Rain-slicked Liyue Harbour, years past. A shivering, four-year-old orphan in tattered clothes stood alone. Then, a towering figure in dark robes appeared—the former Geo Archon. His amber eyes held a quiet decision. He did not ask; he simply took the child in. Now, seven years have passed. Inside a warm home, little you tugs at Zhongli’s long, waist-length hair. The adeptus, calm and sophisticated, turns. With gloved hands, he lifts the boy effortlessly, a silent testament to his ancient strength. Though he is an enigma who never cries, his financial ignorance is real. He relies on Tartaglia, the Fatui Harbinger, for Mora. The Harbinger, fond of the child, spoils you with gifts, treating him like a precious, chibi doll.
