So confused

I’d say read the book, it gives more proper explanations since the manga just does quick brief explanations. ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶

reading the light novel might help a lot

Thank you!

The Demonic Sect patriarch, Wei WuXian got betrayed by his dearest junior, Jiang Cheng who conspired with the other 4 powerful Sects to destroy his ‘den’. During the siege, WuXian’s powers backfired & destroyed him to dust..
13 Years later, Mo XuanYu got f_cked up life as being gay, became lunatic and couldn’t withstand it anymore. He somehow could set a ritual, sacrificed his body for WuXian to grant him wish. If WuXian didn’t fulfill the wish in time, his soul would be completely annihilated. He woke up with 4 cuts on his wrists, means the lunatic XuanYu had 4 desires but didn't tell..!!

• Let’s see how our humorous, cute & kind-hearted WuXian was hated by millions in his previous life and how he’ll redeem in this new life in body of the insane cut-sleeve.. how and since when the Seme, Lan WangJi has found out that his precious fabulous WuXian's in that lunatic's body!! BTW The novel is super popular BL till it's been adapted into Manhua, Anime & Chinese Drama..

martial practitioners seek glory and fame, so they will drive spirits, moving bodies everywhere, here, rumors and complaints of villagers (because of the victims) draw them into the mountain.

They divide into two distinct groups, those belonging to a sect such as Lanlinling clan (yellow habit with a peony blossom, leader= Jin GuangYao: spoiler= a cruel bastard: not here yet), YunmengJiang Sect (in purple, leader= Jiang Cheng =Wei Wuxian's adoptive brother and friend in his past life: here), GusuLan Sect (dressed in white and a headband, leader Lan XiChen= Lan Wangji's brother: not here yet, in chap 26 manga), QingheNie Sect (in black, leader actual= Nie HuaiSang= little brother of the former chief: not here yet) and those who do not belong to any sect martial!
