Comments
the chinese title of this list is a play on xie lian’s famous line: 身在无间，心在桃源 / the body is in the unrelenting abyss of hell, the heart in the idyll of peach blossom springs; 神 and 身 are homophones. recommendations are very welcome, even if they're not chinese novels! i would love to read an english novel with a character like this.
