To Embers We Return (焚情) Read Along: Chapters 31-40
I know the novel has finished serialising and some of you have already finished reading it, but I've been having fun catching up in the comments of the previous chapter-by-chapter discussions so here's another read-along post. Whether you're also planning to binge-read the whole thing now that it's finished, or have already read it and want to relive the fun, or are following via douqi's translation, come and join me!
Note: I will not be writing detailed chapter summaries because I'd like to finish the novel sometime this decade, but I'll try to give at least brief notes on what happens, to help keep track of where in the story we are. I might also switch to 20 chapters at a time rather than 10 to keep the number of posts manageable but want to get to a nice multiple of 20 first.
Discussion of Chapters 1 to 10 can be found here.
Discussion of Chapters 11 to 20 can be found here.
Discussion of Chapters 21 to 30 can be found here.
The link to the novel on JJWXC is here;douqi's ongoing translation is here.

Re: Chapter 37
Poor Bian Jin, doomed to insomnia by reason of Too Horny for Wife.
Li Si is also very cool
I so badly want art of her with the sunglasses and the lollipop and the Gatling gun. But I have to get there in the translation first.
Also, how many times has she called Dou Xuanji a dog now? Once is an insult, twice is a grudge, but three times? That's just a kink.
It's also quite funny though because I feel Li Si has stronger puppy vibes than Dou Xuanji.
Re: Chapter 37
The lollipop took me out. She is so delightfully weird.
