This is a great gang story of two men who operate on different sides. The twists are very twisted and this author does a great... more>> job of hiding the truth underneath the primary story so that when we get to the truth, it's kind of mind blowing.

Ye Shuigui had never seen a man so beautiful, so radiant. 

This is great. If you've seen the Untamed series, you should definitely read this. It goes into greater detail, and it is definitely yaoi. These two are night and day different, but they love each other fiercely, strongly, bravely, and beautifully. ... more>>

The Peng Society for Gentlemen — a secret friend-making club for the homos*xual men of the Great Xia Dynasty. Its services were designed to help its members along in their quest for their lifelong partners. Upon paying a monthly fee of fifty coins, members could get themselves listed in The Pengornisseur after providing a self-portrait, a mailing address, their age, and hobbies, as well as a self-introduction. All members would receive a copy of the monthly publication, and they could communicate with one another in private using the information in The Pengornisseur. Wu Xingzi, a bachelor about to turn forty, worked as the adviser to the magistrate in Qingcheng County.

Qingcheng County was a place with barely any resources. In other words, it was poor. In the list of counties of the Great Xia Dynasty, it had been ranked at the bottom for the past two hundred years.

Wu Xingzi felt that his life was hopeless: not only was he a homosexual, he was also a virg*n. Even his retirement fund was lacking. Worse still, his looks were… forgettable.

He might as well die.

Hence, Wu Xingzi decided to commit su*cide on his fortieth birthday. However, he was unwilling to remain a virg*n to death! And so, gritting his teeth, he joined the Peng Society for Gentlemen and received The Pengornisseur. It was very painful; after all, fifty coins were the sum of his daily expenditure for ten days! He would only pay it once, and he was determined to succeed on his first try. <<less

Set in a fictional London, at the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, Edward Lander’s name was both renowned and hated by the empire, which needed his groundbreaking intelligence, and by the anti-science organizations who detested such unnatural progress.

Description from the translator:

In miserable times, drinking water could even satiate hunger. Thankfully, Han Qingyan didn’t die when he fell off the cliff, but was instead forced like a woman and expected to birth a child! 

"You psycho! Look carefully! I’m a man!!! Even if I am topped every day, I can’t produce an egg!"

Unfortunately, no matter how angry or helpless he felt, he couldn’t deny it. With his Demon Sect Master’s position usurped, the only one whom he had was Psycho. It was the warmth of a lifetime that he would never forget. Even if he recovered and forgot everything that had happened, even if he had everything and no longer cared for a stranger like him, he would still sacrifice his all for him….

The righteous and the evil had always been at odds. He had been plotting everything. Just for this one person, this relationship, and his heart. <<less

This reminds me of a Chinese "Of Mice and Men". ... more>>

It's about two roommates slowly falling in love. A great read. It's way more emotional than you expect, and, unlike "Of Mice and Men," it has a great and happy ending. Yuan Yuan is dense as hell, but he finally gets that he loves his roommate, Chen Dong Lan.
