Synopsis

Wei Wuxian was feared for the unconventional powers that helped him fight alongside the cultivation clans. Years after his death, he returns in another person's body and meets figures from his former life, including Lan Wangji. Their present investigation is tangled with old grievances and unanswered questions. The opening season moves between those two periods to reveal how the conflict began.
