The Husky and His White Cat Shizun [二哈和他的白猫师尊] by Rou Bao Bu Chi Rou
4.0
Perception is everything.
This statement is all too true when Mo Ran - Taxian-Jun, Emperor of the cultivation world - waking up in his 15 year old self, goes through adolescence again only to realise that the Shizun he hated so much for being cold, unfeeling and merciless is in fact the exact opposite!
Suddenly, every moment of his "past" is under scrutiny, every action Chu Wanning takes is re-evaluated. Years of misunderstandings finally unravelled by a more older and discerning Mo Ran, he has to wonder - why did he never realise the first time around?
And, yet another important question: Are the sins of your future forgiven if no one but you knows what had happened?
Mo Ran spent over ten years torturing and humiliating his Shizun, and in his second chance at life, vows a life-time devoted to respecting and caring for his Shizun. Only, there is someone else too, who knows of the crimes Taxian-Jun committed. And he won't let it be forgotten.
A most beautiful and heart-wrenching story about redemption, second chances, sacrifice and a love that transcends time and asks the question - can you love someone who hates you? And can you hate someone who loves you?
There are plot twists that I did not see coming, yet when they did occur, made a surprising amount of sense. There were back stories revealed that were too overwhelmingly sad, that I wonder how *anyone* passed their childhood to emerge relatively sane.
This is one of the rare - and so far, only - story that I've read where I start off despising the MC, wanting someone to knock some sense into him, curse him throughout the narrative... and then slowly, slowly grow into liking him.
One last thing; the title does not lie, Mo Ran really is a fucking dumb dog! How dense can one human be? He raised the bar so high, I can no longer see it!
P.S. - Make sure to heed the warnings given by the translator (who is as brilliant as always) when you read it!! This is extremely important.
