Rosmei shared multiple updates for their upcoming release of priest’s danmei novel series Drowning Sorrows in Raging Fire, including the cover designs for Vols. 2-5. They also announced they have opened a Bluesky account.
The metallic paper used for the title page will be limited to the first edition / print run. This is not the first time Rosmei has offered unique features on first-run works, as they offered similar perks on the first run of Nan Chan.
Rosmei also announced changes to the series’ translation team. Their initial announcement in October 2023 indicated that SassyStrawberry would be the only translator on the work, but two additional translators (Golden Pavilion and Yog) are now assisting.
Quoting Rosmei’s original Twitter/X post:
The project has come a long way since its initial licensing in October 2023. Our translation team now consists of Golden Pavilion, Yog, and SassyStrawberry.
After further discussion, we wish to acknowledge the individual contributions of the translation team and provide the following update to the translation credits.
Translators:
Vol 1: Golden Pavilion, Yog (Chapter 3-4)
Vol 2, 3: Yog
Vol 4, 5: SassyStrawberry
We’d also like to take this opportunity to assure our readers that maintaining consistency across volumes is a top priority for us at Rosmei. The same editorial team will oversee the entire project to ensure both quality and uniformity.
Drowning Sorrows in Raging Fire (烈火浇愁) is a danmei webnovel series written by the prolific author priest. It was originally serialized on JJWXC and ran for 147 chapters.
Rosmei does not provide summaries for any of their licensed series. The below summary is taken from DanmeiNews’ series catalogue entry:
Three thousand years ago, Sheng Lingyuan leapt into the Crimson Abyss and used his life to seal away the evil yao race. He reawakens in the modern era and makes the acquaintance of Xuan Ji, the director of a government agency that manages supernatural disaster relief. They must work together to unravel a conspiracy that threatens to doom humanity.
priest’s other works include Guardian: Zhen Hun, Stars of Chaos: Sha Po Lang, and Faraway Wanderers: Tian Ya Ke, on which the popular live-action drama Word of Honor was based.
Any buyers interested in purchasing from Rosmei must order through group order services, forwarding services, or other third-party sites. Rosmei’s distribution rights only permit them to sell inside Singapore, so these books will not be available for purchase at North American retailers like Barnes & Noble, Indigo/Chapters, or Amazon.
