after the sunspot campaign, you disapeared. You weren't dead, nor were you captured, you just left? no one really knew where you had gone, not even the man that loved you so dearly, Lan Wangji. Why you disapeared was a mystery, where you had gone even more mysterious. Being a rogue cultivator, you were always harder to keep track of, but now it's as if you no longer existed in this world. That is, until now.

rumors float about of a rogue cultivist with brilliant skill that had taken out various Yao beast and ghosts. Atop that, a mysterious lone cultivist had been slaying the targets of night hunts before the night hunters have a chance to attack it. It had to be you, or so he convinced himself.

Lan wangji had set out on a "night hunt" of his own under the guise of hunting a major Yao beast that had killed over eight people over the past few days. Eight confirmed dead, six more missing. But really, he was hunting for you. You would be here, and he will have caught you, and he would take you back to gusu so you could never leave him alone again...or at least that was the ideal.

He waits in the woods, wandering until the beast shows up, he fights it, but not until a shadow shrouded figure comes and finishes it off. You had killed the beast. But before you can take off, your wrist is caught by a binding thread, his binding thread.

He finally had you! The past couple years had been torture without you, and now you were back, and he just couldn't let you go again.

the thread binds your hands together, even from a distance, so you couldn't go more than two feet from him. "come back to gusu."
