Rosmei announced preorders for three new danmei volumes: A Break in the Clouds Vol. 3, Global Examination Vol. 3, and How to Survive as a Villain Vol. 3. The preorder period for all three volumes runs from March 07, 2026 — April 06, 2026. [Source: Twitter/X (1, 2, 3), Bluesky (1, 2, 3)]
Buyers outside of Singapore will need to order through third-party vendors, as Rosmei has not purchased a global distribution license for any of the three series. Rosmei usually chooses to only purchase English-language distribution rights for the Singapore region, and they are only legally permitted to sell direct-to-buyer within Singapore for series they have acquired in this manner. This is why their books are not available for purchase at North American retailers such Barnes & Noble, Indigo/Chapters, or Amazon, and also why they are not permitted to sell many of them through their international site.
A Break in the Clouds
破云
[Synopsis Provided by Rosmei:]
In a city shrouded by secrets, the past begins to stir—like a break in the clouds.
Three years ago, a drug raid in Gongzhou went catastrophically wrong. The explosion killed the entire task force and buried the case under blood and rubble, leaving every lead incinerated, every witness dead.
Now in Jianning, Senior Sergeant Yan Xie investigates a chilling new case: a young man found frozen to death in an industrial freezer. What should’ve been routine quickly brings more questions to the surface—especially when a composed, soft-spoken man named Lu Chengjiang inserts himself into the investigation. Interactions with the mysterious Mr Lu sets off alarm bells. Something doesn’t add up. He is too calm under pressure, too precise in his insights—and far too familiar.
As Yan digs deeper, he uncovers a forgotten case file from Gongzhou.
The name on the report? Jiang Ting.
The photo? Unmistakable.
The man who supposedly died three years ago… is very much alive.
But why did he disappear? What is he hiding? And what really happened three years ago?
A gripping detective mystery about the past you can’t outrun—and the truth that won’t stay buried.

Global Examination
全球高考
[Synopsis Provided by Rosmei:]
Welcome to the exam where failing isn’t an option.
People across the world are randomly pulled into an eerie alternate world where they must survive a series of twisted, life-threatening “examinations”. Each exam is disguised as a school subject—but the questions are riddles, the logic supernatural, and the price of failure is often death.
You Huo wakes up in this bizarre world with a clouded memory, a sharp tongue, and instincts too honed for an ordinary man. Cold, clever, and uninterested in teamwork, he quickly draws attention—for better or worse.
Qin Jiu, an invigilator ranked among the system’s elite, is tasked with keeping examinees in check. But something about You Huo doesn’t fit any pattern he knows—and that makes him dangerous.
As they circle each other through high-stakes challenges and ever-deadlier puzzles, a strange connection begins to form between invigilator and examinee. But in a system designed to break the mind and erase the past, trust may be the most dangerous risk of all.
Darkly atmospheric, sharply intelligent, and laced with slow-burn tension, Global Examination is an addictive unlimited flow danmei novel where every answer could be your last.

Not on his watch.

After all, Yan is supposed to build a grand harem and rise to greatness—Xiao’s just here to support him… from a safe distance.
But as fate unfolds, nothing goes according to plan. The story still hurtles toward war, conquest, and betrayal. And Xiao finds himself tangled in misunderstandings, overly helpful courtiers, and a very conflicting relationship with the man he’s supposed to fear.
