Seven Seas has provided the following summary for Volume 2:
STROKE OF LUCK
Joining the Peng Society has really turned Wu Xingzi’s life on its head! His new lifestyle hasn’t just earned him a thrilling collection of phallic illustrations, but also a whirlwind affair with maverick Guan Shanjin, a handsome young general who’s relentless both on the battlefield and in the bedroom. When Guan Shanjin whisks him away from the lonely backwater province he’s called home, Wu Xingzi braces himself for a wild ride.
However, Guan Shanjin seems preoccupied with an old flame, and Wu Xingzi has no intention of overstaying his welcome. After all, an unremarkable middle-aged clerk like him has nothing more to offer Guan Shanjin than a passing fling… Right?
You’ve Got Mail: The Perils of Pigeon Post Vol. 2 will be released on November 26, 2024, and is available for preorder.
