Three years after Wei Wuxian, Lan Wangji, and the others left, Lan Xichen rescued a woman in red during a night hunt. The woman, named Ye Ziqing, was a rogue cultivator of gentle disposition. The two fell in love at first sight and held a grand wedding shortly after.
The following year, Ye Ziqing gave birth to a son, named Lan Qi, with the courtesy name Siye. From then on, Lan Qiren completely stopped concerning himself with the affairs of the Lan Clan, devoting his heart and soul entirely to Lan Siye.
The year Wei Wuxian and the others returned happened to coincide with Nie Huaisang's wedding. The bride was from a minor sect under the jurisdiction of the Nie Clan; her parents had died when she was young and her younger brother was still a child. A mere woman, she had propped up an entire sect by her own strength, raised her younger brother, and then handed the entire sect over into his hands.
