees…" the old woman sobbed, her aged voice trembling with entreaty.

there is only one misunderstanding and if the Prince keeps doing what he is doing I think it won't matter, they'll both be in love in no time. When the other prince tries to take possession of the kids (but how could he do that in public now?) the eldest who knows they're his will not allow it. the misunderstanding will not effect this couple I think

hahahahah! talk about consistency !

Task that normally took her around half an hour to complete were now done in thirty minutes on average. Her eyes danced over emails, memos, reports, anything and everything really, with what was quite frankly a terrifying speed.

I'm a bit confused - why does she refer to Zoe as her nickname? is it that she has one of those "family" names which is written in a similar way to her given name? I do hate when you translate with western names in a setting that is so obviously not western. ps. no rich person would have a double bed against a wall!

"Juwon Noona, I'm sorry— but please take care of everything here," Wooju said, smiling apologetically at his older sister. "I'll return with the baby later."

Why is MTL (and bad mtl at that) allowed on this site? the first 2/3 chapters were ok and the story seems interesting but it's not readable. The protagonist becomes a he, gets called a nanny words become confused. I'll read it free elsewhere - why pay for this?

I am constantly astounded by how it seems perfectly acceptable in China to be nosy to the extreme because you are "family". Even third cousins twice removed...

This is one of those "came to earn a fp and stayed" novels! I thought it was going to be an "incomprehensible spoilt young miss novel" but it's not. She's a fiery intelligent willful girl that has far too much money (and power) at her disposal, but there is nothing spoilt about her at all. Lots of dashing young and not so young men out there too. The only quibble I have is that the villains are incredibly stupid (I refuse to see the uncle as a villain so far - unfair, perhaps, but not a villain, there has to be more to this!!). Well worth the read. Looking forward to reading more!

it's obviously a terrible place where sheikhs dish out gold and the "dark skinned people" snipe at them for trying to take over their jobs.

Ordinary high school boys, whose exercise consists mostly of basketball, were no match for someone like Qi Chao, who had survived the bullets and chaos of African deserts.
