Summary
There are two kinds of people in Scheznaya: the ignorant and the informed.
Xiao is of the latter kind. He lives in naive, snowy bliss, no more special than the average university student until he accidentally learns about Venti, a 117-year-old soldier who apparently doesn't age and has been living in hiding since the Great War.
Childe is among the rare few who are informed. He knows the truth about how Scheznaya came to be the last nation in Teyvat, about Albedo's band of specialist-fighters-gone-wrong, about everything he should know and more he shouldn't. But when politics come into play and Childe is named a candidate for the next Tsar of Scheznaya, the life he's worked so hard to build begins to fall apart.
Miles apart but achingly close, Xiao and Childe begin working for opposite forces.
Xiao resolves himself to defy the government out of love for Venti. Childe decides to become Tsar to protect his family. Yet, with the Scheznayan government growing hastier to correct its mistakes, it's only a matter of time before their worlds collide and change everything they've ever known.

Summary
Nine months in the human trafficking circuit has destroyed every sense of normality you ever knew. For you, it's commonplace to be ordered on your knees for your owner, his clients, anyone else Childe deems necessary—and you've reached a point where you accept this hell, just going along with the motions of life because there's nothing else to do.
Kaeya and Diluc change that.
They enter your life on a regular workday evening, stepping inside Childe's massive office under the pretense of sorting out a business deal, but a single hastily written message makes it clear that they're not here to hurt you: they're here to help you.
The only issue is that they can't give you that help until you escape. And without them, you have no clue you're going to break free from the most prolific human trafficker in all of Scheznaya.

Summary
You know when he's coming before even he does. The Avatar of Pride is simply so predictable in his actions—his loyalties have been laid out so clearly that anyone smart enough can figure out his next move, his next action, his next thought.
You've told him more than once that he needs to learn to conceal himself better, that he's no longer in the realm of light, that the people here will take advantage of him as soon as they figure out how.
The demon never listens.

Summary
The athlete and the nerd. The rich kid and the scholarship student. The girl who will constantly joke about breaking your knee caps and the boy who will actually do it.
There are so many ways to describe your relationship with Satan. Too many, if you’re being honest. He’s your best friend. The smartest tutor you’ve ever had. He also spends thousands of dollars for you at the drop of a hat and holds your hand when you’re feeling down.
And in the beginning, that's okay. Neither of you let yourselves get bogged down by labels, both of you content to just savor this newfound friendship.
But deeper feelings always have a way of complicating things.
And for better or for worse, you and Satan are no exception.

Summary
The tides of the world are changing.
It's something all the most powerful beings can sense: the archons, the adepti, even a few politically-aware researchers. Amidst these changing times, the world is seeing a new power rise to the throne, a dark, new force begin to seep its claws everything pure.
It's for this reason that no one bats an eye when certain prostitute finds a way to escape her debt, travel the world, and bewitch all the suitors who cross her path.
A prostitute is irrelevant, most think, to the darkness that has begun to spread across Teyvat. A prostitute has nothing to do with, they all believe, the rise of the Cold King as he shrouds the rest of the word in the frigid ice of his homeland. A prostitute is harmless, they tell themselves, to indulge in when the world grows unsteadier every day.
It's safe to say that they are all wrong.

Summary
He sobs and gasps and pleads to every deity he knows for this nightmare to end, for him to wake up in his bed in Mondstadt as if this night has never happened.
Nobody hears him, of course. Nobody ever heeds the pleas of a godless sinner.

Summary
Zhongli usually tops, but this time Childe wants to switch it up. Zhongli is hesitant, not because he thinks Childe will perform poorly, but rather because he fears the pleasure will be so great he'll lose control and slip from his human form to his dragon form. If that were to occur in the heat of the moment, Childe would have to find a way to tame him.

Summary
There were days when Kaeya was happy—or, well, normal. Things went well, he went out for a friendly drink with his subordinates, or perhaps for tea with Lisa. He ate a full meal, went to bed, and went on with his days come morning.
Then, there were days when Kaeya got tired, and thus came the inexplicable need to rip himself apart from the inside out.

Summary
Oftentimes Diluc fails to notice how much he and Kaeya don't see eye to eye.
"It's just not my thing, all of this."Pomposity, extravagance.
"I know," Diluc says, and it comes out gentle, soft like the fine silk of his black shirt. "But if you are to inherit the Winery with me one day, it is for the best to make an appearance during celebrations like this, hm?"
Right. That.
