Pre-orders have opened for the print versions of four baihe novels.

The first title is Who Bit My Cheese (轻尝奶酪, pinyin: qing chang nailao) (I had a bit of fun with the title translation and may have taken it too far), a contemporary romance by Yi Zhi Hua Jia Zi (一只花夹子). This looks to be an opposites-attract romance between lively, extroverted radio presenter Yan Lao and cool, reserved media CEO Xie Lingshen. This is a mainland print edition (censored, simplified Chinese). Pre-orders can be made via the following bookshops:

• Bowenxuan
  
• Kuaile
  
• Wangou
  
• Xiangxue

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

The second title is Song of the Peach Blossom (桃花曲, pinyin: taohua qu) by Ruo Hua Ci Shu (若花辞树), a historical romance between a raised-as-a-boy prince and her consort. This is from the Taiwanese publisher morefate, so is uncensored and in traditional Chinese (and has an absolutely gorgeous cover design). The web version of the novel can be read here on JJWXC.

The third title is The Mafia Boss' Pet Pianist (黑幫大姐豢養的鋼琴家, pinyin: heibang dajie huanyang de gangqinjia) by Wu Jia Xu (武佳栩), a Taiwanese baihe novel featuring a romance, as the title indicates, between a gang leader and a piano teacher/YouTuber. The print edition is by Taiwanese publisher Caiyi Books, and is uncensored and in traditional Chinese. The web version of the novel can be read here on POPO.

The fourth title is Can I Get Ghost Married to My Sister? (姐妹不能結婚, 冥婚就可以嗎?, pinyin: jiemei buneng jiehun, minghun jiu keyi ma) by Ai Mu (艾沐), another Taiwanese baihe novel. Shortly after corporate executive Ye Da goes missing, her parents receive a dream-message from her telling them that she wants to have a ghost wedding, and her (presumably adopted, since this is tagged as 'pseudo-incest') younger sister Bai Fei reluctantly agrees to be her 'bride'. The web version of the novel can currently be read here on POPO, though the author has indicated that it will be taken down after 6 June following the publication of the print and ebook editions. The print edition is also by Caiyi Books.

The last three books can be pre-ordered via Feiqin. Other proxies may be available when it comes to Song of the Peach Blossom, but I haven't seen any other ones yet that carry the Caiyi titles.
