After three years of struggling in the big city, Chu Zhishui finally managed to save enough money to buy a home. However, she discovered that she was the only human in her new workplace?

Chu Zhishui: Are even supernatural creatures seeking stable jobs with iron rice bowls now?

In the office, Chu Zhishui gradually adapted to working at the supernatural bureau. Despite her diligence and dedication, she couldn’t escape the gossip and social niceties of a small town, facing the enthusiastic attention of the matchmaking department head.

Supernatural Department Head: “Little Chu, you’re doing so well at work. Have you considered settling down and starting a family? Let me set you up with someone. Do you have any requirements?”

Chu Zhishui silently recited the mantra of singlehood in her mind, but not wanting to dampen the mood, she decided to be deliberately demanding: “I don’t ask for much in a partner. Just someone good-looking, filial to my parents, capable of doing housework, and able to earn money to support the family…”

The supernatural department head replied readily: “Great, I’ll find someone for you!”

Chu Zhishui steeled herself and added with gritted teeth: “…and they must be able to bear children!”

Just as she thought the department head would give up, the other party had a sudden realization: “The one in your office can bear children! Why don’t you just admit you like him?”

Chu Zhishui: ???

Chu Zhishui: I thought I could slack off at my job in the supernatural bureau, but it turns out that was just wishful thinking.

The bickering rapport between the main leads is absolute gold—witty, charming, and endlessly entertaining. I loved their dynamic; it's rare to see such natural chemistry written so well. This novel is a true gem that keeps you smiling from beginning to end. The humor is sharp without ever being crass, striking just the right balance. The ML is downright lovable, and I adored the FL's temperament. Honestly, the entire story is masterfully crafted. The plot may be simple at its core but the execution just drips finesse. It doesn't just... more>> exceed expectations but goes above and beyond them. Quality through and through. Definitely going on my all time favourite list. <<less

It was a unique concept. A human working in a monster company. Not a lot of FMC novels like this.

The relationship between MC and ML is really fun to read about. No arrogant CEO vs damsel in distress trope in this novel. MC is a cool, strong and hardworking person and ML while reviled by the rest of the demons due to his strength doesn't misuse his power. They are such a fun, bickering couple.

However the main storyline was reduced to a few pages and nothing much happens in the... more>> novel. As in it does not have a very engaging plot. <<less

cute story, bickering between MC and ML is the highlight. Laid back, slice-of-life with no drama and slightly comedic. A short, entertaining read to pass the time.

have read authors other works too and they are fairly good, recommended.

I enjoyed it. For some, it might seem a bit boring—and, yes, it can be if you are used to reading more action-packed novels—but overall I think it was a pretty fun read. I also liked the comedy and somewhat unique ideas in the novel.

Thought it was quite a cute, slice of life novel. Nothing angsty or dramatic. I feel like it deserved a higher rating (at least a 4.0). Another reviewer wrote that the plot can be a bit unengaging and I somewhat agree with it because, again, nothing dramatic happens. But, that's kinda the point. It's a slice of life novel that talks about a human working with demons. I can't dock points for false advertisement or expectations. I did, however, dock points for the translation. Akknovels is a machine translation site... more>> (only a little better than Shanghai Fantasy). I've read previous works there and this is not the worst but enough for me to be bugged by it. <<less
