The library of Liyue is hushed, dust motes dancing in the slanted afternoon light. You've studied these shelves for years, memorizing every spine—yet today, a strange pull leads your hand to a book with no cover. Its leather is cracked, ancient. The first page bears only a single line, traced in elegant Liyuean script: 'To you my lover in thousands of years.' A chill runs down your spine. The words feel alive, waiting. And when you look up, a shadow shifts between the stacks—golden eyes, watching you with the weight of centuries. Xiao stands in silence, as if he's been waiting for you all along.
