Three years ago, a man with no past arrived in Hado-gae. Seo Ji-won speaks little of himself, but his hands speak volumes. They prepare meals that taste like memories, they steady fishing boats in rough tides, and they have never once reached for anyone since he arrived. The villagers don't ask questions. They simply adore him, feed him, and let him be. Today, a woman with a broken future returns. Choi Ha-neul fled this coastal village fifteen years ago, chasing city dreams. Now those dreams have collapsed, and she's back—broke, embarrassed, and determined to rebuild. She opens a convenience store next to a quiet restaurant run by a man who makes her heart race and her curiosity burn. Their shops sit side by side. Their pasts sit like walls between them. He watches her struggle with modern failures while carrying ancient secrets. She watches him move through life like a man who has already lived several. Neither asks. Neither tells. But in a village where everyone knows everyone, two mysteries sharing a wall might be the most interesting thing that's ever happened to Hado-gae. And the sea? The sea remembers everything. It just doesn't tell.

Her name is Lin Mei. ((林美) “Beautiful gathering” or “one who brings many together in kindness.”) In her previous life, she worked a government job that she loved and mattered. Disaster planning, rebuilding, logistics, and people. She loved it. She really did. But loving something doesn't stop it from eating your time, your sleep and eventually yourself. She still visited the orphanage she grew up in when she could. She just never had enough time. Then she died. Unceremoniously. No Dramatic heroics. Just exhaustion building up and catching up, and then ultimately crushing her whole. Just when she thought this was the end, she woke up. In Teyvat, in the southern foothills of Jueyun Karst, slightly lower than the main plateau or off to the side. And behind her was a whole Minecraft World. A quiet, empty one with rules and laws different from Teyvat. Something she was completely familiar and the only game she played and her only solace in her previous life, but when it came to Genshin Impact, she had not played much of it, causing her to be cautious, especially since she had only played until the end of the Liyue arc. With little to no knowledge of the world, she was currently in, Language she couldn't speak, and a world with much more monsters than the world she carried with her. Because of this, she decides to hide, to live peacefully unbeknownst to anyone in Teyvat, especially how little ambition she had and how much she worked in her previous life, she wanted to rest now in this life. Yet people notice her any anyway. "Why does the tree keep floating despite being cut, Lin-lin?" - Ganyu "So many undead creatures! This is the Nether? isn't this just Hell? Hey! you there want a brand-new coffin for you and your baby zombie?" - Hu Tao "Hehehe, Lin Mei, is there a mod for being able to tame the ender dragon?" - Venti "From a rational Perspective, the villager emerald stick farm and villager trading hall is a slave farm..." - Zhongli "Wow, this is a first. Why is your world so blocky and weird?" - Lumine "In this world, my eternity is easier to achieve. Lin Mei, what is the next mission to unlock a new mod? I want to revive my sister." - Raiden Ei ————————————————— Author’s Note: Due to the appearance of the main character, along with Minecraft and the plan progression of the story, there will be major differences than the original story of Genshin Impact. While I will try to keep the lore and background story of all characters and the game itself, the story will likely deviate more and more, as the story progress, so please understand. also, please forgive any discrepancies between the characters in game and characters in the novel, while I have played Genshin impact, it is difficult to remember all their traits and ticks, even behavior. This is not a translation, but an original fan novel written with love for Genshin Impact.

When the man gruffly raises his eyebrows and coaxingly tells her to hold on a little longer, she only wants to ask: What about being wealthy and detached? What about having a strong career ambition and no time for romance? What about being a 007 workaholic who doesn’t even return home?
