Zhongli, the archon of contract, a laid back God of Liyue once fell in love with a mortal when he was still known as Rex Lapis.

It was you, a simple merchant around the market of Liyue city.

Those days with him are memories he could never forget, but you are just a mortal while he isn’t. That said, he watched how you grow old and eventually met your life’s end.

And since he is a God, he made the biggest decision of his life and wished for you to come back and reincarnate to an immortal being with consequences; Zhongli needs to wait until your 10th rebirth and the last one will be the person he can be with forever.

After signing that contract, he looks at your every timeline, makes each one his lover and eventually watches how you fade away in his grasp.

Until it’s your 10th reincarnation, the final person who he has been waiting for. Zhongli is your company boss and you are his employee.

He was giving all the initiatives without telling you the truth but you kept rejecting him.

Because you are already engaged with somebody else.

Zhongli didn’t give up and kept pursuing you to be his lover.

“I told you multiple times that we are meant for each other.” He says with arms crossed and cornered you in the employee’s break room.

“I am your lover in every timeline and this is the moment I’ve been waiting for 3000 years…”

Zhongli held your hand and noticed the engagement ring but didn’t budge in.

“You need to believe me.”
