Remnants of Filth 3: Schatten der Vergangenheit
Tief in den Schatten glänzt ein Rest des alten Ruhms …
Gu Mang will unbedingt beweisen, dass er nicht mehr der skrupellose Mann ist, der er einst war.

Während Mo Xi und Gu Mang noch darum ringen, auf den Trümmern ihrer Vergangenheit etwas Neues aufzubauen, werden sie auf eine Rettungsmission geschickt. Ihr Ziel ist eine von Dämonen heimgesuchte Insel, die so manches düstere Geheimnis birgt.

"I ask you to teach me one last thing. It’s been seventeen years—half our lives so far. Teach me how to let go. Can you teach me how to feel at ease? How do I lose two souls—can mine be missing instead? I still have my memory and my mind; I can’t let go! I knew I couldn’t change a thing upon traveling eight years into the past, but I still wanted to ask you not to defect; I still hoped for you to stay, even if you think it’s all useless! What cross o’er the abyss of suffering, chase no more the past—I’ve lived in the past for eight years! Since the day you left, I’ve lived eight years in the past. I wished so badly for you to recover your memories, but now that you’ve recovered them, you tell me you’ve let go… Gu Mang, Gu-shixiong…in those seventeen years, what was I in your heart?!"

i need meatbun to stop playing the ‘how much more can we make mo xi & gu mang suffer game’ because it is NOT fun to watch. what possessed meatbun to write ”gu mang, gu-shixiong…in those seventeen years, what was i in your heart?” and ”you said you once loved me”
what possessed meatbun to consistently rip all the characters hearts into tiny little pieces???

Volume 3 of Remnants of Filth offered a heartbreak after a heartbreak. I’ll try to review it without great spoilers, but continue at your own discretion.
The story picks up on the burial mountain where Mo Xi is paying respects to his father. Gu Mang, feeling the need to show Mo Xi that he can become a good person again, sets to ask forgiveness in front of all ten thousand graves on the burial mountain. This even though Mo Xi tells him that no matter how good he becomes, he’ll be executed in the end.
And Mo Xi is right: people aren’t swayed by Gu Mang’s show of humility. Things might have continued like they have so far, with Mo Xi frustrated with Gu Mang, whose memory remains poor, but then Yue Chenqing goes missing. The emperor orders Mo Xi to go rescue him with his Fourth Uncle Murong Chui and half-brother Jiang Yexue, and Gu Mang has to come along too. It’s an uncomfortable journey, as Murong Chui and Jiang Yexue don’t get along at all, and Gu Mang remembers some of the more embarrassing things.
They locate Yue Chenqing to an island of bat demons, but the rescue mission goes sideways. In the heat of the battle, Gu Mang and Mo Xi have a chance to observe the events of the past, namely the moment Gu Mang decides to defect.
It’s a revelation in many ways to Mo Xi. He learns things about Gu Mang he had been too young to understand at the time, and gets some insight into why Gu Mang defected, though he has now more questions than before. And he realises exactly how the emperor sees Gu Mang and what his role in Gu Mang’s defection was. All of it is heartbreaking; more so, because Mo Xi has no way to help Gu Mang or console him.
Mo Xi is greatly shaken by what he learns, but since the battle is on, he has no time to reflect. Gu Mang is changed too. But not back to the man Mo Xi knew before. The final heartbreak comes when Mo Xi finally gathers courage to ask Gu Mang if he ever loved him. The book ends before we get the answer. It’ll be an agony to wait for the next volume.

The beginning of the book is still somewhat light-hearted, with Gu Mang recovering his memories piece by piece—some of them led to hilarious moments, with Mo Xi being flustered and blushing.
“I’ve been living with you this whole time, without ever helping you out and always making you mad. Why didn’t you tell me I could make you like me like that?”
The tone becomes much heavier when we finally found out what happened 8 years ago when Gu Mang fell from glory. It’s heartbreaking to see how he was pushed to a corner with no way out.
I, too, once rode a splendid horse,
my flag bid thousands on their course.
One cry dispersed the demon crowd;
godlike, before my feet all bowed.
Today none mark my glories past,
men once called friends all turn their backs.
A lot of things stay a mystery, but this revelation is enough to devastate Mo Xi. My heart breaks to see him struggle again and again.
The agony was such that his heart had all but stopped—a heartrending pain, a bone-breaking pain, stripping flesh from his bones… His heart seemed to be wailing in despair, as if crying out that it really didn’t know how to face love and sin. Might as well just kill him… Might as well just let itself stop beating.
It hurt too much.
I was pretty crossed with Gu Mang when he acted so callous and uncaring towards Mo Xi after his memories recovered. I know he has his own reasons, but please, give that poor guy a break!

We finally find out what broken Gu Mang 8 years ago. It’s horrific and no surprise he defected. A weaker willed person would not have survived.

5 stars! Perfection!!
This was definitely my favorite of the series so far, just perfect quote after perfect quote. I am glad to see these characters opening up at the end. Hopefully, they will resolve their shit in the next one, but either way, the story is just so engrossing and I can’t wait for the next installment of the series to get here for me to devour in a day or two again.
There are definitely ups and downs and I am a little surprised that they aren't an item at all yet but the plot is just so good. I'm becoming quite picky about what I collect physically because I am running out of space but this will always have a space on my self because of how good it is.

Ugh!! If you are looking for extremely well written angst and the most exquisite pain, then look no further than volume three of Remnants of Filth! My gods, this book literally ripped my heart out and then trampled it into the dust! I’m not usually the type of person who enjoys torturing myself, but this was just SO GOOD!! As much as I loved the previous volume, this one was even better!
In this volume we finally get a deeper look into what happened eight years ago leading up to Gu Mang’s ill fated defection to the Liao Kingdom. This was by far my favorite part of the volume and of the overall story up to this point. Heartbreaking as they are, these scenes are incredibly well written. They offer deep insight, not only into Gu Mang’s character but Mo Xi’s as well. Many secrets are revealed, though just as many are left unexplored. New questions are raised, adding to the already intriguing mystery that is Gu Mang’s past. There are deep layers of intrigue, ulterior motives, and hidden schemes undoubtedly still lurking in the shadows.
I don’t want to spoil anything by going into too much detail, but I will say that I loved the way the author handled these flashbacks. Unlike in some other books that I have read, these were seamlessly integrated into the story without disrupting the overall flow of the plot. I thought that it was extremely well done and also managed to successfully tie past events into those taking place in the present day.
Though these flashback scenes and the immediate aftermath of what they revealed were by far my favorite part of the book, the rest of it was also excellent. The author does an exceptional job of developing her characters and slowly making the reader care for and sympathize with them more and more as events unfold. Mo Xi in particular has grown on me considerably. The more I learn about him the better I’m able to understand his actions and point of view. I really appreciate when an author takes the time to actually write a character in a way that makes the reader love and sympathize with them rather than simply expecting as a given that will be the case because they are the main character.
So far, this story seems to have the exact type of angst that I most enjoy. It’s painful and heartrending but it’s also deeply moving. The conflict doesn’t come from petty misunderstandings that could easily be resolved if the characters would just communicate for five minutes. It’s not simply black and white, right or wrong. It isn’t drama for the sake of drama. It’s deep and visceral. The characters are victims of circumstance, driven apart by the cruelty of fate and the incompatible circumstances of their births. Honestly, I’ve always been a complete sucker for forbidden love and Remnants of Filth has that in spades. The depth of the pain and heartbreak only makes the tender moments sweeter. For me, it’s the perfect blend.

July 6, 2025each yuwu volume steadily chips away at my soul… thankfully there’s going to be a happy ending to this (at the very end 🙂). less sad than i expected it would be but there were still some very sad parts.
MO XI 😭😭💔💔💔 i know gu mang had to do what he did for a reason but this is so heartbreaking for mo xi, i actually feel so bad for him, it’s intolerable. he deserves so much… both of them do, but, the ending of this volume made me frustrated with gu mang (even though i was dying about him with his army and his friend a couple of chapters - his breakdown and mo xi being unable to console him was so sad). treat mo xi better 🥹🥹 three more volumes of more angst… im scared.
“i think i liked it. it felt really good.“ he looked up, his face still tinged with the flush brought on by those memories. “it seemed like you needed me.”
mo xi immediately stilled.
“it’s good… to be needed by someone,” gu mang said softly for someone to get happiness from me, not because of hatred or venting – that felt so good.”
💔
“i just want you to be well,” mo xi rested his chin on the top of gu mang’s head as he held him tight. “if there’s any sadness or grievance in your heart, won’t you tell me?” mo xi asked hoarsely. “could you let me share the burden? could you not overthink it? don’t bear it alone…”
i. want. to. show. you. my. heart. 🙂

"Time can only bring me your [Gu Mang's] ruins." - Mo Xi.
Anything that can make me cry as much as this does is a five-star read. Revelations keep wreaking havoc in Mo Xi's battered heart, and I truly don't know how much more heartbreak he, or I, can take. The emperor is a piece of trash, Murong Lian even more so. The whole messed-up dynamic between Jiang Yexue, Murong Chuyi, and Yue Chenqin makes me want to scream. I literally don't understand how JY can continue to be so caring when all he gets from MC and YC is disdain.
Gu Mang breaks my heart, and the whole Time Mirror sequence had me crying more often than not. Still, it makes me even sadder how he treats Mo Xi so coldly while calling him perfect and then throwing the most cruel lines his way afterward. The fact that Mo Xi asked him to teach him how to forget and be at ease because he's learned everything from him had me with rivers streaming down my face. Again, it's not just the last eight years of emotional torture and loss, it's the seventeen in total in which Gu Mang made his way into his life and irrevocably stole his heart.
I also appreciated the nods that tie this story to 2HA's world. They're nice little easter eggs if you've read both. Can't wait to continue willingly splitting my heart in two since I have the fourth volume already.

“What’s so bad about living in poverty, away from the whims of the court? A person is no more than a drop of water in the sea, yet he believes that mayfly can shake the skies.”
Reading this volume felt like reaching the point where the fog starts to thin, but not enough to see the full picture. Things finally begin to make sense in small, frustrating ways, yet instead of answers, I walked away with even more questions. It feels intentional, almost challenging, like the story wants you to sit with uncertainty rather than rush toward clarity. If the first two volumes were painful to get through emotionally, this one somehow goes further. It is heavier, more focused, and far less interested in offering relief. I can easily see how the slow pacing and constant emotional pressure could wear some readers down. There is very little comfort here, and patience is absolutely required.
What kept me engaged was how seriously the book treats its characters and their choices. Mo Xi comes across as someone who holds himself back at every turn, not because he lacks feeling, but because he refuses to indulge it. His restraint feels rooted in guilt and loyalty, and that makes it hurt more. Gu Mang, on the other hand, feels raw and sincere in a way that is hard to ignore. His openness, obedience, and pain all blur together, making even his humor feel bittersweet. Their connection is intense and unbalanced, shaped by history and fixation rather than tenderness. It feels intimate without ever being soft, and that tension never really lets up.
The story keeps moving, but often by piling on complications instead of letting moments fully land. I felt the constant push forward, yet by the end, the payoff felt delayed rather than satisfying. It can be exhausting, but the commitment to its tone and emotional follow through made it worth the effort. I finished it drained, frustrated, and still deeply invested.

No amount of words could conceal the things I want to say that might lead to bigger spoilers so I will just be brief compared to my thoughts on the first and second volume. And aside from the irrevocable pain, I'm so much salivating because of this volume!
I remember the first time I read YuWu, one of the most striking scenes in my memory is Gu Mang kowtowing on the thousands of graves on the Warrior Soul Mountain. I was in so much pain! But on this volume, what saddens me the most here is that all of them never thought of Gu Mang defecting. Still, time will really tell. And the Time Mirror didn't fail to actually share something.
Poor, poor Mo-shidi. The system he still serves is the same one that stripped Gu Mang of humanity piece by piece. Everything is a horror for him in this volume. What's more is his behavior in the mirror that is opposite to what he had done in the past. He tried to stay and save Gu Mang, even if he knows it will not work. For eight years he told himself he wanted justice and revenge. But the first thing he does when faced with the truth is try to save his Gu-shixiong. Save Mo Xi from all this! He's so tired.
And his Gu-shixiong is finally back, but Gu Mang is a menace. He's hurting himself and Mo Xi the most. Seventeen years. For seventeen years, Mo Xi shared more than half of his life with his beloved Shige. And Gu Mang expects him to just let it all go? Gu Mang is a real menace! But Shixiong isn't pampering his Shidi today! Not in this volume. Oh, my XiMang.
On the other hand, Jiang Yexue and Murong Chuyi subtly mirrors Mo Xi and Gu Mang's situation in this volume, especially on the Bat Island. One chases the other, while the other tries to evade. They're so silly... and also heartbreaking. I will not speak! I do not condone the things that I know but I still love them. And Yue Chenqing is so precious! I get both nephews because I love Murong Chuyi too.
And Chen Tang and Hua Po'an is finally introduced! I feel like a little gremlin when Mo Xi was sharing it to Gu Mang. I need to contain myself! I need to hop on the next volume, asap!
