Name: Shang and Shen
Author: Meng Xishi

Synopsis

He has four unfilial disciples. Each has now made a name for himself and founded his own sect.

The awkward part is that all four struck out on their own only after he expelled them from his sect.

One day, an accident leaves him without his cultivation. With his life hanging by a thread, he ends up on the territory of his third disciple.

What should he do? Urgent, answers wanted online.

Mountains and seas can be leveled, day and night can be erased.

Only you are irreplaceable, and I cannot bear to let you go.

Younger top, happy ending.

In a nutshell: A peerless prodigy suffers a great upheaval and starts over. Though crippled, he perseveres, using his wits to overcome hardship and reform his wicked disciple.

Pairing: A bottom who used to be strict with himself and others, a stern master and father, but has now seen through worldly illusions and become open-minded and carefree, inspiring both love and hatred even in his enemies, x a split-personality top, the eldest disciple, who went from the Dao to the demonic path, is refined and otherworldly by day, and hard-hearted at night, with no distinction between good and evil.

Updates: Monday through Saturday evenings. No updates on Sunday.

Theme: Stay true to your original aspirations, and sincerity accords with Heaven.

Attaining Immortality

Keeping track of how many cultivation novels I’ve read, so I can recycle the list later. It’s hard to believe I’ve gone through so many over the past eight years. The real test is how many stood the test of time.

Good Stories

Some are written in a natural, down-to-earth style, with a little philosophy; some have a lot of unnecessary explanation; and some feel naive by today's standards. But they're all good stories once you've read them through.

Oh, You Like Serious Dramas Too?

Recommendations for serious-toned BL! There are both gong- and shou-focused stories. I'm an indiscriminate reader, so no warnings. Some are labeled lighthearted, but I think they're serious. One has no CP.
