[Genshin Impact] Am I Crazy for Falling in Love with Dottore?

Olivia became an overnight sensation after exposing the Fatui Harbinger known as “The Doctor.”

One day, she was suddenly hit with a copyright strike and accidentally transmigrated to Teyvat. The System told her that her mission was to win over eighteen-year-old Zandik, who was none other than Dottore himself.

A major hater sent to win over the person she hated?

This busted System sure knew how to make things entertaining.

So Olivia used a mind-reading device to rack up affection points, while quietly falling back on her old habit of collecting dirt on Zandik.

The day the System announced that she’d completed her mission, she came clean on the spot. “That’s right, I deliberately installed the mind-reading device on you so you’d think you had me under your thumb.”

And he certainly lived up to Olivia’s expectations by completing his own conquest.

She tossed all the dirt she’d collected at him, her face alight with the satisfaction of finally getting the upper hand.

Zandik casually picked up a page, his expression turning curious. “You said my kissing skills are bad?”

“...Yes.” She steeled herself and shot back, inwardly regretting that she’d mixed her random ramblings in with the dirt. Her voice wavered. “Are they not?”

She’d already decided to throw caution to the wind and was prepared to leave Teyvat at any moment. Then the System suddenly announced that her affection points weren’t high enough and she’d failed to win over her target.

Damn that System for screwing her over at the worst possible moment!

“...I just realized, maybe things ended too abruptly last time. How about we try again?” All the dignity she’d maintained for half her life went out the window in front of Zandik.

Zandik raised an eyebrow and wrapped an arm around her waist. “If you say so.”

Late at night.

Zandik altered the System’s programming, setting the average affection level to 80% and locking the cap in place forever, making it impossible to meet the conditions for clearing the game.

The daily missions regenerated under his hand

[Daily Missions (0/3)

1. Have one conversation with the target about “confirming the exclusivity of your feelings.”

2. Promise the target you will “stay forever” once.

3. Be physically intimate with the target (0/3).]

Even if she didn’t belong to Teyvat, or to him, the System was his to rewrite.

He curled his lips into a silent smile. “Want to leave? This is only the beginning.”

“The heart, respiratory system, peripheral nerves... These are merely instinctive reactions produced by machinery-like systems, yet they make a living being think it has a ‘soul’ and mistake them for what people call falling in love. What an interesting illusion.”

Reader’s guide:

1. He is an outright villain. No redemption. Dottore’s ending follows the original story.

2. The author isn’t aiming for rigorous research. There’s a mountain of headcanon, written for personal enjoyment, with preferences taking priority.

3. No character bashing, and don’t follow the story if you’re going to insult him. I simply admire his utterly pure thirst for knowledge and his ability to see things through.
