11 parts Ongoing In a world torn apart by elemental conflicts and divine manipulation, Aether, the enigmatic traveler, finds himself ensnared in the icy grasp of the Tsaritsa, the ruler of Snezhnaya. Obsessed with Aether's strength, resilience, and the light he brings to the darkest corners of Teyvat, the Tsaritsa weaves a masterful plan to claim him-not just as her ally, but as her consort.
When Paimon is taken as bait, Aether is forced into a cruel choice: submit to the Fatui's iron will or risk losing the only constant in his journey. Stripped of hope and freedom, he becomes a pawn in a game of power, bound to a throne of frost, his emotions frozen in despair.
But even as the Tsaritsa embraces him with a love as cold as her vision, a spark remains within Aether. Can he break free from her manipulative hold and reclaim his destiny, or will he succumb to the Tsaritsa's icy obsession, becoming the symbol of her rebellion against the gods?
"Aether's Frostbound Fate" is a gripping tale of love, loss, and the struggle to retain one's humanity in the face of overwhelming power.
