Horse that Harms the Herd

The story is based on a One Shot 'Black Sheep' I wrote for my collection "Because They Belong", which I felt coupd be elaborated into something longer.

Set in an alternate Universe where there is no Wen Rouhan, Wei Wuxian is the adopted child of Jiang Fengmian and Yu Ziyuan- a drunkard and a wanderer. Lan Wangji is the youngest Chief Cultivator at the age of thirty. He is five years younger than Lan Xichen, the Sect Leader of Gusu Lan and Jiang Yanli's fiancé. Both the Lans and Jiangs fear that Wei Wuxian may cause disgrace to the family at the upcoming wedding. So Lan Wangji is requested to discipline Wei Wuxian. But his first day in Yunmeng, Lan Wangji meets Wei Ying, a teenage boy with a penchant for mischief and a heart of gold and is blown away by him. As the nefarious Wei Wuxian continues to elude him, the boisterous Wei Ying brings out a side to Lan Wangji he never knew existed. What will happen when Lan Wangji finds out that the two Wei's are the same? Who will end up taming whom?
