Plot

Wen!Wei Ying joins her siblings, Wen Qing and Wen Ning, on their spy mission to Cloud Recesses and attends the Lan lectures. Lan Zhan forms a crush the moment she sees Wen Ying, and is terrified over being attracted to someone so chaotic and probably-evil. She is infuriated and horny over everything Wen Ying does, which includes: being Smart, asking Lan Zhan to supervise her in the library, breaking the wards, writing notes on how to fix the wards, and looking like that. Wen Ying also develops a crush, but she thinks that Lan Zhan hates her. Lan Zhan tries really hard to hate her.

On a late night snooping expedition, Wen Ying breaks the wards (again) and sneaks into the back hill, where she accidentally comes across Lan Zhan bathing in the cold springs. When she steps into the cold springs to hand Lan Zhan new notes on breaking ward improvements, they are both yanked underwater and fall into the Cold Pond Cave. Lan Yi appears and explains to them the threat of the Yin Iron. Wen Ying confesses that she was sent on a mission to retrieve the fragment from Cloud Recesses for Wen Ruohan, but vows to do her best to keep it out of his hands. She has already been planning to overthrow him.

After explaining both the Yin Iron and the Wen siblings' position to Lan Xichen, Lan Zhan receives clearance to take Wen Ying and company along on a Yin Iron fetch quest once the lectures end. On the way, Wen Ying convinces Lan Zhan to try a sip of wine. Lan Zhan becomes drunk at their campfire, resulting in cuteness such as flopping into Wen Ying's lap and pulling her along into bed when it becomes sleeptime. During this, Wen Chao's owl happens to pass overhead and observe some of the lap-flopping cuteness. The next day, the group (now joined by Nie Huaisang) find and meet the Lady Florist in her sequestered home. Once they explain the situation, show her Lan Yi's Yin Iron fragment, and convince her of their good intentions, Flower Lady gives them her shard as well. Now thatWith Flower Lady no longer needs to spendexerting most of her power onto containingcontain the resentful energy of the Yin Iron, she easily kicks Wen Chao's ass when he later shows up.
