I just finished Iron Widow & Zachary Ying by Xiran Jay Zhao, The Empress of Salt And Fortune by Nghi Vo, and also the Mo Dao Zu Shi manhua (adapted from the Mo Xiang Tong Xiu novel).

Does anybody have any recs of more queer books set in China or even better in some settings inspired by Imperial China (this includes xianxia for instance).
