Cover image from the JJWXC version of To Embers We Return

Extract from Chapter 34 of the English fan translation of To Embers We Return: A simple touch on the cheek from an ordinary acquaintance would yield a standardised tactility score of fifty. A caress on the same spot from a skilled and passionate lover would produce a much higher tactility score, between seventy-five to eighty-eight. The highest tactility score that had emerged from these studies was ninety-nine from the face, and one hundred and eighty-nine for the neck. As one went further down, the intensity of each subject’s response was determined largely by their own natural sensitivity and the skill of their respective lovers. The question of ‘skill’, of course, did not even arise where Shen Ni and Bian Jin were concerned. Yet even though Shen Ni was not actually touching her, the tactility score from Bian Jin’s face was already close to the maximum score that had been observed from her test subjects’ necks. In other words, all Shen Ni had to do was move her hand in a caressing gesture while it was still half a finger’s width away from Bian Jin’s cheek, and Bian Jin would feel it as intensely as if some master of seduction were kissing and nibbling at her throat.

Chapter 34 of Ning Yuan's historical cyberpunk baihe To Embers We Return now up!

(Shen Ni: I construct intricate mathematical models which allow me to touch the skin of other women, i.e. my wife)

as if it doesn't have any more political implications. as if the olympics isn't a big country dick off for the "major" countries. as if nothing else has ever been political!!

kind of weird to me that hockey fan(girls) will say "im rooting for team canada over team usa in mens hockey bc team usa players are bigoted!" as if they're trying to stand on the "right" side of history. as if the canadian men can't be bigoted despite growing up in the same sheltered environment

finished a book last night. borrowed a book from the campus library last semester. borrowed a book from the local library a few days ago bc the campus library book doesn't fit into my backpack. listening to an audiobook on my walks to and from campus. borrowed another book on libby. WHO AM I?!

what kind of a bubble do you have to be living in to say this? i think it would've been fair to say this about the other batch of danmei they did but this one is a half decent grab ...

very irked at all the "7s keeps licensing danmeis no one knows about" comments and it's 2 titles ppl don't recognize ... i know the other 3! revenged love has a tv adaptation hello ??? they seem to have a good thing going on with feitian works and huai shang is popular so why wouldn't they

taiwanese uncle on campus asking me if i can come to taiwanese conversation table and im like, im not sure i want to learn taiwanese hokkien from you if you're not the authentic one (chiayi, tainan ONLY). also he kept talking to me like my family is green ... sorry we are BLUE. get out of my face

Cover image of The Night Sweeps the Mountains Away by Tanvir Ahmed. The illustration is of a woman in profile, wearing a dark headscarf, sitting on the ground with a lantern on her left and a dog at her right. The dog is white, with long legs and a long, curved tail. They are seated on a hill overlooking a valley, with mountains and the night sky in the distance.

It is cover reveal time!
