I, the leader of the esoteric sect, am doing great things in the infinite world!

(Hua Nian walked briskly past Chihu Rock)

Hua Nian: Lately, I've been troubled and distressed, all because that lecherous man has harmed my family. For months, he's been knocking on my door at night, leaving me, a widow and orphan, in constant fear. I only hope to earn enough Mora soon to escape this troublesome and unsettling place.

(At the age of 18, I visited the Temple of the True Lord and bowed once.)

Hua Nian: Thanks to the Savior of Suffering who vanquished the Demon King, Liyue is now a prosperous and peaceful land, and its people are enjoying peace and happiness. I, Hua Nian, would also like to offer a stick of incense in respect.

(Hua Nianxia)

Second match

(Hua Nian enters carrying a basket)

Hua Nian: I sell this flower basket along the street.

(Hua Chu, Jian Qiu)

Hua Chu: Today is a beautiful day, and I am even happier to see my lover. My heart is trembling and my cheeks are flushed. I only hope that my father will change his mind soon and let me and Qiu Lang get married.

Jianqiu: Looking at that flower girl on the street, a middle-aged woman with a rosy face and a youthful glow, one look and you know—oh my!

(White)

Jianqiu: How could it be that youthful year?

Jianqiu: Seeing an old friend makes me uneasy. I'm afraid this widow will ruin my reputation. I can't stay here any longer.

(White)

Hua Nian: I wondered who it was, but it turned out to be that lecherous scoundrel.

Hua Nian: Oh well, let's just pretend we didn't see it and let it go.

(Hua Nian glances at the jewelry on Hua Chu's wrist and feels a pang of sadness.)

Hua Nian: I envy the rich girls in their finery, but I lament my misfortune and shallow fate. Every night I weep and pity myself under the moon.

(Hua Chu saw Hua Nian holding a flower basket)

Hua Chu: This flower is rare in Liyue. It's not that it's expensive, but it's quite unusual for me to see it today.

(White)

Hua Chu: Here, take the money. As for the flowers, I'm taking them all.

Hua Nian: Miss, you have excellent taste. It is truly a case of a fine sword for a chivalrous man and a lotus for a beautiful woman.

Hua Chu: You're quite the smooth talker, woman.

(Hua Chujian Jianqiu's expression was strange)

Hua Chu: Qiu Lang, what's wrong?

Jianqiu: It's alright, it's alright, let's go.

Hua Chu: Strange, strange, really strange. Why did Qiu Lang's face change when he saw this woman? I've read stories before and know that widows love scholars. Could it be that they have a past relationship?

Hua Chu: I'll give her a try in the future.

(When the flowers first bloom, autumn falls)

Hua Nian: It turns out that this lecherous man started his ill-fated relationship with the eldest daughter of Duke De'an. He really has a belly full of sages and virtuous books, but he has read them all into a dog's belly.

(Hua Nianxia)

Narrator: This is precisely why everyone loves beautiful women and talented men, but who would have thought that these beautiful women and talented men would bring disaster upon themselves.

First match

(Jian Qiu enters in white)

(Reciting) I have talent, but how can I repay it? I am left alone in this world.

Jianqiu: After parting with Hua Chu that day, I was filled with thoughts. It was not difficult to win over this youthful beauty, but it was difficult to plead with Lord De'an on her behalf.

(In the courtyard, on the way to De'an Gong)

Courtyard: Report important matters promptly, but don't spread rumors unnecessarily.

(White)

Courtyard: Please welcome the venerable Lord De'an!

Duke De'an: Hmm! What is it?

Courtyard: The poor scholar whom the master had instructed has come to visit.

Duke De'an: What a poor, wretched little beast! How dare you come to my door?!

Duke De'an: Servant, lead the way to the mansion gate!

Courtyard: In the courtyard, my grandfather and I led the way, and when we saw that poor scholar, we asked him clearly.

Duke De'an: The servant led the way out of the mansion gate, and there I saw Jianqiu arrive. I sat on the grand chair to observe.

(White)

Jianqiu: Yes, sir, please.

Duke De'an: Hmph, please.

Jianqiu: Who is the old man so angry about?

Duke De'an: I came just for you!

Jianqiu: Why have I come here?

De'an Gong: Let me ask you, you have neither a house nor talent, neither Mora to rely on nor the favor of the King of Yan, so why did you take away my precious daughter?

Jianqiu: With a sincere heart?

Duke De'an: A shred of sincerity? Bah!

Lord De'an: Hearing one word, you nameless man, you curse Jianqiu, you little beast! Tomorrow I will take the land deed and make sure you have nowhere to live in Liyue!

(White)

Jianqiu: Old Master, you are mistaken.

Jianqiu: I am but a commoner scholar, who usually works hard on my writing and conducts myself with integrity, and I do not care about wealth and status. How could I possibly deceive a young woman? It is my sincere heart that has been attacked by you.

(White)

Duke De'an: Hey, shut up!

Duke De'an: Hey, come on over!

Courtyard: Yes.

Duke De'an: Get that sour grapes out of the house! If you see him again, chase him away!

(Hua Chu rushes in)

Hua Chu: Father, Father!

Duke De'an: What's wrong?

Hua Chu: My heart has long been pledged to Qiu Lang, I wish to be a pair of mandarin ducks on Dihua Isle. The world changes easily but the stone does not turn, my heart is as steadfast as a willow branch.

(White)

Duke De'an: You...you spendthrift and unfilial daughter!

De'an Gong: Who says love can fill your stomach with water? They only say that without money, you can't move an inch. Perfect couples are rare, and even a single mora can bring down a hero.

De'an Gong: It's all because of this poor scoundrel's clever tongue that I'm so angry and furious.

(White)

Duke De'an: Send Hua Chu to her chambers and confine her to her quarters. And kick this poor wretch out of the manor!

(The courtyard is adorned with early blossoms, reflecting the autumn light; Lord De'an departs, his sleeves fluttering in the breeze.)

249 is Lala Fat!

"Get out of Teyvat!"

Li Lin stumbled back about ten steps from the mirror before finally sitting down on the toilet seat, looking at his pale face in the mirror.

The thought of that inexplicable voice ringing in his ears made Li Lin furious.
