After the Disabled God of War Became My Concubine (Novel)

Story by: Liu Gou Hua | Art by: Fish (@mofumofish), SeokSu

A strange thesis becomes one professor’s reality when he’s transmigrated to the past and awakens as a doomed prince in this hit danmei (Boys’ Love)!

An outrageous thesis has just hit the desk of esteemed history professor Jiang Suizhou. Dubiously sourced, it tells the story of the General Huo Wujiu, a man who was captured, incapacitated, and forced to serve as concubine to his enemy’s brother—the cut-sleeve prince. For three grueling years, the general lived as a prisoner until he escaped and sought vengeance against his tormentors.

Convinced the story is pure fiction, Jiang Suizhou brands the thesis a failure, that is, until he wakes up as the cut-sleeve prince himself!

Now, stuck lording over his concubine and prisoner Huo Wujiu, Jiang Suizhou only has one option to avoid facing the general's future wrath: Ally himself with Huo Wujiu. Still, this strategy could backfire if Huo Wujiu were to get the wrong idea about his intentions.

Story by: Bo Mu Bing Lun | Art by: 千二百, nokdock4

Two young men must survive a deadly supernatural game in this action-packed danmei/Boys' Love series!

Architecture student Lin Jue never expected his Friday night to end in bloodshed. After receiving a “lucky egg,” he’s dragged into a deadly game where survival isn’t a goal—it’s the only rule. And when the brilliant but unreadable medical student Song Hanzhang saves his life, Lin Jue forms an ironclad bond with this man who reveals nothing and misses nothing.

The two must rely on each other to survive the brutal trials of the Devil's Hunting Ground, from ravenous creatures to equally desperate players. But in this ruthless game, trust may be the most dangerous gamble of all. As alliances fracture and morality slips away, the true questions come to light: Who is actually pulling the strings—and when the last dawn rises, will Song Hanzhang still be standing at Lin Jue's side?

The Scum Villain’s Self-Saving System: Ren Zha Fanpai Zijiu Xitong (Novel)

Story by: Mo Xiang Tong Xiu | Art by: Xiao Tong Kong (Velinxi)

NEW YORK TIMES BEST SELLER! The blockbuster danmei/Boys’ Love novels from China that inspired the animated Scumbag System series streaming in English! This hilarious story of a man reborn as a villain in a fantasy novel series who ends up romancing the male protagonist is now officially in English, for the very first time.

Half-demon Luo Binghe rose from humble beginnings and a tortured past to become unrivaled in strength and beauty. With his dominion over both the Human and Demon Realms and his hundreds-strong harem, he is truly the most powerful protagonist...in a trashy webnovel series!

At least, that's what Shen Yuan believes as he finishes reading the final chapter in Proud Immortal Demon Way. But when a bout of rage leads to his sudden death, Shen Yuan is reborn into the world of the novel in the body of Shen Qingqiu--the beautiful but cruel teacher of a young Luo Binghe. While Shen Qingqiu may have the incredible power of a cultivator, he is destined to be horrifically punished for crimes against the protagonist.

The new Shen Qingqiu now has only one course of action: get into Luo Binghe's good graces before the young man's rise to power or suffer the awful fate of a true scum villain!

The Sword Named No Way Out: Jian Ming Bu Nai He (Novel)

Story by: Huai Shang | Art by: Bakuten

A twisting fantasy adventure danmei about finding redemption across multiple lifetimes.

The last thing powerful cultivator Gong Wei remembers before his death is bleeding out beneath his archenemy Xu Shuangce’s infamous blade—the sword known as No Way Out. The weapon should have annihilated his soul forever, so when Gong Wei awakens sixteen years later in the body of a beautiful but witless young male disciple, no one is more surprised than he is.

Determined to hide his true identity lest Xu Shuangce return to finish the job, the mischievous Gong Wei attaches himself to two young cultivators traveling to investigate a string of horrific deaths in the nearby city of Linjiang. Yet what he finds there is even more shocking: The mysterious murderer appears to be impersonating none other than Gong Wei himself. And the closer Gong Wei comes to uncovering the killer’s identity, the more questions arise about the events surrounding his death—and what truly happened between him and Xu Shuangce sixteen years ago.

Story by: Hao Da Yi Juan Wei Sheng Zhi

Before Yin Biyue knows it, he’s surrounded by allies and the fallout of a misunderstanding that makes everyone in his cultivation sect think he’s the victim.

The White Cat’s Divine Scratching Post (Novel)

Story by: Lv Ye Qian He | Art by: Bakuten

Surviving death is one thing, but can a reborn demonic cultivator survive studying under the high brow of his new—and oddly familiar—cat-like master? See how his plans go from purrfect to near cat-tastrophe in this hiss-terical rom-com! From the author of The Wife Comes First: Qi Wei Shang, also available from Seven Seas.

In his former life, Mo Tianliao was a feared demonic cultivator, renowned for forging spiritual weapons of devastating power. But just as he was about to complete a weapon capable of destroying the world, the righteous sects banded together to take him down. Before his death, he managed one final act of devotion: Saving his beloved white kitten.

Four hundred years later, Mo Tianliao awakens in the body of a divine tree—alive, but stripped of spiritual power. To survive in this new era, he must start over from scratch by joining a righteous sect as a humble disciple.

His new master? Qingtong—a man of ethereal beauty and unmistakably feline mannerisms. And the more time Mo Tianliao spends with him, the more he begins to suspect that this aloof, elegant cultivator is not the stranger he pretends to be.

The Banquet of the Winding Wine ends with one nobleman falling asleep warm in his bed. When he wakes, he’s shackled as a prisoner in the Northern Domain of Tealspire, feared by all as an archfiend! However, he’s not the only one who’s just woken up.

Floating above the Boundless Sea is Tealspire—a towering, thirty-three-story prison built to contain fiends, where the damned are forgotten and demons waste away. At its summit, Wu Xingxue awakens with blood on his hands, chains at his feet, and no memory of how he arrived. The life he once led as a nobleman of Magpie Haven is gone, replaced by confinement and confusion.

Disoriented and stripped of everything, Wu Xingxue is no longer a pampered aristocrat—he’s an archfiend. But fate has other plans. His awakening stirs the legendary Tianxiu Immortal, Xiao Fuxuan: a cold, enigmatic figure with the word mian etched into his neck, wielding a power steeped in divine judgment.

As Tealspire begins to collapse around them, the two must forge a reluctant alliance to survive its fall—and face whatever awaits below. Yet the mysteries only deepen. Why did Tealspire fall? What became of Wu Xingxue’s former life? And who, truly, is the Tianxiu Immortal?

This Mature-rated danmei/Boys' Love novel series originally released in Chinese–and coming to the English language for the first time–is a raunchy romantic comedy about an ancient singles club!

It's not easy for a man pushing forty to meet other gay men while living on the outskirts of the Great Xia kingdom. That is, until the perpetually-single Wu Xingzi catches wind of The Peng Society for Gentleman—a top secret club for men to meet each other and perhaps even exchange lewd ink drawings of their personal anatomy via pigeon post.

What was once a faraway dream for Wu Xingzi has quickly become his new purpose in life: to collect as many shockingly detailed phallic illustrations as he can!

There's just one problem. His favorite specimen belongs, in the flesh, to the notorious Guan Shanjin, a man of ill repute who is intent on thrusting himself into Wu Xingzi's world. Will their encounters become too hot for Wu Xingzi to handle? Or will they find themselves both coming back for more?

FAQ

Will Seven Seas be publishing any more danmei series?

If our current books continue to sell well, that increases the chance that other danmei will be published officially in English! We’re thrilled to already be bringing works over from multiple beloved authors. Thank you for your support! And feel free to suggest any licenses in our monthly survey, which can be found via our main website.

Will you censor anything?

We’re working closely with respected translators in the danmei community to ensure a smooth, faithful translation of the original works given to us by the rights holders. The rights holders decide what manuscripts will be published in our territories, which can include material not available in other editions (such as short stories and sex scenes) or even new content for the Seven Seas edition.

Will you include all the short stories and bonus chapters?

Our editions will include all the material given to us by the rights holders for publication in English. In most cases, that will include short stories previously seen in print and digital editions, although there are some exceptions (such as a story exclusive to another publication).

Will the books have content warnings/ratings?

Seven Seas does not include specific content warnings on novels. However, Seven Seas does print age ratings on the back of books with a high level of adult content, such as books rated Mature.

Why has the release date of a book changed?

There are many reasons why release dates may change, including factors that are outside of our control. We’re working hard to get high-quality translations and illustrations of your favorite books out to you—thank you for your patience!

Does this support the creator?

These are official English editions licensed from the rights holders, so every new copy purchased—ebook or paperback—will support the original creator, like the official editions in various other languages.

Is the artwork “official”?

Yes! All the artwork published in our editions—from the character designs to the logos to the interior illustrations—must receive full approval from the rights holders.

Will you hire me to translate, edit, or draw for a danmei series?

Please stay tuned to our Jobs page to see when we’re hiring. You can also share your resume or portfolio for consideration via the contact form on our main website. Please note that Seven Seas cannot reply to all submissions, and emailing us does not guarantee consideration.

Will there be an audiobook?

While we cannot guarantee that every danmei novel will receive an audiobook release, any danmei audiobooks we release will be published under the Seven Seas Siren imprint. You can find all current and available audiobooks here.

What about the manhua/comics?

Seven Seas is releasing the Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation manhua/comic as well, with multiple volumes already available. More details here.

Why do you include guides in the back of danmei novels?

Our faithful translations include specific terms and tropes that may be unfamiliar to new readers, so we also include various footnotes, glossaries, and/or guides to help explain them. Some series have more elaborate guides than others.

Can we order the books directly from you?

Not at this time. Our physical books are distributed by Penguin Random House, the largest distributor in North America, and they send our books to many retailers and bookstores around the world.

Will you publish hardcovers, box sets, special editions, or merch?

All English editions are paperbacks or ebooks that include internal illustrations and feature new art. Some books, such as the finale volumes of the MXTX novels, also have special limited editions that include extra art or merchandise. We will announce any additional special editions or formats that may be coming.

Will the books ship/be available internationally?

Each series will be available in North America and in many bookstores around the globe. In case the books are not available in a store near you, some online retailers will also ship internationally.

Why is the price different on _______ website?

There are two set prices for our books—the US and CAN—however it is up to the discretion of retailers how to price the books, and some fluctuations may occur for a variety of reasons including sales or the exchange rate of your local currency.

How does Seven Seas decide how long a book will be, or how many volumes the full series will be?

This depends on many factors and is specific to each series. It’s common for the number of volumes in a series to vary across all of the languages the series is printed in.

Are all the danmei novels in the same format/have the same type of content?

In general, the novels in our danmei label are prose paperbacks/ebooks with illustrations (both color and B&W) and some sort of appendix material in the back (glossary, etc.). Some series may have slight variations or include additional features, like French flaps, additional art, or a special edition release.

Why does an artist, translator, etc., sometimes change over the course of a series?

This is dependent on many factors, some of which are outside of our control (such as a health issue).

I’m overseas and preordered ______, but haven’t received it yet! Where is it?

We distribute our books internationally but we can’t control how stocking or pre-orders are handled at every retailer, so customers need to contact them directly.

Resources

Glossary

A select list of terms for those new to the genre. All of our releases also include footnotes and/or guides specific to that series.

Danmei:

a Chinese fiction genre focused on romanticized tales of love and attraction between men, similar to BL (boys’ love) from Japan. The majority of well-known danmei writers are women writing for women, although all genders produce and enjoy the genre.

 

Donghua:

a term for animation from China, used in the same way as anime is for animation from Japan.

 

Manhua:

a term for a comic from China, used as manga (Japan) and manhwa (Korea). Manhua can be color or black and white, and pages read left to right.

 

Baihe:

the woman/woman counterpart to danmei, similar to Girls’ Love/GL or yuri from Japan.

 

Xianxia:

a fantasy subgenre of wuxia, with characters striving to achieve immortality. Xianxia has heavy Daoist and “cultivation” themes, includes magic, and might expand beyond the mortal realm to the heavenly realm, the ghost realm, and the cosmos.

 

Cultivators:

in xianxia, cultivators are spiritually powerful martial artists who seek to understand and be in harmony with the will of the universe, known as the dao (“the Path”)—a concept in many schools of Chinese religion and philosophy, including Daoism. Cultivation is the general process of training and strengthening one’s innate qi and spiritual core, which powers magical/spiritual abilities and can make one immortal (immune to illness and aging).

 

Qi:

sometimes written as chiqi is the vital energy that exists in all living things, both righteous and poisonous. Cultivators strive to cultivate qi by absorbing it from the natural world and refining it within themselves.

 

Transmigration:

similar to the isekai genre in Japanese media, where a character—usually from the modern world—is transported to the past, the future, or a fantasy world, often one that was originally a novel or video game the transmigrator may have recently experienced in their first life.

Pronunciation Guide

Mandarin Chinese is the official state language of China.

It is a tonal language, so correct pronunciation is vital to being understood! As many readers may not be familiar with the use and sound of tonal marks, below is a very simplified guide on the pronunciation of select character names from MXTX’s series to help get you started.
