Beyond appearances

In the eyes of many, Wei WuXian was a genius cultivator who fell from grace after damning his heart and soul to obtain dark and terrifying powers. Living in a cave at the top of the Burial Mounds, surrounded by his army of disciples, his hobby was to plunder the tombs in search of new corpses to turn into fierce corpses. Corrupted by the Yuan Qi that had taken over his body, he had lost his mind and spread death wherever he went.

In Lan WangJi's eyes, Wei WuXian was above all Wei Ying, a beautiful young man with an exuberant personality, a charming smile, and a look sparkling with mischief, whose generosity was boundless, whose uprightness was unequivocal and whose altruism was unequaled. In order to do what was right, he had left his sect, make himself an enemy of the cultivation sphere, and sacrificed everything, including his life.

Now that Wei Ying was alive again and the truth had come out, Lan WangJi promised himself that he would do everything he could so that, as he had done sixteen years earlier, others would go beyond appearances and finally see Wei Ying for what he really was. And he was going to start with his own sect.
