Qing Ning, a theater student, transmigrates into Genshin Impact and writes tragic endings for the game's playable characters.
Qing Ning has to play different roles and become each playable character's unattainable first love, so they suffer! Suffer! Suffer! Suffer until they can't go on! Their hearts are shattered! Just thinking of him hurts! Hurts! Hurts!
Qing Ning: "What kind of people are Genshin Impact's playable characters, anyway? They're all world gods and elemental dragon kings. I'm supposed to write tragic endings for them? Looks more like I'll be the one eating their knives."
The System is just as unyielding: "Or you could find a romance System to save your sorry life. If you don't want to eat knives stuck in your body, you can eat the ones stuck in your ass instead."
Oh my god, are you even allowed to say things like that on Jinjiang?
Later:
Qing Ning (despair.jpg): "So why do I have to eat the knives stuck in my ass even after I've eaten the ones stuck in my body...?"
System: -.-
Young Geo Archon × guide priest
"Teacher, I like you."
"...I'll give you a little time. Take that back and say it again."
Noble firefly elf × blunt slave boy
Flins thought that if he could live it all over again, he wouldn't tease his own apprentice about dancing well and save a precious video of his terrible coordination. He wouldn't let him shout about democracy and then agree to send him to Nod-Krai for the sake of the Tsaritsa, either.
The young Lightkeeper's soul returned to his hometown. Flins was the one who guided it there.
He was also the one who buried the person he loved most.
Anemo spirit × reserved, ordinary cook
Everyone knew that the Anemo spirit who led an assault on the tower was fond of the plain, unremarkable cook's food. He loved the man's wine, and he especially loved teasing him.
So when that man died in the Anemo spirit's arms,
The thousand winds trembled for him. It was a mourning reserved for him alone.
Chief Justice × Special Patrol Unit captain
He stood beside Neuvillette, Chief Justice, and upheld fairness and justice all his life. Yet after the nobles impeached him, Neuvillette himself sentenced him to death.
Alhaitham the scribe × his chair
It played a prank and slipped out from under Alhaitham, but when a great fire broke out, it burned to protect his thesis.
Genius architect × senior from the tutoring institute
Kaveh's senior, whom he had admired for over a decade, started selling courses for money, only to be exiled from the Akademiya for selling prohibited knowledge.
In the vast desert, Kaveh saw his senior one last time and remembered a poem:
Friends rarely meet, like the morning and evening stars.
What night is this, that we share the lamplight once again?
Warden × the prisoner who once toyed with him
Imprisoned puppet × caretaker
Life after life, Qing Ning writes tragic endings for every big name in Teyvat. As he wishes, he becomes an ordinary person in Liyue Harbor, retires from the start, and quickly moves into Wangsheng Funeral Parlor. He chats with the retired consultant there: "You know, the guide priest of the Geo Archon, the Anemo Archon's old friend, the regret the Dragon King can't forget... They're all amazing! I really look up to them!"
"You speak the truth, Guest Qing." Zhongli smiles faintly. "But your aura feels very familiar. Have we met somewhere before?"
Qing Ning, Zhongli's guide priest: ...
At first, Qing Ning thinks Zhongli recognizing him is just a coincidence. Then a bard with a fake Anemo Vision comes to visit him for a drink, Neuvillette, who should be staying in Fontaine, seeks his thoughts on the law, and Alhaitham shows up with a charred chair and asks him to repair it...
Qing Ning: Save me, save me, save me...
