    Summary

    Many have flocked to Liyue to try their hand at conquering Rex Lapis’ Path of Indomitable Jade, rumoured to be relentless in its challenge but bountiful in its reward. Unsurprisingly, Ajax’s one track mind honed in on the word challenge and ran all the way to Celestia with it.

    No one told him it was a bygone tradition that vied for the emperor’s hand in marriage, not until much later, when Liyue was already decked to the nines in preparation for the coronation of the emperor’s beloved consort– an Ajax-shaped consort.

    (In which a bored Childe thinks he’s scaling up mountains to fight adepti and gain bountiful gifts for his nation and all that jazz, but he actually ends up wooing one of them and fighting favour from the rest and-- uh, wait, what do you mean the eccentric rock enthusiast is the emperor--)

    Emma rates it ★★☆☆☆

    Shelves: Goodread’s best read 2021, Non-Fiction, way to SHATTER MY SANITY, This Made Me Cry, Just Kill Me 

    SPOILERS AHEAD!

    I’ve heard of raving reviews regarding this book, but I’ve never really come around to reading it until this afternoon. Needless to say, I am now crying my eyes out and writing this review with sixteen wet tissues stuck to my keyboard. You’re welcome.

    Whoever told me this wasn’t a romance book was a goddamn liar. This entire thing is a love confession. The whole Liyue arc was a goddamn love confession. Holy shit. Was it really supposed to be a historical book? I kept trying to read and re-read it again, but nope, all I saw was two really gay, constipated people who just kept jumping around each other and - when they finally got the chance to confess!!!! - got screwed over by the universe.

    In which Childe releases a memoir and what entails on it takes the internet by storm.

    Summary

    Looking at his little family, a smile graces Zhongli's face. His daughter’s face is bright as Childe offers her the flower wind chime for her to touch.
    There’s nowhere else he wants to be in the whole world right now.
    Here, he’s not Morax, Rex Lapis, or even the Geo Archon.
    Just a husband to an extraordinary spouse. A father to one beautiful daughter and soon another, who is growing safely within Childe’s stomach.

    Summary

    Both Childe and Zhongli are immediately in alarm, as they watch their son turn into a mini dragon with his yukata pooling on the pavement.
    Their son swiftly squeaks in distress and fear, inciting Zhongli’s own instinct to rear up at the sight of his youngling in anxiety - vulnerably exposed like this.

    “Papa is here. No one will be able to hurt Yuchen.” Zhongli continues to soothe him. “Papa is the strongest, remember?”

    Summary

    “Papa? Mama?” Yuchen drowsily whispers as he’s slowly lulled to sleep by his Papa’s comforting rubs on his back.
    “Yes, baby?” Childe murmurs just as softly while Zhongli hums in response.
    “Yuchen’s sorry for getting angry this morning.” He says.
    “Oh, Yuchen.” Childe sighs as he strokes his hair to the top.
    "Yuchen is still the most important person in Papa and Mama’s life.” Zhongli assures, before lifting his little hand and kisses it gently. “Papa and Mama love Yuchen so much.” He affectionately says as his thumb caresses his son’s baby cheek. “So so much.”

    “Our sun, moon and star. Our little universe.”
