Ever since Duan Tingzhou could remember, he had been dreaming the same dream over and over.
In the dream, the moon shone over the Western River like frost. A man, mad as a demon, destroyed his cultivation and cut out his bones before dying in Duan Tingzhou's arms.
Sixteen years passed beneath the snow and wind of Cold Mountain.
When Duan Tingzhou opened his eyes again, the inhuman demon from his dream had come back to life right in front of him, and taunted him with, "You're not as good as he was."
A crazed, irrational top who goes mad the moment he opens his eyes X an emotionless, seasoned scholar of the Ruthless Dao who is nothing but reason, bottom (not really...)
Theme: Stay true to yourself
