Summary
The Cultivation World was no stranger to gossip.
From the minor clans to the major clans, there was an implicit belief that they were superior to ordinary people, even those who ran the country from the Imperial City; some cultivators could attain immortality and become gods; they could fly on swords, subdue living creatures with music, and survive for long periods without food through meditation.
But they were still human. And it was human nature to prosper by meddling in other people’s affairs.
This gossip in particular had the potential to spread and ignite like a broken lantern thrown into a pool of oil: the lucky ones had witnessed the highlights live, the others would complain for a long time that they had missed such a spectacle.
And to think that it all started with a simple hair ribbon.
~
When Wei Ying is twelve years old, the Jiang Clan hold a Discussion Conference at Lotus Pier. All the clans attend, including the Wens. All goes well until Wen RuoHan notices the red ribbon in Wei Ying's hair.

Summary
Before the girl stood the imposing structure known as “The Machine,” which was rumored to revolutionize the agricultural world. There were also whispers that its inventor couldn’t really be the Chief Cultivator’s grandson, a boy of only thirteen; the boldest of them clearly claimed that Wen RuoHan had credited him with someone else’s merits because he was the worst of indulgent grandparents.
Mei Ling had also believed this. However, now that she was looking at the famous Wei Wuxian with her own eyes, she began to reconsider that accusation.
~
Simply put: Wei Ying's inventive genius when he has a very wealthy and very supportive family behind him.

Summary
It would have been the normal body of a well-trained twelve year old if not for the whip scars on his back. Some were old enough to look faded, others were just healing. But there was one, long and deep, still a bit swollen and red. Only a particularly violent whipping could have left such a mark.
Wei Wuxian had been in Qishan for three months. There, no one would have dared to harm a hair on his head. This meant that he had been injured by the Jiang sect.

Secrets can't stay secrets forever and the past must be faced.

Summary
It was easy to tell when Wei Ying wanted something. Despite being a tall, slender fifteen-year-old who had recently topped the rankings of the most popular gongzi, he still acted like a child begging for a toy.
"Gra-n-d-pa!"
Wen RuoHan raised an eyebrow. Wei Ying had approached him while he was instructing Wen Xu on administrative matters. “What do you want?” he asked bluntly. Though his tone was dry, it wasn’t hostile. In fact, he seemed amused. He probably enjoyed indulging his grandson more than anyone could imagine.
Wei Ying smiled and pulled out letters bearing the Lan seal—the same invitations that had arrived at the Sun Palace every year for over a decade, only to be fed to the goats.
~
The year of studies at Cloud Recesses is coming. Wen Xu is skeptical. Wen RuoHan is disgusted. Wei Ying has his own methods of persuasion.

Summary
The Wen clan was soon going to hold a week-long symposium.
For someone like Wei Wuxian, who thrived among people and loved to show off, it would be seven wonderful days. Zhuliu was more inclined to consider the event a nuisance, weighed down by the grim possibility that something would go wrong and the exhausting certainty that Wei Wuxian was incapable of staying out of trouble.
~
Wei Ying couldn't ask for more from life: He has a loving family. His boyfriend is the most wonderful and incredible man in the world. Everyone admires his inventions.
The future was like a shining sun.
However, it's when everything seems perfect that the darkest storm clouds gather.Series
