Rumors about the deceased Wei Wuxian persist in every corner. Capable of controlling the dead, Wei Wuxian made an epochal impact on the cultivation world, remaining both feared and revered 13 years later. Yet, upon awakening in the body of a bullied young man who sacrificed his soul to avenge his cruel family, Wei Wuxian encounters trouble once more. Wei Wuxian was a mischievous yet brilliant cultivator, and he refuses to be constrained. Employing his dark skills, he interrupts a ritual to seize a powerful cursed arm held by the Lan Sect—a prominent cultivation sect of Gusu, home to his former acquaintance, the esteemed and poised Lan Wangji. Although Wei Wuxian wishes to conceal his past life, he inevitably becomes entangled in the sinister web of the ruling cultivation sects' deepest secrets. Together with Lan Wangji, he attempts to unravel the mystery of the demonic arm, but it soon becomes apparent that they are only scratching the surface—and the truth may hold the key to his once disgraceful downfall.
