The fact that him and changsheng switched eyes is amazing

[samuraienggine]

"None. this contract... will end with me" this gave me chills

[rariscribbles]

Baizhu's story quest was genuinely the most beautiful🥲💚 I love Changsheng and Baizhu so much more as I already do

[Starial.astre]

His story quest was so refreshing and calm, not much fighting and a lot of conversations. It was so calming to stay on my chair and listen to the whole quest. Genshin has been really giving us good story quests lately.

[myaachoom]

can't believe people judged him prematurely because of a few lines in Qiqi's story profile. Meanwhile, he's a genuine doctor who wants to save people and isn't willing to sacrifice another disciple's life for this contract.

I love the contrast between the two doctors in game, Dottore and Baizhu. They look a little bit similar, but their personalities and work ethics are just so different.

Baizhu is very calm and wants to help, even at the cost of his own life.

Dottore is another type of calm, an eerie type of calm, and he doesn't care if his experiments die, he'll just find another.

(But yeah, one is an actual doctor, the other more of a crazy scientist, but still.)

[ligglyhart]

Baizhu was very mysterious for a long time, but I'm so glad we got to meet him and understand his intentions in this story quest. I really enjoyed it and make me appreciate Baizhu a whole lot more

[enjiikun]

Baizhu’s quest did not have a lot of monster fights, it was so calm, a lot of talking, yes, but they were all important conversations. No time wasted.

This is an example of a Story Quest done right. It really fleshed out Baizhu as a character.

[sindy]

If you look at Baizhu's character story 5, you will find that baizhu has gone through a lot of hardships on this road. Because of transferring the patient's pain to himself, Baizhu often gets sick, with fever, chills, dyspnea and severe pain all over the body. He even realized that he might not be able to survive. It is definitely not as calm and peace as he said on the surface, it was more like a tough battle.
My heart hurt for him😭

[crystalpixiedust]

Baizhu has quickly turned into my most favourite character. He is always so calm and his voice is also so soothing. I just hope he doesn't die in the near future 😭

Story- Long ago, Changsheng lived in the mountains of Chenyu Vale. One day, a desperate doctor who had lost his family to a deadly plague had traveled to the Vale, searching for the Herblord. Arriving at the Herblord's residence, he found only an extremely weakened white snake. Changsheng offered to make the contract known as the "Way of the Dragon-Dragging Jade Snake" and teach him her secret arts of healing, while also warning that though it would give him powerful healing abilities, it would also harm his own health. Despite the risks, the doctor accepted and the two bonded their lives together, their eyes swapping with each other. Using his own lifeforce and Changsheng, the doctor saved many, at great cost to himself. Before his death, he passed down Changsheng and her contract to his disciple.

The doctor's successors used their lifeforce to save countless lives, at the cost of their own. This cycle continued for generations and had at least four successors. When Baizhu's master was on his final days, he sought to use the art to save his disciple's beloved from a rare congenital heart condition. The woman refused, as she saw Changsheng's lifeforce manipulation as evil and unnatural, and didn't want him to sacrifice his life for hers, as she loved him too. Her pleas shook the man and made him question his views, as she'd made him realize that the lives of Changsheng's contractors were also valuable. In his final moments, he left a letter to Baizhu in which he asked him a single thing: "May you find a remedy for this conundrum, which has ailed us so..."

While they stood in front of his master's grave, Baizhu and Changsheng had a conversation. She showed regret at her inability to save her contractors, while Baizhu asked what would happen if he refused the contract and left her without a host. When she said she'd spend her final moments sleeping at Mount Yaojun and wait to be reunited with her late friends, Baizhu accepted the contract, to Changsheng's slight regret. When she showed fear over how many more would accept the contract and give their lives, Baizhu promised her that none would do so and that the contract would end with him. Baizhu was determined to become immortal, and this determination resulted in him being granted a Vision.

4:15 "This contract will end with me"

Baizhu sounds(and looks) so badass yet so elegant and at peace, though the more meaning behind it is that he will take that contract/curse to the grave with himself, damn it Mihoyo, you gave us such a good character

[asa_hira]

“The contract will end with me”

That one line send shivers. That words so powerful yet so beautiful.

[sandyriver]

The butterfly. It is from the adeptus repose. And the old friends: fujin and lingyuan

[aslhanyildirim]

I am a doctor and this story actually made me tear up

[tanggangmy]

Damn, whoever wrote this story should get an award! Hoyoverse never disappoints us!

[Hyopomora]

One of the best story quests. You could really feel the emotion and beauty in this story, as though it were a rare flower. Elegant but invigorating. An even bigger treat that it was Baizhu's story, a genuinely calm but interesting experience.

[Pudding]

"None. This contract... will end with me."
Is a hella powerful line. The contract will end with him because he doesn't wish anyone else to bear such a responsibility? Or because Baizhu's aiming to rid the world of a sickness in particular? Either way, amazing stuff.

[lemonem_]

Baizhu by far has to be one of my favorite characters, him and Changsheng just are so different yet the same which adds a balance that I love

[dani_cute]

And I thought Baizhu had hidden dark motives, but he turned out to be one of the purest people of Teyvat.
