psa: this only consists of books i've read, or that a trusted friend who's also chinese has read. i don't make it a habit to seek out chinese-inspired fantasy written by white authors these days, but feel free to leave any relevant titles in the comments and i'll check them out!

Fiction and non-fiction in which a main character, prominent supporting character, or narrator is canonically/confirmed to be on the asexual (ace) spectrum.

📓Canon: Confirmed by either the text or original creator. (Subtextual/implied and circumstantial characters can be found on my other ace list)

If you like magical girl media, you'll probably like these books. These books either give off magical girl vibes or are fully magical girl fiction.

Only including manga that ISN'T explicitly in the magical girl genre (since those are much easier to find)

Mostly fantasy romance but genre not limited

For when you want to watch the Chinese fantasy drama again for the first time.

The original web novel by Jiu Lu Fei Xiang, translated into English and published (finally, might I say) is included, along with Chinese fantasies that feel like xianxia or xuanhuan shows. They’re magical, melodramatic, epic stories. May include quests, immortals, demons, romance, and reincarnation.

Books that might fill the emptiness left by finishing "Pursuit of Jade". (Wǒ shā zhū yǎng ni = "I will slaughter pigs to provide for you.")
