Honkai: Star Rail: What Should I Do If Lady Jingliu Looks at Me Like That?

[Sweet Romance + Everyday Life + Multiple Heroines + Feel-Good Power Fantasy + Aeon Chess Game + Path of Nihility]

“Jingliu, Sword Champion, why do you always bring Lu Che along to help manage the sword workshop? There are rumors he’s a hidden powerhouse who can keep the Xianzhou sword cultivators in line.”

“Don’t talk nonsense. Ask again and I’ll break your sword. He’s just a lucky fragment of Nihility who happens to help suppress my Mara-Struck state.” Behind this exchange, which spread throughout the Xianzhou, was the coincidence of Lu Che being dropped into the world of Honkai: Star Rail by the [Nihility Bond System].

At the time, Jingliu was being consumed by her Mara-Struck state, and her sword, “Moon Soul,” was covered in black cracks. Seizing the opportunity, he used the [Bond Resonance] ability unlocked by the System to rewind time a hundred times and repair the blade with Nihility energy, claiming it was “an unconscious gift from the Aeon IX.” From then on, he became the “portable soul-calming talisman” Jingliu could never be without.

The System posed its ultimate question: “Can Nihility’s ‘meaninglessness’ give rise to a meaning of its own through bonds?” It came with the core abilities [Bond Resonance] (synchronize with the states of people nearby and unlock compatible skills) and [Nihility Manifestation] (turn emotional bonds into personal protective items). The deeper the bond, the more absurdly powerful the abilities.

Lu Che had only wanted to keep a low profile and coast through life. But the morning light in the sword workshop, the starlit walkways, the sweet aroma of the cake shop, the celestial paths in the Palace of Divination, and the little moments of everyday companionship gradually warmed the Nihility. Looking at the friends who stayed by his side through thick and thin, Lu Che suddenly understood: the value of “meaninglessness” was precisely this down-to-earth mutual care.

Now, if he still says he’s just lucky, will the people who have always stayed by his side believe him? Honkai: Star Rail: What should I do about Ms. Herta looking at me like that?
