Seven Seas provides the following volume synopsis:
CREATURE COMFORTS
Newly emerged from their mausoleum, Wang Xiaomie and Wen Fengjin settle into a life of domestic bliss, surrounded by all the comforts and conveniences of the modern world. But life among the living isn’t as peaceful as it seems. Lurking in the shadows is a secretive group known as the artisans—a community that forges magical weapons designed to hunt down and destroy supernatural creatures like them.
When the undead duo rescues a hapless young man from the brink of death, they catch the attention of a powerful artisan with a bitter grudge against their kind. Now, with betrayal, mind control, and the sudden return of an ancient ally, Wang Xiaomie and Wen Fengjin must fight to keep their love alive—and their bodies intact.
This series has seen criticism from danmei fans due to its alleged colorism, as a secondary character is a frequent target of derogatory comments specifically aimed at his dark complexion. These interactions—which persist throughout both volumes of the series and are intended as comedic—position the aforementioned character as an object of mockery. To provide examples, the main love interest is an immortal with supernaturally keen eyesight, yet is unable to see the character while in a dark room; an issue which is directly attributed to the darkness of the character’s skin. Later, the character is gifted skin whitening cream by the lead couple, which is portrayed as a thoughtful gesture.
Danmei fans have frequently voiced their disapproval of the book’s alleged colorism in replies to Seven Seas’ social media posts promoting the series, and some have stated they will not be purchasing the series on these grounds. Seven Seas has not publicly addressed the matter on its official channels.
My Husband and I Sleep in a Coffin Vol. 2 is scheduled for release on December 30, 2025. Preorders are available from several major retailers:

Seven Seas has provided the following series summary:
A cozy coffin for two becomes one recluse’s reality when he wakes up in the frigid body of a thousand-year-old corpse! Can he find his footing in this new body? Even then, can he survive the passionate doting of his handsome—and quite unhinged—coffinmate?
Reclusive gay virgin Wang Xiaomie has just awakened inside the body of a thousand-year-old corpse dressed in ornate wedding finery. Stranger yet, he finds himself sharing a coffin with immortal warrior Wen Fengjin, who has spent the last millennia patiently waiting for his dead lover to return.
Constantly hungry with nothing to eat and only a magic peach blossom tree to keep his heart pumping, Wang Xiaomie must now navigate being trapped in an ornate mausoleum, undead, all while dodging pesky grave robbers. To make matters worse, he must also keep a lid on his growing attraction to this hot–albeit completely unhinged–immortal who will do anything, even kill, to keep his beloved safe.
Hijinks ensue in this twisted yandere tale filled with mistaken identities, dastardly plots, grave robbers, and more!
