about

"My darling, you will never be unloved by me. You are too well tangled in my soul, like night and light."Welcome to Nox et Lux, an NSFW non-profit MXTX zine inspired by the mysterious appeal of the night and the warmth of the day, featuring mythological and celestial elements. To us, there’s something alluring about how intertwined the sun and the moon are, like two souls taking turns to shine upon the world throughout the aeons.This project will favour both artworks and fanfictions of all three MXTX novels. We aim to have an equal distribution of all three novels, as well as contrasting night and light themes. An emphasis will be placed on portraying one character as the embodiment of light, and the other as the embodiment of darkness, and the bond that exists between them. We hope to explore the sensual nature of these contrasting yet intertwined natures through the beautiful world of mythology -- for one cannot exist without the other.Although this zine is NSFW, some SFW works will also be allowed. Additionally, the cover and all merch pieces will be SFW to allow for easier display.Got more questions? Refer to our FAQ or drop by our Google Feedback Form!

Note: If the text is too light and hard to read, please try turning off dark mode.

The caelestis

Presenting to you: The Caelestis
A group of celestials leads by your local gold foil enthusiast (aka Jin)

jin / Head & Graphic Celestial

Hello, everyone! My name is Jin, the head mod. I’m also in charge of the graphics and concept for this zine. The MXTX fandom is the first fandom I joined, so I wanted to do something creative with the MXTX works. I’m also a huge fan of all things celestial and mythology, so I’ve always wanted to do a Danmei celestial zine concept. With that being said, 2AM grinding on a Sunday works wonders and that is how Nox et Lux‘s concept was born.Anyway, I’m super excited for this zine and hope everyone will look forward to this project.Past Experience:
- Liushen Zine (Graphics, Formatting) [✓]
- Bingpup Box (Merch Artist) [✓]
- System DLC (Graphics, Formatting)
- Descension: A Genzhin Xianxia Zine (Graphic & Formatting)
- Northern Lights (Graphic, Formatting)
- More on Card...

an / Logistic & Social Media Celestial

Hey hey, I’m An and I’ll be in charge of shipping and other logistics. I love MXTX and her works will always have a special place in my heart, even as I move on to other novels. MXTX opened the gates for me to reconnect to my culture, and my mother tongue has improved dramatically ever since entering the danmei fandom. I look forward to seeing all your fantastical works (haha get it?)Past Experience:
- Liushen Zine (Shipping & Logistic)
- NightHaunt (Sensitivity Mod)
- 春之梦: A Shizun Appreciation Zine (Social Media)

kuro / Literature Celestial

Hellloooooo! I’m Kuro and I will be the writing mod for this zine. I was introduced to the world of danmei through MXTX works and they dragged me deeper into this world. Now, there is no way back. Therefore, MXTX holds a special place in my heart since it reminds me of the beginning of my long danmei journey. So, together with the rest of the team, we came up with this celestials themed NSFW MXTX zine.Excited to see all the smutty works you guys can come up with!

jade / Wealth Celestial

Hi y’all! It’s your finance mod, Jade (a.k.a. Gege). My friend introduced me to anime in 2018 and from there I got into BL manga. As I was searching for new reads, MDZS popped up and since then I just kept consuming danmei. The MXTX novels will always hold a special place in my heart despite reading many others since entering the fandom, because they were the first 3 danmei novels I’ve ever read.The bottom line is, I got into MXTX because of smut, so why not be a part of making a NSFW zine? Hope you will enjoy it as well!Past Experience:
- Bingpup Box (Finance, Shipping)
- Seasons of Love (Finance)
- Group Orders Experience

sunny / graphic apprentice

Hi guys! My name is Sunny and I'm the intern doing the graphics busy-work. MXTX's works were my introduction to Chinese novels and will always hold a special place in my heart for allowing me to appreciate a part of my culture I hadn't previously. I enjoy looking at pretty art and love reading the tragic and hilarious situations writers put my favorite characters in. I look forward to meeting all of you!I just want more men in dresses (tho I guess most of them won't be wearing... dresses... here).Past Experience:
- Rezhong Zine (Art Mod)
- MXTX Furby Zine (Intern Mod) [✓]
