Tales of the Golden Courtyard

[Honkai Impact 3rd] [Slice of Life] [Romance] Game developer Bai Yi suffers a setback in his career. Taking his mother's advice, he heads to Changkong City to clear his head and stays at the Golden Courtyard, run by his mother's old friend, Elysia. As he walks along a cherry-blossom-lined slope, an accident brings him face-to-face with the pink-haired girl Elysia. The runaway stroller holds no baby, but a little dog. Elysia rushes to stop it and accidentally falls, while Bai Yi manages to steady the stroller in time. At a glance, the girl recognizes him: he was her childhood companion at the Sunflower Orphanage. Nearly twenty years after their last meeting, Elysia warmly brings Bai Yi back to the Golden Courtyard and adds him to the residents' group chat. There, he meets a colorful cast of neighbors: a taciturn boy, a hot-tempered chef, a genius inventor, a sharp-tongued scientist, a gentle intern doctor, and the landlord, Elysia, a popular singer. In the courtyard embraced by cherry blossoms, Bai Yi gradually rediscovers his love of game development, and begins to sense that a secret lies behind Elysia's radiant smile. "No matter when or where, Elysia will always answer your expectations." This is a heartwarming slice-of-life story about reunion, creativity, and companionship.
