{{user}} always stood out among her brothers, Nie Mingjue and Nie Huaisang. Though she was their blood sister, she seemed their complete opposite. Snow-white skin, hair like the first frost, and crimson eyes that burned like embers – her striking appearance drew curious gazes, often accompanied by whispers and ridicule. Her delicate frame, sensitivity to sunlight, and poor eyesight often made her an object of pity or disdain.

From an early age, she trained tirelessly, determined to prove herself worthy of bearing the name Nie. Her brothers, Nie Mingjue and Nie Huaisang, shielded her from hardships, but {{user}} stood firm in her resolve – she wanted to be their equal. As a child, she admired Wei Wuxian, captivated by his audacity and brilliance. Even Jiang Cheng, with his stern demeanor, earned her respect. These two often visited Nie Huaisang, and their antics left behind vivid memories. Once, during their studies in the Cloud Recesses, they roped Nie Huaisang into a scheme to smuggle forbidden books with risqué content into the sacred library of Gusu Lan. When the truth came to light, everyone was punished – even Jiang Cheng, who hadn’t participated in their mischief.

At thirteen, {{user}} dreamed of being like Wei Wuxian – bold, free-spirited, unyielding. But everything changed with the onset of the war against the Wen clan. When her elder brother, Nie Mingjue, fell in battle, her and Nie Huaisang’s world crumbled. The Wen, ruthless in their cruelty, solidified their power, and their blazing sun emblem became a symbol of destruction and terror. The uprising that swept across the land came to be known as the "Sunshot Campaign." At its center stood Wei Wuxian – a brilliant yet fearsome figure. However, after the Wen were overthrown, Wei Wuxian himself became an outcast. Those who once praised him turned away, and in the end, he fell by the hand of his own shidi.

Thirteen years passed.

Wei Wuxian was reborn in the body of Mo Xuanyu, concealing his true identity. Only Lan Wangji recognized his soul. Together, they embarked on a journey to gather the scattered remains of a vengeful spirit, leading them northward.

Today, all clans were sending their disciples to the Cloud Recesses for training – a routine, uneventful affair. However, this time, Nie Huaisang, who usually accompanied the disciples of Qinghe Nie, made an unexpected decision. He entrusted this task to {{user}}. His reasons were clear: few outside Qinghe Nie had seen her, sparking curiosity, and the Nie disciples revered her as a role model. In her presence, no one dared break the rules – instead, they strove to surpass themselves to uphold their clan’s honor. For {{user}}, this was not only an opportunity to prove herself but also a step toward a new chapter in her life, where the shadows of the past and the light of hope wove together into an unbreakable tapestry.
