This is good bye

Hi guys,

It took me almost a year, but I finally finished translating Jingsu Petits Fours, haha /sweat.

I just want to thank you guys for being patient and supportive along the way T^T

As some of you might know, the reason why it took me so long is because I started school again last August, and school is super stressful.

I don’t have plans to translate any other comics for the time being, so this blog will no longer be active.

Thanks again for all the love! Good bye.

Depending on how good Nirvana in Fire 2 is, I might come back?

Jingsu Petits Fours, Parts 28-30 (final)

The poem might be hard to read so here it is again: “The sun rises and the stream flows on Mt. Liang, / two fires above and below, with jade on the side. / The beauty disappears and only I remain, / receiving and then leaving, a friend helps. / You and they stroll side by side.”

t/n: Lantern Festival is on the 15th day of the (lunar) new year. Lantern riddles are riddles written on the lanterns that people hang up during Lantern Festival. Usually you have to manipulate characters based on the clues to find the solution, which could be another character, a location, a name, etc. 

In this case, each line was a clue for a character. I included a literal translation of the riddle on the side, but there’s no way you can solve it in English lol. Let me know if you want a detailed solution to the riddle, but it should be pretty straightforward if you know Chinese.

The End

*t/n: tigers are said to have stripes shaped like the character for “king” (王) on their foreheads (& therefore they’re the king of animals).

The next comic references Lin Chen’s supposed chubbiness, which may make some readers uncomfortable.

Not an ask. I just wanted to thank you for translating all these cute comics. Just got into Nirvana in Fire recently, and I'm glad there's cute fanworks like this here. I can't read Chinese, so thanks so much for translating them!!

Welcome to the sea of tears that is NiF fandom!

I apologize for taking forever between updates, but I’m glad you’re enjoying them :DD

NIFFEST ROUND 2 - POLL

Are there tear streaks still running down your cheeks? 

Do all inanimate white round objects (pearls, marbles… and those damned glutinous rice flour dumplings) make you very very sad like Xiao Jingyan?

‘There is of course no magical cure,’ Lin Chen advises, ‘but I may have something up my sleeve to ease the pain.’

We here at Niffest understand your struggle. Let us unite and support each other by creating more fanworks that will potentially make us more sad pull us through all the FEELS.

Niffest mods invite you to participate in the following poll:

Nirvana in Fire Character Age List

Ages are from the beginning of the story. Dates are according to the lunar calendar.

Mei Changsu/Lin Shu/Su Zhe: born Feb 6; 29 (novel)/31 (drama) Tong Lu: 20s Gong Yu: 23-4 Feiliu: 16 (novel)/18 (drama; <2 years younger than Mu Qing)

Mu Nihuang: 27 Mu Qing: 20 (”Just of age”)

Xiao Xuan (Emperor): born Aug 30; late 50s Prince Ji: 12 years younger than the emperor Xiao Jingxuan (Crowned Prince/Prince Xian): 35 Xiao Jinghuan (Prince Yu): 32 Xiao Jingyan (Prince Jing): 31 (birthday is not between Sept and Jan 6) Xiao Jingning (novel only): 17 Xiao Tingsheng: 11

Grand empress dowager: 90 Empress Yan: Early 50s (Married to Xiao Xuan at 16, when he was still a 郡王) Consort Yue: late 40s-early 50s (Been in the palace for 35 yrs) Consort Jing: born July 5; late 40s-early 50s (Been in the palace for 30+ yrs) Grand Princess Liyang: 40s (Married for 26 yrs)

Xie Yu: 53 Yan Que: Early 50s, but older than Empress Yan (novel)/57 (drama) Meng Zhi: 37-8 Shen Zhui: 37-8 Cai Quan: 30s (”Youngest of the 6 ministers except for Shen Zhui”) Xia Dong & Xia Qiu (twins): 37

Xiao Jingrui: born April 12; 24 Xie Bi: 23 Yan Yujin: born July 7; 23

Qin Banruo: 27

Baili Qi: 30 Yuwen Nian: less than 20 Foya (the wolf): 14-15

All ages/birth dates are from the first version of the novel, the drama, or the characters’ respective Baidu Baike pages.

Let me know if there are any mistakes or additions!

[tammaiya]

So if Xiao Xuan is late 50s, that means he was 28 at most when JY was born (59-31)? He didn’t marry Consort Chen until after becoming Emperor, and based on this, probably married Empress Yan at around 20-22. Which means that at most, Jingyu could only be 8 years older than JY - that’s if Xiao Xuan had Jingyu when he was 21.

Which would mean Xiao Xuan was REALLY young when he took the throne - barely of age.

Where does the Emperor’s age come from, out of curiosity?

[chaikat]

From ch22 of the web version: 大梁皇帝已过花甲之年 

So the emperor should be older than 60?

[qi-lang]

thanks for the correction!
