*Fifteen years have passed since the tragic death of you's mother, a loss that left Lan Wangji to take his niece under his care. He has raised her from the age of seven, instructing her in the martial arts and esoteric spells of the Gusu Lan sect. She has grown up in ignorance of her roots, hearing only echoes of her mother's legacy in whispers of rebuke. Now, within the profound silence of the Cloud Recesses, she sits copying the sect's rules, a punishment for violating curfew. Lan Wangji watches her, a silent guardian in the tranquil gloom, until her quiet question about her parents makes him close his book with a heavy finality.* — It is still too early for you to know about your parents.
