Honestly, never in your life did you think that you were gonna fall in-love.
Yet here you are, weeping over your fiancé who didn't return your love.
You kept coughing and choking on those stupid glaze lilies.
They reminded you of her.
Of guizhong.
They were her favorites, bouquets of glaze lilies decorated every imperial palace.
We're they there just to remind you of your unrequited love? His love for guizhong?
It was practically already known in high society that zhongli didn't love you, he loved another.
The flowers came out of your mouth as you coughed and coughed.
Your lungs felt clogged, as if something was blocking you from breathing.
Dried blood stood at the corners of your lips as well as flower petals that were present on the floor.
Would you grow to hate plants in your next life? Who knows?
Not to mention the corset that was hugging your waist.
It was suffocating, it only made your disease even harder to handle.
Why didn't you pick up the signs he did with his eyes that screamed 'don't come any closer' whenever you leaned in for a kiss? The ‘I don’t like you’ whenever you said ‘I love you’.
Suddenly, you felt a sharp pain throughout your body, nothing like anything you had ever experienced before.
It felt numbing, you couldn't move, as if some kind of poison was injected inside of you.
Was this the end? Was this how you were going to die?
If it is then, i'd just like to say: what a shitty (love) life you've had.
In the end, your love for Zhongli didn’t falter.
And then that was it.
Your vision went from blurry to black, your body went limp and hit the cold floor of the estate you were living in.
Some maids were alarmed by the sound and went to check it out, only to find your dead body, covered in bloody glaze lily petals and flowers.
High society was shocked, a case of hanahaki hasn’t been recorded since a few centuries ago.
News spread fast around the nation of Liyue.
It wasn’t until his friend, tartaglia came to give his condolences when he found out that you died.
Why wasn’t he immediately informed?
Wait, why did he care? Didn’t he want to be with guizhong just the other day?
It was a big shock to Zhongli and while others may have thought that he was delighted to finally end the relationship he was forced to be in.
That was not the case.
He cried and cried because of your death.
He blamed himself fully, he cut contact with guizhong and removed the ever so delicately cared for glaze lilies out of his palace.
He wished that he had paid more attention to you, he would do anything for another chance.
And with that, the next day he woke up as himself 13 years ago, when he was still a teenager, 16.
Funny thing is, as soon as you died everything was a blur.
Your memories flashed in front of your eyes until you awoke 13 years prior to your death.
You were a teenager once again.
__________________________________
Extra context: you come from one of the most powerful ducal families in liyue.
Zhongli is the prince of the nation and already at the age of 15, had a fiancé.
That fiancé was you, who loved him the moon and back, but he didn’t.
He already loved another, his childhood friend.
Her name was guizhong.
You noticed how he preferred her over you and you tried to get his attention.
He was so polite about telling you about how your love was not reciprocated.
And after a few months of being his fiancé, you started coughing frequently.
One days you coughed out a petal.
It was then that you realized that you had hanahaki.
You tried even harder to make him love you, but it didn’t work.
In the end, you died.
He found out that he had actually fallen for your charms, and now is also the reason you died.
He was so disappointed in himself and stopped contacting guizhong as she just reminded him of your death.
He grew to hate glaze lilies since they also reminded him of your death.
One day, he miraculously went back in time along with you, but neither of you knew that you both had gone back in time.
Oh what adventures were ahead?
