OMFG what a sick bitch! Firstly she locked those kids, starved them and said the last one standing will be freed. But then she caught that child, gauged his eyes and chopped off his ears, cut his toes and fingers "into pieces"... No wonder the kid's resentment was stronger than Yeom's...
It's only unclear to me why it was the brush. Did Chaehui chose it just bc Nok likes such things or was it really related to the kid (it should I guess).
I need to take a break. All week waiting and so intensive chapter.
Edit: And I've just noticed now both of Jaeshin's hands are clawless
I just want to express gratitude towards MoonFlowerGemScans for their work here. You really did a great job, thank you all<3<3<3
As well as the analysis which also contains translation notes - I loooove translation notes :3
P.S. I'd love to know what fonts did you use for "ha" and "shlick" in the last chapter for example.
C.R Jade has healed her hand and thanked for our patience.
Shared new -79- chapter and the rest is a spoiler
A small spoiler. The translation comes from GT, but it looks decent.
Dong Ru's (Dongim - the younger) perspective:
I never thought that my existence would be a curse to others.
That was my brother Cheng Lian, the one who suffered because of me.
I don't need to care about him, but he is like the red plum that was crushed into mud in the winter. Even if it was ruthlessly trampled, it would still bloom on the branches next year, so tenacious. I thought our love would bring him softness and warmth, but unexpectedly it brought him the disaster of exterminating the whole family, and the culprit was myself. I can't love, nor can I hate, I can't leave, nor can I stay.
That's it, let us torture each other and retaliate against each other.
So, I want him to live in the fear of losing me forever, let the forbidden love boil in the friction, let the fire of hell devour the two sinners together...
I am a thousand piles of snow, he is the 枏 [Chinese giant redwood, Machilus nanmu - Vae] that stays in winter, let us be entangled forever and disintegrate each other.
Vae: Machilus nanmu is evergreen tree, grows slowly, large, highly resistant to decay, so used to build houses and boats.
Cheng Lian's perspective:
My life seems to be just a trivial mistake, and the person who ended this mistake is my brother Dong Ru, the person I should hate the most.
But he became the only light in my life, and this light was hot and cold, making my eyes gradually blind and my heart full of crazy thoughts...
In order to keep this light, all the existences that hindered us have become dead souls under the knife. I don't believe in Buddha, I don't believe in God, only he is my only belief.
In the past, I just wanted to live, but now, I just want to imprison him in my arms forever, forgetting time and space, regardless of life and death.
So, even if Dong Jin resents me and hates me, even if he wants to take my life, I will not hesitate, I have never, and will never regret everything I have done.
He can't escape, and I can't escape either. The world without him is like purgatory, and hell with him is like heaven.
the older brother's name is Jeongyeom? The same as the title, which means lust or burning passion, as we know.
Jeong Hae-jin, who had delayed his arranged marriage until he was past the usual age, found himself ...

Don't you find the colouring a bit strange in some panels in ch 71? I mean the body colour when Jaeshin licks his thumb for example.
I've noticed it happens from time to time, not only in this chapter, but rather rare.
Guys, guys, guys, there's volume 1 (original) to buy:
https://en.j-meeshop.com/product/book-the-ghosts-nocturne-vol1-korean-ver/717/category/1/display/2/
with international shipping, which was 3x more expensive than the item itself for meXD but I've ordered
I need to vent bc I'm kinda disappointed that we STILL have Nok crying and pleading Jaeshin to stop, and the latter not fucking listening. Does Jaeshin lack some brain cells?
I'm fresh after 70th chapter. And yeah I know it's not that bad as it was in the past, and that to some extent crying (and whining "wait a moment" in yaoi is a part of its specific expression, but |stop|take it out|please|don't do it| is a very simple demand and, as the story says, if they love each other so much at this point, should've been respected. I can't enjoy when one of them feels somewhat uncomfortable.
I can't regard "this time I won't make you cry" line as a hot one too.
Right now I event wonder (even more) for what exactly Nok likes him that much.
Other than that I find in this chapter, a top-notch exquisite art that can be appreciated many times ;) And since it's not the end of this 18+ moment I wish the second part is going to be better.
What do you guys listen to when you read manhwa?
I love listening to Ahn Ye Eun when I read Ghost's Nocturne. Her voice and pansori musical style complements the historical setting so perfectly!
because not long ago I was the one to wonder if C.R Jade's style is kinda deteriorating, like too pretty Jaeshin, and Nok looking as a teenager on some panels...
So NO! Absofuckinglutely NOT!
Chapter 68 is G-O-R-G-E-O-U-S
I'm sorry C.R Jade I've doubted in you for a second
(I'll never do that again, it's just that in such a long series it's not possible to keep every single frame on out-of-the-world level)
While we wait I'd like to ask you about smth. In chapter 60 when they're talking in the bed and Nok says he'll spend the winter outside the palace, there're 2 paneles with shoked Jaeshin and him getting up, wanting (and begining) to ask about smth with anxiety.
So I was wondering WHAT has made him that anxious? I conjecture (after a long cogitation) he's scared Nok will say he wants to end their agreement. "i'll be away, we won't be seeing each other for a few months."
Am I right? Or could it be smth else?
<sex>
Jaeshin: No. I told you, you can't move your leg.
Nok: I'm not doing it- because I want to- It's very~ ah!
J: Loosen up. You've already know how to it. Right? Nok.
J: Yes, that's right. Slowly...
Nok:.. ah, again, call me one more time. ... by my name.
J:...Yi Nok. Nok-ah.
~moans~
J: That reminds me of the past. That time when you pushed me because you didn't want me, do you remember? When did it change? It wasn't a long time ago.
~Nok's coming, Jaeshin lifts him up~
Nok: Wait- No. Now I'm...!
Jaeshin: haa... I know. ...I'm also. You won't tell? When did you start to love me. ...So, tell me again. That you love me.
Um? I want to hear it.
Nok: *moans* Wait, don't move...! It's so deep...
Jaeshin: Is it too much? Do you want to stop?
Nok: I don't. Don't... pull it out.
Do more. You can move now.
I love you.
Jaeshin: ...you, really...
Nok: I- lo... ove- aah-
*climax*
Nok: Ah- Jaeshin...
*more moans*
/Jaeshin moans "ahh" for the first time in uneven/irregular bubble. If I remember correctly even if he moaned it was always in a nice round bubble/
<Later>
<Nok's sleeping, Jaeshin looks at him>
J: You sleep well.
<Jaeshin lies on Nok's chest and hugging him lightly turns into a dog>
<After a while Nok blinks, sees Geumdong sleeping on his chest and moves one hand on his back. Then he goes back to sleep.>
Sorry if somewhere it sounds weird or unnatural, English is not my first language^^'
