The story has a good backlog now, so it's ready to read. Check out my upcoming works too! Completed: Transmigrated to Teyvat, I Rose to Fame by Selling Rex Lapis Figurines The blurb for Notes on the Archons of Liyue is at the very bottom. Original upcoming novel: The Broken Half-Book It is said that after people die, their souls are guided by Wangsheng Funeral Parlor to the Netherworld Bureau, where they face judgment by the Northern Tai Emperor. Even fallen Archons must meet this god of the underworld, who holds dominion over life and death, to have their destination decided. But after diligently doing his job for six thousand years, this god of the underworld mysteriously disappeared one day. All he left his subordinates at the Netherworld Bureau was a note that basically said, "Whoever wants this job can do it. I'm done." The underworld messengers were so shocked that they hurried off to the human world to look for the Emperor. At the same time, a mysterious funeral officiant named Yu Gui appeared at Wangsheng Funeral Parlor in Liyue. This officiant of unknown origins had an inborn talent for funeral rites and seemed to learn everything without a teacher. His knowledge and experience surpassed that of ordinary people, and he had the rare ability to see both yin and yang, letting him see when people were due to die. Thanks to this gift, whenever the people of Liyue needed funeral arrangements, Wangsheng Funeral Parlor could provide perfectly timed, door-to-door service. Business was booming. The mysterious officiant Yu Gui therefore earned the same regard from Director Hu Tao as the consultant Zhongli. He even suggested that the director open Wangsheng Funeral Parlor branches in all seven nations and cooperate with their local funeral organizations for mutual benefit. And so Yu Gui thrived at Wangsheng Funeral Parlor and became famous throughout Liyue for his yin-yang eyes. Meanwhile, the underworld messengers pleaded pitifully, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please come back! The work is piling up!" Yu Gui: I'm working at Wangsheng Funeral Parlor. Don't bother me. Handle that tiny bit of work yourselves. Underworld messenger: QAQ. What do you do when you get stuck with a boss like this? Please help, answers wanted ASAP. [Warnings] Many original details. The characters belong to miHoYo; any out-of-character behavior is on me. There are many original details.

Blurb for Transmigrated to Teyvat, I Rose to Fame by Selling Rex Lapis Figurines Blurb: Xu Jia woke up one day and discovered that she had transmigrated into the world of Teyvat. Actually, no, someone had tricked her into coming here. She had a dazzling golden Vision, the same Geo Vision as Rex Lapis. She wielded the five-star weapon Moonpiercer Drum Mallet, could give advice to people from all walks of life, and could fight monsters and take commissions. She was a new adventurer at the Liyue Adventurers' Guild, famous as thunder. But this newcomer was a little strange. That's right, Xu Jia came clean: she was a completely normal, utterly crazy (scratch that) Rex Lapis fan. Her room was packed with Rex Lapis figurines. In Teyvat, where most Vision holders made a name for themselves, Xu Jia didn't choose to become an adventurer or serve the Liyue Qixing. Instead, she carved out a new path by setting up shop and selling Rex Lapis figurines. Not for any other reason than that she'd already tried the first two options and failed at both. For Xu Jia, a hardcore grinder and big spender, it was a complete disaster. On her very first day in Teyvat, she went to the Adventurers' Guild to take a commission. The job wasn't some flashy, badass monster-slaying mission, but to pick one hundred freshly bloomed Sweet Flowers. P.S. They have to have elemental energy, dear! Xu Jia: ...How is she using that Taobao customer-service voice and still leaving me with no comeback? Xu Jia: Hey, I'm a Vision holder, Miss Katheryne. Katheryne: Yes, and this commission is just right for you. Ad astra abyssosque. Xu Jia: ???? Anyone can pick Sweet Flowers. Katheryne: The commission specifies that they need elemental energy. Only someone with a Vision can use elemental sight to tell whether an item has elemental energy. Doesn't that make you the perfect fit? Xu Jia: ... They say everything is difficult at the beginning, but Xu Jia found that the whole process was just as tough. Her next commissions were more trivial chores, and what made her even angrier was that there was no Primogem reward, just a few Mora. Hey, are you trying to fob me off with pocket change? At this rate, when am I ever going to amount to anything? Serve the Qixing? No way. She was already under their scrutiny because she was wielding the suspicious five-star weapon Moonpiercer Drum Mallet. If she started showing some strange behavior on top of that, she'd end up in Liyue's prison for sure. Absolutely not. After two disastrous attempts, Xu Jia angrily decided to sell Rex Lapis figurines and merchandise. It's just making money, right? She could do it! But the very first step in starting a business stumped her: how was she supposed to get official authorization? Then, as luck would have it, the blond Traveler arrived in Liyue and gave her a brilliant idea. The protagonist transmigrates just before the Traveler arrives in Liyue. The protagonist made a cameo in the previous story. Blurb for Notes on the Archons of Liyue Sheng Yangche, a psychic who traveled through countless worlds to study the five senses and humanity, accidentally fell into the land of Liyue in Teyvat during a transmigration accident. At the time, Liyue was still a barren land. Rex Lapis had yet to establish it as one of the seven nations of the mortal world, and the humans of various tribes sought the protection of powerful Archons. Sheng Yangche had planned to keep her identity hidden, pass herself off as an ordinary person, and continue her research among the crowds. But the seriously injured young woman she accidentally rescued turned out to be the guardian Archon of a human tribe. Her divine name was Shargus. The Archon told Sheng Yangche that she had brought her people here, only to be ambushed by other Archons. She had no hope of recovery. With her life nearly over, Shargus still worried about the human subjects outside her care, and feared the huge elemental surge her death would unleash might harm them. With no other choice, she transferred all her divine power to Sheng Yangche. From then on, Sheng Yangche became the Archon Shargus. And just like that, Sheng Yangche became a mom with no pain and no warning, saddled with a huge responsibility out of nowhere. She even wanted to explode on the spot. But what else could she do? She still had research to do, and she didn't want to look after these people. Was there an Archon in Liyue who could take Shargus's tribe off her hands? To get rid of this hot potato, and considering the situation in Liyue at the time, Sheng Yangche came up with a plan: whichever Archon could defeat her would get her territory and people. The moment word got out, countless Archons clamored for the chance. After asking around, they were all stunned. Shargus, you're ridiculously weak! Just what kind of pathetic Archon lets every Tom, Dick, and Harry push them around? Sheng Yangche couldn't help complaining. As an Archon whose power was controlling the seven senses, Shargus was never much of a fighter. Among the Hydro Archons, she was practically the weakest of the weak. No wonder someone had beaten her to death. But the other Archons didn't know that the Shargus before them was no longer the same weak Archon. She was Sheng Yangche, who could handle both research and a fight. As a visitor from another world, she already had considerable fighting ability, and gaining the Archon's power had made her much stronger. Out of a sense of responsibility toward the people under her protection, Sheng Yangche utterly crushed the Archons who came looking for a beating. Before she knew it, she'd made a name for herself. The Archons she'd beaten were terrified, wondering when the timid, quail-like Archon had become so powerful. Afraid Shargus would kill them to silence them, they ceded territory to ensure their safety. By the time Sheng Yangche realized what was happening, she had taken over half the land north of Liyue and truly become a guardian Archon ruling over her own domain. Hey, that wasn't what I meant! Now I can't even run away, Sheng Yangche thought miserably. Just then, Morax, the powerful Geo Archon ruling the other side of Liyue, came to see Sheng Yangche with a contract. "Will you sign a contract with me and protect the land of Liyue together?" Sheng Yangche: Sure, sure. You can have my territory and people. I just want to retire to the background, focus on studying the five senses, and find a chance to run away. And so the Archon of the seven senses, Shargus, joined Rex Lapis's side without a hitch. Her research career was over before it had even begun. Theme: Labor is the only means by which people can sustain and develop themselves.
