I'm a little confused about the way female Chinese names are presented.

putting Shi at the end of the name of women means "lady", right? Like Bianshi. But Lianshi? Is that her name, or it supposed to be Lady Lian? But her family name is Bu. So technically, it's Bushi.

Then you have "Ji" to mean "princess?" like Xiahouji or Yuanji(not Wang Yuanji, I mean Sun Quan's wife). Then you have Wang Yuanji is the "Ji" an extension, or is it fully Yuanji? Then you have Zhenji. Princess Zhen? Or?

I'm so confused :lol:
Yuanji is outright the name of Lady Wang. It is mentioned in Jin shu according to Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms Xianxi 1, Note 5.2. Chronicles is Achilles Fang's translation of Sima Guang's Zizhi Tongjian. Her name was Wang Yuanji. In this case, Koei did not make it up.

氏 (shi4) just indicates the original clan of a woman so lady is a pretty good approximation. When something like Bushi is written it means that their maiden clan's surname is Bu. I could be wrong, but I think it is sometimes translated as nee in English, from what I gather.

Incidentally, I have no idea where "Lianshi" comes from. I suspect Koei made it up? Lady Bu's SGZ biography is translated in Cutter and Crowell's Empresses and Consorts, but I don't see any mention whatsoever of her given name. She is just referred to as Lady Bu and mentioned to come from the same clan as Bu Zhi.

I'm unaware of the other Chinese character for "Ji," but looking it up on google reveals that in Japanese it means "hime" or "princess." So yeah, you can figure that it means princess. The Ji part of Zhen Ji's name is this character. I don't believe that Lady Zhen's name is known historically. It does not appear in the English SGZ biography translated in Empresses and Consorts.

edit-sima guang not sima qian. my mistake.

im glad this arc is making people a little sick of Levi, I hope he dies soon, i dont hate him by any means, but i worry he has been in the spotlight far too much lately and hes one of the most boring characters in the series, sure, i like him, hes fine, but hes definitely my least favourite main character by far and hes hasnt got even a little bit of character developement despite the intense amount of focus on him

Speaking of her, I was surprised she got with Tatsumi. Every other story made me think it was going to be Akame. Maybe he will once Mine dies.
