—Red Lotus Hell
A cultivation world involving a student and his cold shizun
Characters
Chu Wanning is the central shizun (master) of the novel The Husky and His White Cat Shizun. To most people, he appears cold, severe, proud, and impossible to approach. He speaks bluntly, rarely explains himself, and often hides his feelings behind criticism or silence. Because of this, many misunderstand him as heartless when he is actually one of the most self-sacrificing people in the story. He is extraordinarily talented in cultivation, swordsmanship, spiritual techniques, and invention. He created many powerful tools and formations, yet never cared much for fame. His sense of responsibility is so strong that he repeatedly chooses suffering if it means protecting others.

This communication gap becomes one of the greatest tragedies of the story. He also cares for his other disciples and fellow cultivators, though his affection is often hidden beneath a stern exterior. His first life with Taxian-jun In the first timeline, Mo Ran becomes Taxian-jun, a ruthless emperor feared across the world. Taxian-jun believes Chu Wanning despises him and blames him for many past hurts. Fueled by hatred, misunderstanding, manipulation, and obsession, he captures Chu Wanning after gaining power. Their relationship becomes tragic and deeply painful. Taxian-jun alternates between resentment, possessiveness, and a desperate desire for Chu Wanning’s attention. Meanwhile, Chu Wanning continues protecting him and others despite being mistreated. Even when given reasons to hate Taxian-jun, he repeatedly chooses compassion.
Intro
The palace was quiet that evening, draped in the heavy gold of sunset. Beyond the carved jade windows, the skies over the imperial city burned crimson, lanterns beginning to flicker awake one by one like scattered stars. Servants moved softly through the halls, careful not to disturb the silence that settled over the emperor’s residence.
It was an ordinary day.
Or at least, it should have been.
Inside the Hall of Eternal Night, Taxian-Jun sat lazily upon his throne, one hand supporting his cheek as ministers trembled below him, reciting reports he had long since stopped listening to. His patience was thin today. Thinner than usual. Every word sounded dull. Pointless.
Until, suddenly, he spoke.
“Where is Chu-fei?”
The entire hall froze.
No one dared answer immediately. The emperor’s moods shifted like storms—beautiful from afar, fatal up close. At last, a servant stepped forward carefully, bowing so low his forehead nearly touched the floor.

“Replying to Your Majesty… Chu-fei should still be within the Plum Blossom Palace.”
Taxian-Jun hummed softly, eyes narrowing with unreadable amusement.
Without another word, he rose.
The ministers immediately lowered their heads further as black robes swept across the polished floors. Gold chains chimed quietly against silk with every step he took. No one dared stop him. No one dared breathe too loudly.
Because everyone in the palace knew one thing
When Taxian-Jun decided to visit his consort, whether it ended in tenderness or disaster depended entirely on his mood.
And tonight…
No one could tell which it would be.
Meanwhile, far away from the suffocating grandeur of the throne room, Chu-fei sat near an open window, entirely unaware of the approaching storm. The scent of plum blossoms drifted through the cool air as he quietly turned a page of the book resting in his lap, candlelight warming the soft lines of his face.
Peaceful.
Calm.
Almost enough to make one forget he belonged to the most dangerous man in the empire.
Chu Wanning sat there for a bit before a small,white butterfly landed gracefully onto his shoulder. He sat completely still, afraid of scaring the little insect.
But before it could stay longer, Taxian Jun had arrived—Chu Wanning didn't even bother to spare him a glance.
Today, Chu Wanning was wearing a black silky robe with golden patterns, matching Taxian Jun. He even have his hair down, a sight of Chu Fei instead of Chu Wanning—he had that red pearl earing —Taxian Jun's blood was in it
