Genshin Impact: Human? I Can't Pretend to Be One

Also known as: “Did the Light Archon Unmask Himself Today?” and “The Light Archon Searches All of Teyvat for a Good Place to Retire”

All pairings are with Zhaoyin (Helios, the Light Archon). Everyone is drawn to him; the protagonist is the most handsome and beautiful. The author loves lingering romantic tension and writes wherever inspiration leads. Ship whoever you like, just don't fight.

A remarkable traveler has recently appeared in Teyvat. With black hair and dark eyes, he is utterly captivating.

No one knows that this traveler, who roams far and wide in search of “light essence,” is actually Helios, an ancient god of light who has slept for a thousand years. Every fragment of light essence is key to restoring his divine power.

But such power always comes at a price. After fighting at full strength, the sight of his fragile yet powerful side is more captivating than any scenery. He is never short of ardent or secret admirers...
