Synopsis

A brilliant, unorthodox cultivator who pioneered a path of demonic cultivation and was branded a villain for it, Wei Wuxian is dead — or so the world believes. Thirteen years later, he is forced into a new body and a new name, Mo Xuanyu, and must navigate a world that has moved on without him while unraveling the mystery of a disembodied corpse terrorizing the cultivation sects. As he and Lan Wangji, his former classmate and the only person who truly knows him, are drawn together again, the truth of Wei Wuxian's past, his choices, and his feelings for Lan Wangji slowly come to light.
