Dao of The Salted Fish

Chrysanthemum Garden | Scribble Hub | AO3 | Tapas

Boys Love, Cultivation, Xianxia, Fluff, Slice of Life

Wen Zhihao is tired of life. When he dies…meh. That’s life.

But when he gets transmigrated into the body of a young cultivator of the prestigious Golden Sun Sect, full of possibilities…no thanks! He has no effort/energy to work hard on cultivation! He just wants to be a salted fish!

…it turns out sleeping = meditation and absently watching beautiful scenery = meditation.

And meditation = cultivation…

This is not the Dao of Indifference. This is the Dao of the Salted Fish!! With calm emotions, Wen Zhihao accidentally cultivates strongly!

…but he’s still a salted fish, bah. Don’t make him fight!

Feat: slow build / slice of life~

Fire Burning

Tapas | AO3 | Scribble Hub

Boys Love, Avatar-style Elemental Powers, Trans Male MC

Khai suppresses his fire, pretends to be who he’s not. For when people look at Khai, they see a girl named Mai. The worst is his own adoptive aunt, who would only allow him to learn healing and not combat.

After achieving his healer licence, he heads to the big city of Taesu, still pretending to be a girl, but away from his aunt’s eyes. Khai ends up meeting Quy, another young man who looks very much alike. Under Quy’s pressuring, Khai agrees to be Quy’s body-double, ““pretend”” to be a guy, and to attend Baashi University.

A university, as it turns out, that has the administration-sanctioned tradition of compulsory fighting between the students. However, Khai has more than just one secret...

Contains: A transguy-in-the-closet who has to “pretend” to be a guy, i.e. "crossdressing” trope subversion.
