Honkai: Star Rail: I’ll Embrace Death to Keep Those I’ve Lost Safe

One female lead + original and heavily altered plot + not a power fantasy + slow burn + healing What he sees is not the world as it is now, but a future soaked in blood. The Astral Express's journey ahead and his companions' smiling faces will all be shattered in the tragedy known as “tomorrow.” To turn this fated ending around, he chooses the loneliest path: to become the “wedge” jammed in the gears of destiny. He will weave lies with his own hands and drive people apart, pushing away everyone's trust and warmth. He is willing to walk alone through an abyss of misunderstanding and hatred. May this body become a wedge, and hold back tomorrow's sorrow. Even if the world despises him, even if he sinks into eternal night, as long as the people he cherishes remain safe, he will bear every sin and become the “villain” forgotten by history. As the shadows of the future close in and old companions turn their swords against him, can he pry open a glimmer of hope for the people he loves from the narrow space between despair? At the end of sacrifice, will he find redemption, or be utterly annihilated?
