    Summary

    When Lan Wangji came to the magistrate’s estate in Yunmeng, he found the aged manor house in a state of neglect.

    The county was no longer what it used to be. Few people within its borders could truly be called wealthy; and with no diversions for rich men to be had within a day’s travel from the magistrate’s seat, a posting in Yunmeng had long been considered something of a punishment in the capital.

    We grant Lan Wangji a fifteen years’ appointment at the magistrate’s office in Yunmeng, read the imperial decree bestowed to Lan Wangji last month. In this way, the Second Young Master Lan can serve the people in peace, in accordance with his temperament.

    This did not come as a surprise, for Lan Wangji’s appointment—which he did not consider a punishment, in spite of the circumstances—had been granted in retribution for his brother’s betrayal of the Emperor.

    In which Lan Wangji goes into exile, immerses himself in local tradition, and falls in love with a river god.

    Summary

    Nestled between a strange, shimmering lake and a legendary mountain range, Caiyi Town is a place shrouded in magical oddities where ghosts linger, tea leaves whisper secrets, and murder is just the beginning.

    When witchy inventor Wei Ying inherits a sentient book-and-tea shop—Immortal Books & Brews—from his estranged grandmother, he only wants a fresh start and a decent kettle. What he gets instead is a series of murders, a great town mystery, and a stoic half-dragon detective with eyes like a storm.
    From enchanted bookstores and gossiping noodles to sentient shelves and overly dramatic seals of ancient power, Caiyi is home to rascals, fluffs, and more secrets than its cobbled streets can hold.
    And Wei Ying? He may be a chaos magnet, but this time, he’s staying. Murder, mischief, and magical mishaps be damned.

    Expect:
    Found family & slow-burn romance
    Cozy horror & soft hauntings
    Magical misfits solving mysteries
    Weird kids, weirder magic
    Flirting over tea and crime scenes
    Sentient furniture, gossiping townsfolk, and emotional damage—but make it whimsical

    Welcome to Caiyi. Don’t mind the floating teacups. They only bite if provoked.
