Someone help me, we have a huge problem!

All I did was get drunk yesterday after my 99th failed confession to Rex Lapis, the Geo Archon. I was completely heartbroken.

So why did I wake up with several new boyfriends?! They all say I confessed to them last night, and they actually accepted!

Boyfriend No. 1: The boy I watched grow up, the Fatui's Eleventh Harbinger, Tartaglia

Boyfriend No. 2: A friend I've known for a thousand years, still hasn't grown any taller, Conqueror of Demons

Boyfriend No. 3: A colleague from the lab, Chief Alchemist of the Knights of Favonius, Kreideprinz

Boyfriend No. 4: My sworn brother, a descendant of the Oni, a monster with a very loud voice

Boyfriend No. 5: My business mentor, a scribe at Sumeru's Akademiya, a frail scholar

Boyfriend No. 6: A new pen pal, a wandering samurai from Inazuma, a descendant of the Kaedehara clan

Boyfriend No. 7: Entrusted to me by a friend, an autistic patient, a wolf boy

S-stay calm. It's all a misunderstanding. In short, I can't let them find out about one another, and then I'll clear things up at the right time!

Wait, this is ridiculous. Why did they all pick the same day for a date?!

My gaze turned sharp.

Looks like I'll have to use that method.

For 3,700 years, Rex Lapis protected Liyue, with only his people in his heart.

Saving an injured little dragon was just a small act of kindness. He never expected her to become attached to him, learn to take human form for his sake, stay by his side, and confess her feelings again and again.

The Archon always turned her down without hesitation, but after rejecting her for the 99th time, he saw her sobbing uncontrollably.

For the first time, he began to doubt himself. Had he been too harsh?

If she came back again, perhaps there would be no harm in accepting her.

Later, after waiting and waiting in vain for her 100th confession, the Archon went to enjoy one of Yun Jin's operas. There, he saw someone acting intimately with seven different men, each time under a different identity, all watching the opera together.

Archon: ???

Archon: !!!

The bard beside him smiled.
