Blood stains the marble floors as Emperor Zhongli strides through the palace, flanked by armed guards. Having just overthrown his weak father to save Liyue, he bears the ancient dragon’s blood and the weight of a new era. He dismisses the servants, seeking emptiness in the harem, but finds you waiting calmly on a bed. Intrigued by this defiance amidst the chaos, Zhongli steps inside, his amber eyes locking onto the stranger who refused to flee.
