[Updates every other day according to the ranking schedule, around 10 p.m. If I can't update, I'll ask for leave in advance. Please add it to your collection! Also, here's a preview of my upcoming novel, The Rock King's Princess Takes on Teyvat. The blurb is at the end.]
As the contracts Zhongli offers you grow more and more involved... Wait a minute, why is it me you want???
Main story = Main arc + Tales of Old
Main Arc Summary:
After years of traveling around Teyvat, you and Zhongli have become old acquaintances.
In your eyes, Rex Lapis has always been mysterious and omnipotent, so it never occurred to you that one day he would be in dire straits and ask you for help.
Even less did you expect that you would accidentally marry him one day.
Three times, in fact.
After the third wedding ceremony, your relationship became a little complicated.
When you realized your feelings for this gentleman, who was at least six thousand years old, weren't entirely pure, you felt inexplicably guilty, as if you were blaspheming a god.
That is, until you discovered that this radiant, noble deity seemed to have feelings for you, too.
Well, then, no problem.
Tales of Old Summary:
This is a story from six thousand years ago.
Back then, the celestial star stood aloof from the world, untouched by earthly concerns. He knew nothing of human suffering and understood neither love nor hate.
So you told him, “Human feelings are a muddled account that can never be settled. If you're willing, I'll tell you all about them, little by little.”
Later, you took his hand and led him into the mortal world, slowly measuring the fragile yet brilliant souls of humankind.
You never understood why the Lord of Geo, the celestial star, would become Rex Lapis in later generations if he had originally planned to leave.
Not until doomsday arrived and sorrow filled the land.
You looked up at the heavens and watched the god bend down to cradle this blazing human world.
Reading Guide:
1. Happy ending, BG romance, female-oriented.
2. Couples: Zhongli x you, Celestial Star x you. You are the Traveler, not Lumine. No twins. Primarily written in second person.
3. Main arc + Tales of Old + extras. Expected to be a little over 200,000 words (it's gotten much longer than expected, probably under 500,000 by the end). I'll try to update regularly and guarantee a complete story.
4. Includes original content and personal headcanons.
Opening timeline: After traveling around Nod-Krai, before going to Snezhnaya.
Setting references: Story content up to Version 6.3 (this year's Lantern Rite).
The main arc follows the relationship from friends to lovers. It follows the original story, but at heart it's still a sweet romance about dating the old gentleman.
Tales of Old attempts to sketch the “first half” of the old gentleman's life and tell the story of the Lord of Geo, the celestial star.
This story is dedicated to every “you” who loves Zhongli.
This is my first story as a newcomer, so please go easy on me.
Coming soon: The Rock King's Princess Takes on Teyvat
Blurb:
As the daughter of the famous Traveler and Rex Lapis, Rockli can pretty much do whatever she wants in Teyvat.
What's more, the Anemo Archon next door has doted on her since childhood and is her very best playmate.
Her Uncle Anemo indulges her in everything, but he never lets her drink.
It wasn't until her eighteenth birthday that she finally got to taste her first drink.
After that one sip, she collapsed on the spot. When she finally got back up, she discovered she'd traveled thirty years into the past.
Her father was still the Geo Archon, her mother hadn't come to Teyvat yet, and she hadn't even been born.
After thinking it over, Rockli decided to go to Mondstadt and settle the score with the culprit.
Later, Rockli dragged a certain bard along to travel around Teyvat, following in her mother's footsteps from Mondstadt all the way to Snezhnaya.
Of course, she had to skip Liyue. She didn't want her father catching her in the act.
At first, Rockli only wanted to see what the familiar uncles and aunties from the future had been like in the past. She never expected to leave behind a story of her own in this era.
Investing in Dawn Winery, founding Yae Publishing House, funding the Akademiya, getting herself locked up in the Fortress of Meropide...
She's having a pretty eventful time of it.
But during this unexpected journey, she gradually realizes that this Barbatos is a little different from the Uncle Venti in her memories.
Come to think of it... why is it getting harder and harder to call him “Uncle”?
At that time, Barbatos had been sleeping in Windrise for years. He was half-awake and stubbornly staying in bed when a voice nearly shook him right out of the tree.
“Uncle Venti!”
What in the world? In all his years as Barbatos, he'd never once been called uncle.
Venti sleepily peered at the girl beneath the tree. She looked awfully familiar, and the more he looked, the more she resembled that old gentleman from the neighboring nation.
The moment he sensed the Geo Archon's presence on her, Venti woke right up.
Ehe, this could be fun.
And so the Anemo Archon, who loved watching the fun and didn't mind stirring up trouble, set off to travel around Teyvat with the girl.
Venti admitted that at first he'd only wanted to have some fun around the girl, and maybe keep an eye on the neighboring old gentleman's daughter while he was at it.
But he never expected that, while keeping an eye on her, he'd end up falling for her himself.
Watching the Anemo around the girl dance with delight, Venti sighed deeply:
How did such a stiff old gentleman manage to have a daughter this lovable?
Come to think of it...
If he went to ask that old gentleman for her hand, he probably wouldn't beat him to death, right?
A little scene from the meeting of the two gods:
Venti, solemn and righteous: “Father-in-law, please accept this son-in-law's bow!”
Zhongli, expressionless: “...Get lost.”
Reading Guide:
Couple: Rockli x Venti. One-on-one, happy ending, lighthearted and fun.
This is a sequel to Mr. Zhongli Has Offered Me Another Contract. The heroine is the daughter of Zhongli and the Traveler. It can be read on its own, but it's even better if you read both.
The plot and romance will probably each make up half the story. Traveling through the seven nations will involve all sorts of side stories. Little Rockli is doted on by everyone, but only in a platonic, familial way. She'll return to the future in the end.
The story takes place before the events of Genshin Impact begin. The goal is to wreak havoc in all seven nations before the Traveler arrives. That's all that matters!
The start date is undecided. I'll wait until the Zhongli story is finished, and first see how the preview collection goes. If you're interested, please add it to your collection!
Theme: How can gods understand the suffering of the people?
Teacher, you are threatening me😭😭😭When I saw the part about not being able to find Zhongli, my heart stopped suddenly😭😭😭No😭😭😭Teacher, bad😭😭😭 Let Zhongli wake up, don't stay alone in the empty room, 🥺🥺🥺Such a heart full of warm friendship cannot withstand the wear and tear of time🥺🥺🥺
It's so sweet 🤩 🤩 🤩 The story of this Fairy Princess is what they experienced in the past 😭 The traveler has forgotten it, but Zhongli has always remembered it. Why did he lose his memory? I remember that the last eye in the Jingci Valley copy looked at the traveler. Is it foreshadowing? Also, did Morax have seen the traveler before, but he also lost his memory? Zibai said Is the mortal woman who accompanied the emperor a traveler? Zibai's reaction that night was wrong. There was also the stone at the beginning. Zhongli said he had always carried it with him but didn't know why. Later it was lost and only the traveler could touch it. What a lot of foreshadowing. In fact, blindly guessing a closed time loop, the amnesiac traveler went back to the past and met Morax. This stone was given by her.
The power of the rock master Tianxing can only be used by one person 🐶 😏 😏 [orange candy] I got it
Thank you for your hard work, boss. This episode is so long. The story about Winged God is really interesting. It's hard to imagine that this is a fan!!! It feels like doing a world mission with Zhongli, exploring the history of this land. History is not told by the God of History, but is described by the descendants of history. It is very vivid and not artificial. The boss is really creative.
Zhongli, wake up soon...🥺🥺🥺
Occasionally? What occasionally? Can't forget it! I will never forget it in this life!!!
This is my first time watching an otome, the emperor is so handsome wk 😍
Spending money on a beautiful woman to make him smile is worth anything, isn't it?
It's a very well-written Zhongli Otome. The emotional line is very logical. It's not like other books that you fall in love with quickly. Hahaha. I'm really surprised that the collection is so low.
The people are prosperous and suffer. If they die, the people will suffer.
