Ning Zhixia, after graduating from the Academy of Fine Arts, struggled to find a job. In frustration, he returned to his hometown and opened a nail salon.

Business boomed, and the response was excellent. After a while, Ning Zhixia noticed that every night at 7:28, strangely dressed customers would come in.

Adhering to the principles of “customer first” and “getting rich,” Ning Zhixia suppressed his curiosity and focused on his work.

Until one day, strange comments began appearing on his shop’s social media page:

“The owner has a wide range of styles and great aesthetics. He even complimented my nail shape and said I didn’t need extensions, heehee! The only problem is that there were too many glitter flakes, making it a little inconvenient to rip out hearts…”

“This shop is amazing! I was dazzled by the color selection. The owner is very patient. My four hooves are sparkling, and I don’t even want to step on the lava in hell anymore!”

“Oh ho ho ho, such a pleasant surprise! Because of my racial characteristics, it’s not convenient to have long nails, but I didn’t expect the little brother’s skills to be so good. He can make even short round nails look both pure and seductive! It’s just that the little brother is too shy to cook with me. He’s afraid of using his magic to replenish it, what’s there to be afraid of…”

While Ning Zhixia was feeling apprehensive, a man claiming to be from the Dimensional Management Bureau visited him, presenting him with a banner, a bonus, and the Outstanding Youth of the Dimensions Award.

Only then did Ning Zhixia realize that those customers were rebellious troublemakers from different dimensions. Ever since they started coming to his nail salon:

The heartless corpses of the mysterious ancient city stopped appearing.

The scorching lava of the abyssal hell stopped erupting randomly.

The parchment scrolls of the magical world turned into fashion magazines.

Ning Zhixia was puzzled, shocked, and then proudly puffed out his chest as he accepted the prize.

So what if they’re not human? Who says non-humans can’t get manicures?

A mysterious shop specializing in services for non-humans was born, traversing various dimensions.

Thanks to his diverse nail art skills, the shop received rave reviews, and its reputation soared. Not only did monster apprentices come to learn from him, but he also opened branches in other dimensions.

Ning Zhixia’s confidence exploded: “I am the godfather of aesthetics, unifying the aesthetic standards of non-humans!”

To maintain order, the director of the Dimensional Management Bureau personally took charge.

Audrow curiously touched everything in the shop, staring at Ning Zhixia and asking, “Can I get one?”

Ning Zhixia, smug, generously offered to the director he had become familiar with, “Do you want one? It’s on the house!”

Audrow smiled slightly, placing his shimmering fishtail on Ning Zhixia’s leg: “Do it.”

Dude, why do you have so many scales?!

Ning Zhixia felt dizzy: “I… I can’t do it…”

“It’s okay.” Audrow firmly held down the young man who was trying to escape, leaning in and saying—

“You lie down, and I can do it too.”

Slice of life style, easy reading.

The summary doesn't actually happen, MC finds out about monsters and the various worlds basically immediately. Similar to xxxholic, his nail shop connects to various worlds and different monsters come to him and eventually become his friends.

The first 20 chapters are kind of childish but once you get into the story, it's light and cute. MC is a shameless type of person so he's fun to read about.

Despite the various in-story warnings about ML's race, he's actually pretty controlled and nice to MC. He starts... more>> off cool and disinterested but as MC hops around in front of him, he slowly starts to get more invested. Even though mermaids are basically obsessed yanderes, he's pretty mild. He tests MC here and there to see if he's scared but he's actually really clingy (in his own way) and tries to follow human courting Vs pure mermaid instincts, although once MC gives permission.. ;) Honestly, I skimmed most of the long descriptions of MC creating his nail art. It's like novels with long cooking descriptions lol.

There's also this weird subplot (?) about MC and his fate that feels slightly out of place and gets resolved with no tension at the end. Honestly, I think the author just wanted a way for MC to stay with ML for a long time. <<less
