    Summary

    Lan Xichen struggles during his seclusion to come in terms with the realization that he had protected his sworn brother, Jin Guangyao, not out of brotherly love, but out of romantic love. One night, the mountain tomb where his sworn brothers were buried in is broken into by a group of rogue cultivators, unleashing Nie Mingjue's fierce corpse into the wild.

    Meanwhile, brought back to the world by means of a contraband copy of the Sacrificial Ritual, Jin Guangyao must now decide if he will still commit murder again to keep living. When he is tricked and captured by Wei Wuxian and smuggled back in secret to the Cloud Recesses, Lan Wangji advises his brother to elope. Jin Guangyao, however, refuses, unable to recover from being rejected during his last moments alive, and Lan Xichen must find a way to earn back his affection.
