Summary
Xuanzheng (玄正) 20, Gengchen (庚辰) - Debut of the Yiling Patriarch Wei Wuxian in the Sunshot Campaign, end of the Wen clan.
Xuanzheng 25, Yiyou (乙酉) - Death of Wei Wuxian in the first siege of the Burial Mounds.
Xuanzheng 38, Wuxu (戊戌) - Sacrificial ritual of Mo Xuanyu to bring Wei Wuxian back from the dead...
As the grandmaster who founded the Demonic Sect, Wei Wuxian roamed the world in his wanton ways, hated by millions for the chaos he created. In the end, he was backstabbed by his dearest shidi and killed by powerful clans that combined to overpower him. He incarnates into the body of a lunatic who was abandoned by his clan and is later, unwillingly, taken away by a famous cultivator among the clans—Lan Wangji, his archenemy. This marks the start of a thrilling yet hilarious journey of attacking monsters, solving mysteries, and raising children. From the mutual flirtation along the way, Wei Wuxian slowly realizes that Lan Wangji, a seemingly haughty and indifferent poker-face, holds more feelings for Wei Wuxian than he is letting on.

Lyrics
风雨前尘 傲视苍穹
轻抚陈情亦从容 云深不知处 天子笑坛中 世事无常 独醉梦一场 探正邪两道 观世间喧嚣 孤一身战江湖 亦不曾 将内心辜负 潇洒人间道 善恶都离空 却抹不掉心中伤痕 这一世 浮生若梦 纵然与世无争 道不同义在心中 怎奈侠肝义胆 却成一场空 善恶是非分明 爱恨界限不清 相识就像是一场梦 轮回重生 恩怨迷蒙 似曾相识 露青锋 云景深处 琴瑟伴笛声 世事无常 独醉梦一场 观正邪两道 探世间喧嚣 并肩战江湖 从未曾 将内心辜负 潇洒人间道 善恶都离空 却抹不掉心中伤痕 这一世 与人无争 纵然与世无争 道不同义在心中 怎奈侠肝义胆 却成一场空 善恶是非分明 爱恨界限不清 相知就像是一场梦 纵然与世无争 道不同义在心中 怎奈侠肝义胆 却成一场空 善恶是非分明 爱恨界限不清 相知就像是一场梦 |

Lyrics
跨千山 踏遍万水
月下 琴瑟凝结成霜 魂歌散 轻风度思量 天子笑 醉一场 花开花谢 落叶满窗 雅正端方 亦沧桑 乱必出 剑起避尘气如霜 曲终人散 意未央 弹指间 倾百花香 玉兔姑苏藏 年华落 是谁人忘却谁心伤 夜未央 冷泉荡漾 心事伴过往 奏一曲 回眸一笑似梦一场 |
Ending 2
"Bu Xian (不羡)" by S.I.N.G (SING女团) (eps 9-13)
Lyrics:
云梦遥浮世纷怨谁明了
姑苏照涟漪拨乱了心跳 少年玉面清袍风骨桀骜 琴声渺渺笛声寥寥 清河耀今朝花落人寂寥 兰陵傲三尺青锋灼尘嚣 纵使刀光入鞘半生孤傲 绽若云巅风雨飘摇 挥剑断邪妄宵小除奸为济道 抚一曲问灵问天地昭昭 天子笑 一樽美酒今生为你挥毫 前路遥流年不羡那风貌 清河耀今朝花落人寂寥 兰陵傲三尺青锋灼尘嚣 纵使刀光入鞘半生孤傲 绽若云巅风雨飘摇 挥剑断邪妄宵小除奸为济道 抚一曲问灵问天地昭昭 天子笑 一樽美酒今生为你挥毫 前路遥流年不羡那风貌 挥剑断邪妄宵小除奸为济道 抚一曲问灵问天地昭昭 天子笑 一樽美酒今生为你挥毫 前路遥流年不羡那风貌 |
Trivia
