Wen Tian, on the way to send off his sister, was kidnapped by some people.... more>>

The multitude of bandits, happy and delighted: Boss, Boss, we have kidnapped a pleasant-looking wife for you.

Wen Tian: QAQ

The Bandit Leader: Come, my wife, let me look at you, baby.

Sifang Town has been bustling with liveliness recently. The town’s best-looking Young Master Wen has been missing for half the month and suddenly returns with a man.

The wild man, called Chu XiangTian, is the head of the bandits in the West Mountain. Rumors said that he was a devil who killed people without blinking.

Everyone sighs incessantly. Young Master Wen is truly pitiful…

Young Master Wen, whom the people said were pitiful, stares fiercely with wide and round eyes. “You sleep in the study room at night!!”

The tall and burly man immediately has a black face.

Wen Tian, with pouting lips, says, “You are being fierce….. QAQ”

Chu XiangTian softens and itches to hold that person in his arms. <<less

After the 108th Monster Population Census, the Monster Family Planning Office issued a new regulation: Given the rising single monster population, which poses a threat to the society and undermines the harmony between humans and monsters, Monster Family Planning Office decided that from this day onward it’s forbidden to be a single monster of marriageable age.... more>>

As a result, Ying Qiao and Tao Tie, two ancient monsters who had remained single ever since their creation, were forced to go on a blind date.

To discourage their date, they both decided to lie about what they truly were.

Ying Qiao: “I am an orphan snake monster with no house and car under my name. My monthly salary is three thousand yuan. Can’t afford social insurance.”

Tao Tie: “I have a temporary job and eight brothers living off my eighty yuan daily salary.”

They both agreed they were not a good fit for each other. But under pressure, they agreed to put on a show to set a good example for the benefit of the new regulation. They planned to be a fake couple.

A foreign monster entered their nation illegally and committed many crimes. Jiang City Monster Bureau was put on high alert, and elite members were deployed to hunt for the suspect.

After having his dragon scales polished, Ying Qiao spread his wings and joined the hunt.

Putting his brother into his pocket, Tao Tie went out to join the hunt too.

In the sky above Jiang City, they had a chance encounter.

Curling his tail to hide his expensive jade tail ring, Ying Qiao said.” I am on a business trip.”

Putting his hand behind his back to hide his wristwatch worth a million, Tao Tie said.” What a coincidence, so am I.”

Knowing that their lies were exposed, they stared at each other long and hard. They both said, “We will settle accounts after getting back.” <<less

Ye Yunting, the unfavored eldest son of the Duke of Qi, was married by an imperial edict to Prince Yong’an, Li Fengqi.... more>>

Prince Yong’an was the undisputed war god who defended the northern border, where he slaughtered countless enemies.

Yet by the time Ye Yunting arrived at his estate, the war god had already been poisoned, his meridians severed, leaving him bedridden and clinging desperately to life.

Ye Yunting’s heart turned to ash when he married Li Fengqi, terrified of the man’s fearsome reputation. He spent his days hiding within the confines of his own courtyard, enduring each moment as it came. Before long, he accidentally consumed a poison meant for Li Fengqi, sending him to his death.

On his deathbed, the supposedly-dying Li Fengqi knelt before Ye Yunting’s bedside, clasping his hand and solemnly promising, “Your life was taken because of me; from now on, I will protect your family with all my might. Go in peace.”

Later, after ascending the throne, the prince kept his promise and protected Ye Yunting’s sole remaining family member.

In this reborn life, Ye Yunting still could not escape the fate of being wed to the Prince Yong’an. This time, however, he resolved to properly care for this frail man, repaying the kindness shown to him in their previous lifetime.

He never expected that once the man recovered, he would eagerly take Ye Yunting’s hand and declare himself willing to offer his body in exchange.

The man embraced Ye Yunting tightly, saying, “Rest assured, stay by my side, and from now on, I shall protect you.”
