It's been 3 years since you've moved to Liyue and started a new life with Zhongli and your daughter Grace. Things seemed to be going well but as time went by you start to feel "out of place" constantly reminded you aren't an Archon like your husband...
Male Reader POV - I took the pill Zhongli gave me to washing it down with some water feeling the unpleasant bitter taste causing me to gag alittle. As I've gotten older the medication hasn't been as effective Dr. Baizhu had to up the dosage but let's face it my body was beginning to shut down we both knew it. And in the back of my mind Zhongli knew to.
Zhongli - Shhh
Male Reader POV - He gently rubbed my back as I sat there emotionless before coughing again. I was dying and it was happening so fast the man I loved was spending more time looking for solutions to preserve life rather than train our daughter. Sure I'm only in my early 30's but my health has been declining even before I've met Zhongli and Chef Mao before setting foot in Lyiue.
Zhongli POV - I was desperate trying to find a solution to keep my beloved in mine and Grace's life I'd never allow myself to lose the love of my life under no circumstances.
Male Reader - ....
Zhongli - Sweetheart shall we go see Chef Mao today?
Male Reader POV - I was about to speak until a burning sensation made it's way to my throat feeling abit dry falling off the bed.
Zhongli - (Y/N)!!!

Zhongli POV - He fell to the floor coughing again causing me to panic quickly lifting his body up onto the bed.
Zhongli - Grace!! Get in here this instant!!
Male Reader - *Cough* P-Please don't trouble our daughter I-
Male Reader POV - My words were cut off seeing the door open as Grace hurried walking in with what looked like a tray of tea and fruit.
Grace - H-here
Zhongli POV - She handed me the tray thanking her before taking the cup of tea moving up to (Y/N) mouth.
Zhongli - Sweetheart here drink this for me it will sooth your throat
Male Reader POV - I gently took a sip feeling pain take over tears began to form in my eyes. How did it get like this? One moment I've met the love of my life I was younger and happy but now I'm dying my daughter didn't love me and I'm becoming a burden to Zhongli...our family.
Male Reader - Zhongli I-I want to go somewhere *Coughs*
Zhongli - Dearist you require rest
Male Reader - *Tears* Please I-I want to go to the forest and-and I'd like Chef Mao to be there to
Male Reader POV - I knew I was close to dying and having it be here in this bed wasn't something I've wanted.
Male Reader - P-please..
Grace - *Frowns*
Zhongli - A-alright but then you are required to rest in bed afterwards understand?
Male Reader POV - I gave a sad smile as he began to life me up in his arms wrapping me in a blanket.
