   Summary

   You are no longer human. You are not allowed to feel. You must master your heart so that it doesn’t corrupt you. You must gain the strength to tear it out.

   Childe trained for ten years to rid himself of all emotion. He followed his masters’ teachings to tear out his heart and become an unfeeling harbinger of death. Now, after the events in Liyue, he finds himself dying of a disease that could only mean one thing:
   He has fallen in love with the god who played him for a fool.
   He allowed himself to be corrupted by golden eyes.
   And now he will pay the ultimate price for failing to tear out his heart.
