About the book

A NEW YORK TIMES and USA TODAY BEST SELLER! Also known as 2ha, the wildly popular danmei/Boys' Love novel series from China that inspired a multimedia franchise! A historical fantasy epic about a tyrant’s second chance at life and the powerful cultivation teacher he can't get out of his mind.

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.

    A dark but well-rounded story. (READ the trigger warnings before starting the series and getting triggered/offended and start complaining)

    The book gripped me from page one and I finished it in three sittings. I honestly didn't know whether to laugh or cry, a rollercoaster of emotions that is clearly visible in my annotations. Meatbun has an incredibly refreshing and engaging style of writing. The "b"uns (heh, get it?) were absolutely delightful. Within a few chapters I was irrevocably in love with the characters; complex and human. Mo Ran is an interesting protagonist. He made me laugh and warmed my heart; I sympathized with him while also being disgusted by his cruelty and viciousness displayed in the flashbacks and some of his actions and thoughts. I'm curious to see his character development and more flashbacks over the next few volumes. The same goes for Chu Wanning. I want to grab him by the shoulders and shake him aggressively and hug him at the same time. The characters' relationships grew on me and I got thoroughly invested while reading. I was pulling my hair out at the revision of Chu Wanning's and Mo Ran's first meeting and especially their relationship was intriguing. How did they end up this way in Mo Ran's past life? What happened to make the both of them developed into the people they are? How more tragic can they become? The final arc felt a bit confusing and rushed due to the rather quick sequences and plot twists, but overall vol. 1 was a nice and exciting kick-off for the long series.
