i've said this before, but maybe it's like amphoreus? from honkai starrail. where ali would be the trailblazer, mimi would be somewhatv like phainon; maybe ali HAS gone to ebiz before, but the feelings developed late and were low and the country fell becuase they had no cure. which would be the first time ali went. but now, ali got the heart gem. so they do have a cure, and it did say he had cracks in his heart, so maybe the healing properties of his blood have something to do with that...?

Don’t know if this has a novel and while many speculations are being thrown in the commont section, most are true but they are probably not whats gonna happen. Because do you guys remember in chapter 1? Mimi’s kingdom is in ruins? I think no matter what, far to the future, the country will fall. Statue mimi has a crack on his body too, past and future connection have become more clearer than before. Now question is, when Li first saw Mimi in beginning chapters, he was a statue protecting a tomb I’d assume probably Li from the past who died? I wonder what really happened
