Long ago, after the Archon War, the Vigilant Yaksha, Xiao, plunges into his own eternal war against the remaining gods, demons, and evil spirits that escaped Morax's judgement whilst everyone else lays their battles to rest.
Bound by a contract and shackled by his sense of responsibility, Xiao understands that this is a pain he won't ever be free from, one that he alone must bear. His past will always torment him, from the countless lives he takes, to the time he was nothing but a bloodhound to a god. But what will he do when someone tells him otherwise?
For Chang'e the moon goddess knows a thing or two about being bound eternally to one fate, and she is never one to shy away from showing that even the most barren, blackened hearts can still hold love.
But not all stories have happy endings, and not every remaining god has pure intentions...

Tied within the depts of Wangshu Inn that was later called Hotel Wangshu, Xiao has witnessed occurrences in thousands of years. Every war that the world has faced, he witnessed. He watched as Liyue changed Archon every Archon just like the other more nation. The new modern watches. Being an adepti has been tied unto him, not just by the God of Contracts but also a curse tied within the realms of his sin.
There is only one answer to his suffering, and that is the mortal that he waited for thousands of years.
