In Genshin Impact, Rex Lapis Is Actually My Brother-in-Law

3,700 years ago, Guihong transmigrated to Teyvat. On the orders of Cloud Retainer, he went down the mountain to help his senior sister, Ganyu, build Liyue.

Because his senior sister was too strict and he didn't want to return to the overly chatty adeptus, he was reluctantly given the identity of one of the Liyue Qixing, the Alcor. He wandered the mortal world, listened to opera, and strolled around with his birds, witnessing Liyue's many changes alongside Rex Lapis Zhongli, the Qixing's secretary, and his senior sister Ganyu...

It wasn't until a new Tianquan, Ningguang, took office, a System bent on tormenting him inexplicably appeared, and he learned the absurd truth that Rex Lapis was his brother-in-law, that the story truly began.

Ganyu: My slacking junior brother suddenly got his act together. The outstanding talent he helped nurture is so impressive that I can hardly believe my eyes.

Ningguang: So you got close to me when I was a child just to raise me until I became one of the Qixing, then hold out your hand and ask me for Mora?

Keqing: I used to think you were a shameless fellow, but at least you were ambitious. It took me a while to realize that you cultivated us, the Liyue Qixing, just so you could stay pure and broke, slack off even more, and get away with it. You bastard, that's utterly unreasonable!

Yelan: It's strange. Guihong does slack off, but somehow he manages to get the important things done while doing it. He's the first person in history to pull that off. It's incredible. He's an interesting man.

Zhongli: Do something decent for once! So, after Rex Lapis abdicated, my friend Guihong recommended me, the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor's consultant, to take his place as Rex Lapis...!
