I absolutely ADORE your art for everything, but especially how you have Mu Tuanchi using sign language!! So sad the book didn’t go that way 😭 BUT there’s always this amazing art! 😍 but I was wondering, too, do you know (and like, lol) other danmei with disabled mcs?
Thank you! I can't say I was surprised by how that plotline wrapped up but I love the idea of Mu Tianchi getting to learn sign language so much more ;^; it will forever be my personal headcanon for the end of the series, they can't take it from me! As for other disabled danmei protags...
the first part of Thousand Autumns you have a MC who is grievously injured and spends a decent portion of the series slowly healing. He's initially fully blind, and then visually and physically impaired for quite a while after that. I liked how it was an on going challenge for him and not something immediately brushed aside as he heals.
The first book of Thrice Married to a Salted Fish has a MC who is terminally ill and has to deal with good and bad days, and the fact that he can't physically do things he would like to, or that if he tries it will have consequences for him. The other MC is his physician and man I got very emotional over the first book of this series.
(as for liking them... Thousand Autumns is fairly popular and I really liked the characters and relationship dynamics but I personally found the plot and pacing not quite to my taste. I did read the full series though, so it wasn't like I hated it or anything. I really liked the first book of MTSF and the second was pretty good, I fully intend to read the next book when it comes out. I didn't fall in love with either of them like I did DTBPF or the MXTX novels but both were a solid read)
I also have After the Disabled God of War Became My Concubine on my shelf which is going to be my next read after I finish the first book of Misvil, though I can't tell you what the disability will look like in that series.
Those are the only ones that jump immediately to mind that I've read (or am queued to read) 🤔 though if anyone else knows of any please feel free to drop a rec!

[ID: A DTBPF Drawing. Both characters drawn in a chibi form. Li Yu, with his hair down and dressed in his inner/sleeping robes smiles brightly as he is princess carried in Mu Tianchi's arms. One of his hands comes to rest on his own lap whilst the other rests against MT's heart/chest. He leans his head onto MT's shoulder. MT, also with his hair is a more informal/loose style, rests his head against LY's with a soft smile. He is also dressed in his sleeping robes. End ID]
