Apologies to my dear readers, we do not have a chapter release today. Work and life have been extremely hectic, so between a bunch of deadlines and a health scare, I’m a little behind with the writing schedule. Here is a collection of memes that I’ve been saving up in lieu of a full chapter, and we will be back on track with the next scheduled update. Captions are above each image.

Kayla and her bad luck:

Kuang, Cao Shuyi, and their son:

[For context, the following meme is a set of photos famous on Chinese social media where a mother is lecturing her child, the father tries to interfere and also gets yelled at.]

The Grand Duke when the Empress Dowager politely nudges him to be less violent towards Wenyuan:

[For context: This is based on a popular meme in China from a period drama about harem intrigue, in which one of the ladies hits her primary rival. When confronted about it, she says “我打你就打你还要选日子吗？/If I hit you, I hit you, do I need to choose a day?”]

Stolen from Royal Road, this story should be reported if encountered on Amazon.

A continuation of the 40-foot sword meme from last time:

[For context: The forty-foot sword is a meme based on a typo in a news report on a man attacking someone with a 40-cm knife, which was printed as a 40-meter knife, inspiring a bunch of photoshopping challenges.]

Kuang and Xianchun:

[For context: This is a meme from a Chinese television show set during the Civil War between the Communists and the Kuomingtang. In a fight between two soldiers, the first man’s shirt is torn, revealing a red dudou, an inner shirt similar to a halter-top. It is often worn by children. His opponent laughs at him for wearing a dudou despite being a full-grown man, and the first man states that his wife made it, mocking his opponent for being single, eliciting the famous response: “你有病啊！你找死！/What the fuck is wrong with you?! You must want to die!”

It is also important to note that Kuang is married to Cao Shuyi and the two of them are in a loving relationship and have a son, while Xianchun is still single at this point, since Kayla’s presence forces him to focus on politics so much that he can’t gain a harem.]
