In a world where humans and demons have long been tangled in a deep-rooted conflict and skepticism towards each other, Wei Wuxian - a child born from an unheard union of the two races, an anomaly to the world - was forced to live on the streets after the sudden, unfortunate death of his parents. As fate would allow it, he encountered Lan Wangji, beloved and renowned second young master of the prominent Gusu Lan Sect, one of the most respected cultivational sects among the humans. He received a memento from him, yet their meeting was cut short without the two young children even exchanging a single word before they were separated.
Years passed and Wei Wuxian, now a young master to the Jiang Family of Yunmeng who saved him from a life as a tramp, was tasked with a mission to investigate the root of conflict between the humans and demons. He departed with his shidi, Jiang Cheng, to remote mountain where they were supposed to search for clues together.
And it was in this isolated region that he was unexpectedly reunited with the person from his memories.
Wen RuoHan is defeated and Wei WuXian lies in the courtyard of the Fire Palace as if dead. The Healers can't detect his Golden Core because of the mass of resentful energy swirling through his dantians and meridians. In an effort to save his life, Lan WangJi begs the Jiang siblings to allow him to take Wei WuXian back to Gusu. Reluctantly, they agree; the tranquility of Cloud Recesses will aid his healing far more than working to restore Lotus Pier will.
Wei WuXian is not so sure that being GusuLan's prisoner is the better choice. He wished they'd just get on with the trial and execution instead of these ineffective attempts to Heal him.
