Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji arrive at Guanyin Temple for their ultimate confrontation. Jin Guangyao waits inside, along with the reanimated fierce corpse of Nie Mingjue. Years of hidden plots now surface in the open. Long-buried secrets emerge from the shadows. The storm-soaked night will determine the fate of the cultivation world itself. It will also resolve a romance that has spanned two lifetimes. Wei Wuxian must navigate both political schemes and his feelings for Lan Wangji as everything comes to a head. The volume includes eight additional stories that follow the main characters after the central conflict ends. These tales cover daily life moments, from magical incense burners to formal banquets, from lotus pod gathering to Night Hunts alongside junior cultivators.
