Riverbay Road Men’s Dormitory (Novel) Vol. 1

From Fei Tian Ye Xiang, the author of Legend of Exorcism: Tianbao Fuyao Lu and Dinghai Fusheng Records, comes a new modern-day romp!
One famous director rents out the rooms in his house to other gay men in hopes of writing more realistic characters for his novel. But can he get along with these very different men long enough for him to finish his story?
Multimillionaire movie director Zhang Yuwen has it all—fame, fortune, and a successful career. But what he really craves is to create a novel he can call true art. Passionate about this dream, he abandons the film industry to pursue writing full-time, only to hit an unexpected roadblock: his characters feel flat, lacking the authenticity he longs for.
The problem? Zhang Yuwen has spent most of his life alone and hasn’t had much real-world interaction to draw from.
As a single gay man with a luxurious villa full of empty rooms, Zhang Yuwen comes up with an unconventional solution. Why not rent those rooms out to other gay men and use them as inspiration for his novel’s characters? Enter his four new roommates: Yan Jun, a single father; Chen Hong, a fitness coach; Zheng Weize, a shy young livestreamer; and Chang Jinxing, a playboy and aspiring photographer. Each brings their own unique story and quirks, giving Zhang Yuwen the perfect opportunity to study real people up close.
But as Zhang Yuwen dives deeper into their lives, one question remains: can these very different men manage to coexist long enough for him to finish his masterpiece? Or will the chaos of living together become the real story?
