Heyo! Anima- here with my first ever written story lmao. It's a headcanon/fanfiction of mine about the Guili Assembly based on bits of lore in the game about it. Story takes place during the Solitary Fragrance quest just after the Traveler sings to the Glaze Lilies and is about to go back to the harbor with Paimon and Zhongli, only to find out that trouble has been brewing with the Qixing, Fatui and the Adepti. Big thanks to @tzitzimeme for her compiled summary about Guizhong on Reddit and to @anna_drw01 for allowing me to use her artwork for the book cover! Do leave comments and feedback if you want and hope you enjoy!

Zhongli lifted one of his eyebrows, "You want to make a contract with me?" This story is about the two old Gods of Tevyat, how their relationship started and how Zhongli almost lost it all in one night. Ps. Even though this is a pre-Liyue fanfic, I figured I should use some traditional Chinese terms in my writing, as Liyue is mainly based off China and its culture. (This is also my attempt at revisiting my heritage (*'∀')♪). All terms will be explained in the end notes! Thank you for reading~

"But if this journey was to your liking, why don't you come along the next time I am seeking to preserve memories of Liyue's past?" In which dust scatters before it settles, and the story of Havria stirs up another story in Zhongli's memories.
