I’m Nada Indonensian Translator. I read your translation novel “The Princess’ Shadow Guard Cannot Be Too Clever (郡主的暗卫不能太聪明)” and got hooked. So here, i want to ask permission to re-translating it to Indonesian and post them on https://wattpad.com, if you don’t mind. I will also put your link on my indonesian’s chapter
Thank you for your attention, i will be waiting for your reply.
Thanks for reaching out and showing interest in translating “The Princess’ Shadow Guard Cannot Be Too Clever” into Indonesian. I’m stoked that you got hooked on the novel!
Absolutely, you have my permission to re-translate it into Indonesian and share it on Wattpad. And, thank you for planning to put the links!
I just finished the whole thing and I thought I’d drop this here as an overall:
the translation is well done imo! ancient chinese settings are supposedly a bit harder to get right in terms of equivalent translations but the TL makes the story easy to follow and understand the plot and characters. so kudos and thanks to the TL for that!
The story starts off pretty interesting and not quite heavy imho. though the threat of the asshole dude weighs pretty much from the start the bright spots of the MC and FL are balanced well.
The MC is straightforward without being annoyingly naive or annoyingly obtuse either. She’s sincere and genuine and her relationship denseness will leave you affectionately wanting to pinch her ears instead. The FL is smart and dangerous and bears a self-hatred which imo is also how I would feel in her situation. A swimmer who suddenly can no longer swim. But the story allows her to come to terms with that and live happily. the author doesn’t drag out the MC’s denseness and its good that she brought in a cunning yet caring senior sister that would put the MC on the right track when she’s being obtuse.
the second half gets angsty but its HE. they’re basically that “I’ll protect you” “no I’ll protect you!” “no!” bending over each other to keep the other protected and happy and safe while everyone else knows these two won’t be happy or living without the other. it does feel a bit like a lot of things happening here with no breathing room but I guess it lends itself to the urgency of their situations.
not sure if the yandere tag is needed since I feel their behaviors match their positions. a shadow guard who is trained from young as killers and a princess who was born under a martial arts general and who experienced the deep scheming of the fight for the throne. I was thinking I’d have to skip over some parts due to that tag but imo its fine for both the world setting and their character settings.
all in all its a fun and enjoyable read for me who likes the setting and angst but with a happy ending and the translation is easily understandable!
I’m really sorry, have not been checking pending comments lately!
Yes, this novel’s chapters are all MTL ˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶

This good novel got a re-translation and turned great. Thank you so much translator for the extra effort, truly appreciated! Before this I’ve reread the story like ten times, and now that it’s even more rereadable, I plan to repeat that again soon. It’s so much clearer now and includes the author’s notes as well. Again, thank you for the retranslation!
Now this seems like a depressing story, count me in. Thank you for translating
dang. im loving this already!!! omg what a gem! thank you so much translator!
