"Wangxian" (忘羡, Wàngxiàn) is a song that Lan Wangji composes for Wei Wuxian. Its name is a portmanteau of Lan Wangji's and Wei Wuxian's courtesy names.

Use[]

The song is first played while Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji are trapped in a cave on Mount Muxi after killing the Xuanwu of Slaughter. Lan Wangji plays the song only once, and only Wei Wuxian hears it.[1] However, he loses consciousness before hearing the name of the song.[2]

Shortly after his resurrection, Wei Wuxian plays the song on Dafan Mountain to calm down a berserk Wen Ning. As no one but Wei Wuxian had heard the song, Lan Wangji recognizes him.[3]

Wei Wuxian, however, does not know how Lan Wangji recognized him until after his escape from Golden Carp Tower following the exposure of his identity. He then plays the song on his flute for Lan Wangji to hear on their way to the Burial Mounds, and Lan Wangji confirms the truth.[4]

Towards the end of their honeymoon, Wei Wuxian plays the song for Lan Wangji. He then suggests almost ten names for the song, including "Love Song of Lan Zhan and Wei Ying," and "Everyday Song of Hanguang-Jun and the Yiling Patriarch." Lan Wangji then states that there is a name, "Wangxian." Wei Wuxian bursts into laughter, declaring it a wonderful name.[5]

Trivia[]

  • The "ship name" for Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji also takes its name from the song.
