Synopsis

Thirteen years after his death, Wei Wuxian's legend still haunts the cultivation world. The guy could control corpses, left a massive mark on everything, and people haven't stopped talking about him since—half in fear, half in awe. Then he suddenly wakes up in someone else's body: a kid who got bullied so badly he sold his soul just to get revenge on his family. But Wei Wuxian's never been the type to stay down. He's clever, he's got skills in dark cultivation, and he definitely doesn't play by the rules. He crashes a ritual to intercept a cursed arm that the Lan Sect has been keeping under wraps—and the Lan Sect happens to be based in Gusu, home of Lan Wangji, someone from Wei Wuxian's past. He wants to keep his old identity buried, but there's no avoiding it. The major cultivation sects are sitting on some seriously dark secrets, and Wei Wuxian gets pulled straight into the mess. Teaming up with Lan Wangji, he digs into the cursed arm mystery. But what starts as one investigation keeps spiraling—and the answers might actually lead back to whatever destroyed his reputation in the first place.
