About

Hello! I'm Deyonna. I'm currently learning Chinese, and translating danmei (Chinese BL) novels is one of the ways I study and immerse myself in the language. My translations are done with the help of machine translation. I run the raws through different websites like Google Translate, DeepL, and Yandex. To better understand tricky words and phrases, I rely on several Chinese dictionaries, and when sentences or phrasings get really complex, I consult native Chinese speakers.

I translate alone. I don't have an editor, and English isn't my first language. That means every correction you send my way truly means a lot to me. If you spot any mistakes in my translations, feel free to leave a comment, and I'll fix them as soon as I can.

I post on Chrysanthemum Garden and on this site. Please read my translations on either site, and don't re-upload my translations elsewhere. It's the best way to support me!

If you'd like to offer extra support, you can leave a tip on Ko-fi or simply drop a comment. Both make my day.

Happy reading, and good luck to everyone else on their Chinese-learning journey too!
