Welcome to the sanest character in Mo Dao Zu Shi / The Untamed: lol, kidding! This is a Yi City trio centric story.
The background, full of spoilers for Mo Dao Zu Shi and Chen Qing Ling (The Untamed).
Xue Yang, a sixteen-year -old psychopath of at first mysterious origin has perpetrated a clan massacre and has been detained and send for execution by Xiao Xingchen and Song Lan, rogue cultivators who have a lot of Daoist iconography (one is in white and one in black, they both carry the horsetail whisk ( www.jinli.com.au/blog/the-fuchen-horsetail-whisk-a-taiji-study-in-the-yin-and-yang) etc. Xue Yang is not best pleased by this and once he manages to get away (as he does), he plans his revenge on them.
At first he attacks Song Lan, blinding him. Xiao Xingchen (who was once the student of an Immortal, Baoshan Sanren) goes back to the mountain (it's always a mountain) to cure his friend. But the only way of doing so is by giving his own eyes away, which he does.
Some time later, Xiao Xingchen is doing his wandering blind cultivator schtick and meets a young girl who is pretending to be blind, and comes across a badly beaten Xue Yang (who's been double-crossed). Never realising who he's rescuing, XXC saves Xue Yang, and a friendship ensues - a friendship based on lies and deception, with Xue Yang tricking XXC into doing very bad things.
Things come to a head, and Xiao Xingchen ends up committing suicide, making Xue Yang lose it for real, and spend ten years trying to bring him back to life.
In the meantime (yeah, this is just a side-plot in the bigger Mo Dao Zu Shi story), the main character has also died and is in the process of being resurrected.
And that's where I begin (read the warning tags - even though I always use choose not to warn, there's still a few tags.:

Summary:
Xue Yang has been trying for ten years to get Xiao Xingchen back. Ten years, without any result, positive or negative. So, Jin Guangyao's bullshit errand to a village at the ass-end of the world isn't high on his list of priorities.
Little does he suspect that what he'll find there will change his life - forever.
