Volume 4 of Lotus Step now has an ISBN, so we should be seeing more information trickle in about the cover, pre-order, and release within the next couple of months.

PSA

Yes, it's another PSA. I'd like to repeat that I'm not targetting anyone. I saw something like this in another fandom and I just want to get a few words out.

This one is about cheating so if there's anyone triggered by this, please don't read for your own safety <3

I'm not sure what makes people think of this but why would you write about a character, someone might use for comfort, cheating on your oc, the reader, etc? Cheating is a serious issue and it gives those that have been through it a hard time with other people. It's not cute and it's not fun. Don't make any characters like this for your own entertainment, I'm begging you. I've been through this myself and you have no idea how much it sucks to be affected by it. Just have fun with those characters and don't make them bad.

If you want to give them some personality, make up hobbies for them or write a specific storyline. It's up to you. I'm just the one throwing the message out in the world.

An eyebrow raised and an amused expression on his face, Kai looked at Lin with slight confusion and gaiety. While he found her sudden action to be puzzling, Kai was also curious at her intentions. Compared to her, Kai wasn't the most intimate person you could ever meet. He was reluctant about it ( and perhaps it was only reserved for his brother ), silently judging the other's character while scrutinizing their intentions. He was a curious individual and preferred to observe from afar, thus; when people seek him about his curiosities and such, Kai resorts to acts of aggressiveness and distance, finding their sudden attention to be uncomfortable or alarming. Hence every social interaction was a fight or flight situation to him.

But with Lin, it was a little different than the usual.

While yes, he felt the same when he first met her, gradually with hard work and patience, this little human wormed her way to his personal space to the point that being around her didn't feel provoking. It was calming, like a sedative to his violence, and that... Scared him.

Though it wasn't Lin that he was scared of, but the affect that she had on him. No one but his brother managed to make him feel like this, though Lukas was an exception for they were twins ( they were bound to feel safe around each other, at least, to Kai's perspective. )

He wanted to run away from it, for it was foreign and strange, yet here he was, letting the girl lay upon his lap as if they've done such a thing before. Kai had leaned back, watching Lin as a hand of his lifted off the ground. He poked her cheek, a small smirk settled upon his face.

"Getting comfortable as fuck now, are we?" He commented, "So what the fuck are you doing? Knowing you, you're probably thinking of something dirty, huh? You're concerningly close to my crotch, bunny. You sure you aren't trying to jump me? " There was a teasing tone to his voice.

But perhaps it was moments like this... That made Kai thought, 'It's not so bad to stay for a while... '

Thank you

I know I haven't posted in a while, and it's been even longer since I posted an actual x reader. I want to say thank you to everyone because I reached 1,000 followers. Honestly I started crying when I saw that many followers. Thank you all so much, from the bottom of my heart. I never thought that I'd ever get this many followers, thank you so so much. I love you all! ♡

Sorry for asking another question so soon but I just binge-watched the Pillow Book again and I’m actually really invested in the passive-aggressive relationship between Fengjiu and Shen Ye. Obviously they have such amazing chemistry because the actors are the same lol.

Dong Hua accuses Fengjiu of actually growing feelings for Shen Ye and I can totally see why he thinks that in the drama although I can’t see Shen Ye returning them. Is there any hint of this in the book?

It’s a mark how amazing the actors are that I ship them with the different characters they play.

Although Admin Ro is the expert in all things Pillowbook drama and novel, she's asleep at this time, but from my recall of the novel, no, there was no sort of romantic feelings developed on Feng Jiu's side toward Shen Ye. As she had feelings for "Xize" aka who Donghua is playing in this instance, who was Aranya's husband. At no point does Feng Jiu know that it's Donghua she's in love with.

But the actors are so good at their job!! And I understand where you're coming from. <3

Anonymous asked: I so much loved reading the english translation of ELOD- The Pillow Book and the TMOPB story. Is there ANY Chance at all to get the english translation of "Step Lotus" and "The Bodhi Fate"? They are published in Chinese but I could find no trace of an English translation by now. My inner "monk" (series Adrian.Monk, a traumatized obsessive american TV detective) is all upset and crying all day for not being able to read on Tang Qi's delicious style of writing.

Hey! I'm so sorry to say this but besides what's linked in our pinned post and the bits and pieces Admin Ro wants to do, there's no English translation for Lotus Step. It's not even finished publishing yet (we're at vol. 3 of 4 volumes) if you've at all gone through our blog, and Bodhi Fate hasn't even been written yet.

Hopefully you can find asian fantasy novels to fulfill your desire to read similar genre, be it translated works or western published Asian authors.

Recommendations I can give for Western published authors I've either read or a few I want to read -

Daughter of the Moon Goddess by Sue Lynn Tan

Have not read this as of yet but I have full intentions to soon or later.

Girls of Paper and Fire by Natasha Ngan

Please, please look up trigger warnings for this one.

The Iron Widow by Xiran Jay Zhao

Check trigger warnings, but also this is more sci-fi than fantasy, just as a disclaimer. But still really good.

The Singing Hills Cycle by Nghi Vo

Multiple novella series, I enjoy it quite a bit.

The Poppy Wars by R.F. Kuang

Haven't read this yet but please, please check trigger warnings as this does involve more dark themes and elements, leans a bit more realistic than fantasy from what I know.

The Girl Who Fell Beneath the Sea by Axie Oh

I've not read this but it sounds so good, I want to devour it.

Translated works:

The Guide to Capturing a Black Lotus by Bai Yu Zhai Diao Gong

Admin Ro has read this; warning it is cheesy 2010s xianxia vibes. Which means it also may have tropes people do not like in it.

Anything by Jiu Lu Fei Xiang (author of The Blue Whisper, Fairy and Devil, Si Ming, etc.)

Anonymous asked: Do Mo yuan and Ye hua ever have a brotherly moment together?

The closest of information we get about the twins right now is Mo Yuan came to pick Qian up as Yehua's elder brother in The Pillowbook and at the end of the novel where Mo Yuan, Yehua, and Qian breaking the Starlight Ward to get to Feng Jiu and Donghua, of which we only hear of after the fact.
