After He Flunked Out of the Grassland Kindergarten, He Insisted on Spoiling Me

Animal story

Su Tang, a 26-year-old veteran office drone, drops dead late one night after revising the twenty-seventh draft of a proposal.

When she opens her eyes again, she’s a newly weaned honey badger cub, being watched by African wild dogs as if she were a supply of emergency rations.

The good news: her mind is still human.

The bad news: all the grassland animals think the sun has fried the cub’s brain.

The wild dogs teach her to hunt, and she lets her prey escape. An old elephant teaches her to find water, and she sticks her head in and blows bubbles… Su Tang is at her wits’ end: I’m not an idiot, I’m just a delicate little office drone!

When the dry season arrives, Su Tang decides to use human ingenuity to latch onto someone who can provide her with meals for the long term.

She sets her sights on Gu Linshen, the cold, taciturn, lonely-looking director of a reserve camp.

So one rainy night, a honey badger cub “happens” to collapse right outside Gu Linshen’s tent, beginning her shameless campaign to move in and never leave.

Gu Linshen thinks he’s rescued a wild animal, not knowing that he’s found the only “family” in the world.

This is the story of a good-for-nothing office drone who becomes a honey badger and uses the clumsiest, most ridiculous ways to melt a block of ice.

Mutual salvation, nothing romantic. The whole world thinks they’ve crossed the boundaries between species, but he alone knows that she is simply his family.
