Singapore publisher Rosmei launched preorders for a second round of merchandise from the danmei novel Qiang Jin Jiu; also known to English speakers as Ballad of Sword and Wine. The products on offer include a PVC card, a paper card, an acrylic quicksand plate, an acrylic pendant, a shikishi, and a badge, all featuring the series’ main couple cezhou (the ship name for Xiao Chiye and Shen Zechuan). The preorder period will last from December 24, 2024 to January 20, 2025.
Rosmei also shared the full images featured on the merchandise in two posts [1, 2].
The first round of merchandise was available for preorder in June 2024. Just as the process goes with their novels, all interested buyers outside of Singapore must use group order services, forwarding services, or other third-party sites to make and ship their purchases. Rosmei’s distribution rights only permit them to sell inside Singapore.
Ballad of Sword and Wine: Qiang Jin Jiu (将进酒) was originally serialized by Tang Jiu Qing on jjwxc in 2018. It ran for 282 chapters, with additional extras that weren’t published on the jjwxc platform. An English localization of the novel was announced by Seven Seas Entertainment on September 14, 2023. Rosmei will be releasing an English translation of one of Tang Jiu Qing’s other novels, Nan Chan.
