Danmei and Baihe C Novels and Manhua Officially Licensed in English

Things are getting licensed fast enough that keeping a list like this up-to-date is basically impossible, but I saw someone asking in the tags so I figured I'd try. All titles are danmei unless otherwise noted (very little baihe is licensed so far). I've included Chinese titles, but sometimes publishers change the original titles so much that I can't track them down, apologies. I've hit the link limit on this post so I've had to remove NovelUpdate links, but they're still in the version of this post on Wordpress. Note that Taiwanese titles are not included on this list.

This is everything I know of as of October 24, 2024. There might be more. I tried. Resources used to compile this list: Danmeinews.com; this Carrd, last updated in March 2023; this other carrd last updated October 23 2024; list of danmei with official licenses on NovelUpdates; a similar list on Goodreads; danmei-specific list on Reddit that to my eye looks accurate for the larger publishers but isn't thorough for some of the smaller ones.

Seven Seas:

The full list of danmei novels licensed by Seven Seas is here. The full list of danmei manhua licensed by Seven Seas is here.

These titles are in various stages of publication, from "entire series released" to "license literally announced less than a week ago." As far as I know, all Seven Seas titles are available world-wide, through major distributors and libraries, and in e-book and print formats. Seven Seas translation quality varies but the editing is general strong and the editions are sturdy and nice. Note that Seven Seas isn't without controversy, especially for treating their contractors poorly resulting in them unionizing. Some people have also been unhappy with the fidelity of their translations compared to the original Chinese (I've been satisfied personally but ymmv).

Rosmei:

Rosmei licenses are Singapore distribution rights only. There is a list of international partners organizing group orders here. I've personally placed my orders through Yiggybean, as discussed in reply to this ask. Most of these titles are only being released as print editions, tho titles that weren't originally on JJWXC (of which there are several here) WILL have e-book editions. My first book from Rosmei arrived, and I found the translation and editing to be very strong. I can't speak to how accurate it may be to the Chinese original, but it read smoothly and had very few errors. Overall, though they've made some mistakes, they've been communicative and responsive.

Peach Flower House:

Peach Flower House titles are primarily for sale through their website and through some distributors, such as Amazon.com. Whether titles are e-book only, print only, or both varies by title. In my opinion, Peach Flower House has inconsistent inconsistent editing quality, but the books are very readable, and I'm excited that they're working with translators such as E. Danglars. I haven't bought any of their special editions so can't speak to their extras, but I've bought all their print translations and will continue to do so going forward.

Da Feng Gua Guo:

The Imperial Uncle (Huang Shu)

Peach Blossom Debt (Taohua Zhai)

Other Titles:

Golden Terrace (Huang Jin Tai) by Cang Wu Bin Bai

In the Dark (Zai Hei An Zhong) by Jin Shisi Chai

Little Mushroom (Xiao Mogu) by Shisi

University of the Underworld (Yinjian Daxue) by Ziloi

-

Via Lactea:

The partial list of danmei novels licensed by Via Lactea is here, but there are titles I've seen them selling that aren't on this list.

Via Lactea titles are primarily for sale through their website and through some distributors, such as Amazon.com. All titles are either print-only or e-book + print. Only a handful have actually been released, the rest are licensed and presumably in progress. I've now read three titles published by Via Lactea and while the translations are decent I could wish the editing was more consistent. Everything reads as if it would have been improved by one more thorough proof read.

Jing Shui Bian titles:

Salad Days (Jing Jiu)

Silent Hearts (Mo Mai)

Other Titles:

Apocalypse (Quanqiu Jinhua Hou Wo Zhan Zai Shiwulian Dingduan) by Qi Liu

Aloha Comics:

A tiny, Hawaii-based press focusing on manhua. Titles are available through major retailers such as Amazon and Bookshop.org. I've purchased one of these titles - Nirvana in Fire - and was please with the quality despite a couple minor errors.

All these titles are manhua!

Day Off by Qing Cai

-

Monogatari Novels:

Monogatari Novels is based in Spain. These titles can also be ordered from at least some major retailers. Note that there has been some controversy about Monogatari Novels. I'm personally not ordering these works until more information is available.

BAIHE: A Clear and Muddy Loss of Love (Jing Wei Qing Shang) by Please Don't Laugh

BAIHE: Female General and Eldest Princess (NuJiangjun he Zhang Gongzhu) by Please Don't Laugh

BAIHE: Soulmate manhua by Wenzhi Lizi

-

BLoved Publishing:

ngl I can't figure out exactly what is up with this, and there seems to be some controversy related to them and their relationship with Monogatari Novels. Their website is depressingly low on details. However, this list is for completeness, so here we are. I'm not ordering from them based on the information currently available. There's more about the conflict between them and Monogatari here.

How to Survive as a Villain (Chuan Yue Cheng Fanpai Yao Ru He Huo Ming) manhua by Yi Yi Yi Yi

The Legendary Master's Wife (Chuanshuo Zhi Zhu de Furen) by Yin Ya

-

Chaleuria:

As far as I can tell, Chaleuria has not updated their webpage since April 2023, so the current status of in-progress titles is unknown. All titles are digital and/or e-book, and I'm not sure how to purchase them as I haven't tried.

Webnovel:

When I first made this list, I heard that Webnovel had a few titles but couldn't actually find them - but now I've found them, thanks to a list someone else put together. I'm including direct links to them, since I had so much trouble finding them at all.

Comrade: Almost a Cat-astrophic Love Story (Jintian ye Yao Nuli Dang Zhimao) by Demonic Fire (link)

My Boyfriend is a Dragon (Nanpiao Shi Tiaolong) by Chubby Strawberry Sauce (link)

The National Sweetheart Livestreamer is a Pro! (Quanmin Zhubo Shi Duiba) by Mo Shang Wang (link)

-

Honorable Mentions:

There are a handful of titles I know of that are official translations of C Novels. These are not books with contextual queerness, but for folks with an interest in Chinese history and culture, they are worth checking out anyway, especially because understanding these stories can help understand the above books. Also, some have active shipping fandoms (for example, I've written for Romance of the Three Kingdoms and Daomu Biji). I've included two above under the entry for titles from Aloha Comics (Link Click and Nirvana in Fire) and here are a couple others I currently know of:

Dream of the Red Chamber (Hong Lou Meng) by Cao Xueqin, available in translation for free from Project Gutenberg

The Grave Robbers’ Chronicles (Daomu Biji) by Nanpai Sanshu (six volumes are available in English from Things Asian Press)

Journey to the West (Xiyou Ji) by Wu Cheng-en, in four volumes from University of Chicago Press

The Legend of the Condor Heroes (She Diao Yingxiong Chuan) by Jin Yong, in four volumes from St. Martin’s Press

Romance of the Three Kingdoms (Sanguo Yanyi), attributed to Luo Guanzhong, available in translations for free from Archive.org

The Seven Heroes and Five Gallants (Zonglie Xiayi Chuan), attributed to Shi Yukun, available in translation for free from Archive.org

Water Margin (Shuihu Zhuan) by Shi Nai’an, from Tuttle Publishing

RESOURCE: List of Chinese speculative fiction in English translation

RESOURCE: More Chinese speculative fiction in English translation

I will add to the "Honorable Mentions" list if I find any other more mainstream titles with official translations.

-

Rumored Licenses:

Sometimes, I hear rumors about titles being licensed before the license is announced - and thus before we know which publisher has licensed them (assuming the rumor is even true). I thought I should note these somewhere. Titles I know of rumors about currently are:

A Certain Someone (Moumou) by Mu Su Li

Devil Venerable Also Wants to Know (Mozun Ye Xiang Zhidao) by Cyan Wings

The Fourteenth Year of Chenghua (Chenghua Shisi Nian) by Meng Xi Shi

Guide on How to Fail at Online Dating (Wanglian Fanche Zhinan) by Jiang Zi Bei

Immortal Koi is Going to Debut (Jinli Daxian Yao Chudao) by Mo Xi Ke

Mist (Bowu) by Wei Feng Ji Xu

-

A handful of other licenses are mentioned on the Carrd I linked at the beginning of this post; I have no idea the status of those titles and wasn't able to find information on them while putting together this post other than what was listed on that Carrd, so I've omitted them.

Now go forth, and buy some books!

[r95irth]

It's my birthday today so i decided to be super self-indulgent and to design and name all Xiyao babies for the Jiaoren AU UvU

You might recognize name from other chinese novel bc i suck at naming.

Anyways i blame the insomnia earlier this week for the absurd number of babies and all that follow :

-1st baby is Jingyi of course, very proud, like chicken the most, his tail is white and blue but his skin has a yellowish glow. You know Jingyi he is pretty much like in canon.

-2nd Baby will be Rusong, who is very long (longer than Jingyi) and has A-Yao's hair floof. He is a lot like his uncle Wangji, (come on king give us nothing!!) probably a bit on the autistic spectrum. He likes to bite and chew on people and float on the pond.

-3rd baby is Haojun (name is Meng Shi 's chinese voice actor) She is very much like her grandmother and her tail color has pink/purple hue like Meng Shi's (but you see more the yellow and the blue). She likes her fathers the most and when A-Yao tried to make her float like a baby otter she cried when he disappeared and LXC had to swim and get her back

-4th baby is Haikuan (name of LXC's actor in CQL), he is a lot like LXC but with A-Yao's colors (yellow for the tails and brown hair) He seems always happy enthusiastic / kind and encouraging. He can be a bit exhausting sometimes because he gives everything his 100% Picture Drunk LXC. He also has the longest tail of all the guppies.

-5th baby is Zanjin (Name of JGY's actor in CQL) he is a lot like his father (A-Yao) but with black Lan hair, he likes shiny things and tiny animals, peace and quiet. He keeps gifting the people he loves with pearls and shells.

-6th baby is Lingwen (name from TGCF, Ling Wen, i hope the contraction is okay) - She is a quiet child, looks a lot like her Lan grandma. Her tail is blue and greenish. She looks super composed but she is the one that can hisses and bites you without a warning.

-7th and 8th are twins Yueyan and Qiyan (Qiyan is from a girl's love chinese novel) their tail are yellow and blue. Yueyan is very much like Lan Xichen and Qiyan a lot like JGY, very close they speak a language only they understand sometimes.

And last ones are 9th and 10th, twins Fengxi and Fuyao. The first human pregnancy JGY got and he was like "finally a human baby !! and he got somehow a dragon baby first. It wasn't a fun time in the labor room. Then he got Fuyao and Fuyao looked very much human and while JGY tried to get his dragon baby undercontrol LXC tended to Fuyao and Fuyao opened his mouth and showed VERY NIT HUMAN FANG (like picture the dragon in how i met your dragon, toothless and then suddenly POOF SHARP TEETH AND CHOMP)

LXC : ...Hm...I'm afraid this one is not completely human like you wanted A-Yao.

JGY : *looks at Fuyao as Fengxi decided he was going to live inside his father's collar robe* they're human enough. No more children.

(they will have more children maybe in 20 years or so but for now it's enough)

Fengxi does not like human, he only tolerates family and hides in his fathers' robe and sleeve all the time. He attacks people who harm his siblings. He likes to steal things that belongs to his family and hoard them all like it's treasure. He probably shifted into his human form the lastest among the guppies, probably near adulthood.

PS : they all have dimples and LXC is the happiest about it.

I also decided for the epilogues children of all the others ship and let me tell you...insomnia was strong.

Wangxian is definitely competing to have as many babies as Xiyao but for now they just say they're competing against ChengQingSang so they can say they're winning (JC's competitive strike is calmed down by his spouses)

Zhangsun Wuji has become one of my favourite characters in dramaland because his plan to dethrone Zhan Nancheng was A BROMANCE TRIANGLE and IT WORKED

I’ve been laughing so hard in these episodes because what do you mean Fuyao is now Jiang Feng, Crown Prince Wuji’s aide turned into Commander of Heaven Fiends’s military because Jiang Feng is mad that Crown Prince Wuji has made a new best friend, Zong Yue.

This is a whole ass theatre play with Starring Fuyao as Crown Prince Wuji’s old flame, Writer and Director Crown Prince Wuji as himself, Supporting Actor Xiaoqi as Eunuch, Guest Actor Zong Yue as Crown Prince Wuji’s new flame.

This acting within the acting is making me feel like we’re back to Taiyuan Arc, the best arc of the drama imo.

I.LOVE.THIS.

I suggest you to read the cnovels by Fei Tian Ye Xiang: he's a great writer and his works have well-written characters and plots and its settings are often based on different historical periods of China.

These are his best titles:

-"To rule in a turbulent world" is a standalone and it has been licensed in English by Via Lactea Ltd.

-"Twin jades of Jiangdong" is a standalone and it has been fully translated in English by the fangroup Chickengege.org (one has to get a password from their Discord group in order to read their translations

-"Exorcism" series: it's composed, in chronological order, by the titles "Dinghai fusheng records", "Tianbao fuyao lu", "Post training notice: National first-class exorcist" and "Record of all things". "Dinghai fusheng records" and "Tianbao fuyao lu" are historical fantasy set, respectively, in the Eastern Jin dynasty during the 4th century AD and in the Tang dynasty in the 8th AD and they have been recently licensed in English by Seven Seas but it's still possible to find fantranslations in English online, thought they aren't the best. "Post training notice: National first-class exorcist" is a urban fantasy set in modern day China and it can be read in English on Chickengege.org and "Record of all things" is its sequel and its fantranslation is ongoing and made by Asianovel.

-"Star officials" series: it's composed, in chronological order, by the titles "Shan you mu xi", "Yingnu", "Let go of that shou" and "Joyful reunion". They're all wuxia stories with intricated political plots. "Shan you mu xi" is the first in the timeline as its setting is inspired by the late Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, thought it was written last, and its English translation is ongoing by Chickengege.org. "Yingnu"'s translation can be found on Chickengege.org but it's incomplete and I don't know when it should be continued. "Let go of that shou" has been fully translated in English by Lazy Girl Translations. "Joyful reunion" has been licensed by Seven Seas so the author of the fantranslation, Foxghost, retired it and left only the extras online, thought it's still possible to find the first hundred chapters online so you can see if you like it and thus if buying the official English edition is worth.

Since you liked "Thousand autumns" by Meng Xi Shi, I think you would like its sequel "Wushuang". Despite having been translated in English by Seven Seas with the title "Peerless", it's still possible to read online the English fantranslation throught Wushuang carrd.

If you're interested in novels from other countries, comics, mangas, manhuas and manhwas too, I think I could suggest you some titles that a fan of MXTX would like. :)

IT’S MY BIRTHDAY MONTH!!! 🎉🎉🎉

As such, I have a few new announcements:

Send me your favorite cnovels that you’ve read, and of the ones that fit my tastes, I’ll pick one to liveblog along with a liveblog of one of my personal favs of y'all's choice. Danmei, baihe, josei, doesn’t matter! (I really, really need new books 😭)

There is a partial embargo on discussions surrounding these characters: Mu Qing and Shen Jiu. Any asks, notes, or reblogs I receive about these characters meant to spark debate may be ignored until December 1. Good faith discussions have a chance to be engaged. Possibly.

The complete embargo on discussions surrounding the character Jiang Cheng has been extended. Any asks, notes, or reblogs I receive that have anything to do with this character may be summarily ignored until December 1.
