11处特工皇妃 [Division 11's Princess Agent]

by Xiao Xiang Dong Er, 潇湘冬儿

She was the trusted adviser of the military intelligence unit 11 in the National Security Bureau in charge of collecting intelligence, planning and deployment, arranging assassination missions, and devising strategies in unfriendly countries to obtain victory thousands of miles away. She could be said to be the pinnacle of military intelligence building.

***

Chu Qiao was once agent 005 for the the military unit 11. After being framed and thrown into prison, she successfully escaped but then sacrificed her life to protect the special agent unit from being bombed. When she woke up again, Chu Qiao had traveled to the Xia Dynasty as an 8-year-old slave girl. Due to receiving help from Yan Xun during their escape, their fate was bound together, as Chu Qiao would then spend years helping him rebel and reconquer his land.
However, as they walked further and further down the path to their dream, they grew further apart. One reason was because of the way they dealt with things, the other was because of a rather meddlesome Zhuge Yue, who never stopped loving Chu Qiao, despite having their loyalties lie on opposite ends.
The old regime will crumble and wither away, letting the new Xia Dynasty be reborn from the ashes.

Excellent book! I started reading it after I watched the series. It is a bit different, but really enjoyed the book. Cannot compare book and the series. But series is not completed (hope that will be second season)..

In the middle of watching The Untamed drama, I stumbled upon one comment where someone also recommended this must-watch Chinese drama : Princess Agent.
Out of curiosity, I checked it on YouTube, and found this MV : https://youtu.be/ll6x8zf2CnQ 👍 It intrigued me further. The girl is so cool!

After that, I found out from the comment section that it's adapted from this novel. The live action Season 1 itself has horrible cliffhanger, therefore I will try reading its web novel first, also because we get HEA there.
For visual, maybe I'll check its live action later, maybe...The male leads aren't my type. 😛

Bi tráng, đáng yêu và cái kết vẫn có hậu, không viên mãn như trong mơ nhưng là một cái kết hợp lý.

[Gina Valdez · Rating 5 out of 5]

La novela es un poco diferente a la serie lo cual hace que muchas cosas tengan sentido. Los capítulos que conformarían la segunda temporada son muy interesantes a la vez que intensos.

“那一次的遇见，命中决定是你”
after that first encounter,
it was destined to be you.

— that was from the princess agents tv show adaptation theme song but the line ate so hard so i feel i had to add it because it captures the essence of chuqiao & zhuge yue/ yuwen yue’s relationship so well <333

it took them over 11 years, 3 civil wars & countless other wars on opposite sides ( took me 292 chapters…) but they made it & got HEA!!! i first watched the show 7 years ago & the fact it still has me in chokehold to this day speaks volumes to how well written everything about it is… from the turbulent political landscape set during the fictional “wei” dynasty & its bloody and brutal court politics to the deep explorations of motifs such as revenge, justice, idealism, power, corruption, duty & sacrifice… everything about it is just 1000000000/10 i can’t even begin to explain all the details like there’s sm going on.

plot aside the sprinkle of romance in the subplot is my favourite thing about this novel. i was rewatching got & realised that ZGY & CQ are so brienne and jaime lannister coded if brienne fought for her a better world & jaime spent the entire plot grappling with his sense of familial duty to then CHOOSING her like… such a refreshing dynamic that was perfectly executed in both the books and show ??? obsessed with both versions, they’re the best people i know!

zhao liying & lin gengxin played the characters to perfection i’ll love them forever & i’m so grateful that the two of them decided to film another period/fantasy drama together to “make up” for that terrible s1 cancellation of the show that ended with ZGY falling into the icy lake ( presumed dead)… plus after finishing the new show “ the legend of shenli”, it had SO MANY scenes that were identical to their reunion post lake scene & paid so much homage to princess agents & its scenes post-lake?? i’m actually healed fr from all that trauma (ZLY was a producer so she really did do it on purpose i love her & LGX advocated for a specific “fishing him out the lake” scene to really bring it full circle 😭).

anyways this doesn’t touch upon basically any of the 292 chapters of plot, character motivations or anything but i just love love love this book & series so much if anyone wants to read it in english ( i did that rip my chinese) if you search on google & with “english translation”, the Nyoi-Bo Studio one is really good but yeah highly recommend <33 also highly recommend the show, all on youtube with english subs :))

[ finished it at 9:58am fr one week before the 7 year anni of princess agents release date ]

Juga berawal dari nonton drama china berjudul princess agent, Venilla Zhao dan Kenny Lin, yang endingnya gantung dan menyedihkan.. (satu season hanya separuh bagian dari novel) Setelah 4 tahun penantian dan tidak dibuat lanjutannya akhirnya mendapat kabar bahwa novelnya ada terjemahan inggrisnya.. Well.. Akhirnya tertatih2 bisa selesai juga dengan ending yg diinginkan.. Walaupun tokoh fave kedua, Xiao Ce, membuatku patah hati dan meneteskan airmata.. Sungguh.. Terlalu patah hati untuk Xiao Ce..

Not bad, I like it. Aside from having to read children being treated cruelly and those gory details about their death which I find not my cup of tea, I love the setting, the character developments and the conclusion of this book. Honestly, I keep saying 'she's so cool' while reading this book that my friends got curious and started reading it as well while watching the drama adaptations.

七年前看剧的时候，还会心疼燕洵；现在，看了原著，完全不会了。在九幽台之前，他算是救了楚乔三次，对于一个上位者，大发善心救一个小奴隶，恐怕也没想到能用到人家，更多的只是顺便吧……而楚乔的做法已经超出了报恩。纳兰红叶也爱燕洵，她会写信安慰他，可以暗中帮助他，却不会放下长公主的责任、奋不顾身地现在他身边。楚乔这个除了性命一无所有的人，放弃了逃跑的机会，义无反顾地留在他身边，整整十年，燕北的版图有一半是她的功劳，可决裂的时候，他要逼死楚乔，让她“净身出户”！别说什么爱之深恨之切，也不要说成为了妻子和母亲的楚乔理解、体谅了燕洵的报仇心理、甚至反醒自己应该早些沟通，都没有用！燕洵他不配！他喜欢的是那个能并肩作战、为我所用的队友，而不是真正的楚乔。他可惜的也不过是“这样的大才不能为我所用却成为了敌人的妻子”，说白了就是自私而已。他对谁都没有所谓的深情……

I read this book in lockdown so it has a special place in my heart because it was my entertainment in that time :]

This book was really insaneee. Literally changed my mind.

I started reading the book because I was watching the series on TV. And they're different in a lot of things but I liked both!

[Elisa229 · Rating 4 out of 5]

I loved the drama but hated the cliffanger therefore I needed to put my hands on this light novel and honestly am so glad I did.I learnt to appreciate Zhuge yue even if Li Ce is really my favourite character with Yan Xun close second (it was the contrary before reading).

Transletannya hancur 🥲🥲🥲 padahal kisahnya menarik

[Nasrin Shahnaz · Rating 4 out of 5]

Read this book since the show left us on a cliffhanger. The book is different than the series though, however, if the show adapts Chu Qiao and Zhuge Yue's story then it would be great.

[Alice · Rating 4 out of 5]

The book truly depicts the Princess Agents series. I learnt the most dangerous person is a good bubbly person like Yan Xun because immediately he was hurt he sought revenge

[Jane Wild · Rating 5 out of 5]

A phenomenal read. Completely blew me away from start to finish. One of my absolute favorites. ❤️I’ve also watched the TV show, and it’s such a shame we still don’t have a proper ending!

[Mi · Rating 5 out of 5]

Um dos melhores livros de artes marciais, um dos mais sangrentos, e ainda por cima: tem princesa no título!


Sinopse traduzida por mim:

Ela era a confiável conselheira da unidade 11 da inteligência militar no Bureal de Segurança Nacional – buscando talentos, planejando e executando, providenciando missões de assasinatos em países inimigos… ela criava estratégias que obtinham vitárias há centenas de quilômetro de distância. Ela poderia ser tida como o pináculo da instalação de inteligência militar.

***

No Império de Huang Jing, vivia uma garota que era uma viajante do tempo, uma agente especial e um grupo de jovens, mas inteligentes garotos. Todos eles começaram de suas terras natais e saíram para conquistar o mundo.

Sabe aquela resenha que você queria fazer, mas não tinha sentido em fazer, mas agora está fazendo porque faz sentido? E não está entendendo nada? É esse o caso.

Acho que muitos que chegaram aqui foram aqueles que gostaram da série Agentes da Princesa, blockbuster chinês de 2017. Pois bem, assisti acho que nem 10 capítulos. Porque assim como muitos chatos do “o livro era melhor”, era o que eu achei, e no que pude ver que tinha uma relação com o que se passava no livro, o livro era mesmo muito melhor!

Não serei a grande espalhadora de spoilers da série porque não assisti inteira, mas aquela não era a Chu Qiao, aquela não era a história que gostei seguida a risca, e mesmo sabendo que deveria haver adaptações pela censura, para mim foram muitas. Para quem não sabe, viagem no tempo é censurada na TV chinesa.

Não chega ao nível de A princesa Wei Yang(The Princess Wei Yang ), por Qin Jian, no qual a história foi mudada para algo completamente diferente do roteiro do livro (e olha que nesse teriam até mais facilidade para seguir o livro, devido a história). Para Agentes da Princesa, temos um roteiro que parece que seguiu ao enredo do livro, mas senti que a essência da história se perdeu no meio da adaptação… Por isso mesmo recomendo também a quem souber inglês, de ler esse livro.

E o motivo pelo qual não fiz uma resenha desse livro até agora, que acho que é um dos melhores livros de artes marciais que já coloquei as mãos? A tradução parou. Sim, em um momento a tradutora parou de traduzir, mas anunciava que logo postaria um capítulo, depois de alguns meses falava a mesma coisa, e foi indo, e isso desencorajou todos de pegarem esse projeto. Até que finalmente agora isso terminou! A Qidian anunciou que logo colocará a tradução desse livro no seu catálogo (até o link que coloquei foi o de lá)!

ATENÇÃO: NÃO LEIAM A SINOPSE QUE ESTÁ NO SITE DA QIDIAN. Comecei a ler e parei, ainda bem que parei de ler. O que tem é um resumo da história inteira!

A história começa com a tal da viagem no tempo. É uma típica protagonista de transmigração, mas ao contrário de vários livros, nos temos detalhes de como foi a morte dela (transmigração: gênero no qual a alma de uma pessoa que acabou de morrer vai habitar o corpo de outra pessoa que acabou de morrer). Temos capítulos dedicados a isso. Ela era uma espiã internacional que estava tentando acabar com um plano de acabar com o mundo, e no final salva toda a humanidade – sacrificando-se no final.

Então ela se encontra do nada no corpo de uma garota de apenas OITO ANOS DE IDADE no meio do mato, sendo caçada por lobos e com flechas vindas em todas as direções. Claro que ela não estava entendendo nada, mas sabia que tinha que sobreviver e era uma espiã supertreinada. Escapou desse lobo, e como tinham mais crianças por perto, também tentaria proteger. Descobriu então que ela fazia parte de uma caçada humana realizada por um grupo de crianças nobres, e que ela era uma das escravas que eram uma das peças desse jogo. Quem tivesse mais escravos com o seu próprio nome marcado nas roupas vivos no final, ganhava. E infelizmente, Chu Qiao foi a única sobrevivente.

E decorou o nome escrito em cada um dos escravos mortos.

Foi então enviada para uma casa, na qual descobre que os irmãos da menina que ocupou o corpo também trabalhavam como escravos. E se já ter a experiência de participar de uma caçada humana não fosse o suficiente, foi nessa casa que ela descobriu que a vida humana, a vida de escravos, não valia nada na dinastia Xia, onde ela foi parar. E foi perdendo um por um que ela aprendeu que ela tinha que vingar e proteger aqueles que precisavam. Nem que precisasse de matar para isso.

Chu Qiao adalah seorang budak kecil dari keluarga Zhuge (Yuwen kalo di drama). Pada suatu hari, ia dan belasan budak lainnya dkumpulkan untuk dijadikan target perburuan para bangsawan muda yang ingn mengusir kebosanan mereka. Pada akhir perburuan, Chu Qiao menjad satu-satunya budak yang selamat dari perburuan tersebut. Nyawanya kemudian diampuni oleh Yan Xun, pangeran dari Kerajaan Yan Bei yang menjadi pangeran tawanan di Kerajaan Xia (di drama Kerajaan Wei).

Chu Qiao hidup di jaman dimana nyawa para budak dan pelayan sama sekali tidak ada harganya. Ia menyaksikan kematian kakak laki-lakinya yang diperintahkan oleh Zhuge Yue, tuan muda keempat keluarga Zhuge. Ia juga menyaksikan kakak perempuannya menjadi mangsa nafsu tuan besar kedua keluarga Zhuge, dan saudara-saudaranya yang lain dijual sebagai budak ketempat lain. Sehingga yang tersisa dari keluarga Chu Qiao hanya dirinya dan adiknya Xiaoba. Chu Qiao berniat membalas dendam kepada keluarga Zhuge, terutama kepada Zhuge Yue dan berniat kabur setelah menyelesaikan misinya.

Ada yang udah pernah nonton drama tivi Princess Agent? Penasaran dengan ending yang ngegantung dan kemudian menunggu dengan perasaan hampa season 2 yang nggak muncul-muncul juga setelah sekian tahun?

At chapter 37 I realised I don't want to waste my time on this novel. The adaptation was so much more complex and had so many layers in my opinion. It has a lot of differences (names, age of characters, family relations, whole plotlines) and it leaves the readers confused if they came to find out what happens after the drama ended. I loved the drama so much, it really is a shame. Maybe it gets better but i decided that for me it's just not worth it...

[Limecello]

Watched the show ... LOATHED the ending, am currently rewatching it but utterly dissatisfied and all these comments said the novel was /had much more - and clearly it does.

Also >.> reading various online posts/translations so not rating it.
But oof.

T_T the fate of my favorite secondary character.

I do love that it has a HEA though/think it ends nicely, if the translation(s) I read are accurate.

This is one of my all time favorite web novel.. I first watched the Chinese adaptation series in Facebook then read the web novel online because I cant get enough! My goodness! hahaha

Chu Quiao and Yan Xun are so heart breaking couple.. I love them but they are not meant to be together.. To bad He chose power and revenge over love.. haist. Anyway, it's worth your time and emotions hehe.

不愧一个穿越巅峰之作

[Yun Ting · Rating 4 out of 5]

本应该是一步穿越的故事，可是我觉得主角穿越的背景也太离奇了，难以相信。也因此我扣了一颗星。

除此之外，故事节奏快，情节发展的令人无法放下书本，的确是挺不错的一部书。人物的发展也挺好的，以燕旬一开始的发展，我一直是燕楚的支持者，但作者巧妙的把读者都给换边站了，的确厉害！👍

最喜欢还是李策，可惜他和楚乔没缘，但是都非常喜欢看他有出现的章节。
