Genshin Impact: A Thousand Eyes, Never Foolish

This book has been retitled Genshin Impact: The Harbinger's Cage.

[First-person narration + everyday political intrigue + no female lead + no romance + BE]

Ning Yi was an ordinary, overworked college student. Then one day, for no apparent reason, he transmigrated into the world of Genshin Impact and became a half-Liyuean, half-Snezhnayan. He formed deep bonds with the brothers and sisters who lived alongside him in the House of the Hearth. But his good fortune didn't last: his only older brother died on the battlefield, leaving Ning Yi, the second-born, to shoulder his responsibilities. Then the Tsaritsa of Snezhnaya suddenly ordered him to become a new Harbinger: the Twelfth Seat, “Audience,” Aellius! Ning Yi had a strange feeling that he had somehow been dragged into a war against the Heavenly Principles...

Ning Yi: “There are too many things beyond my control in this position as a Harbinger. I only hope that after experiencing and witnessing so much of life's cruelty for myself, I can still keep my head clear and stay true to my original ideals... Who am I, really?”
