The Husky and His White Cat Shizun

Description

Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.

Mo Ran thought becoming Chu Wanning’s disciple was a mistake.

His shizun was really too much like a cat while he himself was a dumb pup who’d only slobber and wag his tail.

Dogs and cats were different by nature; originally, the dumb pup didn’t want to reach his furry paws out to that cat.

At first he thought, dogs should be with dogs, like his shixiong, beautiful and tame like a cute Japanese Spitz, and the two of them together would surely be a match made in heaven.

Yet, after having died and reborn, after having lived two lives, the one he hauled back each time to his den in the end was always the one he couldn’t stand at first: that snow-white kitty shizun.

I needed more after MXTX and this was IT. But it will slice you in half (and more, maybe) as it hurtles toward the conclusion. Reader beware! Compulsion and obsession and so much raw emotion await ye!

A light tragedy with a solid ending. Everyone tortures each other, especially the protagonists. The novel leads like a cliche, but eventually reveals... not all is as it seems. There are hints scattered throught if you read closely enough. I guessed wrongly~!

This gives an air of mystery to the novel that really impressed me. It helps that most of the characters are well fleshed out with believable motivations. Totally worth a read. Your emotions will go up and down, but not to the point of being abused. The story was... more>> a great journey of taboo magics, practices, and love. <<less

Be warned that this novel is angsty af. There's a lot of death in the last one quarter and I felt so sad after reading it...

I loved the main couple's dynamic. They're so cute and I just wish we could have slice of life forever! I can't get enough of Cwn and Moran but unfortunately we don't get enough of them being happily in love in the novel. Also Moran is thirsty af all the time.

The character growth arc is this novel's strongest point. Moran's slowburn growing feelings for Cwn... more>> and the changes in his attitude and understanding are such a pleasure to read. They feel so natural and organic.

I read this in the original Chinese and I didn't totally like her writing style. Also, I felt that the last one quarter was a little too ambitious. <<less

I absolutely love this novel. I laughed, died from embarrassment and cried my eyes out to this beautiful masterpiece. I felt like all the random pieces of information were perfect foreshadowing for later events. I picked up on them since I've read so many novels on here thinking "Oh that random bit of information seems odd, might be important later".

Over all, the MC really is a dumb, lovable husky and ML really is an aloof white cat Shizun!

My favourite part was when Mo Ran cried his eyes out and realised his Shizun secretly made him wontons. 😭

I honestly did not expect this novel to be excruciatingly good. I have heard that this novel had too much angst and some bad elements unique to yaoi.

But the plot is good. The first four arcs like caidie, jinchengchi, bird ppl arc and the visit to he'll arc had great narrative and character development. The Moran of the current life is a beautiful and loving soul and the budding romance between him and chufei while he attempts to right all his wrong doings and starting again were absolutely endearing. All... more>> the little changes makes you appreciate him more. This is definitely needed because the appearance of taxian will immediately spur hatred in the hearts of readers. His actions are unpardonable. I love danmei but I hate coercion and non consent. This is not a light matter but I think the author took it too far. Because of the hatred that runs deep for taxian Jun, the plot and the sweetest version of Moran are lost in translation.

The novel is very good for most of the time but the constant switch between the memories of previous and current lives of Moran gave me a headache. I had to reread some chapters again just to understand what the heck was going on. Also 80% of these memories were non consent r%₹e which was extremely unsettling. If only the flashback weren't mind numbing and cheap.

When we weren't accosted by the pe*verted flashbacks, the author rained the plot with sadness so much that I even sympathized with the villain. Between Morans back story or chu wanning back story I can't say which is brutally hurting than the other. Even hua binan background makes you wonder if he deserved his misfortune. This novel gives is hard take on the cruelty in the society and how ppl are narrow minded people manipulate Justice to fulfil their greed and hatred. Moran life was so sad, the society failed him miserably, Justice was lost and all he was left with the misery of losing his mother, falsely accused beaten and falling in to poverty. The ppl around him are fickle and heart less but Moran is expected to have a pure heart and not take revenge on those who wronged him. His redemption arc is heart wrenching. Moran is a green flag because when he was reborn he realized that he would rather have a weapon like tianwen to protect the weak than become a despot and lose himself in the name of power. He is a selfless guy who would go to any lengths to protect someone who even as much as smiles at him. After everything he

sacrificed himself for wanning by taking the eight bitter heart flower

[collapse]
hadn't it been for this, would Moran of the previous life turned out to be as sweet, selfless and generous like MO zongshi? When the zhenlong chess arc at Jiao mountain arc began, I felt that the pace of the story cannon balled into mediocrity.
Spoiler

so moran is a nangong?. Cant the main character not have special parents for once

[collapse]

Also this was around the same time, the memories started to get redundant and annoying. We could have done without these. Some memories added to the plot while others were just p*rno.

i get it that chu wanning is a powerful shou and is one of the few of the capable persons in the entire novel, but did his real identity started to make this already somewhat unbearable story more ridiculous.

Towards the final arc I got restless because taxian Jun started to annoy me more. The dude refused to see reason and did not deserve shizun at all. There were some powerful ppl including a very powerful and an almost God like
Spoiler

plant deity

[collapse]
but everyone were scurrying like c*ckroaches at the sight of zombies and chess pieces. The tianyin pavilion punishment arc was heartbreaking but I can't understand why Moran suddenly became penitent while the person he loved was missing.

The final arc was action packed and fast paced. This author has an uncanny ability to make every little scene gloomy than before. I think I was able to put up with all the crazy plot twists the author threw at me
Spoiler

whether it was shimeis betrayal or his redemption but I still wanna know why did the author hate the xue family so much. Did xue meng deserve such a low blow? Xue zhengyong deserved better. He was a wonderful man. Towards the end I just gave up because the author put icing on the cake. Moran is like a butterfly boned beauty and can just comeback to life just like that? And taxianjun can visit Moran consciousness every 3 days? I was totally done with this

[collapse]

All said and done this was a good novel. It was a good roller-coaster ride of emotions. Taxian Jun never leaves a good taste but Moran makes is worthwhile to read this novel. I only wished it had a bittersweet ending instead. I don't regret reading this though 😊 <<less

I hate the gong much especially on how much tr*shy he was to his shinzun in his past life and he has no regrets of it until he got to know the truth also he literally has a complex victim mentality all the time , and even though he had suffered alot in the redemption arc, but his shinzun suffered more like alot.I still don't even understand why chu wanning would do such sacrifices for his loser students spart from xu meng and even forgives him for the sh*t he... more>> did, to be fair I think shin mei would be a better match for shinzun than moran ever could dream of, like the only difference between him and moran is that moran is the main character so his gets his redemption and happy ending if anything moran did worse things than shin mei in his past life so I don't get why ppl hate shin mei so much lol, if shin mei was the main character and redemption same PPL will defend him as well lol, to be fair shinzun deserves better than these two psychos but if I had to choose between the two shin mei is still better. Like PPL forget the first half of the novel just because moran changed like ??? Dude needed a reason not to be selfish and cruel he was never a good person to begin with he needed a reason to know how raping his shinzun was bad like ??? I just like to to imagine the series ended when
Spoiler

moran died lol ngl, it would've been better that way the story degraded after it

[collapse]

But wait but if u like spicy novels with excess angst u will definitely like it, it also comes with the trope of play boy or himbo with virg*n mary who is too pure for this world but is to much of an introvert to talk and has low self esteem that a lot of PPL like. But absolutely overrated in my opinion, there are actual beautifully written but underrated novels out there that deserves better and if u were in for a good story and doesn't like violence, r*pe etc this definitely ain't for u, this just feels like Wattpad 18+ angst novel were no matter how scum the ML they have a happily ever after lol <<less

Aaaaaa *crying sobbing throwing up*

As a sad*st looking for angst I approve 👍

Lets talk a bit more about stuff other people be discussing:

... more>> Redemption: mo ran suffered constantly on screen off screen since ch 100 to almost the end

Author gave a very proper plot wise logical excuse for his dog behaviour.

+ Multiple deaths

Ok let's talk about the amazing plot:

Several arcs bound by small mysteries that seamlessly weave into plot twists and revelations of behind the curtain villains, amazing af

But that's not all— there's a bigger villain controlling the puppets through two lifetimes— even more amazing.

They have their own sob story- which, however much I vowed to not forgive them, I still cried in heartache for them.

This story has too many people with regrets- too many who would wish to have another chance at life like Mo Ran did.

Side characters: 10/10

Plot and pain: 20/10

Ok only one problem I have: BEING BLUEBALLED THE WHOLE NOVEL OMG

I don't have balls but maaaannnnnnn I sweaaarrr urghhhhh these two would stare at each other- have the best time imagining s*x and then do NOTHING. Oh god. I was so frustrated 😭😭 just- f*ck. Please. All these tags and I didn't get a s*x scene till the extras- and that was vanilla as hell. I wanna gut the author so bad. Sometimes I couldn't even pay attention to the plot because the s*xual tension was so high I just wished they would do it man <<less

So when everyone always talking about how tormenting and how painful Meatbun’s ERHA is,
I want to share something – something like a fresh dewdrop in our misty morning...
So, why do people like ERHA?
For me, it was that 1825 pieces of paper... That Dazzling Fireworks in the sky saying -

“Disciple Mo Ran,

Congratulate master for coming out of seclusion.”

How romantic a gift can be... ?
I can read this book over and over again just for that... more>> 1825 pages letter...

Spoiler

“The words were squeezed into a small ball and were passionately flowing on the paper,
wishing that Chu Wanning could see the Thorn Flower in the northern part of Mo Bei, the misty mountain, and hide the dessert in the paper, waiting for Chu Wanning to wake up and share it with him.
The lines of small characters did not stop from beginning to end. There were no provocative words, nor did they write anything sad. They only recorded every brilliant moment in the past five years, and he only shared what was good with him.”

[collapse]

and

Spoiler

“He saw Mo Ran in the handwriting, which went from childish to tall and straight, and from tall and straight to handsome and elegant.”
“From the first letter to the last, he seemed to see Mo Ran walk from sixteen to twenty-two years old. His figure slowly grew, and his expression gradually became deeper.”
But every day, he would sit in front of his desk and write a letter to him.”

[collapse]

Is there anything else that I need to keep going reading this so-called pathetic novel?
For me... It was not really a trauma,
rather it was a long journey with a lonely trapped man. <<less

this was my second novel ever after reading tgcf. I've seen people either love it or hate 2ha. I personally enjoyed the novel very much, more than i’d like to admit. My favourite part of the novel was definitely from chapter 98-210. It was full of fluff and cute romance stuff going on with chu wanning and mo ran which I loved a lot and would definitely re-read it every once in awhile. However after that it’s just non stop angst and plot twist until the very end, which isn’t... more>> a bad thing at all but can be tiring. I’m happy meatbun managed to give us a happy ending. Also the extra chapters were amazing!! It was definitely refreshing after all that heartbreak and angst.

overall great novel, I would recommend. <<less

2ha is one of those hate it or love it novels. I loved it, because I'm a great fan of angsty stories, non-linear storytelling and master/disciple romance. Just check out the trigger warnings before reading: there's a lot of death and s*x, among a variety of other crazy themes. 2ha is nonetheless a riveting tale of forbidden love and shifting identities cocooned in an intricate narrative with mixed timelines. But its greatest strength lies in its characters and their unraveling.

I will bring up the series as a whole, so spoilers... more>> alert.

The protagonist, Mo Ran, is a rabid dog. He's sarcastic, surly and very unlikable, and that's fine with me. Saying that since his life was tragic, it's okay for him to be an a**hole, would destroy his character in my opinion. I love Mo Ran precisely because of how painfully human he is. He loves too hard and cares to much, he's easily deceived by appearances and utterly broken when he realizes the reality was quite different. He's only redeemed by a kind of miracle, and this miracle's name is Chu Wanning. God, I love that character who embodies everything that's beautiful and poetic. He was carved out of wood from a divine tree, his name means "evening peace" and his holy weapons are named after the works of famous Chinese poets. He uses a willow vine as a golden whip and that's freaking hot when he punishes Mo Ran with it! He can't ignore others' misfortunes, he's weak to affection and kicks ass all the time. Chu Wanning is my favorite character of the book, one of my favorite of all. The revelation that he was protecting his disciple all along will shock no one. As Mo Ran gradually realizes that Shi Mei ingénue persona was an elaborate act and that he was heading for darkness rather than light, he also realizes that only Chu Wanning was preventing him from being swallowed up by the ultimate black. While the constant reversal of innocence and evil throughout the story doesn't leave room for nuance, the story is crazy good and intense. Things happen, terrible, heartbreaking and occasionally demented things. 2ha is a story that goes beyond redemption and forgiveness to embrace the destructive effects of passion, and that's why I love the series. In fact, I wish Meatbun would have been bold enough to leave out the twist with the flower of long hatred, but I do love the way she wove the vegetal imagery throughout the story. I'm a big sucker for floral symbolism and Chu Wanning is some kind of Daphne in my head canon.

The only gripe I have with 2ha is that it's just too damn long and plain slow. I love Meatbun unreservedly, but I think a couple hundred pages could have been cut out. Not the explicit parts, though. Meatbun's s*x scenes are pulse-racing, super cruel and seriously grotesque at times. There's just something exhilarating about reading a book so unapologetically p*rnographic considering the actual censorship in China. <<less

Keeping this short: I’ve read past chapter 43 (where book 1 ends) for the web translation, but am rereading the official English translation of book 1. So far it’s really good, there’s not a lot of world building info dump. The prologue is actually one of the best ones I read in a while, and really pulls you in. The mission stories (when they roam out of the sect) are actually really interesting and I feel like is what’s moving the story forward (there are two in book 1 iirc).

You... more>> can think of Mo Ran as a f*ckboy who can be super compassionate when it comes to those he genuinely cares about. He’s chaotic and a bit vulgar, which is new to me when it comes to MCs and I kinda like it.

One thing I highly recommend is to not read anything new about the characters or spoilers if you want a genuine experience. Because I feel like that has... Somewhat ruined it for me, I’m finding it hard to read.

(My vague spoiler reason) :

Spoiler

MR flips a lot on his emotions for CWN, and I honestly feel like I would have been more empathetic had I not read how CWN actually is, or what and why he did things.

But because I already do, it’s why it’s so frustrating to read how MR treats CWN.

This was beautiful and sad, happy yet had you thinking about what makes one good and what counts as evil, the romance was not built for the plot neither was the plot dependant on the romance, they were both interwined and made the building of the story. I won't lie this was kind of slow burn I was so mad at Mo Ran some time for not noticing what was right in front of him. The characters were so tragic yet so beautiful, Chu Wanting was so relatable and heartbreaking,... more>> the MC as well as the ML had a lot written about each of them, without having neither hanging. I really like poetry so I might be a bit bias towards the author for this because her use of poetic undertones and device was very appreciated by this reader lol.

Most novel has a way of making villains who plans intricately and are quite intelligent into dumb people fighting for meaningless goals, but this books has you falling in hate, pity, and love with them as well as empathizing to a certain extent with them. The world building was very interesting as well, there are lots of characters and this can be unnerving at times but once you get invested it doesn't give any issues at all, the romance was really really beautiful and interesting
Spoiler

Mo Ran and wanning hidden romance in the sect ground was so funny and beautiful.

This story has made me want to slap mo ran in practically every single chapter. It gets overwhelming at points, but I really like this novel. Even tho mo ran is our main character I still hope he carries enough guilt to wholeheartedly love his shizun and not simply because all he wants to do is repay him. I haven’t finished it but holy sh*t it still breaks me to this day

I would rate this as a 3.5. It has such a huge cult following and I very much enjoy this genre so I had high expectations but it did not meet them. The ending just did not seem satisfying. And if I were to compare it to a roller-coaster ride, I think the roller-coaster flew off the track in the second half of the novel. I felt very concerned and not at peace. However, this is a well-written story and worth a try, it did not fit my preferences but... more>> maybe it will fit yours. <<less

So I feel like everyone has said essentially everything that needs to be said about Erha, but I am still reeling after finishing this whopping novel a week ago and I just want to talk about it, ok? I want to think about it, talk about it, read about it, completely and utterly lose myself in it over and over again. 🤣 First of all, I want to talk to those people who read a few chapters and, being completely repulsed by the unsympathetic main charatcer and main love interest that... more>> can't possibly be redeemable by any stretch in this lifetime or the next, put it down. I was also one of you. My advice is to keep reading.

Erha stands above all the rest not because the romance is really great or the angst and pining is in a league of its own (by the way, both are universal truths, to be honest) but because it transcends the barriers of a smutty story and actually tells a very human and compelling story of redemption, power, and love in a bigger than human world. A story that examines human nature and what makes a person evil, what drives a person to commit heinous crimes. A story that questions morality and juxtaposes it to popular opinion (in a similar way to MDZS/Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation). Meatbun doesn't shy away from the gritty, harsh realities of hatred and the sad outcome of the world constantly shitting on you.

Despite the fact that Mo Ran starts off vile and detestable, he really has a change of heart. He comes back to his 15 year old self with a determination to be a better person. And he's really not. Changing takes time, and this is over 300 chapters. I don't know if this is characteristic of Meatbun's style, but she really takes her time on working on Mo Ran's character development. That's not to say he's hard to swallow the whole time. Give him 5-10 chapters, and you will find him worth reading about. Chu Wanning took a little while longer for me but when it hit, there was no going back.

I think Mo Ran and Chu Wanning have quite literally ruined all future romance for me. Their romance is painful and difficult, often times harsh and unforgiving, but it's so profound. There's love, sacrifice, passion, forgiveness, mercy, and compassion. They are the very definition of soul mates.

There are a lot of misunderstandings, that's a huge thing in danmeis, I'm noticing, so it shouldn't come as any surprise here. It is the basis for a lot of misery and a lot of plot, but it's all worth it in the end, I swear.

I could really talk about the plot and characterization, the rich world Meatbun creates, the richness of the s*x scenes (plenty of them, too), and literally everything else, but Chu Wanning and Mo Ran's devotion to one another is literally the ONLY reason needed to read this. The other stuff is great, but their relationship superscedes it all. The best part is that the whole second book is practically all about their relationship. And then it culminates into exciting plot, but a good 100 chapters of the whole novel are just scenes of them being together, working through their feelings without much heavy plot.

Anyway, enjoy! It's worth all the pain and disgust and impatience, I swear. Also, at about Chapter 280, I thought to myself, why did everyone say they cried? It's angsty and sad but not cry-worthy. And then I sobbed for the remaining 30+ chapters. It has a better than you dare hope for ending, but I felt that it ended quickly. I would have liked more of a longer epilogue of established happiness, but I guess that's what the extras are for? <<less

4.5/5 but because of how much I think about it, it's a 5

I think this is one of the most controversial stories but if you can get past the triggers (and there are many including su*cide, non-consent, r*pe, vore (like awful cannibalism) and a whole slew of others), this is definitely a story that haunts you in the best way possible. After I completed this, I craved for more content and searched for all the fanart and fanfiction I could because the characters are very versatile and I wanted to... more>> see them in a different (happier) setting.

Summary: Mo Ran (MC, gong) was the tyrant emperor (known as Taxian-jun) and after getting bored of life, decides to commit su*cide. However, he wakes up in his 15 year old body and lives per usual but for some reason events don't happen the way they did the first time. As a result, he discovers secrets from his first life and tries to find the hidden enemy who is changing fate. In all this, after reincarnating he meets his shizun (Chu Wanning, ML, shou) once again, the one who died in his first life whom he hated. But he never quite hated him and after discovering things, he decides to change. Basically he reforms himself and decides that this time he's gonna love his shizun!

On the MC:

Spoiler

He honestly starts off as a bit of an a*shole. Seriously. As an audience we see how little he cares about the people around him at first, but we soon discover that he feels quite a lot for his shizun, both love and hate. And the entire story is spent discovering why he is like this (i.e. His tragic backstory and also the actions of someone else)

He actually goes through different phases which the author refers to as 0.5, 1.0 and 2.0. I think most people don't like 0.5 very much though after you learn the truth of everything, they are all endearing.

[collapse]

Regarding Chu Wanning:

Spoiler

He has actually always loved the MC but never was able to express it due to his responsibility as his teacher. Moreover he always thought that the MC hated him and is incredibly self-deprecating.

The craziest thing is learning his backstory. It's a little mind blowing and you really have to suspend your belief (and I have read a lot of stories, but this was really out there)

[collapse]

The reason why I would give this a 4.5 is because the plot is very fantastical and at times convoluted. The author takes things to the absolute extreme to make it painful for all the characters. And as a result things hurt (this story is just knives galore at times) but also when she gets to the things that make it happy, it's almost unbelievable. My best advice would be just to go with it even if it doesn't make sense because it's worth it.

Spoiler

My other complaint is that the MC is actually perfect in all this. I am someone who likes to explore the gray in novels and while the author touches on it a little, I think that in the end most people would say that the MC is not at fault for the things he has done (and I reiterate that it was a lot). Maybe some people like this sort of thing, but I just wanted to point it out.

[collapse]

As mentioned earlier, I think the author is truly gifted at writing side characters. I am particularly fond of Xue Meng, Mei Hanxue, Ye Wangxi, Nangong Si, and Xue Zhengyong. They are humorous and add depth to the story. To be honest, the author actually spoils things in her author's notes, so there are not many plot twists in that regard but it's the journey that is worth reading. Oh, and the author is hilarious! Mo Ran's ability to name things is absolutely peak comedy (I mean—just look at the chapter titles!) At the very least you should laugh a little what goes on. I wish I could read Chinese so I could get the full effect of the witty jokes and puns, but the translators did an excellent job at explaining in the footnotes and it's funny regardless.

So in summary, this story has a ton of triggers and can get a little crazy, but it's truly very romantic. This is a love story that crosses two lifetimes and I couldn't stop thinking about it. If you can, you should definitely read it and form your own opinion! <<less

Love this work! It's not everyone's cup of tea, so read the tags and reviews and make the decision for yourself. Personally I love the characters and world building done by the author.

It has everything I love in a cultivation novel along with all that angst. Be ready for buckets of tears and the twist and turns of the protagonist. The ML may appear problematic at times which he is but don't jump to conclusions just yet cause there definitely will be answers.
