I’m not sure if you would want it to have fantasy, but these violent delights by Chloe Gong is good!

I would recommend These Violent Delights by Chloe Gong. It is technically categorized as fantasy, but it takes place in 1920s Shanghai and the location and time period is very prominent to the story

It’s a little bit more of a ‘classic’ type, but The Samurai’s Garden by Gail Tsukiyama is one I’ve always had on my list. Here’s a list description for it:

Set in the 1930’s

A 20-year-old Chinese painter named Stephen is sent to his family's summer home in a Japanese coastal village to recover from a bout with tuberculosis. Here he is cared for by Matsu, a reticent housekeeper and a master gardener. Over the course of a remarkable year, Stephen learns Matsu's secret and gains not only physical strength, but also profound spiritual insight.

Matsu is a samurai of the soul, a man devoted to doing good and finding beauty in a cruel and arbitrary world, and Stephen is a noble student, learning to appreciate Matsu's generous and nurturing way of life and to love Matsu's soulmate, gentle Sachi, a woman afflicted with leprosy

So this book doesn't exactly take place in Asia but the history concerning it is in Asia so Is that counted? Anyway the book is Aru Shah and the End of Time
It is based on Indian history/Mythology so its in asia

Unfortunately, since this doesn't take place in Asia, it does not meet the guidelines of our BoTM. It sounds really good, though!
