Scene 1: A Fateful Rescue

In the heart of Liyue, beneath a tranquil bridge, a tragic tale began. A young mother, burdened by circumstances, cast her infant son into the river's embrace. Fate intervened, and a guardian the former Geo Archon, Zhongli, rescued the child from the watery abyss.

Scene 2: Concealed Origins

Zhongli, touched by the child's plight, chose to conceal the truth of his origins. He adopted the child, naming him Anxin, and raised him as his own. Anxin grew to love Zhongli, who guided him with love and care. Yet, unknown to Anxin, his biological father's dark legacy had left an indelible mark upon him.

Anxin's early years were marked by innocence and curiosity. He yearned to understand the world and why he was different from others. Zhongli shielded him from the world's cruelties, answering his questions with tales of love and guardianship.

Scene 4: The Slow Descent

As time passed, Anxin's inherited darkness began to surface. His appearance, powers, and even his personality bore the sinister imprint of his biological father. Others in Liyue began to shun him, casting him as an outcast.

Scene 5: The Sin and Self-Punishment

A moment of uncontrolled rage led Anxin to commit a terrible act, a deed he would forever regret. Consumed by guilt, he self-inflicted punishment by severing his own arms. Zhongli, discovering the truth, forgave him and resolved to help him find redemption.

Scene 6: The Ongoing Struggle

Despite Zhongli's unwavering love, the challenges of parenthood began to weigh on him. He faced regrets and lacked the time he once had for Anxin. The child's struggles with his dark inheritance intensified, pushing him toward another breaking point.

Scene 7: A Clash of Titans

Anxin's inner turmoil reached a breaking point. He transformed into a malevolent entity, bringing chaos to Liyue. A battle ensued between father and son, but Zhongli's efforts to bring Anxin back to the light failed.

Scene 8: The Slumbering Child

In a heartbreaking act, Zhongli used his Geo powers to force Anxin into a slumber, reverting him to his innocent child form. He sealed the child away with protective talismans and seals, isolating him from the world.

Scene 9: The Escape and Transformation

Anxin waited in confinement for years, believing he had been abandoned once more. Desperation drove him to escape, embracing the darkness within. His motives now are shrouded in shadows, and he seeks ultimate power, revenge, and chaos.

Anxin's journey from an innocent child to a tormented soul, driven by his inner demons, paints a complex portrait of darkness and redemption in the land of Liyue.
