A trailer has been released for Second Take (爱情重拍中, pinyin: aiqing chongpai zhong), an upcoming (mini?)-drama produced by the wlw dating app the L (formerly Rela). The first episode is scheduled to air on 9 July on their YouTube channel, with new episodes every Wednesday and Saturday thereafter.

This appears to be an exes-to-colleagues-to-lovers deal. Here's the trailer:


One of the main characters is played by Xing En, and an important thing to know about Xing En is that one of the top Google suggested searches for her is 'xing eng gender'.

I got this Taiwanese baihe space fantasy because I was already ordering a load of books from Taiwan anyway and thought I might as well take full advantage of having to pay the shipping fee. According to the cover copy and author's foreword, this is the first in a planned series of novels set in the same universe, and possibly involving the same characters.

In the Starsriver (月祈, pinyin: yue qi. The literal title translation is 'moon prayer'; In the Starsriver is the English title chosen by the author) is fundamentally a space fantasy f/f YA novel. The plotline is almost painfully simple: it's the story of space princess Cynthia, her space knight Leona, her space arranged marriage fiancée Flora (also a space princess, but the butch kind), and their joint coming-of-age. And there's not really a whole lot more to it than that.

very vague, almost homeopathic spoilers )

I read the print edition of the novel from Must Muster Publisher, a Taiwanese outfit that seems to specialise in lesbian literature.
