Genshin Impact: A Secluded Immortal of a Thousand Years, Old Friend to the Seven Archons

After transmigrating to Teyvat thousands of years ago, Su Yue's multi-identity System malfunctioned and killed him, leaving him with hidden adeptal powers rivaling those of Rex Lapis. By slacking off, he became the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor's perennial consultant: Zhongli's nemesis, Hu Tao's beloved, Xiangling's recipe mentor, Keqing's emotional anchor, and Ganyu's savior. On Lantern Rite, just after he had soothed a sulking Hu Tao, he turned around and saw Raiden Shogun Ei descending on Liyue on a flying carpet. Behind her was the impoverished poet Venti, stopped at the entrance by Liuli Pavilion's guards.

The System's task list still had a few absurd objectives left: resurrect Raiden Makoto, help Zhongli remove his erosion, and win over the Heavenly Principles. He crushed his wineglass. "Zhongli, I'll play along with your fake death, but the stone fragments of Guizhong's remains are mine." Zhongli smiled over his tea. "Deal."

As Ei clutched her milk and dango and coyly hid behind him, Venti was passed out on the steps of the Jade Chamber, while Hu Tao was calculating how to give him a twenty percent discount. Su Yue gazed at the sea of lanterns and fireworks, suddenly remembering the night four thousand years ago when he formed an alliance with the Seven in Jueyun Karst.

After living this long, how are you all still as rowdy as you were back then?
