He was a young cultivator who combined martial proficiency, scholarly knowledge, and spiritual insight to achieve formidable skills. However, his exploration of demonic cultivation during the ravages of war turned admiration into fear, and his defeat was celebrated widely. Yet, fate offers Wei Wuxian a second chance when he is resurrected in the body of a young man who willingly sacrifices his soul for vengeance. Confronted with this new life, Wei Wuxian remains tethered to the life he once knew and the enigmas that continue to surface. This time, he is not alone—by his side is Lan Wangji, another exceptional cultivator whose steadfast loyalty and shared past memories will help unravel the ominous truths that await them.
