best day of Jinshi’s life

THE WILL OF HEAVEN

Maomao sees herself as SO submissive and beheadable she literally needs to invoke contract law when she kisses Jinshi back. The English audience was ROBBED.

It happens when she's JUST about to activate her Art of Whore Sleeper Skills to flip his ass on that bench;

Official English;

To say again: none of this was Maomao’s fault. This was beyond her control.

Original Japanese;

　もう一度言う、猫猫に罪はない、不可抗力だ。

Direct Retranslation;

"Let it be said one more time; Maomao is innocent of crime, it was (The Will of Heaven)."

不可抗力だ, bù kě kàng lì, is a Chinese legal term, directly equivalent to "an act of God/Damnum Fatale/Vis Major" in English contracts. She practically looks at the camera to speak DIRECTLY to you, the reader, to deliver the legal defense she's gonna use in her court case.

This epilogue is hilarious, actually, I retract any criticism I ever had of it ever. No other protagonist does it like Maomao Apothecarydiaries.

realizing how many times i could have asked for some grace or some help with something from a boss or a teacher or my college advisor but i didn't because deep in my bones i believe that people who have that kind of authority over you will not only not help, but simply asking for their help, bringing their attention to me and my problems will get me punished!! but if i had been brave, if i had just asked, i could have had things easier!! but i didn't because i couldn't because of how terrified i am that asking will make things worse, and to that i say, i think i kind of hate my parents, actually
