Obrigado! Eu acho que também tenho o meu. Esse site tem muitos romances interessantes.

 

Eu gostaria que houvesse uma versão traduzida oficial do PB 1 e 2. Eu comprei My TMOPB (Para o Reino do Céu) da Amazon e achei um pouco desconexa (minha opinião apenas!), Eu não sei se isso é porque de ser traduzido ou porque era o estilo de escrita que muitas vezes me perderia devido aos flashbacks. Mas eu passei por isso eventualmente com a ajuda do drama. 

how would you like to have an official version of the book explain?

1)

Someone else explains, too. how they were already married in the book? I read 2 times, I do not understand.

Thankyou so much for the correction! :) Oh, you have made my day! I LOOOVE that line from DH! He basically fell in love with her at first sight (sort of, in a DH way) and believes that he would have instantly fallen in love with her if he had seen such a beautiful “maid” in his Palace, and his mind went straight to having children:D:wub: I REALLY hope they include all these precious lines and moments in the drama!!!

 

My favourite DH/FJ interaction for today:

 

Fengjiu’s eyes twinkled, her sadness instantly left behind to the nine levels of clouds. She tiptoed to Donghua. She knelt before his face and quietly gazed at him for a time. When she decided he was soundly asleep, she closed her eyes and stepped closer, wanting to kiss him. She had wanted to do so for a long time but Donghua had been meditating these past several nights. She could never wait for him and always fell asleep first. Heaven took pity on her tonight and finally granted her this chance. She was overjoyed.
But she was only a fox at this point in time. Thus it was a bit problematic to kiss him on the lips. She hesitated for half a day and finally licked the corner of his lips with one quick stroke. Then she lay down promptly and pretended to fall asleep. Donghua remained still. She waited a few more seconds, nudged him a few times, and licked his cheek twice more. Seeing that he still gave no response, her courage grew and she placed her two front paws on his shoulders. She licked his brow and nose, but was too shy to touch his lips.
How beautiful his lips were, pale and cold at first glance... would they feel just as cold as they looked if she were to lick... no, her action was holier than that, if she were to kiss him. She hesitated momentarily. “This is my first kiss,” she thought. Ceremoniously, she lightly brushed his lips. In that instant, the King who was supposed to be fast asleep suddenly lifted his eyes. Fengjiu's own eyes widened. She had thought this could happen and had prepared herself for it. Only... how bitter it was that her first kiss was also the shortest this world had ever witnessed.

Starlight twinkled like countless gems. Emerald raindrops fell above the clear dome, bubbles bursting here and there making musical sounds like those from a seven-string zither. Donghua's face was covered in her saliva, yet his expression remained unchanged as he steadily gazed at her.
Fengjiu paused and demurely retreated her tongue. Then she raised her paw to wipe clean the saliva on Donghua’s face and acted as if nothing had happened. What a fox she was.

 

And then later...

 

Like cold snow on a foggy night, Donghua massaged Fengjiu's bruised limb and added in his deadpan way, “Didn't the fox elder tell you? Your clan has a very strict regulation. You can't be naughty with others, for once you cozy up to someone, it's very easy to...”

 

And then FJ names her imaginary baby with DH Bai Gungun. She’s so adorable! :wub: And then later...

 

It was quite embarrassing, truth be told. After one whole month of being fooled by Donghua, she finally realized there was going to be no happy seed just because she had kissed him once. After Donghua brought her to Jiuchongtian, she went to see Siming to ask for his advice on prenatal care. Fengjiu still remembered Siming had scoffed then and pointed to the sky to vow: “Your Highness, Donghua got you fooled. If you suddenly have a little Donghua in your stomach just from kissing him, then I’ll have a little Siming in my stomach from not even kissing anyone.”

Poor little baby fox she was so distressed yet happy.. Tsk..tsk.. DH.. mischievous and meanie !! :joy: but I really love how Siming respond to FJ..hilarious:lol:..her first kiss in human form..she was blindfolded.( accidentally kiss and bite DH's lower lip and leaving a teeth marks hahaha...) and Ah Li said he's not ready for a nephew oooh..adorable Aunt and Nephew:joy::smiley:

Ps: this part was already in your anticipated lists.

Hi guys! Any news of when this will be aired?? I know that it's gonna be airing next year.. but like mid year or end of next year, anyone knows?? This is my most anticipated xianxia so far. Nothing else seems as intriguing to me, maybe because I'm havily biased towards DHxFJ after watching tmopb lol

@roxnilla7 no news yet as they have yet to finish filming. They have been filming for 95 days now. And with Reba being sick im sure they postponed some of her scenes. Worst comes to worst this will be (imo) aired more likely 1st qtr (i hope im wrong fingers crossed) 2020 but thats too far so maybe last qtr 2019 will do.

Love reading the discussions here, especially from @redfoxprincess. Thanks a lot for sharing!

 

I’ve been watching videos of Vengo filming and I wonder why his hair is black. It reminds me of TMOPB when he descended to the mortal world as a king. From what I remember from PB, he had always maintained his white hair even when he impersonated as Xize in Aranya’s dream. The thing is, I am like FJ who prefer his white hair and I also kinda think he looked ugly when he was a mortal. :D

 

Also, how do you people convert the immortal’s age to a human’s age? I really find this interesting, including their sense of time. I can’t imagine staring at someone and wondering what to do next for half a day’s time. All those instances when the novel speaks of candle and tea time when describing the length of time, I simply shrugged it off. LOL

 

Amongst the one-liners in the novel, DH’s “I have never feared destiny and I certainly don’t need its charity.” is also my favorite. 

 

I have lots of favorite scenes. What comes foremost to my mind now is that scene at the holy Blue Sea when FJ bargained to dance for DH in exchange for seeing the divine Luan birds perform the 'One Hundred Birds Saluting the Phoenix' dance for her.

 

 

“The bright moon and stars illuminated the satiny background, their quiet glow shimmering across the Blue Sea. The divine birds perched quietly on the treetops. Soft music flowed from the harp as the red-robed maiden lithely danced to it. Under the moonlight, her long dark hair seemed to be coated with a layer of light. The sleeves concealing her face slowly moved away, revealing a beautiful face behind them. Her fingers came together to form two hibiscuses. When she raised her hands, her sleeves slid down and showed a pair of ivory arms. Her steps were as soft as ripples on a quiet night, and as exquisite as a blooming flower on the water.
Donghua missed a note. He had always known her to be beautiful, but never the sophisticated type. Her beauty was principally in her elegant and sunny demeanor. At this time, he discovered that her elegant face could actually be said to be dazzling. Whenever she wanted to please him, her gaze would so naturally become alluring. Of course he knew who had made her look this way. Even she might not know herself how enticing her gentle gaze could be.


The chord suddenly came to a halt. Fengjiu raised her head in confusion. Silence momentarily surrounded the terrace. At long last, she saw Dijun open his arms wide and call out to her in a hoarse voice, “Come over here.”


The way Dijun was sitting there beckoning her was simply too irresistible. Despite being a little suspicious, Fengjiu moseyed to him but without forgetting to complain: “Telling me to go, then telling me to come. Why do you always call me? Can't you come to me? And anyway, you're not allowed to squish my face anymore.”


Dijun readily agreed: “I won't.” “Are you sure?”


“I'm sure.”


Dijun really didn't squeeze her cheeks anymore. Instead, he pressed her straight onto the carpet. She let out a cry in surprise. At first, she was still concerned about letting the divine birds perform the 'One Hundred Birds Saluting the Phoenix' dance for her, thus she struggled away from his hold. But her strength wasn't as great as Dijun's after all. Soon, Dijun was furrowing his brow and even using that low deep voice that she loved so much to coax her. Her head was so dizzy with his bewitching ways that she let him do whatever he pleased. She even cooperated with him a little.”

 

 

It is so flirtatious and overly romantic :wub: This is also the scene when DH called himself as FJ’s husband and also made her call him husband. I’m smitten. 

 

I am very much looking forward to watch Reba dance as she is an excellent dancer. I pray she recovers soon. This girl has been accepting projects left and right, I wonder if she still get a decent rest in between. I’ve been her fan since TMOPB. Hers, Vengo and many others in TMOPB.

Hi, sorry for bothering, but do you know the link for tmopb? Can't find a translated version anywhere and I would hate to have to buy it on Amazon.

 

Also, I find it weird that c dramas are aired so late after they finish filming. I usually watch Thai dramas and korean dramas, and they air their dramas like a month or so after filming, and sometimes even air while still filming. Not like a whole year-2 year after filming.. it's a bid odd lol

It isn't weird at all. Many Dramas need lots of CG and a lot of scences are made in front of a green screen. Means lots of work for the specialists. Then it is the dubbing process who needs time and also the sound works. Chinese dramas often have very clear sound effects. And the editing. Korean Dramas who are made live on tape often have terrible editing, you even can see the cuts. When the Drama is popular enough to get a DC version, most of them are corrected. And normally it takes months until it comes out. My preorder of Love in the Moonlight took over one year but it was worth. Better sounds, scences I thought they would work out better with minor changes (lol...I was thinking a lot like the director) and way better CG. 

I prefer getting a well made Drama who had enough time to "ripe" instead of a hasty finished one by the demands of fans.

That is true. I never thought of that. Maybe because the Korean/Thai dramas I watch aren't fantasy, so they don't need the dubbing/CG. I also agree that the ones that that are pre produced and take longer to edit turn out better.. such as Defendants of The Sun. Thank you for explaining the process to me ^_^

@jimmylyne If I may add, our Bai Feng Jiu is really talented to be able to attract the revered Dong Hua Dijun and twist him around her little fingers. I can totally relate how her mom was totally puffed up with pride upon knowing what big fish her daughter had baited. And at the same time, I understood the concern of her other elders who worried how they would come to her rescue later if she got into a fight with DH. 

 

That part where it was revealed that FJ had a husband then DH stepped out to fight for her was so monumental for me. I just had to shout a big yes! And kept smiling like a fool as I read on.

 

@Zelnk I just mentioned about missing silver-haired DH in my last post and voila you posted pics of him. Thank u.

It's so true..Our Xiao Bai was indeed talented, charming and beautiful.

 

"Without mentioning the lass's natural beauty, just her sweet little mouth is enough to make others happy. The happier FJ was, the sweeter she became. When she sweet talked she could really melt anyone's heart."

 

 With her personality and charismatic ..even the former Master of the universe..loveless,desireless emotionless..Dong Hua Dijun didn't stand a chance.:smiley:.

An excerpts from a book..where Elder fairy Fumi pour her heart out when she knows her one and only..beloved granddaughter married to a formidable powerful man.

 

"Tell me somethings, Jiu-er didn't look for a husband  so she didn't find anyone.But once she looked, she found such a formidable man. How will she have the upper hand over a husband like him from now on? Even if she swallowed her grief and come home crying, how could her family even back her up at that point? I had wanted to find her a comparable or slightly inferior household so that even in the event she suffered at her household's, family..Jiu-er could still have her grandfather backing. Now if she marrying into DH Dijun's household, where is she going to turn when she's being mistreated?"

 

Ps: I can imagine FJ grandmother totaly like this :sweatingbullets:...poor her:smiley:.

I’ve answered you on the TMOPB forum, but will write this here for anyone else wondering too. Please buy “To The Sky Kingdom” on Amazon, translated by Poppy Toland. There is NO free translated version of this book because the fan-translator deleted it and does not want it circulated. It wasn’t a good translation anyway. Spend a few bucks and buy an official copy on Kindle or whatever, and give the author her dues. The free translated version of The Pillow Book was commissioned by Tang Qi and had 3 translators, so it was done well and with permission. :)
