    Summary

    Wei Ying had been powerful, smart, and bright. Too powerful, too smart, and too bright, in fact. By the end of his stay in the Cloud Recess, he had started to talk of dark magic. Upon arriving back home after Lan Qiren expelled him, he started to practice it. Shadow work, first, which was unorthodox enough, and then necromancy, forbidden spells. His advancements, findings and approaches had been welcome when the threat of the Wen Coven was at its greatest, but then Coven Leader Wen Ruohan’s magic had turned against himself and another branch of the family had taken over, and Wei Ying's ideas had turned from innovative and interesting to dangerous and threatening.

    It had resulted in the breaking of his wand, in his banishment from the Chinese Magical World. And thirteen years after it, he remained away and unreachable, branded as an heretic—Wei Wuxian was the looming shadow of a sibling, and a friend, and a lover, but no more.

    Now, however. Now...

    “We need Wei Wuxian.”

    Or,
    Thirteen years after choosing banishment instead of admitting to a crime he didn't commit, Wei Wuxian returns to the Chinese Magical World. To save it.

    Summary

    ”Ba— Wei-qianbei,” Lan Sizhui clears his throat, pink dusting his cheeks. “We found this…person here, unconscious.”

    It’s clear these two are close and communicating somehow silently in front of Wei Wuxian. As if not wanting to say something in front of the Yiling Laozu.

    ”I see,” the youthful man murmurs and then approaches Wei Wuxian.

    Still trying to get his bearings, Wei Wuxian scrambles backwards until his back hits a tree. “Stay away if you know what’s good for you!” He snaps but this doesn’t seem to scare the other man. In fact, he only comes closer.

    He doesn’t notice how Lan Sizhui seems to urge the Jin away with the other youth.

    “Wow,” the other man murmurs thoughtfully, with a finger to his chin. “Was I really this untrusting of others back then?”

    ”Hah?!” Wei Wuxian doesn’t think he heard this man correctly. ‘Did he just say I?’

    ”What are you—?!” It’s then that he notices the dizi sticking out of his sash. “Chenqing?!” Wei Wuxian turns to his own instrument, finding it still secure in place. How? They were exactly the same!

    ”I told you already,” the man grins a little too giddy for Wei Wuxian’s liking. “I’m you. You’re me.”

    Summary

    The Sunshot Campaign is over, and Wei Wuxian is making a solid attempt to drown himself in alcohol. Meanwhile, Jin Guangshan has a plan to get control over the Tiger Seal: literally seducing Wei Wuxian to join the Jin. If he sends enough women, surely one of them will catch the Yiling Patriarch's eye? Jiang Cheng doesn't get paid enough to deal with this nonsense.

    Summary

    The Cloud Recesses Guest Lectures were held every three years for disciples between the ages of fifteen and eighteen. They had three purposes.

    The first (and the reason it was hosted by the Lan) was to provide a shared baseline understanding of the core cultivation topics that underpinned every sect while not divulging clan-specific approaches.

    The second was to create opportunities for friendships and alliances that would reduce the chance of war between the clans.

    The third, and most important, was for the clans to replenish their bloodline by finding compatible mates with strong cultivation skills. In the last month of the lectures, challenges to test compatibility may be issued.

    Wei Wuxian challenges Lan Wangji, sure that they are compatible mates. The Lan refuse to allow the Challenge.

    They come to regret it.
