The Husky and His White Cat Shizun: Erha He Ta De Bai Mao Shizun (Novel) Vol. 8

In the aftermath of the censer’s spell, Mo Ran awakens on Dragonblood Mountain beside a slumbering Chu Wanning, everything between them forever changed. Yet before he can explain himself, Hua Binan - the mastermind behind their plight - arrives on the scene and kidnaps Chu Wanning, leaving Mo Ran utterly alone. Down the mountain, a man with Mo Ran’s face has been committing heinous crimes, and the cultivation world clamours for blood.

Helpless to rescue Chu Wanning and fearful of the consequences for Sisheng Peak, Mo Ran returns to face the justice of Tianyin Pavilion and the darkness of his buried past. Meanwhile, trapped in Hua Binan’s grasp, Chu Wanning is haunted by dreams of his past life - the life he shared with Taxian-jun. What he discovers in them stands to change everything he thought he knew about Mo Ran’s bloody path to becoming the cruel tyrant he once was.

Cruel tyrant Taxian-jun killed his way to the throne and now reigns as the first ever emperor of the mortal realm. Yet somehow, he is unsatisfied. Left cold and bereft, abandoned by all he held dear, he takes his own life…only to be reborn anew.

Awakening in the body of his younger self - Mo Ran, a disciple of the cultivation sect Sisheng Peak - he discovers the chance to relive his life. This time, he vows to attain the gratification that once eluded him: all who defied him will fall, and never again will they treat him like a dog. His greatest fury is reserved for Chu Wanning, the coldly beautiful and aloofly catlike cultivation teacher who betrayed and thwarted Mo Ran time and again in their last life.

Yet as Mo Ran shamelessly pursues his own goals in this life he thought lost, he begins to wonder if there might be more to his teacher - and his own feelings - than he ever realized. This Chinese fantasy (xianxia) epic built around the desire between two men (danmei) has been translated into multiple languages and inspired a multimedia franchise in China. The Seven Seas English-language edition will include exclusive, all-new covers and interior illustrations from artist St with a translation by Rynn & Jun.
