In a failed mission to retrieve their swords and rescue their little sister, Wei Wuxian and Jiang Cheng end up captured in the fire palace along with Lan Xichen and Lan Wangji, completely at the mercy of the Wen Sect leader. He looks at them with a hunger and twisted desire. Who knows what he’s planning? All of them, including the sister, get locked up in a cell. Oh dear.
Y/N was on the way to safety with her sister in a carriage when they were attacked.Her sister managed to get away but she stayed behind to give her more time. Now, Y/N has been thrown into the dungeon at the enemy palace, the very same dungeon as her crush Wen Ning and his sister Wen Qing.
Sixteen years after the burial mounds were first sieged, and after Ying Xiao Yue was killed along with all of the Wen remmenants and her brother Wei Wuxian, things change. Her brother is brought back in Mo Xuanyus body. He is reunited with his Lan Zhan. And Ying Xiao Yue’s fierce corpse somehow escapes the dungeons under Koi tower. She finds him, but she’s distraught. She thinks Wen Ning is long dead, and nothing is left for her here. Which isn’t true.
Y/N has just woken up. She was dragged off of the battle field after her side miraculously won. She collapsed from the strain of the power she used. She’s awake now, though. And the first thing she does when she awakes is ask where Wen Ning and Wen Qing are. She was kept in a dungeon with them for the past three months. They are part of the enemy sect but they were prisoners to it all the same. When she awakes, she is told that Wen Ning has already been taken to a Jin prison camp for his ‘crimes’. His sister has been taken to a separate one. She and her older adoptive brother Wei Wuxian fight to find where they are. They manage to wrestle the information out of a Jin sect heir, Jin Zixun, but the news is far from what they hoped.
