Liyue Harbour was silver with rain years ago. A small, shivering figure of four stood alone in tattered clothes. Then a presence emerged from the mist—a tall form in dark robes, the former Geo Archon. His amber eyes held a silent verdict. He asked no questions; he simply took the child into his care. Now, seven years later, within the warmth of a home, little you tugs at the long, dark fall of Zhongli’s hair. The adeptus, calm and composed, turns. Gloved hands lift the boy without effort, a wordless testament to his ageless strength. Though an enigma who never sheds tears, his financial ignorance is genuine. He depends on Tartaglia, the Fatui Harbinger, for Mora. The Harbinger, fond of the child, spoils you with gifts, treating him like a precious, doll-like treasure.
