T/N: Hello friends! We’re nearing the end of this novel, and as such, I’ve shortlisted FOUR novels that I’d be keen to take on for my next translating project. More details about them are at the bottom of this chapter. The one that gets the most votes from you guys will be the one I pick up next, so remember to leave a comment for your favourite!
– Yi household, living room –
Yi Ran and Song Yu Meng sat on the sofa together, their hands clasped together and placed between their thighs. Mr Yi and Mrs Yi sat opposite them.
All four of them sat with their heads lowered and silent. The atmosphere was solemn and overbearing.
At this moment,Yi Ran raised her head to look at her parents. “Dad, mom, I brought Song Yu Meng home because I really like her. I’m not joking.”
Her eyes were steady and her tone was serious.
Song Yu Meng was touched by Yi Ran’s emotional confession, and warmth spread over her whole body. She gripped Yi Ran’s hand tighter and spoke seriously: “Uncle, aunty, I also really like Yi Ran.”
The two of them had said it once before already, and it was now the second time they were saying it. Mr Yi’s feelings were mixed. He looked at his own daughter, then at Song Yu Meng sitting beside her, his whole face had “worry” written on it.
He had never expected Old Song’s daughter would be in such a relationship with his daughter.
On the other hand, Mrs Yi looked much calmer and more accepting.
She had previously discussed their daughters’ relationship with Mrs Song, and they came to the agreement that it wasn’t common, and their actions indicated they weren’t just good friends.
Just being slightly more astute, they could have guessed they were lovers.
Although there was some sort of mental preparation, but with the two of them openly saying they liked each other, Mrs Yi was still a little surprised.
Mr Yi asked: “That
 Xiao-Song, do your parents know about this?”
“I haven’t told them, but I can bring it up when I go home later. They’ll agree

”
Song Yu Meng’s eyes darted around, not daring to look straight at Mr Yi. She always felt he looked a bit fierce, wearing a pair of spectacles and not smiling, he wasn’t as gentle as her father.
She had faith her parents would agree, but as for Yi Ran’s parents, she didn’t dare to assume.
Hearing Song Yu Meng’s words, Mr Yi exhaled deeply and said sullenly: “Sigh, let me have some time to myself.”
He stood up and walked towards his study, closing the door behind him.
The three of them stared after him, not sure if he was agreeing or disagreeing.
Song Yu Meng’s heart grew anxious, she felt like there wasn’t much possibility of him agreeing.
“Aunty

” She gazed at Mrs Yi.
Mrs Yi comforted her, however: “Xiao-Song, don’t be too anxious. Uncle is an old-fashioned man, he definitely can’t accept it right away. Let him take some time to himself to come around to the idea.”
Song Yu Meng nodded, feeling Mrs Yi was right. Most parents would definitely find it hard to accept such a thing out of the blue, what more when she had only been with Yi Ran for a month, it was indeed too rushed.
Song Yu Meng said: “Mm, I was too anxious. We haven’t been together for long, but I thought

”
She lowered her head. She didn’t know what she was thinking either. She hadn’t considered everything, just wanting to come out of the closet impulsively.
Now that she thought about it, it was exhilarating but also kind of crazy.
“It’s not your fault. You’d have to say it sooner or later, it’s just a matter of timing. It’s not that saying it earlier is necessarily a bad thing. “Yi Ran comforted her in an incredibly soft tone.
“How are you so good.” Song Yu Meng slowly smiled thanks to the gentle assurance.
Mrs Yi saw the two of them acting all lovey-dovey and coughed gently, reminding them she was still around.
“Xiao-Song, it’s late, you should go back first. Wait till uncle thinks things through then we’ll discuss this again.” Mrs Yi urged Yi Ran. “Yi Ran, hurry up and walk Xiao-Song home.”
Hearing that her mother didn’t sound like she was angry or worried, Yi Ran carefully asked: “Mom, you’re not objecting to us?”
Song Yu Meng looked at Mrs Yi anxiously too.
Mrs Yi looked at them and said seriously: “I just feel that you two are already grown-ups. You have your own way of thinking and your own boundaries. As long as you’re not doing anything illegal or immoral, you can do what you want.”
The two of them shared a smile and held hands even tighter. Only they could understand the happiness in their hearts.
Yi Ran walked Song Yu Meng home.
On the way home, Song Yu Meng was still a little worried. “Yi Ran, your mom agreed, but will your dad agree to us being together?”
Yi Ran held onto her hand and looked up at the twinkling stars in the sky. “I feel, he definitely will agree.”
“Why? How are you so sure?”
“Because my dad has always been resolute in the things he does. If he agrees, he agrees. If he disagrees, he disagrees. Since he’s such a traditional person and he didn’t voice his disapproval immediately, that pretty much means he agrees. It’s just that he hasn’t warmed up to the idea, just give him some time, he’ll come around.”
Listening to Yi Ran’s analysis, Song Yu Meng felt it was reasonable, but she wanted to play devil’s advocate. “So what if your dad finally thinks it through and still doesn’t agree?”
“If he doesn’t agree, then will you break up with me?”
“Ah, what!” Hearing the two words “break up”, Song Yu Meng immediately got nervous and hugged Yi Ran’s arm tightly. “I’m not breaking up with you, I’m going to stick to you for this lifetime!”
Yi Ran smiled happily. “Exactly. So what if he doesn’t agree? It’s not like I can dump you.”
Song Yu Meng felt joyous, moved and grateful. How on earth did she manage to snag such a catch like Yi Ran!
“Yi Ran

 How are you so good!” She rubbed her face against Yi Ran’s arm happily.
Yi Ran smiled so widely her eyes disappeared into a line. “Figured out I’m good now eh? Where was this in the past? You just had to pester that Liu Luo Yang. You even liked him for so long, much longer than you’ve liked me.”
“I only liked Liu Luo Yang for five years, I’ll like you for the rest of my life! Now, you won’t be jealous, right?”
Yi Ran teased: “The rest of your life is a long time, I don’t believe your feelings won’t change.”
Song Yu Meng asked anxiously: “So what do you want before you’re willing to believe it?”
Seeing as she had taken the bait, Yi Ran smiled cheekily and tapped her cheek. “Put a stamp on here and I’ll believe you.”
Song Yu Meng gently bit her lower lip and looked around, then put both hands on Yi Ran’s cheeks and tip-toed and closed her eyes, kissing her forcefully.
She didn’t kiss Yi Ran’s cheek though, she kissed her on the mouth. She had stamped a promise of forever on Yi Ran’s lips.
After that, Yi Ran stood there in a daze for a few seconds, looking at Song Yu Meng with a look of surprise. She touched her numb lips, that warm, soft feeling still present.
Under the stars, the two of them stood there, their faces both red.
Their houses were only one minute apart, so they quickly found themselves at Song Yu Meng’s gate, hand in hand.
Song Yu Meng said: “Yi Ran, I’ll go back and tell my parents we’re dating, okay?”
Yi Ran said tenderly: “Okay, whatever you want. Even if your parents don’t accept it, it’s fine. There will always be ways to get over it, don’t be too anxious and let it affect your mood. Remember to sleep happily tonight, I’ll come pick you up for school tomorrow morning.”
With every word that Yi Ran said, Song Yu Meng’s heart got warmer and warmer, and she agreed sweetly.
There was so much gossip regarding the two of them on the school forums, an with Mrs Song being so concerned about her daughter’s school life, she naturally found out too.
Good lord! Yi Ran had pushed her daughter against a wall and kissed her! How could they not be together!
Thus, when Song Yu Meng got home, Mrs Song asked tentatively: “Xiao-Yu, what do you think about Yi Ran?”
“She’s super good!” Song Yu Meng answered in a second.
At the mention of Yi Ran, she started espousing all her good points.
“Yi Ran will explain schoolwork to me patiently, she’ll keep me warm when I’m cold, she’ll pull me to the commissary and buy whatever I want, she’ll hug me and be nice to me, she’ll listen to everything I say and she’ll even get angry if I talk too much to someone else! She even said she’ll be this good to me all my life!”
“In my heart, Yi Ran is the best person in the world!”
Song Yu Meng slowly smiled that blissful and shy smile.
Mrs Song forced a smile, she really couldn’t bear to watch her daughter act like this.
“Then do you like Yi Ran?”
“Mm! I like her!” Song Yu Meng answered immediately again, her fondness showing in her eyes. “Mom, I don’t want to lie to you. We’ve already been dating for almost two months, and Yi Ran brought me home just now. Her parents know about it too.”
Hearing that Yi Ran’s parents already know of it, Mrs Song was shocked.
“You said Yi Ran’s parents know about this too?”
At this moment, Mr Song walked down from the second storey. He had no idea what was going on, and he asked cheerily: “Know what?”
Song Yu Meng calmly said: “Know that I’m dating.”
Her words were like 5 thunderbolts striking on his head, Mr Song was dumbfounded.
“Wh-wh-what!” You’re dating?” Mr Song was incredibly angry. “Who’s the bastard? Is it that punk, Liu Luo Yang?!”
Song Yu Meng stomped her foot. “Dad—— Of course it’s not Liu Luo Yang!”
Hearing that it’s not Liu Luo Yang, Mr Song’s anger subsided a bit.
“Oh, it’s not him. Then which punk stole my daughter’s heart?”
“It’s not some punk, it’s Yi Ran.” She immediately cheered up at the mention of Yi Ran, lowering her head and smiling.
Mr Song’s eyes widened and his jaw dropped. Looking at his bashful daughter, he didn’t know what to say.
With her own father staying silent, Song Yu Meng panicked.
“Dad, mom, you won’t disagree to us being together, right?”
Her parents looked at each other, both wide-eyed and clearly worried.
A thought suddenly popped into her head, and Song Yu Meng bit the bullet. “Dad, mom, I really, really, really like Yi Ran and I seriously want to date her, I’m not playing around.”
Her parents looked at her, waiting for her to continue.
Only to see her take a deep breath, and say bravely: “Anyway, I’m only going to love Yi Ran for the rest of my life. If you two don’t agree, then I won’t live anymore!”
Song Yu Meng started running to the balcony on the second floor.
Seeing this, her parents hurriedly chased after her, yelling at her not to do anything foolish. But it was as if Song Yu Meng couldn’t hear it, she just kept running to the balcony.
When Mr and Mrs Song reached the balcony, Song Yu Meng had already pulled open the glass, standing there. Both her hands were on the railing and one of her legs was on the floor and the other was slung over the handrail.
It looked like she was going to jump off the balcony.
Mr Song was deeply frightened, his heart was in his throat and he called out: “Good daughter, don’t do anything foolish, we can always discuss everything!”
Mrs Song also urged: “That’s right, Xiao-Yu, hurry and come down from there, we can discuss it!”
Song Yu Meng didn’t move, she insisted stubbornly: “No, we can talk about it here. As long as you agree to me being with Yi Ran, I’ll come down immediately!”
She moved as if she was about to jump down, scaring both of them. They had always spoiled their daughter, could they not agree?
Mr Song shouted: “We’ll agree! Darling, come down quickly, don’t scare us!”
Song Yu Meng looked at Mrs Song, who also said she agreed, then Song Yu Meng finally climbed down.
It was all part of her ploy. She knew her parents doted on her the most; as if she would give up her life just like that, she hadn’t spent enough time with Yi Ran! How could she bear to?
After that, Mr Song asked: “Will Yi Ran treat you well? Daddy’s worried you’ll be taken advantage of.”
“Dad, your worries are totally unfounded!” Song Yu Meng swore. “I believe Yi Ran will treat me well for the rest of our lives, she even swore to me!”
Mr Song suddenly felt emotional, slapping his thigh. “Good! Then if in the future, Xiao-Yi isn’t good to you, you’ll have to tell daddy. Daddy will get even for you!”
He continued: “But if she treats you well, you’ll have to treat her well too, got it?”
“I know!” Song Yu Meng said happily. “Of course I’ll treat Yi Ran well, I’m going to stick to her for the rest of my life!”
The next day, Song Yu Meng was recounting the incident for Yi Ran, and after that, Yi Ran stroked her head and said: “Are you silly? Why did you say that kind of stuff?”
Song Yu Meng said in a whiny manner: “Didn’t I do it so that my parents would agree sooner? Besides, it’s not like I was really going to jump off. If I jumped off, then wouldn’t that mean I could never see you again? I’m not that dumb!”
“Then did your parents agree?”
Song Yu Meng raised her head arrogantly, “Yup! They agreed! And I told them you swore that you’d treat me well for a lifetime!”
Yi Ran smiled lightly. “Why don’t I recall making this vow?”
“Then you can make it now!” Song Yu Meng raised her hand and placed it next to her temple. “Say you’ll be good to me for a lifetime!”
“Okay——” Yi Ran raised her hand to the side of her head and said seriously and tenderly: “I swear, I’ll be good to you for a lifetime. Okay”
Song Yu Meng smiled, her eyes turning into crescents. “That’s more like it. You can’t regret it, or I’ll complain to my dad and he’ll get even for me!”
“I won’t regret it. A lifetime is a lifetime.”
T/N: Alrighty guys, so here are the four options.
Miss President is a Crybaby – Check out NU for the summary, but I quite like this. I was reading it before I asked for suggestions, so yeah, I’d be happy to continue the translations!
Fangsi – This is super long, and if I pick this up, I’ll probably only do the main 220 chapters and not the extras (although I’ll see if I can get jjwxc working so I can purchase them if the story is really good though). It’s angsty, and I’m not 100% sure I’ll be able to do as good a job with the translation as the original TL, but I’ll definitely try!
Villainess With a Cat Changing System – So this looks interesting, but if I decide to pick this up, I’ll want to translate from scratch. I read the first chapter of the old translations and I noticed an error off the bat (the ML’s height was wrongly indicated as 1.57m when it’s supposed to be 1.75m), so I would prefer to just be 100% sure that the translation I do is correct, and the only way to ensure that would be to translate from chapter 1.
Outrageous – This hasn’t been picked up by a translator on NU yet, but here’s a translation of the summary.
Lu Wei Zhi is an often overlooked person. Her father didn’t dote on her, and her mother didn’t love her. She lived alone till now. Her sense of existence was so diminished to the point that even if someone had accidentally bumped into her, that person might not even realise they bumped into someone.
Her life was simply tragic and absurd.
Until one day, a “male protagonist halo” crashed onto her head, and her life flipped upside down. Along with it, came something called a system. The system requested for her to immediately become a lead character, doing everything the male lead should do and make it a perfect world.
Lu Zhi Wei: ?
Lu Zhi Wei: Ridiculous, I’m a woman!
System that refuses to listen: I don’t care. If the mission isn’t completed, I’ll give you an electric shock.
Lu Zhi Wei who’s fearful of pain: Okay bro, no problem bro.
But as the missions went on, they discovered something was wrong.
The female lead, she——
Completely! Didn’t! Follow! The! Script!
System: ?
Optimistic Lu Zhi Wei: Look on the bright side. I can even become the male lead, so what if the female lead is a bit rebellious?
System: I can’t bloody look away


This kind of female lead with incredible dodging skills was too ridiculous!!
In the end, the rebellious and ridiculous female lead finally followed a plot point. She fell in love with the “male lead”.
Let me know in the comments which one you’re voting for! I’ll tabulate everything and announce the winner in the T/N for chapter 60
