did you know that the male loneliness epidemic started in the late 1700s?

the moral of the story that i’m getting is do not be a crown princess consort or in modern day terms do not be married

i’m still going thru this like poor woman nth new lol

what the… she’s gone thru so much…

finished the first of four manuscripts and she’s basically describing hell on earth

hurts so bad to read but i am so endlessly fascinated... poor girl. poor 60 year old girl.

this translator took so much care... i haven't even started on the main text and i can already appreciate the level of this translator's effort and thought <3

lovely lovely introduction to this translation
