The Yiling Wei Sect

After the tragic death of Jin Zixuan and the devastating First Siege, Wei Wuxian - once a renowned cultivator of the major sects - mysteriously vanished without a trace, taking the enigmatic Wen Remnants with him. To the world, he was presumed dead or lost forever, a ghost of the past that no one dared to speak of openly. Rumors and whispers swirled among the major sects, painting him as a fallen villain or a tragic outcast, and many believed he had abandoned his family and disciples.

But the truth was far different.

Hidden away in the secluded valleys of Yiling, beyond the burial mounds and beneath towering mountains, Wei Wuxian established the Yiling Wei Sect - a sanctuary unlike any other. The sect embraced freedom from rigid traditional rules, where men and women trained side by side as equals, wielding unique and often unconventional weapons forged by a kind-hearted craftsman named Shi Ming. The disciples were unbound by the rigid customs of the major sects, encouraged to express themselves through bold makeup, intricate jewelry, and distinct hairstyles. Warriors and artists alike, they defied expectations and built a family founded on acceptance and strength.

Among them were Wei Wuxian's three sons - Mo Xuanyu, Xue Yang, and Wei Yuan - each with their own talents and personalities, growing under their father's watchful but loving guidance.

Wei Wuxian's path to finding Mo Xuanyu was steeped in compassion and hope. Mo Xuanyu, once lost to a harsh past marked by abuse and betrayal, was taken in by Wei Wuxian's sect. With gentle patience, Wei Wuxian gave him a new home and a chance to heal, shielding him from the world's cruelty and nurturing his extraordinary strength.

This is the story of a father and his sons, a sect that dared to be different, and a journey toward acceptance in a world that once cast them aside.
