The synopsis for Art Thou Ailing?, written by Ru Si Wo Wen is as follows:
In the empire of Great Xia, civility is a mask, courtesy a weapon—and love, perhaps, the most dangerous of all.
Chu Mingyun, Grand Commandant and master of his own ambition, rules half the capital with a fan in hand and a smirk that rarely fades. Known for his cunning, feared for his temper, and trailed by shadows both loyal and lethal, he moves through the imperial court like a chessmaster plotting his endgame.
Su Shiyu, Grand Censor and paragon of virtue, is his equal in every way—measured, refined, and maddeningly unreadable. His name alone is enough to silence a room, and his smile, courteous though it may be, conceals more than it reveals.
A minister’s suicide. A cryptic message. A rumour that shakes the court to its foundations. As secrets brew beneath silken robes and ceremonial smiles, Chu launches a quiet campaign of subterfuge… and seduction. But behind Su’s mild gaze may lie a sharper mind than anyone has dared to suspect.
Every glance is a gambit, every compliment a calculated move—and in the end, only one question remains:
Who’s playing whom?
The series was translated by Xuannie with an artwork team composed of Dong 33, EBCharlotte, Fengyue, and Wo Ji Ren Jian Xue Man Tou. Feliz designed the cover.
The synopsis for A Tale of Two Dragons, written and illustrated by Yao Yao, is as follows:
Born without an orb, His Highness the Prince of the Eastern Sea Ao Ao has spent his life mocked for his powerlessness. Determined to change his fate, he ventures into the human world in search of the fabled dragon orb, said to grant boundless strength. His search leads him to a modern-day academy built upon the pearl’s last known resting place.
Disguised as a student, Ao Ao goes on a quiet mission that takes an unexpected turn when he meets the exchange student, Reinhardt—a charming yet secretive young man who seems to know far more about Ao Ao than he should. As the two set out to uncover the orb’s whereabouts, threads of memory, fate, and something far deeper begin to intertwine between them.
In a world where dragons walk unseen among humans, one lost past may hold the key to both their destinies.
The manhwa was translated by Helliot and Angela Huang with kk designing the cover.
