The Lotus and the Cloud

Lan Lianhua was born a minute before Lan Wangji, making her the slightly older twin-much to his dismay. While he upholds the Lan sect's rigid rules with unwavering discipline, she prefers to toe the line, balancing duty with a mischievous spark that constantly gets under her brothers' skin. She is the chaos to their order, the storm beneath the still waters of Cloud Recesses.

When she meets Wei Wuxian, she finds a kindred spirit-brilliant, reckless, and impossibly free. But as the world darkens and war looms, she is torn between the unshakable bonds of family and the one person who makes her feel truly alive. She fights for him, she loses him, and for thirteen years, she carries the weight of his disappearance, haunted by the moment she wasn't strong enough to save him.

Now, he has returned. But so have the ghosts of their past. As old wounds reopen and secrets unravel, Lan Lianhua must face the truth: The world blames Wei Wuxian for crimes she knows he never committed. And this time, she will fight for him-no matter the cost.
