The author timed this chapter perfectly since today is the Ides of March.

Don't read this. Save yourself from heartache. It doesn't have a good beginning, middle, and definitely not end. It may seem like it has only 30 chapters, but they are quite long, so it's more like 90. 90 chapters of absolute heartbreak. Just don't do it.

I couldn't tell you for sure. I'm going to warn you that the translation isn't great, but it's not the worst I've ever read. I'd just start at the beginning since you're reading it for the first time because you're going to have to read it and kind of translate it again in your head.

The novel is named Ni Jiu. You can read it here:
