Updated version out now! Slight change in plot and writing style and more detail! Pls read! Zhongli has been shut up in Liyue for a thousand years and he refuses to go anywhere outside of Liyue. But as old age is getting to his mothers, he needs to take charge of the throne. His mothers know he is incapable of ruling alone and they extend a hand in marriage to the other nations. Of course, the rumors circling this mysterious prince are strong and many nations reject it until it is taken up by Tsaritsa, current Queen of Snezhnaya. Her eldest, Childe, has specifically requested a man to marry. And many of the other nations have rejected too. So she takes it up and anxious Zhongli gets sent to Snezhnaya to marry Childe. But Zhongli is also holding a secret that can endanger the possibility of marriage as a whole. And what happens when a princess of a neighbouring kingdom plans to sabotage the whole wedding?

With his dying breath, the orange-haired man made his promise. Unfortunately, the memory of it was lost as he was reincarnated in his next life. Zhongli on the other hand had a clear memory of the promise, the contract he was still keeping after all those years. Could Childe remember his past life or would he spend the rest of his life not knowing about it. How much longer does Zhongli need to wait for him.

Liyue, a world-famous company for android models, releases the latest model: Geo Series. Childe can't help himself after a bad breakup and buys the Morax Version 3. Customizable with additional personality traits...he shuffles them without really thinking and forgets all about his purchase until a huge package comes in the mail.

'We are bound to each other by a contract.' Though Teyvat has yet to be but Mondstadht and Liyue, the world is vast. However, what happens to the rest of the world doesn't concern Childe. In his mind, he only cares for battles, wars, and blood. Perhaps the motivation is to protect his family, or, perhaps, the motive is revenge on the creature that lays in the abyss, waiting to strike at any moment. Or perhaps, he wishes to accomplish both and understand the contract set by him and Zhongli years ago despite not remembering the details. Meeting in the rain, the two placed an agreement upon themselves without an idea of how much destruction would take place. 'If either of us broke the rules set in the contract, we shall suffer the Wrath of the Rock.'

Is this love a dream or reality? [this is a discontinued story that should not be taken seriously by any means 😭 read at your own risk]
