Genshin Impact: Transmigrated as Furina's Second Personality

Performances were Furina's forte—Felina had absolutely no talent in this area.

What could she possibly do?

"Huh? What's going on with Lady Furina?

"Why is she just standing on stage without moving?"

"Is she unprepared? Or has she forgotten the lyrics?"

"Don't be ridiculous! Lady Furina is Fontaine's greatest star—there's no way she'd forget the lyrics!"

"Maybe she's not feeling well?"

The audience's chatter grew louder, and some murmurs of doubt began to arise.

"What should I do?"

Still receiving no response from Furina, Felina realized she had no choice but to rely on herself.

Desperately brainstorming, Felina forced her mind into overdrive, producing an ingenuity surpassing even her efforts to outmaneuver Sumeru. Finally, her eyes lit up—she had an idea!

She didn't particularly enjoy singing and had hardly listened to music in her past life, but there was one song she did know.

As the murmurs in the audience grew louder, Felina took a deep breath to calm herself. She clapped her hands sharply, and the crisp sound reverberated through the hall, instantly silencing the crowd.

"Ahem!"

Adopting Furina's signature theatrical tone, she began:

"Hahaha!"

"My beloved citizens, when it comes to performances, the most important element is often to deliver an unexpected surprise to the audience!"

"I have been reflecting just now—while Fontaine's traditional operas are magnificent, they tend to be repeated on this stage again and again. Over time, they inevitably lose their charm."

"The world is ever-changing, constantly innovating. Shouldn't music do the same?"

"And so, I have decided to cancel the originally planned opera and instead present a brand-new song I've composed!"

!!!

The crowd erupted into an uproar!

"A new creation by Lady Furina?!"

"Is this for real?!"

"Art should indeed surprise and delight!"

"To think we'd have the privilege of hearing a new piece by Lady Furina—what a blessing!"

Furina was Fontaine's most celebrated star, and most of the audience were her devoted fans.

It was akin to attending a concert expecting your idol to perform classic hits, only for them to announce they'd be debuting an unreleased album live.

For fans, this was pure exhilaration.

As the audience buzzed with excitement, Felina exhaled in relief. She continued:

"This new piece was inspired by an experience I had while traveling in our neighboring nation of Liyue years ago."

"Centuries ago, there was a place in Liyue called 'Kaifeng,' known for its exquisite cuisine."

"At the time, I dined at a local eatery and saw a commoner enjoying Kaifeng delicacies after a week of hard work."

"This year, I had the pleasure of watching a traditional opera performed by a certain Miss Yun Jin in Liyue, whose singing deeply moved me. Ever since, I've wanted to try this style myself."

"And so, I created this piece to capture the sights and sounds of Kaifeng in Liyue, performed in its traditional operatic style!"

"And now…"

Mimicking Furina's dramatic pose from the game when using her Elemental Skill, Felina struck a flamboyant stance before snapping her fingers lightly.

"Let my song begin!"

With the snap, she used the Pure Water Creation technique to summon several Oceanids.

The sprites held instruments crafted from water—guzheng, pipa, erhu, and other traditional Liyue instruments—and began playing under Felina's command.

As the music started, the stage dimmed, and a spotlight illuminated Felina.

Under the audience's rapt gaze, she parted her lips and began to sing:

"She came in hungry and gaunt, but left plump and satisfied~"

"A tale of otherworldly encounters, savoring rare delights~"

"A bite of Orleans chicken first, followed by a fragrant drumstick; next came a Beijing-style wrap, complete with tomato sauce neatly spread!"

"After a week of toil and strife, it was these meals that healed her~ A simple meal of mashed potatoes restored her strength and spirit~"

"Uh?"

The entire audience was dumbfounded.

It wasn't that Felina's singing was bad—she was using Furina's body, and Furina's voice was naturally melodic.

But…

Everyone knew Liyue as a neighboring nation rich in ancient traditions and profound culture.

When they thought of Liyue opera, they envisioned something steeped in history, with poetic lyrics full of elegance and deep meaning.

The lyrics Felina sang? Let's just say they had nothing in common with elegance or profound meaning.

On Fontaine's grand opera stage, five pure Oceanids earnestly played traditional Liyue instruments.

Meanwhile, Felina, using Furina's divine voice, performed these absurd lyrics in the operatic style of Liyue.

The juxtaposition of solemnity and absurdity painted a picture so surreal that it felt like a masterful blend of high art and low comedy.

The imagery her performance evoked was akin to a celestial Liyue adeptus, clad in ethereal white robes, holding a fried chicken drumstick as they descended the slippery stairs of Mt. Aozang—only to slip, dropping the drumstick into a ravine.

It was inexplicably comedic, an artistic masterpiece in its own absurd way.

But the show had begun, and there was no turning back.

Ignoring the audience's stunned reactions, Felina pressed on as she reached the climactic part of the song.

With a powerful voice, she belted out:

"At KFC↑↑↑, she paired cola with wings, devouring them with gusto~"

"Curious onlookers asked why so ravenous? 'It's Crazy Thursday,' she cried out loud!"

"Gnawing on wings, sauce dripping from her lips—her joy unparalleled as she shouted, 'V me 501, stuff my—stomach~~~'"

Several minutes later, Felina finished her performance.

Thanks to Furina's excellent vocal cords, her pitch never faltered, and the delivery was impeccable.

As for the reaction…

The hall fell into complete silence.

Everyone stared at Felina in stunned disbelief.

"This…"

"Did those words really come from Lady Furina's mouth?"

"I can't even describe it…"

"I never imagined I'd live to hear Lady Furina sing something like this."

"But oddly enough… I kind of like it?"

Indeed, they didn't find her performance unpleasant. In fact, they quite enjoyed it.

While Furina was an exceptional singer and performer, her repertoire often consisted of solemn and traditional pieces, carefully curated to match her divine image.

As a result, her performances had become somewhat predictable, and her public persona overly serious.

Felina's unexpected performance, blending the grave tones of Liyue opera with hilariously absurd lyrics, was so absurd that it bordered on brilliance.

Her daring innovation shattered Furina's usual image, magnifying the comedic contrast to abstract perfection.

Furina's long-established performance persona was utterly upended by this unexpected style of singing.

The audience, for their part, found it a refreshing change of pace. They were wholly unprepared for their long-admired idol to reveal such a cute and playful side.

As a result, when the song concluded, the crowd wasn't displeased. Instead, their faces radiated pure delight!

To them, they had just witnessed a new facet of their idol, making her even more complete in their eyes.

The mix of humor and charm only made them love Furina even more.

After a brief moment of stunned silence, the venue erupted with thunderous applause and cheers.

"Lady Furina, you're incredible!"

"Lady Furina, I love you!!"

"I never imagined I'd get to hear a new song from Lady Furina—let alone in a brand-new style!"

"This is amazing! Skipping work to come to the opera was so worth it—my life feels complete!"

Many audience members were so overwhelmed with excitement that their faces turned red. Their fervor was practically indescribable.

But then again, it made sense. In her case, Furina wasn't just an idol elevated by fans to godlike status—she was a literal goddess.

She was a divine being first and a superstar second. Her performances came with the added power of faith, so their enthusiasm was understandable.

Surveying the venue and seeing the audience's joy, Felina breathed a sigh of relief.

"Well then, dear audience, until next time."

She bowed lightly and swiftly left the stage.

"Phew, I managed to pull it off without messing up."

After leaving the opera house, Felina headed straight back to the Palais Mermonia and retired to her room.

"All right, spill it. What's going on?"

Felina sat in her chair and asked, her tone both patient and firm.

"I'm sorry…"

Furina's voice was soft and hesitant, clearly lacking confidence.

Facing Furina, Felina always maintained boundless patience.

With a gentle smile, she reassured her, "It's okay. I'm not upset with you. Can you tell me what's been troubling you?"

"I…"

Furina hesitated for a moment but eventually chose to share her feelings honestly.

As previously mentioned, in Furina's eyes, Felina was simply too exceptional.

Felina's brilliance served as a mirror, reflecting all of Furina's perceived shortcomings.

This stark contrast had left her feeling increasingly inadequate.

She had almost no exceptional talents, yet Felina's abilities continued to grow ever more impressive.

The more dazzling Felina became, the more anxious Furina felt, fearing that one day she would no longer be worthy of Felina.

She was terrified that Felina might one day no longer need her.

Watching someone she cherished soar ever higher while she remained stagnant was both helpless and isolating.

This was the source of her unease.

It was like a wife watching her husband become more successful while she herself made no progress—instinctively fearing she would lose him.

But Furina and Felina's disparity wasn't something that could be bridged through mere effort.

So, Furina had chosen to "run away." She wanted her husband to come home to an empty house and realize her importance.

In this analogy, Furina was the wife, and Felina was the husband.

Driven by her insecurities, Furina had acted out today by refusing to take the stage, leaving Felina to deal with it.

It was her way of making a statement, of showing Felina that she too had value.

Moreover, in Furina's eyes, Felina was so perfect that she wanted to see her stumble—just once. Perhaps then, Felina wouldn't seem so unattainably flawless.

At its core, everything stemmed from Furina's insecurity—her immense regard for Felina and her equally immense self-doubt.

After listening to Furina's heartfelt confession, Felina was left both amused and touched.

"Oh, you…"

"Furina, I'm sorry. I've been so preoccupied lately that I failed to notice your feelings."

She didn't reprimand Furina for her behavior.

In truth, Furina's usual tendencies would have compelled her to take the stage, fearing any questioning of her identity as the Hydro Archon.

But today, Furina had dared to hide backstage and avoid performing—a clear sign of change.

It meant Furina was starting to internalize Felina's words:

A god is a god by their very essence, not because of external validation.

Furina was no longer afraid of others' opinions, a significant shift in her mindset.

This change made Felina genuinely happy.

After a moment of contemplation, Felina spoke again.

"Furina, I'd like to tell you a story. Would you like to hear it?"

"A story? Sure!" Furina's curiosity was instantly piqued.

This is the story of a girl.

The girl was born into an ordinary family—not wealthy, but she had loving parents who doted on her. She was quite happy.

But her bliss was short-lived. At the age of eight, her parents were killed in a car accident on their way to work.

In that instant, the girl's fate was irrevocably altered.

Her parents' inheritance was modest, amounting to just 80,000.

Her relatives—uncles, aunts, and cousins—took turns raising her, shuffling her from house to house weekly.

Had this been motivated by genuine compassion, it wouldn't have been so bad. But her relatives' interest in taking her in stemmed solely from greed for her inheritance.

"Lin, your uncle's family could really use a washing machine. You're living with us now, so wouldn't it be convenient for everyone if you helped buy one?"

"Lin, your aunt's family needs better transportation. Taking you to school is such a hassle; how about a little help?"

"Lin, your cousin needs a new TV to watch cartoons. Too bad we can't afford it—unless you'd like to pitch in?"

She was innocent and naive, viewing them as her family and benefactors, never realizing their true motives were to deplete the funds her parents had left her.

Within a year, her parents' modest inheritance was completely drained under various pretexts.

She had thought her contributions would earn their gratitude.

But instead, her fate took another turn.

"Ha! What a parentless little wretch!"

"You're lucky I even give you a bite to eat—it's more than your parents could manage now!"

"Here, wear these hand-me-downs from your cousin—last year's clothes are perfectly fine for you."

"What? Why should I pay your tuition fees?"
