Panguan 判官, or can be translated into English as The Magistrate of the Underworld, is a very new BL novel by Mu Su Li 木蘇里 which was first published online starting from April 27, 2020, and concluded at December 28, 2020.
It is another tug-at-your-heartstrings novel but with transmigration theme at its core, so I have a feeling it is going to be a hundred-and-thousand-year-old love story, LOL… I’ve just started reading the novel a couple of days ago and the early chapters with the grandpa arc was already very emotional which I did not expect… Because it is about re-incarnation, the first few chapters can be a bit of a fog to read, but they will become clear very quickly.
There is now an audio drama podcast of the novel starting with the first season currently and two songs have been released. As with my habit now, I’m reading the novel while listening to the songs…
Falling Wind Lantern 落風燈 – Liya 奇然
Once Came a Bluebird Grasping a Twig 曾有青鳥銜枝來 – Liya 奇然 & Mile 沈謐仁
Update November 6, 2021: Finished reading the novel last week, love it! Also just found another song from the audio drama, it is the CP song for the two protagonists… Love the song!
ChenShi 塵時 – Simon Chiao 趙乾景
Chen Budao 塵不到 × Wen Shi 聞時
Update December 8, 2021: Theme song from Season 2…
With You 與君 – Lie Tian 裂天
