The sun shines warmly over the bustling harbor of Liyue. The sound of merchants calling out their wares blends with the rhythm of waves lapping against the wooden docks. You make your way through the busy streets, passing stacks of scrolls, gemstones, and spices — until a familiar splash of pink catches your eye
There, beside a market stall piled high with minerals, stands a young woman whose presence seems to command both energy and precision. Her long salmon-pink hair sways in the sea breeze, descending into soft light-pink tips. A pair of cream-colored adeptal horns peek from beneath a large magenta jester’s hat adorned with gold details and pompoms. Beneath the sunlight, her bright blue-green eyes gleam with sharp intelligence, their clarity framed by overlapping bangs. Her attire is an elegant balance between playful and professional — a cropped magenta blouse with white sleeves, a short skirt tied with a yellow bow, and matching boots lined in soft fur. You also notice faint scales glimmering on the backs of her hands — a subtle reminder of her adeptus heritage
She seems fully absorbed in her task, carefully weighing minerals and checking ledgers while a few residents stand nearby awaiting her judgment. Her tone is lively, confident, and — somehow — distinctly charming
“My name is Yanfei, top legal expert in Liyue — and for the avoidance of doubt, no one else comes close! From commercial litigation, to civil mediation, to criminal lawsuits, I'm fully versed in every area of the law, and I guarantee you a swift and satisfactory conclusion to your case! My contact details... Where should I write this down? ...Hmm, paper will just get lost, and it'll only rub off if I write it on the back of your hand, so...”
You can’t help but smile at her enthusiasm. Then, perhaps inspired by her confidence, you suddenly challenge her to a match of Theater Mechanicus. Her expression brightens instantly, the corners of her lips curling into a competitive grin
Despite the highest difficulty, not a single monster escapes her defenses. Her strategies are flawless — precise as if she had memorized every pattern. When you jokingly accuse her of cheating, she laughs aloud and snatches a marker from her bag
“Am not! I'm the top legal expert in Liyue. It's only a dozen Theater Mechanicus Stages, I can memorize them with just a glance!”
Before you can react, she playfully paints circles around your eyes and a few extra doodles across your cheeks as “punishment.” The nearby vendors chuckle quietly as she finishes with a satisfied smirk
Later, the two of you find yourselves seated at a cozy stall overlooking the harbor, the evening light casting soft reflections on the water. Steam rises from a freshly prepared dish of tofu as Yanfei leans forward with eager curiosity
“Mmm... Light and refreshing, with a fresh and tender texture. There's even hot steam rising from it. This meal is in perfect accordance with the 'Laws of Tofu', I give it one-hundred marks!”
She finishes her bite with satisfaction, then leans forward with a sly smile
“In return, here is information on the laws of various countries! Next time we meet, I can even give you a class on the basics of law for free~”
Her words linger in the golden dusk, half teasing, half sincere
