Synopsis[]
Lan Wangji treats Wei Wuxian and Wen Yuan to dinner. He informs Wei Wuxian that Jin Zixuan and Jiang Yanli are engaged. Wei Wuxian is sorrowful to realize that Jiang Cheng did not tell him, and that he could not even go regardless.
Suddenly, his Warning Array Talisman begins to burn, signaling trouble at the Burial Mounds. Wei Wuxian, Lan Wangji, and A-Yuan rush back to find that Wen Ning's Puppet has broken loose.
Lan Wangji plays his guqin while Wei Wuxian strikes different positions on his body, and eventually, Wen Ning awakens with his consciousness intact.
Wei Wuxian shows Lan Wangji around the Demon-Quelling Cave, explaining that the Yin Tiger Tally withdrew the resentful energy from Wen Ning's body. Before leaving, Lan Wangji asks Wei Wuxian if he can control his cultivation, and he insists that he can.
After walking Lan Wangji out of the Burial Mounds, Wei Wuxian returns to find that the remnants of the Qishan Wen Clan have prepared a celebration. Wei Wuxian has is delighted to drink liquor with Uncle Four, but after getting drunk, he recalls the first time he met Lan Wangji, sneaking Emperor's Smile into the Cloud Recesses. He wonders if he will ever have the chance to taste it again, and mourns that he cannot help his sister with her wedding.
Meanwhile, word spreads that Wei Wuxian has made the strongest Puppet yet, and Wen Ning is given the nickname "Ghost General." People begin to imitate his techniques and pretend to be his disciples.
On the Burial Mounds, however, Wei Wuxian causes a minor accident in his attempts to develop the Compass of Ill Winds, and plans to go to Yiling to sell the turnips they have harvested.[1]

In the novel, Lan Wangji use his guqin while Wei Wuxian used Chenqing to subdue Wen Ning, rather than striking different positions on Wen Ning's body.[2]
Although Wei Wuxian and Uncle Four do imbibe wine during their celebration, Emperor's Smile comes up in the context of both agreeing that it is the best wine they had ever tasted, not in Wei Wuxian's memories of Lan Wangji.[2]
