Pre-orders opened today for the contemporary baihe novel Evening Tide (晚潮, pinyin: wanchao) by Qi Xiao Huang Shu (七小皇叔), author of the hit tomb-raiding baihe novel Reading the Remnants (问棺 , pinyin: wen guan). This is the second in her recent (also massively popular) trilogy of novels focused on the lives and loves of a group of audio drama voice actresses. The main pairing in Evening Tide consists of Xiang Wan, a newcomer to the audio drama scene who has time-travelled to the twenty-first century from imperial China (it makes a sort of sense in context), and Chao Xin, a veteran voice actress.

Pre-orders can be made on Tmall and Taobao via the following bookshops:

• Jinse
  
• Xiangxue
  
• Kuaile
  
• Bowenxuan
  
• Churong
• Boku
  
• Xinxin Xiang'ai (the publisher)

Each copy comes with the poster shown here, a cute bookmark depicting three cats on top of each other, and photocards of the two main characters (details here). As usual, each of the bookshops listed above has commissioned its own shop-specific merch, detalis of which can be seen on their respective product pages.

The web version of the novel can be read here on Changpei.
