Wei Wuxian è il temibile Patriarca di Yiling, considerato il fondatore delle tecniche demoniache di coltivazione, una combinazione di studi taoisti e arti mistiche che consente di ottenere facoltà soprannaturali. Governa eserciti di cadaveri e semina il terrore con il suo Generale fantasma Wen Ning e il potentissimo Sigillo Oscuro della Tigre. Quando finalmente muore durante il Grande Assalto al colle dei Sepolcri, la notizia è accolta con gioia dal mondo dei cultori. Tredici anni dopo, Wei Wuxian si risveglia nel corpo di un giovane che sacrifica l'anima per farlo rinascere nel proprio corpo e affidargli la sua vendetta. Questa seconda vita, però, non libera Wei Wuxian dal fardello di quella precedente, e anzi lo costringerà a fare i conti con le conseguenze delle scelte intraprese. Al suo fianco c'è Lan Wangji, cultore sopraffino dalla reputazione inattaccabile, con il quale tenterà di fare luce sui segreti intricati che riemergono dalle ombre del loro passato. E al quale si troverà unito da un legame tanto inaspettato quanto indomabile.

HAUNTED BY SIN Following the trail of a dismembered corpse, Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji arrive at the gates of Yi City: an old, abandoned town shrouded in mist and restless spirits. A fiendish foe awaits them in the shadows, heralding a tale of heartbreak and tragedy. When the mysterious corpse’s identity is finally revealed, the hunt for its killer plunges Wei Wuxian back into the depths of the cultivation world's politics, where he must keep his enemies close and Lan Wangji even closer.

Shoot Down the Sun The bloody war against the Wen Clan once led Wei Wuxian to seek power in demonic cultivation, and the dark acts he committed drove a wedge between him and Lan Wangji. Now, those old sins come back to haunt him as his reincarnated identity is revealed to the cultivation world. But even as the other clans call for Wei Wuxian’s death, Lan Wangji stands by him, making Wei Wuxian realize what he took for disapproval in the past might have been a much deeper emotion.

History stands poised to repeat itself as Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji are besieged by walking corpses atop the Burial Mounds. It is here fate offers them a second chance to protect their loved ones and unmask the true instigator of this grisly onslaught. As shocking revelations shake the cultivation world to its very core, the unlikely couple becomes preoccupied with other matters—like an evening of drunken impulse that may push their budding relationship into bold new territory.

Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji are headed for a showdown at Guanyin Temple, where their path converges with Jin Guangyao and Nie Mingjue's reassembled fierce corpse. With decades\-long schemes finally unveiled, and terrible secrets unearthed, the events of this rain\-battered night will decide not just the future of the entire cultivation world...but also that of a love story two lifetimes in the making. Also included in this final volume are eight short stories about what happens when an epic tale ends but life goes on. From magical incense burners to tense banquets, lotus\-pod\-hunting to Night Hunts with the juniors—these stories span dawn to dusk and so much more!
