**Summary:**
In the aftermath of a great war that tore apart the cultivation world, peace is fragile, and old wounds are slow to heal. Amidst the rebuilding, a powerful curse is unleashed-one that no talisman or spell can break. Lan Wangji, the stoic Second Jade of Lan, is reduced to a 5-year-old child. The once formidable cultivator, now a small boy, only remembers and cherishes one person: Wei Wuxian, the Yiling Patriarch.
Stripped of his memories, Lan Zhan retains only fragments of his former self-his serene nature, his love for music, and above all, his unwavering affection for Wei Ying. But he no longer carries the burdens of duty or the pain of past conflicts; in his innocent heart, there is only the joy of Wei Ying's presence.
Wei Wuxian, unprepared for this drastic change, finds himself with a new role: guardian, friend, and perhaps, a second chance at a simpler, purer bond with Lan Zhan. As he navigates the complexities of caring for the child who once stood as his equal, Wei Ying must also uncover the origins of the curse. With each passing day, he grows closer to Lan Zhan, who clings to him with childlike affection and trust.
The cultivation world watches with wary eyes, as some see the child Lan Wangji as an opportunity for revenge or gain. Wei Wuxian must protect the boy he loves from both external threats and the curse itself, which has roots deeper and darker than anyone suspects. To break it, Wei Ying must face his own past mistakes and fears, all while nurturing the young Lan Zhan who loves him without restraint.
