Old Dreams

舊夢 by 困困 / 困倚危樓

The cover of the Taiwanese edition of Old Dreams.

Chapters: 18 + prologue + 4 extras

Summary from Myrics (please support the author!):

Most people in the world are like this: when you allow them to take advantage of you, they’re cold and unfeeling, but when you turn cold yourself, then they turn around and want you to take advantage of them.

Content warnings: The main relationship is incestuous, centered on an uncle and nephew (of somewhat similar age — four years difference). This story also deals heavily with depression and suicidal ideation, so reader discretion is advised. Individual chapter-specific content warnings will be given when applicable.

This story is also a sequel to Flower Vase. Though it can be read as a standalone, it does somewhat spoil the latter events of that story, since it features many of the same events, just from a different perspective.

I’ll be translating from the uncensored Myrics edition, using the internal chapter numbering that is (most likely) a mirror for the volume numbers, rather than going by the external Myrics chapter numbers. A (censored) free version is also available on Jinjiang. Please consider buying the full uncensored edition from Myrics to support the author if you’re able!
