[The full novel is being carefully revised] [Next novel: "After My Beautiful Master Was Desired by a Male Ghost"]
All living beings are but passing travelers in this mortal world, like wild geese leaving fleeting tracks in snow.
Carefree playboy, bright and clever beauty bottom x gentle and refined, upright and honorable gentleman top
*
Gu Yumian, a beautiful young noble of the aristocratic clans, was cheerful and carefree. He had spent sixteen years enjoying life, never imagining that he would break the prohibition against killing on a rainy night.
That day, a sea of blood surged to the heavens. He stabbed his closest friend through the chest, tore out his innards, and left the poor man dead beyond recognition.
Gu Yumian intended to turn himself in, but the noble clans had no interest in investigating. They hastily closed the case, blaming it on a vengeful ghost that ate people.
From that day on, Gu Yumian developed a madness.
He could no longer tell reality from illusion. Night and day, demons gouged out his eyes, ripped open his belly, flayed him, and broke his bones.
Living was worse than dying, but he had to stay alive.
As for why...
*
Three years later, evil spirits ran rampant and the whole realm was in turmoil.
In the north of the Yangtze, Gu Yumian chanced upon a gentleman.
As cold rain fell, he held a jade-boned umbrella over the man.
They were strangers who had just met and barely knew each other.
Yet as the rain pattered down, Gu Yumian raised his head slightly and saw darkness and light shifting in the gentleman’s eyes.
He did not know
that the gentleman had secretly planted peonies and fallen deeply in love with him more than three years ago.
Nor did he expect
that this one meeting would bind them together through life and death, never to part until old age.
*
Burdened with a debt of blood, Gu Yumian had planned to cut himself off from love for the rest of his life. He never expected Yan Qingxu to drag him headlong back into the world of passion.
For years to come, though he would sink and rise in the sea of life and death time and again, he would never forget:
On a bright spring morning, that young man smiled as he held a flower, gathered Gu Yumian’s flowing hair, and kissed the center of his brow.
“Peach blossoms in the snow, warm spring waters. Better still, to say, ‘My heart belongs to you.’”
The Bodhisattva-like Yan Qingxu was compassionate and generous, giving freely without seeking repayment. He was revered by all.
Few knew the truth: the wolfish Yan clan was bloodthirsty by nature, and Yan Qingxu was born with an evil root as well. He followed his clan’s rules and killed without mercy. His gentlemanly nature had long since been soaked through with bloodshed.
Yet this was the man who developed worldly desires.
A fleeting glimpse on Vain Mountain.
After that, whenever the sky was clear and the moon bright, he would see Gu Yumian.
[Snow and jade, harmoniously joined]
He drank poison to ease the pain and grew thinner by the day.
When he raised his head, he was given a piece of bloodstained jade.
He knelt for a long time in the ancestral hall, swallowing his bitter blood.
When he looked up, he glimpsed a streak of snow stained with ash.
"Clear as rinsed snow" Gu Yumian x "Pure as a deep pool and flawless jade" Yan Qingxu
“A lucky star cannot calm a dead river, and a lone star of misfortune cannot stir the Great Locust Peace.”
1v1, HE, HE, HE!!!

"Third Master, the Beauty, Doesn't Want to Train His Dog"
[Powerful, gloomy man lowers his head to become a dog + twisted love + groveling redemption]
[Unknowingly flirtatious, carefree straight beauty bottom x gloomy, jealous, ruthless young master top]
1.
Xie Xiyun was handsome, wealthy, and charming, a rising star in Songzhou’s jade trade.
Few knew that before he made his fortune, he had been sickly and had picked a mute apprentice out of a pile of corpses. The little mute admired and loved him, and even promised to stay by his side for life.
Then one day, the little mute vanished without a trace.
For eight whole years, Xie Xiyun tried every means to find him, but to no avail.
After that, he gave himself over to drink and debauchery, languishing in despair. He never expected to catch a fleeting glimpse of someone in the midst of all that indulgence: it was the little mute!
Overjoyed, Xie Xiyun went to claim him as his own.
But the man said, “You shameless lunatic.”
The little mute had lost his memory.
2.
The little mute now went by Chai Jizhong, a wealthy gentleman of Songzhou, a violent and wanton young master feared for his ruthlessness.
At first sight, he coveted Xie Xiyun’s pale skin, his butterfly bones, and those bewitching fox eyes.
He had only wanted to enjoy the man’s beauty, but he never expected that...
In the summer heat, he would want to fan him.
In the rain, he would want to hold an umbrella over him.
Whenever the weather turned cold, he would wonder whether Xie Xiyun had dressed warmly enough.
When he heard that Xie Xiyun had a headache, he wanted nothing more than to make him medicine and porridge himself.
He called Xie Xiyun shameless while circling him like a dog.
He thought he was burning with desire.
So, on a sweltering, rainy night, he pressed Xie Xiyun into the soft bedding.
He said, “Give yourself to me, and I’ll obediently pretend to be your mute apprentice.”
Xie Xiyun didn’t refuse.
So Chai Jizhong bit his earlobe, kissed his fox eyes, called him “Master” with affectionate intimacy, and occasionally brought up their past.
At the height of their passion, they laced their fingers together. Chai Jizhong smiled sincerely. “Master, let’s be together for the rest of our lives, all right?”
Xie Xiyun’s eyes grew moist, and he nodded.
The next day, Chai Jizhong crossed the river and kicked away the bridge, throwing him out of the house.
Xie Xiyun stood motionless in the pouring rain, his expression impossible to make out.
4.
When Chai Jizhong met Xie Xiyun again, a gentle, refined young master was by his side.
The young master humbled himself, kneeling before Xie Xiyun. He circled one ankle with a hand and wiped the mud from his trouser leg with the other.
The moment Chai Jizhong saw it, his eyes reddened, and he pulled Xie Xiyun into his arms.
The veins in his neck stood out. His blood boiled so fiercely he could almost feel the smoke rising from him. Glaring furiously, he said:
“How many people have touched your legs? How many have laid their hands on you?! If you need someone, tell me. I’ll take care of you myself!”
He forced down the bloody taste in his throat and rasped, “Stop looking for those shifty-eyed losers. Use me for the rest of your life instead...”
“Keep treating me like that mute...”
“I can play the part well. Don’t you think I look just like him?”
“This love wasn’t deep at first. It was only a tiny bit of cinnabar tucked between the bones. But as the days passed, it grew more vivid than blood.”
· A lunatic apprentice, alone in the sea of bitter love, kneeling and begging his master to let him be a dog
· A tragic, beautiful master who meant to raise a child but accidentally tamed a vicious dog

The following content contains spoilers, please read with caution if you have not finished the book yet. Today I have finished the article, and I just want to talk about my own thoughts after reading this book and the characters in it. The first person to talk about must be Xu Mian. The life of the two young lovers can be said to be very bumpy. Yu Mian is the youngest son of the Gu family in Lijian. He has been loved by his parents since he was a child and is surrounded by close friends. Lijian is not like the other three places where he lives in the same place but is extremely alienated. Yu Mian's first ten years have been smooth sailing. Only in such a situation can he raise a happy fairy who only pursues freedom and sleeps on the mountain. But once the false incident happened, Gu Yumian killed his best friend and was trapped in a nightmare for three years. He could no longer become the wanton young master Gu he was before. And Qingxu is nothing less than Amian's salvation. I really want to praise Qingxu Baobao, he is really a very good person. From the very beginning, it is clearly stated that Qing Xu has a secret love for Yu Mian. The sour plot of the secret love was directly broken by Qing Xu's confession at the Lantern Festival. He is really a very brave and brave child. Let's talk about Qing's preface again. It is mentioned more than once in the book that one of the "Double Jade" of the four places, "Yuanqing Jade Relic", came from the Baiquan Yan family who established his career through killing. The Yan family was bloodthirsty, but Yan Qingxu, a gentle gentleman, was raised under the golden platform and bronze pillars. The family wants him to fulfill the family motto and plant seeds of hatred (although he is blocked by his fourth uncle, he is really good). It is wrong to say that he is indecisive. Three years ago, Qing Xu fell in love with Amian at first sight on Mount Xuwu. Is it not because Yu Mian's life three years ago became the way he wanted to live but couldn't? When they first got together, Yu Mian didn't have much trust in Qing Xu. On the contrary, he had a lot of temptations and doubts. In the early days, Yu Mian was not as loving as Qing Xu. It was Qing Xu who warmed his heart bit by bit and walked into his heart step by step. It's really amazing that Qing Xu can walk into a person who is half-hearted. What particularly struck me about this couple is that the young lovers have absolute trust after truly confirming their feelings. Although many things cannot be explained clearly for the sake of the family, the two people really trust each other. Especially after Qing Xu learned that Amian might be involved in Lu Qingxing's death, although he felt troubled, he still believed in him and loved him without any distractions. Moreover, both of them feel that they are not good people and are not worthy of the reputation of "Shuxue Chengming" and "Yuanqing Yuji". One thinks that he killed his best friend and is not worthy of the reputation, and the other thinks that his hands are bloody and unworthy of the reputation. But as a reader, I feel that they are not worthy and who else is worthy! Xu Mian is really a perfect match, one has unrivaled intelligence and the other has a strong sense of force. Waiting for the extra chapter, best wishes to the young couple. Compared with the main CP, this pair and I are much more cruel, mainly because Mr. Xie is half enlightened. I really like the way these two get along in the early stages, they really won't stop until they beat each other to death. While I was enjoying myself watching this pair, they suddenly hit me with a big knife. The plot of "Dead Beauty" really caught me off guard. Nianyu got drunk and mustered up the courage to confess to the person he liked, but the other party refused to accept or say anything, and humiliated him. Then Nianyu disfigured himself, and Chenwu Weiyang turned off all the lights. It was really cruel to the body and heart, and I really felt sorry for this awkward little couple. In the early stage, it's not just Chenwu's lack of enlightenment, but in the later stage, it's all thanks to Chenwu's enlightenment and good coaxing. Let's talk about the young lovers themselves. Chen Wu is really a very awkward person, he has been awkward since he was a child, but he is also a person who is easy to be soft-hearted, especially towards his relatives and friends, whether it is Yuan Hengwen who is involved in family crimes, or Chang Sui who rebels in the later period, people who seem cold-hearted are actually the ultimate friendship. Chenwu is a person who attaches great importance to repaying kindness. His mother's death made him feel that he was unworthy of his father, so he fully accepted his father's punishment. Nianyu blocked Yuan Hengwen's disaster for him, so he wanted to repay his kindness. Nian Yuzhen is a very gentle and tough person. He has considerate parents, a loving sister, and close friends. The Wenzhong family does not put a lot of pressure on him. The part where he quickly regained control of his emotions after being disfigured, and instead comforted his parents and sisters in order not to worry his relatives and friends, was really heart-wrenching. Chen Wu turned off his lamp three times before, twice to protect his memory and the last time to protect everyone who was still alive. In the ending of the main text, this couple should be Be. Nian and Yu seemed to have no idea that Chen Wu's soul was gone until the end. I wonder if the extra story will elaborate on it. The above are my personal views on the two pairs of CPs. They may not be in line with the big settings and the views of other friends. I apologize in advance and hope you can forgive me.
End of the story, "Sleep on the Mountain" is a novel that has been with me for nearly two years. This is the first time I have followed a serialized work. Every time I tied up, I eagerly waited for the update. I saved chapters one by one, and once more were added, I would tie it up again. I started chasing the novel before Dada signed the contract. I am really, really grateful to Dada for persisting. Even without signing a contract, Dada published nearly a million words in a row. What kind of perseverance is this! When I stopped writing the book in the middle, I was really worried that I would stop writing. As a student with no financial resources, I could only post more comments to support the book, to show that some people are reading and waiting. Personally, I think the overall tone of this book is sad, and there is a touch of sadness in the writing. I also particularly like the group portraits in this book. Starting from the four-person group of Cang Xunshi at the beginning, to more and more new characters appearing later, each character has its own merits. This is what is so great. It is very difficult to portray each character with different personalities and encounters and present their truest side to the readers. Now that I have read the full text, it is no exaggeration to say that whether it is the group of teenagers from the 16 tribes, the soldiers guarding one side, or even the characters in the branch lines who are burdened by the world, I like them very much, and I feel sorry for their experiences. The world is unfair, and it is not their fault. Thank you again, thank you for "Sleep on the Mountain", thank you for meeting me, see you in the next book!
This is a dead chapter 😭 😭 😭 Damn, the ending written in the copywriter is he, will it be okay? Will it be fine? 😭 😭 😭
Wow!! I haven't watched it for a long time. The teacher has finished updating 💪 💪
"For the rest of my life?" This is a big thorn in the side of the author~ Right?
Suddenly I remembered that Liu Mo hadn't used it yet 💔 😭
Is this right? Qingxu, I don't want it, it's a knife 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭
I hope that some of the undisclosed treasures and secret techniques can reverse time and space, so I can use my big move to save everyone 😭
