Remnants of Filth: Yuwu (Novel) Vol. 04

ECHOES OF A SHATTERED PAST

The wildly popular danmei/Boys’ Love novel series from China set in the universe of The Husky and His White Cat Shizun!

A historical fantasy epic about two war generals who were once close… until dark circumstances ripped them apart.

Gu Mang has emerged from the Time Mirror a changed man. With his shattered memories recovered, he sets out to distance himself once more from his erstwhile lover, Mo Xi. In turn, Mo Xi finds himself powerless against a Gu Mang who is both so familiar and yet so cruel. Regardless, if the two hope to complete their mission and return to Chonghua, they must work hand in hand to escape the demon-infested island.

Meanwhile, Mo Xi’s own experience in the Time Mirror has left him more certain than ever that some secrets still linger behind Gu Mang’s treasonous defection eight years ago. He’s determined to dig up the truth at any cost—even the cost of his own life.

Noble-born Mo Xi is the foremost general of Chonghua, known for his ruthless temper and ascetic air. Once he was one of two promising young commanders, twin stars of the empire. His comrade, the lowborn Gu Mang, was Mo Xi’s brother-in-arms, best friend, and—secretly—his lover, until the day Gu Mang turned traitor and joined the ranks of their nation’s greatest enemy.

Now Gu Mang has been returned to the empire a ruined man, a shadow of the military genius he once was. The public clamors for his death, and no one yearns for vengeance more than Mo Xi. Or so he thought—for faced once more with his bitterest enemy, Mo Xi is left with more questions than answers. Why did the man he loved betray him? And what secrets hid behind Gu Mang’s tortured eyes?
