Seven Seas Entertainment is thrilled to announce the license acquisition of Riverbay Road Mens’ Dormitory by author Fei Tian Ye Xiang (非天夜翔)
From the author of Legend of Exorcism and Dinghai Fusheng Records comes a new modern-day romp! One famous director rents out the rooms in his house to other gay men in hopes of writing more realistic characters for his novel. But can he get along with these very different men long enough for him to finish his story?
Synopsis: After a childhood fractured by parental discord and plagued by the death of his grandparents, Zhang Yuwen is no stranger to making lemons into lemonade. Now twenty-seven years old, the reclusive, gay, and single Zhang Yuwen has taken his lofty inheritance—including a 6-bedroom house on Riverbay Road—all the way to the bank, becoming a multimillionaire movie director and mogul. However, Zhang Yuwen still longs for one thing: to be a famous writer among the likes of Dostoevsky and Kafka. When his contacts at a prestigious publisher refuse to publish his debut novel, calling it “fake” and “contrived,” Zhang Yuwen is left reeling. Still, all is not lost. If the editor says his two-dimensional characters prove he doesn’t socialize enough, all he needs is a little more interaction with other single, gay men. Easy! He can put up an ad to rent out the rooms in his house and have the men come to him. After all, how much trouble could a handful of other single guys really be?
Riverbay Road Mens’ Dormitory (Novel) Vol. 1 will be released for the first time in the English language in April 2025 for $19.99 USA / $25.99 CAN in large-trim, illustrated paperback editions as part of the Seven Seas Danmei Label. Ebook editions will also be available on digital platforms.
