CP: [Alhaitham x Eros]
[Blurb]
Eros, a fan artist and ultimate beauty enthusiast, took his roommate's recommendation and decided to boot up Genshin Impact.
So when he was transported to Teyvat and scooped up by the Grand Scribe, who was on vacation, he kicked his little legs and was defeated by the stunning beauty of the man in front of him.
Eros: Ah, this gentleman's good looks are blinding me!
Alhaitham: A new species. Perhaps I should consider pursuing a second degree in the Amurta Darshan.
On the way home tucked under his arm, Eros had only one thought in his mind:
What is this, the Grand Scribe? Maybe I should try raising him.
For this purpose, he even came up with his own Grand Scribe Care Guide.
First, as his caretaker, show off your skills around the clock and do your utmost to feed him.
The result: Eros was the one drooling over all the delicious food.
Second, as his caretaker, show off your wealth and give him a warm, comfortable place to live.
The result: On his very first day home, Eros fell asleep sprawled on the Grand Scribe and slept like the dead. Then, while drawing to earn money to support him, he nearly had his identity exposed.
Third, as his caretaker, always look after your charge's mental well-being.
That part was right. Ever since Eros arrived, the house had been filled with laughter all day and lively activity every night.
Good news: the raising was a success.
Bad news: he was the one being raised!
When Eros had turned back into a human and was caught red-handed by the Grand Scribe selling his paintings, he still tried to argue: "Isn't this something the Great General Mahamatra should handle?"
Alhaitham replied calmly, "The Great General Mahamatra handles Sumeru. I handle family matters."
As he was pinned in front of a mirror and made to display his paintings, Eros had only one thought.
What kind of ridiculous care guide is this? It's obviously a trap for the one being raised!
These days, Akademiya colleagues were shocked to discover that the Grand Scribe, the most punctual person in all of Sumeru, was actually keen on working overtime!
Cyno, seeing things clearly as an onlooker: What overtime? It's obviously a publicly funded romance!
Short Scene 1:
Eros was invited to help Tighnari teach Collei to read.
When Alhaitham picked up their draft,
what was plainly drawn on it was the Grand Scribe's lewd picture.
Eros: Sorry, force of habit.
Alhaitham: So it was you secretly drawing me. [Blushing without changing expression]
Eros: Well, it's because you're the only one I can draw.
Alhaitham: The other person recalled a blushing message.
Eros: No, no, it's because you're handsome. I just love drawing you.
So Eros spent the whole day drawing Alhaitham, until his back ached and his legs cramped.
Sumeru's gossip circle was buzzing again:
That gentle academic type is so strong and has such stamina.
Short Scene 2
When Neuvillette learned of the Melusines in Sumeru, he abandoned all his official duties for the first time and came to Sumeru.
Deep-sea dragon lizard: I'm jealous. I'll transform into a Melusine overnight.
Both sides stood on the verge of conflict, and a great battle was about to begin.
Alhaitham hugged Eros tightly. "Eros was unclaimed property. The day I picked him up, he became my private property. He is sacred and inviolable."
The God of Wisdom: Nods.
Neuvillette: "I can help solve Sumeru's desert problem."
The God of Wisdom: !
"Alhaitham, you're fired."
Alhaitham: [Smiles] Eros said he would take me to explore his world.
Neuvillette: ?
[Reader's Guide]
* The story is slice-of-life and slow-paced, with lots of headcanons. Any out-of-character moments are my fault.
* The timeline is just after Azar was removed from office. Most of the plot takes place in Sumeru, though friends from other regions will visit.
* Eros is a Genshin Impact player who mostly knows the game secondhand. He isn't very familiar with it, but has seen pictures. He is an extreme beauty enthusiast, was well protected by his parents and friends, and has a somewhat spoiled, naturally absent-minded personality. He is a fan artist and knows lots of poses♂.
* He transforms into a male Melusine, which is unprecedented, and eventually turns into a human.
* There are secondary couples, secondary couples, secondary couples! They don't get much screen time and are more implied.

Blurb:
CP: [Jiaoqiu x Yan Lin]
(Edited for version 2.5: I've decided to abandon the original plot and make this an entirely alternate setting.)
In his previous life, Yan Lin's Foxian clan, Zhuochi, lived far from the Xianzhou. But the torment of being Mara-Struck turned them into a vicious tribe that terrorized the region, and the Xianzhou launched a campaign against them.
Just as both sides were left grievously wounded, the long-hidden Borisin suddenly appeared and wiped out the weakened forces on both sides.
In this life, reborn as the youngest fox boy in his clan, he swore to find a way to save his people and prevent the disaster.
The first step was to go to the Xianzhou and improve relations between the two sides.
So he secretly hopped aboard the carriage said to be taking the Vidyadhara girl back to the Alchemy Commission, hoping to learn from her how to ease his people's Mara-Struck condition.
When he reached out to grab the girl's clothes, he accidentally touched something fluffy.
He followed the tail upward and saw a fox boy with narrowed eyes.
Yan Lin: I think I've picked a fight with someone I shouldn't have...
Unexpectedly, the fox boy smiled at him and cried out like a food lover:
"Want to go eat hot pot together?"
Yan Lin: ?
-
After learning that this fox boy with narrowed eyes was also a doctor, Yan Lin rubbed his hands together, eager to try, and plotted to kidnap him and bring him back to Zhuochi to treat his people.
But...
How did he know I was going to make my move today?!
As he sparred wits with the man, Yan Lin noticed that the other was always watching and studying him with a strange gaze for long stretches of time.
It was as if Yan Lin were a sheet of transparent paper, with no secrets at all.
Everything was unfolding according to the timeline of his previous life, and he was growing anxious over his own helplessness.
Could nothing be changed after all...
Jiaoqiu waved his feather fan:
"Everything is under control, including you."
-
Jiaoqiu, who had sneaked out of Ya Qing to eat spicy food, suddenly realized that he could hear the thoughts of the Foxian beside him.
After he brought Yan Lin back to Ya Qing:
On the surface, Yan Lin was eager to cooperate, looking serious, studious, and hardworking. In his mind, he grumbled:
[I've been eating spicy food every day until my poor butt hurts. Once I kidnap you back to Zhuochi, I'll make you grow cilantro! No, those hands should be focused on healing people. I couldn't bear to make him work hard!]
[What if I put some cilantro in the spicy hot pot? Once he passes out from eating it, I can bundle him up and take him away, hehe. I'll just hold my nose and not eat any, so I won't pass out.]
Kidnapped victim Jiaoqiu: ...
When they went on an expedition with Ya Qing:
Yan Lin automatically hid in a safe area, even pushing the doctor to the front. He sounded steadfast and fearless, ready to charge ahead, while thinking:
[Help, aaaaah! How is that tailless Foxian general so powerful?! The enemy hadn't even finished talking tough before their head was gone! If my people went up against her, wouldn't she cut them down one by one like kindergartners? Looks like I'll need to take a hostage to negotiate!]
Jiaoqiu, regarded as a hostage: ...
At the dining table:
Yan Lin sat beside Jiaoqiu with a calm expression. The table was covered in a dazzling array of dishes. He appeared perfectly composed, while grumbling inwardly:
[Look at all these dishes. They all taste the same. Look at how watery this one is. Looks pretty mild, right? It's spicy. Spicy! Every single thing is spicy!]
Jiaoqiu, the chef who had worked hard to prepare the food: ...
This guy had been spoiled absolutely rotten.
-
Jiaoqiu went to Zhuochi to propose, bringing the general's handwritten betrothal letter and the six traditional gifts.
He had barely reached the entrance when Yan Lin, who was crouching by the gate, stopped him.
"No! The clan leader said I'm the dumbest fox boy in the clan. If I find another weak fox boy, we'll have even dumber little Foxians."
Jiaoqiu helplessly tried over and over to explain that he wasn't weak.
Sigh, what could he do?
He'd spoiled himself a silly darling, so he could only keep spoiling him.
Theme: Live a life that shines in your own way
I used to think that Alifa was an old man in his 40s, 50s, 50s or 60s. I'm sorry, I'm guilty.
Poor single Tinari was forced to eat dog food twice
It's definitely not the tricks of drunk [dog-headed] men.
Fake, it must be to capture Lolo 🐶
Hahahahahahahahahaha Luoluo didn't know that Kawei was moving out and thought there was a burglar hahahaha
Hey hey hey hey hey, you knocked me to death 😍 😍
Oh ho ho, the situation in the copy has appeared
"We are no longer the kind of people to be together with" is a big bug for the author~
The scheming Alhaysen
"Tinari should start anew" is a big bug for the author~ Go to school again
