A Socially Anxious Educated Youth in the Seventies, Winning at Life with Beast Taming

Warning: The heroine isn't strong from the start. She has room to grow, so please don't bash the story if that's not your thing!

[Socially anxious, lazy heroine × a prickly, secretly tenderhearted hero who loves fluffy animals]

Bai Xue, a severe social anxiety sufferer, wakes up inside a novel set in the 1970s as a pitiful stutterer ostracized by the educated youth.

To avoid getting caught up in social drama, she volunteers to watch over a “haunted house” deep in the mountains, unaware that she has stepped into the territory of wild beasts.

When the vicious supporting female character reports her for promoting feudal superstition and an investigation team charges up the mountain...

They find a tiger bringing her medicinal herbs, a black bear chopping wood for her, and a pack of wolves sitting obediently at her door, wagging their tails.

The investigators tremble. “Th-this is the mountain god showing itself!”

Lei Xiao, the notorious captain of the security team next door, has been having a headache lately.

His little wife, who blushes and hides behind him whenever she sees a stranger, seems a bit unusual.

Why do poachers keep showing up at their door with bruised faces? Why does a leopard come knocking in the middle of the night to deliver ginseng?

Then, when a blizzard seals off the mountains and he runs out of ammunition and food, he sees Bai Xue riding a white tiger at the head of a stampede of beasts. Her soft voice rings across the snowy wilderness:

“Who dares lay a hand on my man?”
