Synopsis of Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation: Wei Wuxian Returns to Childhood and Is Adopted by the Jade Emperor
On the Burial Mounds, Wei Wuxian, the Yiling Patriarch, dies and his soul disperses. But by a twist of fate, a fragment of his spirit travels back to his childhood, where the Jade Emperor, touring the mortal realm, takes him back to Heaven. The Three Realms are shaken by the fate of this demonic child reborn. When Taibai Jinxing divines the secrets of Heaven, he uncovers a destined bond between Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji, the second young master of the Gusu Lan Clan. The red threads in the Matchmaker's Hall become inexplicably tangled, and the unfinished bond from their previous life quietly begins anew.
In Heaven, Wei Wuxian learns the art of the Fire-Tipped Spear from Nezha and receives a moon rabbit companion from Chang'e. At the Peach Banquet, he meets the young Lan Wangji, who has come down from Heaven. A prank sparks a farcical bout of silencing spells, but in their innocent hearts, the first ripples of affection appear. Meanwhile, the schemer Jin Guangshan uses demonic cultivation to spy on the secrets of Heaven and twists the Heavenly Dao for his own gain. Behind the Jiang Clan's internal strife and the conflicts among the cultivation sects, his hand is at work.
When Wei Wuxian sneaks a look into the Mirror of Reincarnation and witnesses the tragedy of his past life, he is punished by being sent to the mortal realm to undergo trials. Concealing his celestial identity, he joins the Yunmeng Jiang Clan. At the Xuanwu of Slaughter's lair, he risks his life to save Lan Wangji. The instant his immortal powers are unsealed, the name “Lan Zhan” slips from his lips, awakening fragments of Lan Wangji's buried memories and revealing the deep bond between them across two lifetimes.
The schemes of the mortal and celestial realms gradually intertwine. From their innocent first meeting to standing shoulder to shoulder against Jin Guangshan's art of devouring others' fortune, Wangxian witness countless bad endings in the Tower of Three Thousand Karmic Bonds and make an eternal vow by the Milky Way. When a transmigrator alliance attempts to rewrite the Three Realms, the lovers, who have weathered life and death, stand as equals to the gods in mortal bodies. In the back hills of Cloud Recesses, they carve their eternal promise, “Every day,” and write a dazzling legend of defying fate.
