Ballad of Sword and Wine: Qiang Jin Jiu Vol. 1 by Tang Jiu Qing

“I cherish my life and am loath to lose it—but they want me to shoulder someone else’s guilt, to pay for countless lives with my own when I have but one life to give. So how does that work? Thus I bow and scrape and try to gain favor, all in the hope that Er-gongzi and your peers will have mercy on me. If you want me to confess today, Er-gongzi, then at least tell me what I’m guilty of.”

hats off to the translators!!!!!
