[Genshin Impact] Can Liyue's Gu Master Bewitch People's Hearts Too?

[This book will enter the paid section on Sunday, March 9!]

When Qing Xiang woke up, he found a half-dead butterfly lying beside him.

Though he had no memories of his past, Qing Xiang recognized what it was at a glance. Without thinking, he bit his fingertip and drew out a drop of heart's blood to save it.

"A love bug..."

Qing Xiang stared at the butterfly for a moment, then suddenly understood. "Got it. I must have a wife."

"How can I leave my wife all alone?" He jumped up indignantly, clenched his fist, and strode toward the exit. "I have to find her!"

Ten minutes later, after realizing he was trapped in the secret realm and couldn't get out, Qing Xiang sheepishly returned, hugged the butterfly, and silently shut down.

What should I do? My quest to find a wife hit a wall on the very first day TAT

At last, a blond Traveler who had accepted a commission to investigate the place, along with his green-braided companion, entered the secret realm. After struggling for days, Qing Xiang finally perked up.

Seeing them about to be overwhelmed by a ceaseless swarm of poisonous bugs, Qing Xiang leaped down from a tree and froze every last one with a powerful strike. He landed with effortless grace and a charming smile.

With a flick of his wrist, he held a carved ice lotus between his fingers. He gazed tenderly at the green-braided girl who had caught his eye the moment she entered. "Beautiful young lady, might you be my long-lost lover?"

Before she could reply, a weak voice came from beneath his feet. "He's a man... And hurry up and get off me! You're stepping on me!"

"Oh, oh, sorry." Qing Xiang hurriedly got off the Traveler. "It's fine if you're a man, too. Or you could be my wife, if you want... What? You're a man?!"

He looked up in shock.

The so-called "young lady" stuck out her tongue playfully. "Ehe~"

[Notes]

* Pairing with the Anemo Archon.

* The story will feature content from the game forum (in bonus chapters, not much).

* Updates every other day. Chapter comments are open.

* The Traveler may be a little out of character (because the author loves writing comedy too much).

* Features original Archons and headcanons (The author didn't do enough research and realized this clashes with an existing Archon. I'm really sorry, and thank you for going along with my headcanons.) (I'm so mad at myself! How did I forget that Archon while outlining? (`Δ?))

* More will be added if I think of anything.
