NEW YORK TIMES 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.
