Things that were before (смешанная)

Nie Mingjue enjoys, as he will later wistfully remember it, a picture-perfect childhood.
Born the first son and only child to a well-respected, powerful sect leader and his just as accomplished wife, he grows up in prosperity and takes to the family traditions from the moment he can walk. Even as a toddler he tries to mimic the disciples’ moves with sticks and plays at night hunting while chasing rabbits in the mountains with his friends.
Or: The trials and tribulations of Nie Mingjue: growing up, meeting and befriending Lan Xichen (and this turning into something more), his troubled little brother, losing his parents, and becoming sect leader too soon.
