Attention!! Actually, Book 1 of Floating Life has 3 extra volumes, namely:... more>>

1. Extra: Prequel-Tree Yaokai,

2. Extra: Water Festival, and

3. Extra: Wangchuan.

But Hellowyellow, as the translator, got a special edition entitled Floating Life: A Prequel—Fulong, which contains all 3 extra volumes from the first book of the Floating Life series plus new chapters written by the author. This special edition consists of 70 chapters + a 1-chapter appendix, for a total of 71 chapters.

Based on this, Hellowyellow, as the translator, decided not to translate the 3 extra volumes from the first book of Floating Life and replaced it with a special edition of Floating Life: A Prequel—Fulong with book contents that are certainly more interesting than just an extra volume, where the special edition becomes a separate, independent book. <<less

— I translated this novel as a tribute to the amazing novelist “Qiong Yao” by Hellowyellow.... more>>

In 1986, the novel was adapted into a Taiwanese romantic drama called Many Enchanting Nights. The drama was directed by Liu Lili and also starred famous Hong Kong actress Liu Xue Hua, Taiwanese actor Chin Han, and Lee Tien Chu.

Hellowyellow comment about the story: 5-10 out of 100 people must have experienced something like this. Maybe everyone who has experienced it has almost the same story framework, even though not all the details are the same… When old wounds are almost healed by time, life gives a test by sending acid rain on the wounds, which ultimately destroys faith and belief… When the body can no longer withstand the torture, the heart becomes cold and dead, hopes and dreams are destroyed by the cruelty of reality… Then, where should this self go?? To whom should this heart complain? And to whom is this hope anchored? —- Cruel?? regret? sad? hate?? ... Sigh, but life is always like that. <<less

“Waiting for Someone,” Café. First book edition: April 2004, revised edition: January 22, 2010.... more>>

Love” The film was directed by Jiang Jinlin (江金霖) and produced by Giddens Ko (his English name, Jiu Badao is his Chinese pen name), who is also known for his hit movie “You Are the Apple of My Eye” (那些年, 我们一起追的女孩).

Hellowyellow comment: I think this is a very refreshing teenage story where the wind of romance blows gently, producing first love without us realizing it. This story reminds me of Barbra Streisand feat. Bryan Adams’s song entitled “I Finally Found Someone.”

“It started over coffee....We started out as friends..It’s funny how from simple things...the best things begin...” <<less

[Hello everyone, my name is Amamiya Ren. This might seem like an abrupt self-introduction, and honestly, I think so too.] ... more>>

[In fact, when I first heard my own name, I had a bad premonition. Fortunately, I didn’t encounter Shido Masayoshi or Akechi Goro.]

[But when I discovered that the high school I was going to attend was called Teitan High School, I knew I was in trouble.]

[I thought I had successfully avoided the traitor, but I didn’t expect that I couldn’t escape the god of death either.]

[Then, as I dug deeper, I found out more information that made my heart race.]

[I learned about Shinomiya, who is as renowned as the Suzuki family, and Sanzenin, which surpasses both Suzuki and Shinomiya.]

[But none of that is the main point. It’s Teitan High School alone that made me want to start writing a diary.]

Putting down his pen, the boy turned his gaze to the prize pool.
