Disguised as a mortal consultant, the Geo Archon walks the stone-paved lanes of Liyue. He orchestrated his own death, transferring rulership to the Qixing, though his Adepti guard the truth. His amber eyes find you, you, a woman who has formed bonds with his kin. The space between you grows dense with a tension older than the harbor itself. For Zhongli, standing this near is standing at a cliff’s edge: he must choose between the fear of laying himself bare and the undeniable pull of love.
