Wei Wuxian was very afraid of dogs due to the psychological trauma he received from fighting stray dogs for food when he lived on the streets as a child. Wei Wuxian was a talented artist who was able to paint a "very realistic" portrait of Lan Wangji. Wei Wuxian adored very spicy food. While Yunmeng's cuisine was typically spicy, even Jiang Cheng couldn't stand Wei Wuxian's spices. In his own words, he has a terrible memory. Wei Wuxian explains this by the words of his mother, who told him to remember what he did for others. He cooks terribly. Once, he even burned a hole in the cauldron while cooking. His handwriting was rather sloppy. Wei Wuxian could drink a huge amount of alcohol and stay sober. In his youth, as a member of the Yunmeng Jiang Order, he was more skilled in swimming than most other adepts.

Rumor: Most likely, due to the use of the Path of Darkness, Wei Wuxian had the unique ability to hear nearby spirits. For example, in the Stone Fortress, Wei Wuxian was disturbed by the loudness of the Qinghe Nie Order's ancestral necropolis, and Lan Wangji considered this place to be as quiet as a cemetery. Wei Wuxian was surprisingly intelligent and had a rich imagination. He was able to invent and expand the capabilities of the dark path to kill the entire surveillance camp in just three months. Swordsmanship: As long as he had the Golden Core, Wei Wuxian could use his Suibian sword with high speed and skill. Archery: Wei Wuxian was a skilled archer. During the grand competition of the Qishan Wen Order, he was one of the four winners of the archery competition, which was attended by adepts from many orders in the cultivation world. Paper Metamorphosis: Wei Wuxian learned this dangerous dark arts technique during his first life. This technique allowed him to attach his soul to a piece of paper, and during the events of the novel, he used it to spy on Jin Guangyao. Empathy: Mastering this ability allowed Wei Wuxian to see memories of ghosts or ferocious corpses, including A-Qing, Nie Mingjue. Path of Darkness: Wei Wuxian was the founder of this particular cultivation industry. Unlike traditional cultivation, which relied on purifying or suppressing dark energy, in the Path of Darkness, on the contrary, dark energy was used to help the appet. Compass of Evil: A compass capable of detecting evil creatures. However, since he died without finalizing it, the compass could not determine the exact location. Stygian Tiger Seal: Divided into two parts, this weapon was capable of summoning an army of ferocious corpses to carry out its owner's orders. Wen Ning: Wei Wuxian's experiments led him to make Wen Ning as the first Ducious Dead in history in consciousness.

After Wen Chao's capture, Wei Wuxian tried to keep Wen Zhuliu's face in his mind, the face of the man who had not only burned Jiang Chen's golden core, but also killed Yu Ziyuan and Jiang Fengmian. When Wei Wuxian took revenge, he called Wen Zhuli a loyal dog for his unwavering obedience to Wen Chao. When Wen Zhuliu replied that he had a debt that needed to be paid, Wei Wuxian scorned him, asking why his debt should be paid at the expense of others.

Wei Wuxian then stated that his goal was to make Wen Zhuliu admit how helpless he was in order to protect Wen Chao from him. Jiang Cheng used Jidian to restrain Wen Zhuliu while he and Wei Wuxian tortured Wen Chao to death. That night, Wen Zhuliu was killed.

Wei Wuxian held Wen Chao, the petty and cruel mistress, in low regard. However, Wang Lingjiao later visited Lotus Pier to punish him for his actions during the battle at the Cave of the Exterminator Turtle. When Yu Ziyuan retaliated, she fired flares that summoned enough disciples from the Qishan Wen Sect to destroy Lotus Pier. As a result, Wei Wuxian despised her.

After entering the Path of Darkness, Wei Wuxian drove Wang Lingjiao to madness so that she castrated Wen Chao before she choked to death by shoving a chair leg down her throat.

Initially, Wei Wuxian simply despised Wen Chao's arrogance. He mocked Wen Chao to his face, using Wen Mao's words, and even held a sword to his neck in the Cave of the Destroyer Turtle.

However, after Wen Chao overtook and destroyed Lotus Pier, then captured and tortured Jiang Cheng, Wei Wuxian grew to hate him. Even when he believed he would die at Wen Chao's hands, he was thrilled by the idea of ​​becoming a ferocious ghost haunting him. But when Wen Chao abandoned him on Mount Luanzang, Wei Wuxian not only survived but also invented his own Path of Darkness. He spent three months refining his techniques before using them on Wen Chao.

After Wei Wuxian witnessed the deaths of Song Lan, Xiao Xingchen, and A-Qing out of sympathy, he declared to the junior disciples that "Xue Yang must die."

However, Wei Wuxian once again demonstrated his skill in understanding others when confronting Xue Yang over his regret over killing Xiao Xingchen, though Xue Yang refused to acknowledge it. Ultimately, the combined efforts of Wei Wuxian, Lan Wangji, and A-Qing mortally wounded Xue Yang, though Wei Wuxian acknowledged that Xue Yang's severed hand still held the now-rotten candy Xiao Xingchen had once given him.

Wei Wuxian saw Jin Guangshan's lust for the Stygian Tiger Seal as part of his ambition to rule the cultivation world and boldly mocked him for it. Jin Guangshan apparently viewed Wei Wuxian as a serious threat to his rise to power, as Jin Guangyao later claimed his father ordered him to orchestrate Wei Wuxian's downfall.

Although Wei Wuxian threatened and humiliated Jin Zixun for capturing Wen Ning, he didn't seem to harbor any personal ill will toward him. In fact, he didn't even recognize him when Jin Zixun ambushed him at the Qiongqi Road, convinced he had inflicted the Curse of a Hundred Holes and a Thousand Sores on him. However, after Wei Wuxian accidentally used Wen Ning to kill Jin Zixuan, Wen Ning subsequently killed Jin Zixun, implying that Wei Wuxian genuinely harbored hatred for Jin Zixun when he lost control.

In his first life, Wei Wuxian treated Jin Guangyao well, lamenting that he was much better than his brother, Jin Zixuan. After his resurrection, despite Jin Guangyao being considered the prime suspect in Nie Mingjue's murder, Wei Wuxian claimed he held no ill opinion of him.

Once Wei Wuxian discovered that Jin Guangyao had indeed been hiding Nie Mingjue's severed head, he attempted to expose him. However, even after discovering that Jin Guangyao had helped orchestrate Wei Wuxian's death on his father's orders, Wei Wuxian seemed to harbor no personal ill will toward him, displaying a keen understanding of his actions and motives. For example, after Jin Guangyao's death, Wei Wuxian realized that the statue at the Guanyin Temple was built in honor of Meng Shi, not Jin Guangyao, and he later informed Lan Wangji that the real reason Jin Guangyao saved Xixi was because she was kind to her mother. Wei Wuxian also noted that the rumors society once spread about him were similar to the rumors currently circulating about Jin Guangyao, expressing skepticism toward many of them.

Wei Wuxian and Jin Zixuan had an unstable relationship for several years. In the Cloud Depths, Wei Wuxian slapped Jin Zixuan for his disrespectful words towards his fiancée Jiang Yanli, as well as for his mockery of Jiang Chen's relationship with Jiang Fengmian. As a result, a fight broke out in the Cloudy Depths. Later, during the Sun Annihilation, Wei Wuxian beat him up again in Langya for harsh words addressed to Jiang Yanli due to a misunderstanding. Despite his strong belief that Jin Zixuan was an arrogant 'peacock', Wei Wuxian reluctantly respected Jin Zixuan's bravery in defending Mian-Mian in the Turtle of the Destroyer's Cave. Wei Wuxian was delighted when Jin Zixuan and Jiang Yanli invited him to the celebration of the 1st month of Jin Ling, stating that he intended not to scold Jin Zixuan for a whole year afterwards. When he accidentally killed Jin Zexuan during an ambush on the Qiongqi Path, he reacted with horror and despair, knowing the pain he had caused his sister.

At first, Lan Qiren viewed Wei Wuxian as a problematic student who was a bad influence on the other students. For his part, Wei Wuxian simply viewed him as a stubborn and strict teacher.

After Wei Wuxian's resurrection and marriage to Lan Wangji, Wei Wuxian was well aware that Lan Qiren struggled to tolerate his presence in the Cloud Recesses, believing that he was a bad influence on his nephew.

Wei Wuxian and Nie Huaisan had become loyal friends during their studies in the Cloud Depths. Nie Huaisan had lent a pornographic book to Wei Wuxian to play on Lan Wangji and helped copy the rules of the order to Gusu Lan in order to get rid of the punishment of rewriting them. In turn, Wei Wuxian helped him in the exam until Lan Wangji caught them both. Unlike many who thought Nie Huaisang was unreasonable due to his poor grades and poor cultivation potential, Wei Wuxian believed that his friend was quite intelligent. His simple heart lay not only in cultivation, but also in other things: fans, skipping lessons, bird watching, and fishing. However, perhaps due to his recognition of Nie Huaisan's intelligence, Wei Wuxian eventually identified him as the mastermind behind Jin Guangyao's downfall, from convincing Mo Xuanyu to sacrifice himself to freeing the demonic left hand in Mo Village, which is a danger to the younger disciples; the alleged desecration of Meng Shi's body and the stabbing of Jin Guangyao. Wei Wuxian suspected that Nie Huaisang would play for political power in the future.

Wei Wuxian considered Lan Sichen to be gentle and benevolent, unlike his stern brother. During his studies in the Cloud Depths, Wei Wuxian even complained about Lan Wangji's punishment to Lan Xichen, who sympathetically told him how to use cold springs for healing. Wei Wuxian thought Lan Xichen was too kind and pure because of his constant desire to see the best in people. However, after the incident at the Guanyin Temple, Wei Wuxian suggested that Lan Wangji tell his brother the real reason why Jin Guangyao had saved Xixi if it would comfort him. After returning to the Cloud Depths as Lan Wangji's husband, Wei Wuxian inquired about Lan Xichen's well-being, knowing that he was grieving.

Upon learning that the fierce undead Song Lan was controlled by the needles Xue Yang had stabbed into his head, Wei Wuxian pulled them out as soon as Wen Ning restrained him. After he regained consciousness, Wei Wuxian sympathized with the painful memories Song Lan had endured and refused to ask him any more questions.

Wei Wuxian then gave Song Lan the qiankun bags containing the souls of A-Qing and Xiao Xingchen before asking what Song Lan intended to do. Song Lan wrote that he would wander the world, exorcising evil beings while simultaneously restoring their souls to wholeness.

Although the two had never met in person, Wei WuXian was intrigued by the fact that Xiao XingChen was from the same sect as his mother, and therefore Xiao XingChen was his shishu, or cultivation uncle.

Wen Qing reluctantly helped hide Wei Wuxian and Jiang Cheng in the Observation Tower in Yilin after the massacre in Lotus Pier, fearing for her safety and that of her brother. Wei Wuxian later convinced her to transplant his Golden Core to Jiang Cheng, though she had warned him that the chances of success were only fifty percent. Wen Qing begged Wei Wuxian for help when Wen Ning was captured by the Lanling Jin Order, and seeing her grief after her brother's death, Wei Wuxian promised her that he would awaken Wen Ning's consciousness. On Luanzang Mountain, Wen Qing often scolded Wei Wuxian for drinking, his dangerous duel with Jiang Cheng, and his penchant for spending. However, when she announced her intention to surrender to the adepts of the Koi Tower to save Wei Wuxian, she had to immobilize him with a needle to prevent him from stopping her. Her influence on Wei Wuxian can be seen in the advice he gave to Jin Ling thirteen years later: there are two disgusting words that everyone should be able to say no matter what: "Thank you" and "I'm sorry." In fact, these were the last words Wen Qing had said to him.

Ouyang Zizhen was among the junior cultivators assisted by Wei Wuxian from Yi City. Wei Wuxian considered Ouyang Zizhen to be sentimental, given his description of A-Qing's ghost, and teased him that he would be a true romantic in the future.

During the Second Siege of Mount Luanzang, Ouyang Zizhen readily defended Wei WuXian's innocence to many of the disciples present, including his father.

Lang Jingyi was the first person in Mo Village to speak kindly to the resurrected Wei Wuxian, though his kindness was quickly turned to anger when Wei Wuxian stole his spirit attraction flag. After he was returned to the Cloud Depths, Wei Wuxian would often annoy Lan Jingyi because of his lewd actions with Lan Wangji. Later, Wei Wuxian saved Lan Jingyi and the other young adepts from being poisoned by corpse poison in Yi City. Lan Jingyi seemed acutely aware of the growing romantic relationship between Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji, horrified that Wei Wuxian didn't say any meaningful last words to Lan Wangji before his fight with Xue Yang. When Wei Wuxian's true identity was revealed, Lan Jingyi expressed fear that Jin Ling would try to injure Wei Wuxian a second time, demonstrating his belief that Wei Wuxian was not the villain he was believed to be. During the Second Siege of Mount Luanzang, Wei Wuxian willingly used the talkative Lan Jingyi to find out information about the suspicious Su She. After marrying Lan Wangji, Wei Wuxian often hunted and trained young adepts, including Lan Jingyi, one of the few adepts whose name he could remember. Furthermore, although Lan Qiren forbade the youths to talk to Wei Wuxian during the dinner at the order, Lan Jingyi quickly broke the rule when they moved away from Lan Qizhen.

After Wei Wuxian showed his archery skills, Wen Ning deeply admired Wei Wuxian to the point of risking his life and the life of his sister Wen Qing to save Wei Wuxian and Jiang Cheng after the massacre at Lotus Pier. As soon as Wei Wuxian learned that Wen Ning had been taken prisoner by the Lanling Jin Order after the Sun Annihilation, he disrupted a private banquet to start a rescue operation. When he discovered that Wen Ning had already been killed, he raised him as a Dire Dead and used him to kill several guards. Although Wei Wuxian had originally attacked Wen Ning after Jin Zixuan's death, he knew that he was the culprit himself, as Wen Ning was only a tool in his hands at the time. In the end, Wen Qing had to paralyze Wei Wuxian to allow Wen Ning and herself to surrender to the adepts of the Koi Tower for their supposed death. Not long after resurrecting Wei Wuxian in Mo Xuanyu's body, he was surprised to see Wen Ning respond to his call to defeat the Goddess Statue, proving that he had not been burned as Jin Guangshan had claimed. Wei Wuxian eventually freed his chains and pulled the nails out of his head that controlled Wen Ning, allowing his friend to regain consciousness. Wei Wuxian was worried that Wen Ning had no purpose in life, as he had followed Wen Qing or Wei Wuxian all his life. When Wen Ning finally decided to break up with Wei Wuxian after the incident at the Guanyin Temple, Wei Wuxian felt both sadness at his friend's departure and happiness at his independence.

Wei Wuxian met his nephew for the first time shortly after his resurrection. Since Mo Xuanyu was also Jin Lin's uncle, Jin Ling treated him with disdain, and not knowing who Jin Ling was, Wei Wuxian inadvertently ridiculed the fact that Jin Ling was an orphan and had no one to raise him. At that time, he did not know about it. For his bullying, Wei Wuxian slapped himself in the face after learning Jin Ling's identity, and despite Jin Ling's continued hostility, constantly intervened to save his life during night hunts, including during his reckless battle with the Goddess Statue and his encounter with the Stone Fortress. As a result, Jin Ling began to soften towards the person he considered to be Mo Xuanyu, even saving him from his uncle Jiang Cheng, who considered him Wei Wuxian. Upon learning his true identity, a distraught Jin Ling stabbed him with a sword. However, during the Second Siege of Mount Luanzang, Jin Ling seemed uncomfortable remembering that he had injured Wei Wuxian, and had lost his hostility. When Jin Ling almost died in the Guanyin Temple, Wei Wuxian said that he couldn't stand it if his sister's son died in front of his eyes. Eventually, after the events at Guanyin Temple, Jin Ling decided to forgive Wei Wuxian for his unintentional role in his parents' deaths. Unlike his uncle Jiang Cheng, Jin Ling maintained a friendly relationship with Wei Wuxian, which allowed him to continue to teach and advise on night hunting, as well as address him with a gentle "A-Ling". During the night hunt at Bai Wei's residence, Wuxian expressed his pride in Jin Ling's growing up.

In his first life, Wei Wuxian knew Lan Sizhui as Wen Yuan, a child among the fifty remnants of the Qishan Wen Order on Luanzang Mountain. Wei Wuxian liked to spend time with Wen Yuan, take him to the city, bury him in the ground, saying that he would grow up very soon, and let the kid chew on his Chenqing flute. When they were reunited after his resurrection, Wei Wuxian admired Lan Sizhui's talent as an adept and leader before he learned the story of his origins. He often advised Lan Sizhui on night hunting, and trusted him to guide the young adepts in dangerous situations. The two experienced a heartfelt reunion after Lan Sizhui introduced himself as Wen Yuan, and Wei Wuxian continued to train him in night hunting after returning to the Cloud Depths as Lan Wangji's husband.

Yu Ziyuan was often hostile towards Wei Wuxian, angry that her husband preferred him to his son, Jiang Cheng. However, although she whipped Wei Wuxian with Zi Dian to appease the Qishan Wen Order, she refused their request to cut off his arm, and Wei Wuxian later realized that the lashes she inflicted were nowhere near as strong as she claimed. Her last words, Wei Wuxian, asked him to promise to protect Jiang Cheng even at the cost of his life. He kept his promise, paying a heavy price for it. It was devastated after her death.

Jiang Fengmian Jiang Fengmian treated Wei Wuxian like his own son. Because of his love for Cangse Sanren and his friendship with Wei Changze, Jiang Fengmian brought Wei Wuxian to Lotus Wharf after finding him on the street after his parents died. Wei Wuxian called him "Uncle Jiang" and was devastated to learn that he had died during the massacre at Lotus Pier.

Wei Changze Wei Changze was the father of Wei Wuxian. Although Wei Wuxian didn't remember much about him due to their early deaths, he remembered his father as a quiet man who let him ride on his shoulders.

Cangse Sangren Wei Wuxian's mother died with his father, and one of Wei Wuxian's few memories was of Cangse Sangren sitting on a donkey and smiling at him as he rode on his father's shoulders.

Wei Wuxian cared deeply for his shijie, even punching her fiancé Jin Zixuan for insulting her. Jiang Yanli, on the other hand, loved him very much, she made him soup and refined the lotus seeds. Jiang Yanli defended Wei Wuxian as her brother when others insulted him, and even after he distanced himself from the Yunmeng Jiang Order, she came to Yiling to show him her wedding dress and ask him to choose a polite name for her unborn son. Despite her grief and hatred for Wei Wuxian, who had caused her husband's death, Jiang Yanli still insisted on seeing him again. In the Bloody Massacre of the Nightless City, she was the only person capable of reasoning with him. Wei Wuxian almost stopped the onslaught of the dire dead when she gave her life to protect him, and the pain of her death caused him to use the Stygian Tiger Seal to start the bloodshed.

After the first quarrels over Wei Wuxian's acquaintance with their family, Jiang Chen and Wei Wuxian became close friends and brothers. Although Jiang Chen had often scolded Wei Wuxian for being reckless, he cared deeply for his brother. Jiang Cheng insisted on carrying Wei Wuxian when he was beaten as punishment, much to Wei Wuxian's relief. Wei Wuxian insisted that when Jiang Cheng became the head of the order, he would become his right-hand man. They would be the Two Prides of Yunmen to match the Two Jade Gus. After the massacre at Lotus Pier and the burning of Jiang Chen's golden core, Wei Wuxian insisted on transplanting his own golden core to Jiang Cheng. He had endured two nights and a day of surgery without anesthesia, with a fifty percent chance that Jiang Cheng would be able to cultivate again. However, he had never told Jiang Cheng the truth, afraid to see his tears and anger. Their relationship soured due to Wei Wuxian insisting on protecting the remnants of the Qishan Wen Order when Jiang Cheng refused due to political costs, which led to Wei Wuxian fleeing from the Yunmeng Jiang Order. However, Jiang Cheng took his sister Jiang Yang Li to visit Wei Wuxian before her wedding and even suggested that she ask their ex-brother to give her unborn child a polite name. After the deaths of Jin Zixuan and Jiang Yang Li, Jiang Cheng accused Wei Wuxian of killing both of them. He led the First Siege of Mount Luanzang to kill his former brother, and even after his resurrection, he remained hostile towards him. However, once the truth about his golden core was revealed, Jiang Cheng returned Wei Wuxian's flute to Chenqing, and although the two were not reconciled, there was no longer any animosity between them.

During his youth, Wei Wuxian often made fun of the stern Lan Wangji, such as slipping pornography into a book Wangji was reading, or claiming that his forehead ribbon was narken when it wasn't. However, in the summer, after studying in the Cloud Depths, Wei Wuxian constantly talked about Lan Wangji to the disciples of the Yunmeng Jiang Order in the Lotus Pier, implying that he might have liked Lan Wangji's company more than he had thought. Although Jiang Cheng firmly believed that Lan Wangji hated Wei Wuxian, Wei Wuxian didn't hate him in return, and even offered to carry Lan Wangji after learning that his leg was broken. Their relationship was somewhat shaken after Wei Wuxian took the Path of Darkness, Lan Wangji considered his actions to be unnecessarily cruel and bloody. However, even though they often quarreled, they maintained a neutral relationship during the Sun's Annihilation. After Wei Wuxian became an outcast for his defense of the remnants of the Qishan Wen Order, his fall eventually led to the Bloody Massacre in the Nightless City. In his serious condition, Wei Wuxian stated that he knew that he would always have to fight Lan Wangji. However, Lan Wangji still saved him after the battle, although Wei Wuxian was too badly injured to remember any of this. After his resurrection in Mo Xuanyu's body, Wei Wuxian often tried to use Mo Xuanyu's reputation as a chisel to turn Lan Wangji away from him. However, Lan Wangji's confident help and protection began to warm his heart towards Lan Wangji However, Wei Wuxian didn't pay attention to the fact that he loved Lan Wangji until Jiang Cheng accused him, and even after that, he didn't pay attention to the fact that Lan Wangji loved him until Lan Xichen revealed the truth. However, immediately afterward, Wei Wuxian publicly declared his love, assuring Lan Wangji that he "really wanted to sleep with him." They married shortly after the incident at Guanyin Temple and maintain a loving and passionate relationship.

After the death of his parents, Wei Ying was orphaned and lived on the streets, with no hope for a better life. However, he later met Jiang Fenmian, a friend of his mother, who had been looking for him all this time when he found out about what had happened. Wei Ying was taken to Lotus Pier, where he met his new family. Yu Ziyuan immediately disliked him. Jiang Cheng, because of his father, who paid much more attention to the new member of the family and clearly loved him more, was also not happy with Wei Ying at first, unlike his sister Jiang Yanli, who was a sweet and kind girl, but changed his attitude and they became very close. While studying in Gusu, Wei Wuxian met Lan Zhan and understood exactly who would be the target of his jokes. The desire to have fun and break the rules was too strong and did not leave him, although the hero sincerely wanted Lan Wangji to become his friend. During his training, Wei Ying had already begun to think that the Dark Path could be used much more effectively than the Light Path and there was nothing wrong with it, but his ideas were not accepted. But doubts had already found a place in his heart, and others were unable to convince Wei Wuxian that his choice was wrong. At that time, the Qishan Wen clan was in power, whose dictatorship was so terrible that other clans of spellcasters began a war against them, not the least of which was played by our hero, who by that time already used the Dark Forces at a high level, which amazed and frightened the others. The war was called "Shot in the Sun", since the symbol of the dictatorial clan was the sun, and ended with the victory of the rebels. However, everything was not so rosy, and in the face of fear due to the immense strength of Wei Ying, who by that time was already known among the spellcasters as Elder Yiling, all his merits were forgotten. The Dark Path led the hero to his death, he was killed by his own shidi. For thirteen years, Wei Ying was dead, until thanks to the ritual of voluntary body donation, which he had once invented, the hero managed to be reborn in the body of Mo Xuanyu.

Wei Wuxian was an energetic and mischievous person who cared little about rules and decency. He liked to tease others and flirt with girls. However, with his carefree attitude towards life, Wei Wuxian deeply cared for those he loved. He possessed a spirit of self-sacrifice that ranged from taking moderate risks, such as smuggling alcohol to his friends in the Cloud Depths, to being willing to cut off his arm if it meant appeasing the Qishan Wen Order's anger towards the Yunmeng Jiang Order. In fact, he went so far as to transplant his own Golden Core to his nemesis Jiang Cheng after Jiang Cheng's own core was burned. During the transplant, Wei Wuxian underwent the entire operation while conscious and without painkillers for two nights and one day. Clever and resourceful, Wei Wuxian openly asked Lan Qiren if there was a way to use dark energy instead of suppressing it. Once he was abandoned in the Dead Highlands without his golden core, he absorbed a huge amount of dark energy, and within three months, he was able to destroy the entire surveillance camp. Wei Wuxian had a strong sense of justice. For example, he quickly joined the battle against Wen Chao in the Corruptor Turtle's Cave, despite the risk. He showed courage in defending the innocent, regardless of their surname or social prejudices. However, as a result of his sense of justice, he was capable of ruthlessness at times: he tortured Wen Chao to death for his role in the Lotus Pier massacre, used the Dark Path to kill their own families and friends with the corpses of members of the Qishan Wen Order, and eventually used the Stygian Tiger Seal in battle with three thousand followers of the Qishan Wen Order after the death of his sister Jiang Yang Li.

In his original body, Wei Wuxian was considered quite handsome, ranking fourth on the list of the best young masters of his generation. The tips of his eyes and eyebrows usually retained a hint of a smirk, though he had become noticeably colder and paler after using the Path of Darkness for a long time. In his youth, he wore the purple robes of the Yunmeng Jiang Order. He tied his hair with a red ribbon in a high ponytail. However, after turning to the Dark Path, Wei Wuxian began to wear black robes with red edging. He tied a small part of the hair on the back of his head with a ribbon. His Chenqing flute hung around his waist, adorned with a blood-red tassel with a jade ornament. After being reborn, in Mo Xuanyu's body, Wei Wuxian considered himself a handsome youth with a young, albeit unfamiliar face. However, Mo Xuanyu's body was significantly weaker than his original body. In addition, it has become 6 centimeters lower.

Suppression Technique: Since the sounds of the seven-stringed guqin were the most powerful, Lan Wangji was familiar with this melody, which suppressed dark energy. Silence Spell: As a member of the Gusu Lang Order, Lang Wangji could use this spell to silence those around him for thirty minutes, or remove the spell if he saw fit.

Strength: As a member of the Gusu Lan Order, Lan Wangji possessed incredible arm strength, performing many handstands. In adolescence, he could already drag two peers by the scruff of the neck with one hand. At the peak of his adult strength, his non-leading hand could lift a wooden coffin, two adult male corpses inside this coffin, a large solid stone Guanyin statue on top of the coffin, and Wei Wuxian on the statue together. Self-cultivation: Lan Wangji in his generation was considered a talented adept with an exceptionally high level of cultivation. Swordsmanship: Lan Wangji was an excellent swordsman, he was taught from his youth by his uncle Lan Qiren. Perception: Lan Wangji was quite perceptive, as he was the first to realize that the Water Abyss had led them to the center of Lake Biling, and locked in the Corruptor Turtle Cave, he was one of the first to conclude that there was another way. Archery: As a teenager, Lan Wangji ranked fourth in archery among all the adepts of his generation. When Wei Wuxian left the competition early, he believed that Lan Wangji should have been even higher. Techniques of the Gusu Lan Order Interrogation: Lan Wangji masterfully used Interrogation to communicate with the souls of the dead to such an extent that the spirits could not lie in their answers. Summoning: Along with his elders of the Gusu Lan Order, Lang Wangji participated in the Demonic Left Hand Spell, and after the summoned dark energy became too strong, he was the only one who could still stand. Death String Technique: Even though this technique was originally created to kill renegades, Lan Wangji used this technique to kill the Ruinous Turtle along with Wei Wuxian. Resting Technique: Lan Wangji played this song to suppress the dark energy of the Demonic Left Arm and the rest of the Dire Dead's body. Suppression Technique: Since the sounds of the seven-stringed guqin were the most powerful, Lan Wangji was familiar with this melody, which suppressed dark energy.

Lan Wangji is a person who can be described with the phrase "there are devils in a quiet pool", because although Lan Zhan at the beginning of the story seems to us to be a very cold and detached person, in fact, things are not at all like that, which, in fact, is revealed in the course of the story. For the most part, Lan Zhan is a secretive, reserved, but stubborn person with a strong character. But underneath the indifference lies a very sensitive and emotional personality. Lan Wangji made his reputation widespread in the Sun Annihilation campaign against Shan Wen's Qi Order. After this and the first siege of Mount Luanzang for the next thirteen years, Lang Wangji would become known as "always being where chaos happens." It is mentioned that during the thirteen years between Wei Wuxian's death and his reincarnation in Mo Xuanyu's body, he is described as if he spent those years meditating, but in reality, he was in mourning due to a strong feeling of love for Wei Wuxian. From his youth one could notice traces of a strong conscience and good upbringing. Wei Wuxian described him as a person who was polite, righteous and well-versed in etiquette, not wanting to break the rules even if he was demoted in punishment. In his youth, this was tempered by some innocence (being too gullible), he took Wei Wuxian's claim that lotuses with a stem would taste better than without it, however, he was also deceived into collecting pornographic books by the same person. He is a straightforward person who always follows the rules, although it turns out that while he usually follows the rules, he also has his own sense of justice that he will follow, even if it means not obeying the rules. He is deeply jealous of Wei Wuxian's occasional flirtation with women, and he keeps rabbits. Although the exact time he fell in love with Wei Wuxian is unknown, it is obvious that it happened during his youth when Wei Wuxian was studying in the Gu Su Lan Order, and that his feelings for him are quite strong.
