ohhhhhhhhhhh mannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn if I can overcome the challenge of Chinese not neatly scanning into iambic pentameter because of syllable lengths and emphasis working so differently...!
You genuinely don't even have to change very much besides the proper nouns and historical references. His heart is in the coffin there with Lianfang-zun. :(
OKAY! Like I said, you really don't have to change much!
Friends, masters, common men, lend me your ears; I come to bury Xiandu, not to praise him. The evil that men do lives after them; The good is oft interred with their bones; So let it be with Xiandu. Great Hanguang-jun Hath told you Xiandu was ambitious: If it were so, it was a grievous fault, And grievously hath Xiandu answer'd it. Here, under leave of both Twin Jades of Lan-- For Zewu-jun's an honourable man; So are they both, both honourable men-- Come I to speak in Xiandu's funeral. He was my friend, faithful and just to me: But Hanguang-jun says he's ambitious; And Hanguang-jun's an honourable man. He hath built many towers in your towns Whose presence does the general public guard: Did this in Xiandu seem ambitious? When that the poor have cried, Xiandu hath wept: Ambition should be made of sterner stuff: Yet Hanguang-jun said he's ambitious; And Hanguang-jun's an honourable man. You all did see that through his too-brief reign He wore the scholar's cap and not a crown, To show he lived to serve: was this ambition? Yet Hanguang-jun says he's ambitious; And, sure, he is an honourable man. I speak not to disprove what Wangji spoke, But here I am to speak what I do know. You all did love him once, not without cause: What cause withholds you then, to mourn for him? O judgment! thou art fled to brutish beasts, And men have lost their reason. Bear with me; My heart is in the coffin there with Xiandu, And I must pause till it come back to me.
"Why, you chivalric fool -- as though the way one fell down mattered." -The Lion in Winter, Act II, Scene 6
[image ID: Four screenshots of Meng Yao/Jin Guangyao from The Untamed overlaid with the quote "When the fall is all there is, it matters." The screenshots depict Meng Yao at the base of the Jinlintai steps after being cast down by his father, Meng Yao in the Unclean Realm tilting his chin up with eyes closed and a resolved smile as Baxia's blade looms over him, Jin Guangyao with his head bleeding adjusting his hat after being kicked down the stairs by Nie Mingjue, and Jin Guangyao reaching towards Lan Xichen after he has shoved him to safety at Guanyin Temple.]
the horror of being "god's favourite princess". literally one of my favourite horror themes. the god loves you and it's so scary.
it will always choose you. you cannot die. you'll always come back because it loves you so much. you are its right and left hand, its eternal weapon. it will drown you in its light. light as horror. darkness as horror. what if it thinks you are its best friend.
you are god's favourite princess and it's terrifying.

I don't want to start a fight or anything so I'm not gonna reblog the post but as a MXTX fan I just have to disagree with this take lol. Since English readers' judgement of whether a danmei author is a good writer or not heavily depends on the translation, it really puts MXTX at a disadvantage. I was talking to @alliumms some time ago about how the wit and whimsy of TGCF's language is completely lost in the official translation - it's not necessarily the translator's fault because it's an almost intangible and untranslatable quality. I've never laughed so hard at anything in danmei as I laughed at Quan Yizhen and his gold bars. It probably wouldn't be half as funny if other writers told the story because half the humour is in the language itself, in the way MXTX phrased things (I should probably write a post about it some day). Priest's language may be more literary than MXTX's but it's certainly not as inventive and creative as MXTX's, and I personally think she doesn't have either MXTX's or Meatbun's ability to connect with readers because her writing can be really dry (sorry Priest for being so hard on you I still think you're a good writer).
@romchat your tags and other people's comments are starting to make me realise how problematic the official translation is and how much it might damage people's impression of MXTX's works๐ In the past I just thought it was an issue of MXTX's humour and quirkiness being lost in translation but at least the beauty of her langauge could still somehow come through, but then I see people calling her 3am taco bell to Priest's personal chef and I just start to doubt my reality ๆ็ไบบ็.
I suggest people read Ari's translation of MXTX's short story that MXTX wrote even way before her first novel and judge for yourself if this deserves to be called 3am taco bell.
