Childe is offered up as a sacrifice to the God of Liyue: Morax, protector of the people and god of contracts. Cover: @ SilverSaiho

Zhongli was born with an unusual condition where his body temperature is dangerously low. He is unable to feel warmth even when bundled in blankets or drinking hot tea. That is, until one day...when he stumbles into a strange man claiming to be in love with him.

The current emperor is cruel and unfeeling, but once he believes his court to be treasonous, he kidnaps a doppelganger lurking in the town and forces him to be his body double. This new emperor, drastically different from the old, manages to win the heart of the co-emperor. But, with everyone trying to poison him...who knows how long he will last?

Childe fell in love with a professor at his university and decided to get a minor in geology just to experience his classes even though it's completely unrelated to his major...but how will he confess his feelings when graduation comes?

Childe's been obsessed with Zhongli for some time. He even joined the enemy just to get enough information on him to get close. He'd been following him for days. Getting as much information as he could. But, even that wasn't enough. Nothing could've prepared him for this...

Zhongli is perfect. Their relationship is perfect. He is everything Childe could wish for. Then Zhongli starts to forget - memories, experiences, history - leaving Childe in a race against time to save him from a fate worse than death. Cover commissioned from aribiaobi on Twitter!

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?

Childe is a dragon hunter sent from Shneznaya to deal with a dragon one that seems to be causing trouble to his Majesty. He takes it upon himself to travel to Liyue and make sure the dragon regrets ever messing with her. His plan? Not to die. --- This story is original and was in development for quite some time as i took a breather. Hope you all enjoy the new genshin content you all know me for. This is a story where there are no archon's more so rulers of nation's spread out across the world. And yes all rulers are shape shifters but that is a secret to all characters besides themselves. Zhongli or Morax obviously presents himself only as his dragon form not liking the idea of him ruling a nation. With the way he rules he had offemded the Tsaritsa many times and had wronged her in the past so she is seeking to kill him. Knowing he is in his dragon form most likely she sends one of the harbingers to kill him. Childe doesn't know that he is sent to kill a ruler so obviously he is way more cocky than he should be. And also. Zhongli in his dragon form is sort of a blessing creature for Liyuans. So they come to him for blessings once per half a year. Only one person per blessing so being blessed by him is the most impressive thing for anyone from the nation. Some who lived there their whole lives have never seen or been blessed by him but he keeps watch. enjoy;] WORDS: 11,154 Only chapters count if there will be any A/n this does not add on as im only counting the chapters.

"Y-you kill people for a living?" Zhongli nodded "Not just people, criminals." Childe looked at him in fear and confusion, how could the principal of his school and his childhood crush just kill people like that?
