Hi, I'm hazevi, you can call me astra/haze/hazy/vi, it's whatever.

I'd consider myself an acespec (demi) lesbian? So you know, GL/baihe is naturally interesting to me. I'm bilingual and working on baihe translations right now actually! If anybody would like recs I'm happy to give some out because I have a lot of them!

I'm also a writer as well (ah, the joys of fanfic) but I think I'm getting a little burnt out so I'm turning to reading and translation right now. Currently working on a couple modern baihe novels from Ruo Hua Ci Shu and Yi Zhan Ye Deng~

I actually don't quite remember when I started my gay awakening/getting into baihe arc but it was sometime after I realized ao3 was a thing (2020). Probably was sometime during 2021 when I first started reading Her Mountain, Her Sea (like no joke I credit this novel with most of my awakening). And then it just went downhill from there. So yeah! Really happy to have found my people and I'm more excited to work on my translations now so that you peeps can read and scream with me.

Other than baihe specifically, I play genshin/other gacha rpgs, rhythm games, and watch cdramas sometimes.

Hello, and welcome to the comm! Exciting to see someone working on translations of novels by two well-known and well-regarded authors. Please feel free to post details/updates/thoughts/questions here! If you'd like a beta reader or editor for your translations, do ask — I'm sure people here would be keen to support your work.

Thank you! Honestly seeing your work makes me hopeful that the baihe community will grow strong, healthy and diverse without mtl and I'm happy to contribute my own little bit because I truly love baihe. Will make sure to update on how the translations are coming along and continue interacting with you all~
