      Ik this is a joke but the thing is: we barely scratch the surface of the main story, and the thing is: you barely know the world and people around you, you want to share your personal information with them? The thing is: the heavenly sustainer/the unknowm god did said that our journey ends here (which meant the journey before they got isekai'd) which meant it's not our first on doing a journey. Traitors, believers, comrades, hidden motives, all should be already sounded familliar to both Aether & Lumine.

Chang says that when he young, her side of family doesn’t approve of him being involved with little Nine and moves out of the village. That’s why he’s trying to prove them wrong by getting famous as a writer so that he can be with her.

      Childish Jiang was heartbreaking. Apparently his mother hid the fact that his father died, then later on, as she was on her deathbed, she arranged for a "final hide-and-seek game" just so he won't witness her die. He hid in that last spot for days it seems, and the people he saw come and go thinking they were for him were actually visitors on her wake. In the end some distant relatives as well as the Tianqiu of the Qixing took care of him, but careful not to tell what happened to his mother, to the point that the Millelith told him that those gravestones put up on the front of their house were arranged for by his parents "while they were away." Since he cannot read what is on them...
      Also just to add to the heartbreak factor: two Seelie statues are positioned just near the front door. One of the Seelies could be found way up high in the mountains near a dormant Ruin Hunter, representing the father who died in duty, while the other near the headstones representing the mother who remained loyal to her late husband, and caring to her son.

    Several years later,his daughter grown up and is in love with someone(lets called him MR.X) but there is another person(Loathsome Thug) who also love his daughter but got rejected by Uncle JC(currently at home at the time),being furious about the rejection from Uncle JC and being envious against JC's daughter love with Mr.X.
    He waited until the day when Uncle JC is going out for his daily errands and as if god is trying to help him,that day was a terrible stormy day,he went to Uncle JC's home and murdered JC's wife and daughter.
    An hour later,when Uncle JC came back from home,he was shocked by the horrible scene that occured in his house and was traumatised
    Decades later,he was old and forgetful but he still remember that horrible scene from the past and keeps on regretting for not being home early tham usual so that he can protect his wife and daughter,even if he cant protect them at least he die with them as a family

    There's this NPC during the day time that's located near the docks, sorta near the Reputation quest board thing. Her name is Sisi and if you talk to her, she tells you that she's taken and she's waiting for her lover Chaoxi to come back from the seas. She talks about how she wishes to spend more time with him but he's always away
    There's another NPC located on the Pearl Gallery, her name is Cui'er. She also talks about her lover overseas who happens to be named Chaoxi.
    During nighttime you can find Chaoxi on the talks with Sisi. Sisi wants to get married but Chaoxi doesn't want to, claiming that he's "tired". Then Sisi calls him out for being suspicious
    So basically Chaoxi is cheating on Sisi and Cui'er lol

    One of the sadder ones that I discovered on my own was Jiayi, a Mililith soldier in Liyue that stands guard at the Ministry of Civil Affairs. He speaks of seeing his daughter again, and when you ask him about it, he tells you that his wife died in childbirth, and that he had to give his daughter to her grandparents for them to raise her. He wishes so badly to see his daughter again, and that made me really feel for him, for some reason. He's one of my favourite NPCs in the game because of his story, and I've even sketched him as tribute. I plan to do the same for Alfred the bard because seeing his story in this video almost made me cry...

      It's also sad that Little Liu (Jiayi's daughter) doesn't know that her mother is dead because Jiayi only told her that her mom always works at Liyue Harbor. Little Liu dreams to be an adventurer and have a Vision so that her parents can finally stop working and come home. It's sad to think that she'll grow up and find out her mother was dead the whole time.

    - Little Nine mentions that her village “up north” was swept away by flood. If you check the map, North from where she is....... lays the Oceanid.
    - Her “brother” (actually brotherly neighbor) is Chang the Ninth, that writer on a quest we did that wants to become famous. He’s all grown up now. He wants fame cus he’s hoping that one day, if his sister picks up his book, she will come to find him... The whole family was separated; no news that she died.
    - Little Nine was clinging on to a book in her quest, saying how her brother wrote it “specially for her.” That’s the same book Chang was referring to.

    Time for a theory. The man that sings rhymes for his daughter at night, yeah. His daughter might just be Dusky Ming from the quest where you feed Xiao almond tofu but the chef gives you a quest to inspect the ghost and she leads you to a ruin hunter. And after the ruin hunter was defeated, you could see her dancing and singing a rhyme about hilichurls (which most likely could have been taught in her school or just someone taught her.) And remember how he said that he had went to Liyue? Why was Dusky Ming in Liyue in a restaurant? Maybe she was in a search for her father in Liyue because she knew that her father came to Liyue? So there could be a slight chance that Dusky Ming is indeed, his daughter.

    In his notes, he said that he wanted us to put some food on the bowl for the foxes and he hoped he could bring Joel with him to see the foxes next time. The only option is to jump off a cliff, below the cliff, I found yhe copy of Boar Princess and his dad's bag. It was hard to tell Joel abou what happened to his dad.

    I just today found your video.. There are lots of NPCs like him.. I tried to talk to most of them and went crying.. Like true Stanley's death.. And much more.. Hope genshin allows us to make them together again.. I would feel very happy and satisfied.

    In Liyue Harbor (during the daytime only), you can find two children named Yi Xian and Yi Zhu.
    Yi Zhu: Come on Yi Xian, there's a good girl. It's home time...
    Yi Xian: I'm not going home! I'm going to look for Mommy!
    Yi Zhu: But Mommy isn't coming home...
    Yi Xian: *sobs* Why won't Mommy come home... Does Mommy not love us anymore?
    Yi Zhu: Hey, don't say such silly things...
    Yi Xian: But, but... I know I saw the lady with black clothes bring Mommy here... *sobs*
    Yi Zhu: Yi Xian, what happened was... Mommy is one of the stars in the sky now.
    Yi Xian: You mean Mommy isn't sleeping anymore? ...You're lying, I don't believe you!
    Yi Zhu: I'm telling the truth, Yi Xian... Listen, how about we wait till nighttime and I take you up onto the roof? When you see the starlight, you will feel Mommy's loving eyes looking down...

    The amount of sad back stories in the NPCs is worrying....

    Don't forget to check Jiangxue, he has a very interesting backstory, he's usually fishing in the pier of Wangshu Inn.

      Not all, but most of them. GI world is pretty much at pre industrial revolution in term of civilization scale. As matter of fact, thr global avaerage life exoectency in our time line was not significantly increased until after WWII while social walfare improve along with technology advancement. Hence, children dyimg before reaching adulthood, man lost wife, wife lost husband or the whole family is dead are... Lets say too common.

    While we're talking about sad stuff, Mingyun Village in Liyue. It's abandoned, and the quest that reveals why is kinda a bit sad.

    There's also someone with a sad backstory at wangshu inn. His name is Jiangxue. He can be often seen in commissions like Yan Xiao's dilemma as such.. He can be seen at the lower docks at the inn.
