[Gui Feng] A Thousand Autumns Crossing with You

Some people never dreamed that one day they'd get the chance to marry themselves off with their own hands.

Many years later, the person who once saved another version of himself grabbed Dan Heng by the scruff of the neck. The sweet-faced, black-hearted black sesame rice ball hoisted the osmanthus-filled rice ball like a cat and demanded, "How could you even think of getting together with him?!"

The osmanthus-filled rice ball stated the facts innocently. "But Mister really is handsome."

The sweet-faced, black-hearted black sesame rice ball had nothing to say to this other version of himself, who was a bit of a sucker for good looks. So he pointed at the stunned chestnut cake in the distance and declared, "But in his heart, Liyue comes first!"

The osmanthus-filled rice ball looked confused. "...But it comes first for me, too."

The sweet-faced, black-hearted black sesame rice ball: "..."

This kid has caught Zhongli. There's no saving him.

So, choose.

Will you set out once more along the road that eventually opens onto brighter days, or step into a glorious age of lights and prosperity you never dreamed of?

Warning: A Genshin Impact crossover with Honkai: Star Rail, with the pairing of Zhongli and Dan Heng. If this pairing bothers you, please don't read. Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you (and if it bothers you and you still read, I'll punch you into the ground). The plot centers on Zhongli and Dan Heng. In this story, Dan Heng knows the basics about the Vidyadhara and Imbibitor Lunae, but has no memories related to Dan Feng, for special reasons. He's basically the equivalent of someone who grew up in Liyue. This is a crossover with the other Dan Heng, raised by Imbibitor Lunae: Dan Heng from the selfcest story A Sorrow Too Deep for the Green Maple Banks.

Theme: Liyue above all else (?)
