it does mean she doesn't have to abandon the senior sister role, and can live vicariously through the puppet to fulfil the goal of her younger self while potentially doing things she couldn't normally (ie. access resources in the sect qianqiu proper cannot). it'd be interesting to see if she keeps up the facade or if she abandons the puppet actAwwww! Still completely pointless though because that's just a puppet.
Thank you so much for the constuctive criticism, I appreciate it! It helps me learn more and I'm glad you guys are enjoying the story! I'll make sure to note it in future chapters! ^^The translation and typesetting are very quality, though if I may share a small constructive criticism, I think you're overdoing the TL notes a bit. Still a very impressive job regardless c:
