Description
Bai Pingting has always been contrary the saying, “A woman’s virtue is ignorance”. Although she serves the Marquess of Jing-An as a maid, she leads a life far richer than most women. Her plain appearance is not what defines her — but her intelligence, far beyond many wise men.
Although Chu Beijie was an enemy general, she still cannot help being attracted to this man, despite the many lies and conspiracies…but between love and loyalty, she must make a choice. She can only hope that man’s love for her isn’t as deep as she thought.
One is a soul who seemingly destroys peace while the other aspires to be the sword that saves. Between them, lies a mountain of hate…
Who of the two most cunning people on earth cast the trap and just who captured the other?

Strong female character: VERY YES. SU LUO CAN’T COMPARE TO HER. NOBODY COULD COMPARE TO HER.
Storyline: WHY DIDYA STOP GODDAMNIT, I NEED TO KNOW WHAT HAPPEN
11/10
yes, su luo def cant be compared to pingting. Pingting rlly doesnt fall as easily as su luo, and true intelligence+still captivating tho everyone says average looks <3 thx for picking this up, plz keep it going!!
We’re not picking this up, the original translator just happens to have decided to share it with us! 🙂
where can we finnd who is translating this?
For the quickest reply from me, send an email to: [email protected]
If it’s about the next release, 1st Jan 2016. If other, most questions should be covered here: http://moonbunnycafe.com/ckm-scans/ If it’s not there though, send me an email. ^^;
oh my gosh! ust read thru all the volumes over few days…really love this…thanks so much for the effort!!!! when is the volume 3 going to be translated! all i can say is all of you are amazing!
What do you mean…Pinting started crushing on him in less than 4 chapters after meeting him. Honestly, they have very different life stories and thus skillsets (Su Luo can fight for herself, as she used to be a “renowned assassin of the 21st century”)they can be compared on very equal grounds.
can’t be more agree than this
Is this going to be translated here? I love this novel <3
First of all, I would like to say, THANK YOU. THANK YOU SO, SO MUCH FOR TRANSLATING THIS MANHUA/NOVEL WHICHEVER IT IS. Sorry for the caps lock, I’m just so excited as this Manhua is one of my favorites aside from Chang Ge Xing and a few others.
So, thanks again! 😀
Do you know of any plae where Chang ge Xing is being translated? I really love that story and was wondering if there was also a novel version such as this…
Thank you very much in advance
tl;dr
For average joe, I cannot recommend this story.
However, if you’re a fan of romance/drama/tragedy, then it’s top quality.
———————————————
My heart is not strong enough for a story like this.
It is very good. You really get attached to Pingting.
That is why, at every corner, when she has her heart torn up that it’s so painful.
I’m glad the story has a happy ending, but there is no way that I can continue to read it to get there. Who knows just how long it will take?
In a story where romance, drama and, in this case, tragedy are the leading genres, you can only have the main characters pulled apart so many times before it falls into a category I like to call, “stupid shit”. It’s top quality, “stupid shit”, but all the same, it’s “stupid shit”. Anyone who has read a lot of shoujo manga will know what I’m talking about. Kimi ni Todoke is a prime example. The last six episodes has each of the main characters wallowing in despair due to repeatedly misinterpreting what the other says.
I love your note that this story has a happy ending. Thanks for that!
Thank you so much for the update i am looking forward to the upcoming volume
So surprised and pleased at the update! Yea!! I’ll be looking forward to reading the final translations.
Comparing Pingting vs Sou Lou vs Qing Mo.
I think Qing Mo is the closest one to Pingting, although there isn’t enough chapter yet to see Qing Mo true potential.
The end is so close but so far, all we can do is wait for CKM translation. 🙂
Qing Mo? I’m sorry, but who is she??
Qing Mo is the main character from A Mistaken Marriage Match: A Generation of Military Counselor.
Comparing Qing Mo and Pingting to Suo Luo is like comparing a bug to a truck. Basically a 1 hit KO (personality wise). ╮(‵▽′)╭
Who is sou lou? Wat is her story?
Su Lou is from demonic king chases his wife….., and i love that story, pingting’s story is almost too hard to bare.
I’m so eagerly waiting for the last volume. Btw, I love it when there’s a happy ending at the end.
Thank you so much for translating! I can’t wait to read the last volume! Thanks a lottttttttt, I love you guys! Hee 😀
When will the 3rd volume be posted? XD Love this
Omg Seriously? I’ve Heard There Was 7 Volumes To This Novel. Could It Be That You Will Not Translated More On Purpose. Or Were The Rumors A Lie; Does This Novels Only Have 3 Volumes?
I believe it was first a set of 7 volumes, then when it was republished, they reprinted it into 3 volumes. You will still be reading the entire story.
Is there any date or timeframe for volume 3’s release? The novel is so lovely to read that I miss it terribly now that I’ve finished. :3
i think it’s coming very pretty soon. hoping within this week. ?
Lol, the 24th. 🙂
for real? ???
can’t wait then! ????
thank youuuuuuu!!!! ??????

Thank you for all your efforts and perseverance in finishing this translation. Much appreciated.
Thank you for finishing this novel. I’ve been looking forward to this novel for some time.
He xia’s death. Made. Me. Wanna. Cry. My heart is still aching right now. The 2nd time I wanna cry over the hero’s rival tragic end. First was with Shin Bia’s manhwa.
Such an awesome story. Thank you for translating.
Thank you so much for posting all the volumes. This was a beautiful story. The translation was terrific.
thank you for translating such beauty story.. I read this after I find this manhua and this really beatiful story.. really love it, thanks for sharing this with us..
♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡
PS : Pingting is such genius.. love her ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡
anyone know of another similar manga ? I loved this one TT^TT
hahaha, recently I look for similiar story too.. and really thanks starvenus to mention Qing Mo, and I found her @A Mistake Marriage Match : A Generation of … Counselor, mm I forgot.. but that’s the first vol of A Mistake Marriage Match..
Although it’s not finish translate yet, but it’s really worth it.. the real strong female lead, hahaha..
And DKC too for Su Luo although at first she’s really weak but chapter after chapter she’s really… mmm I think I don’t know the word that suitable for her, just find out by read it..
And last, can anyone give us another similiar story? I just request for ancient time story.. really thank you..
ops, u just request manga.. I just give u novels..
sorry..
no it’s ok! i’ve been reading Shen Yi Du Nu and the female lead is very strong too…however, there’s 1252 chapters…L O L so to whoever reads this, be patient because I lost it and had to endure.
To CMK scans…………..
Thank you so much for finishing this amazing novel! It really made me happy that I was able to finally read this right until the end.
Thanks again!
Amazing story and heart throbbing feels! At first i was pondering about whether to read this novel or not and I’m glad i did. Love the story! Thank you for uploading and for translating this novel.
I don’t know if it is only my problem..but is there only translation without scans? Where can i find scans?
If you want raw text, google the Chinese of the name + “novel”. Doesn’t matter if the “novel” is in English, you’ll get to a site.
If you want actual scans of the novels, why don’t you buy them? They aren’t online.
Wow I was really surprised to know that Gu Fang Bu Zi Shang was already translated completely. Awesome! I been looking forward to the translator I been following before but unfortunately she dropped the novel. Thank you so much. I should have visit this site sooner.
Thanks. They’re backed up on the site I used to use too though.
Um before I read this, I want to come to an understanding: Is the female lead a “servant girl” rather than a fallen noble lady serving under a household based on the synopsis? If she’s just a servant girl, then is this a story about “a servant girl falling in-love with a general (and vise versa)”? Also does the main male lead have “concubines/harems” already or possibly in the future of the story?! If it does have extra annoying females trying to get between OTP, it’s not a story I want to dwell into. Just want to clarify these things before I read (putting on my to read list atm).
–May contain spoilers–
Yes. The female lead is a “servant girl” serving in the household of the male lead’s enemy. She is 100% a servant girl with no history, but she was treated well in her original household because of a mixture of her talent, being liked and insanely lucky. So yep, the story’s about “a servant girl falling in-love with a general (and vise versa)” all right. XD
Well, there’s a few suggestions that the female lead should become a concubine, but she never does and never will. Otherwise…
No visible concubines or harems sighted! Even in the epiloguey-chapters, the male lead hasn’t gotten sick of the female lead yet. So there aren’t any annoying females that get in the way in this story. (Note: You can only see some “annoying females” in the doujin oneshot which is set in the future after the main story, but they’re mob characters. Yep, definitely got that mob vibe. No harem can rise between the main couple!)
Also to note, the antagonist is a male. He tries to get between the OTP (resulting in all sorts of drama). His reason? Some people speculate that he actually loved the female lead (romantically), but author says that she intended it to be more trying to get his lost innocence back or not being able to face the present due to not letting go the past — that sort of thing. He doesn’t stick around forever, so don’t let it get you down. 😛
So yep, sorry for the long answer. Let me know if you still want to read it. xD
This is my 10th time reading this. I really love reading novels but this is the best novel I’ve ever read and my most favorite… Gu Fang Bu Zi Shang. I like the character Bai Pingting, even though she’s only a maidservant she’s very clever.
Love it.Lucky it was a happy ending and my firt novel at that.😜
does anyone know where to buy the manhua version of this?
Unfortunately, the manhua version is discontinued 🙁
gu fang still holds the most special place in my heart. which is also the reason why i am aching about the drama adaption since i still can’t accept wallace chung and angelababy as chu beijie and bai pingting.
q w q I’m grateful for the Note… It seems good but that tragedy tag made me worry… Thank you for the Note 😀 I mean you didn’t even have to write it but you did~ Thanks <3 I'll get start on the novel now~
Whos sou lou? Wat s her story?
Thank you for translating this novel. This was my first time reading something in this genre. 😀
i really like this novel
i discover this novel because i read the manhua
and i really like it so much but the manhua is stop updated
i wait a long time so i begin to search the raw
and then i know the manhua have the novel translation
i love the character whether it bai pingting or chu beijie
they’re great couple
i just hope the drama will be great as the novel is
and the actor and the actress can act suit the character and there will not so much change in the drama
wallace chung is a great actor so i not worried so much about chu beijie character but i really worried about how angela baby potrait the pingting character
but i still love the novel
hohohohoho

Thank you so very much for the translation of this wonderful novel… I saw the drama series first just three weeks ago on YouTube as General and I before I read the book here, and even though the drama is a bit different, I totally enjoyed both….is there a further continuation to this book??? If there is? How do I find it??? Please…..
Thanks and credits to everyone that made us possible to read this translated Chinese novel. If not for the drama adaptation of this novel, I won’t look for this novel to read. It’s understandable that some parts were different from the novel as it’s difficult to be acted onscreen in drama. But still grateful to writer of this novel who wrote a beautiful story that I have come to appreciate so deeply with unforgettable characters. Yes, I know this novel is not of top quality but still pretty good nonetheless. Thanks once more to all that made it possible for me to have a good time reading.
I loved it, from the beginning until the end,a truly and lovely love story. The characters were well built as well as the course of the story. There were some details that I found a bit out of place but nothing is perfect and at the end I liked really much what I did read. A love like Bai Pingting and Chu Beijie is something unforgettable. Thank you so much for the translation.

Simoky loved reading this! So glad I found the whole series online. Google light novels only had the first vol!
For***
And ‘really loved’ reading this! 😅
Why were the chapter links from moonbunny removed/replaced on novelupdates?
Hi can i re translate this in another language ?
I have a question is there an english dub drama version of this if there is can you tell me where
Is it possible to download the full novel without having to go to each link? I can’t seem to find this translated book anywhere else and I would really love to read it.
This book is so amazing. The characters, the depictions of battle – everything is written and translated so well! I would definitely urge everyone to read this book. I loved reading it!
Thanks for translating!
Thank you for translating this novel! I loved the TV drama’s story line but the blue screen and the main actress sucked. I liked the voice actors better. The novel is the best since it explains things that the tv drama doesn’t.
I would read this over if I could. The manga went on hiatus, but luckily i was able to use those character images and see the story play out hohoho.
hey can anyone recommend me more novels like this?
awesome, thank you for the translation. the novel is far better than the tv version
YAAASS this was my first c-novel I ever read. The manhwa brought me here xD. I’m going to reread it again ^__^. THANK YOU FOR THE TRANSLATIONS!!!
Fantastic story to read by really great author. Hooked me on to Chinese stories. Thanks to the translator.
Great TV drama as well. Good lead characters. Saw the drama first. Read the story later. There are many differences but the story essence is same.
Help me find more such drama and stories. Thank you.
