Synopsis
[A treasure-spitting mouse heroine whose luck with money goes up when she's near people, and an urban legend exterminator hero who can hear monsters' thoughts]
1.
When Shu Yi first came to the human world, she was half-coaxed and half-tricked into tying a Soul Knot with Shen Zhizhou, a man she'd just met.
Shen Zhizhou told Shu Yi that his true identity was an urban legend exterminator. His job was to protect the peace of the human world and eliminate evil monsters causing trouble.
Shu Yi: "But I'm a mouse demon. Is this really okay?"
Shen Zhizhou: "I'll pay you fifty yuan a month to help me eliminate urban legends, plus a ten-yuan commission for each one. Also, your true form is a divine beast called the treasure-spitting mouse. People around you will enjoy great wealth."
Shu Yi's eyes lit up. "You can count on me, boss!"
Money can make a mouse turn a millstone, but Shu Yi still had some doubts about her true form. Shen Zhizhou simply took her to the place that could prove it best: a lottery shop.
With a grand wave of his hand, Shen Zhizhou bought a whole pack of unopened scratch-off tickets, split them in half with Shu Yi, and proposed a contest to see who could win the most.
Shu Yi put her head down and scratched away with all her might, finally winning a whopping five yuan!
Meanwhile, Shen Zhizhou grinned as he pocketed a hard-earned 200,000 yuan!
Even the idle onlookers nearby won several hundred yuan.
Clutching her scratch-off tickets, Shu Yi grabbed Shen Zhizhou's leg and sobbed uncontrollably.
As a treasure-spitting mouse with the power to bring people wealth, why did she bring good fortune to everyone except herself?
2.
While accompanying Shen Zhizhou on his assignments, Shu Yi discovered that all the monsters living in the human world were struggling to make a living.
Mousey couldn't bear to see it. Mousey clenched her fists.
She decided to lead her fellow monsters to prosperity and boost the monster economy! From among the monsters, back to the monsters~
Shen Zhizhou: "How many times have I told you? You're not a demon... you're a divine beast, the treasure-spitting mouse! And don't even think about pulling stunts just because I can hear monsters' thoughts. Don't even think about it."
Mousey blinked her big eyes and gazed at Shen Zhizhou with a pitiful look. It gave him goosebumps, and he could only raise both hands in surrender.
So Shu Yi and Shen Zhizhou worked together to build not only a Monster Affairs Bureau, but also an... employment agency. They used their respective abilities to give monsters with nowhere else to turn a chance to support themselves.
When they heard about it, monsters flocked to Shu Yi and Shen Zhizhou, hoping for a chance to establish themselves in the human world.
Shen Zhizhou served as chief financial officer, making the best use of resources and keeping costs down while finding new sources of income. Shu Yi, meanwhile, was so busy her feet barely touched the ground, recording the strengths of all kinds of monsters so she could recommend jobs suited to each one.
One day, a duck demon uncle, carrying a snakeskin sack he'd picked up somewhere, introduced himself to Shu Yi with a kindly smile as he looked for work. "Missy, I can fix air conditioners..." At the same time, he unfurled a banner the monsters had specially prepared for her.
Shu Yi opened it and saw the words: [Thanks to Mousey for leading the monsters back to work!]

Title: What Should I Do After a Blind Date with My Mortal Enemy Turns into the Real Thing? (Also known as: Nobody Wants You Either?)
One-line pitch: How can a mutual descent into madness not count as love?
Synopsis:
1.
After graduating, Chen Zui opened a matchmaking agency that provided proxy dating services for single people who didn't want to date or get married.
But she never expected that she, a force to be reckoned with who could outwit all kinds of bizarre men, would one day be forced by her parents to go on a blind date. Her parents had even compared their birth charts and declared the pair a match made in heaven, destined to be together.
On the day of the blind date, Chen Zui dressed like a young punk. She deliberately drew her eyeliner all the way to her temples, painted her lips as if she were about to eat a child, and put on a pair of sky-high heels to meet this supposedly heaven-sent match.
In the cafe, a man in tight pants and bean shoes, with yellow hair and chewing gum, caught Chen Zui's attention.
When he looked up, Chen Zui was struck as if by lightning. The world really was too small.
Her mother had said it was a match made in heaven, and sure enough, only the last word was believable.
As far as Chen Zui was concerned, this was a curse of a match.
In the cafe sat Si Li, her mortal enemy from elementary school through high school. He looked her up and down, then asked with a gossipy air, "I heard you're having the time of your life playing around with men out there, making them love you and hate you?"
"That's right. I especially like playing around with small-minded, mean, brainless men like you."
2.
Si Li had only gone on the blind date because his parents had forced him. They said that as a voice actor, he only ever met guys, and even if he did meet women, with a mouth as vicious as his, nobody would ever want him.
To sabotage the blind date, Si Li tried every trick in the book. He pretended to be a young punk, then posed as a plain, honest guy who was colorless, odorless, and deadly poisonous. He even announced, without batting an eye, that he was gay during a date, earning himself a splash of cold water from the woman.
Until he met Chen Zui.
He curbed his sharp tongue and habit of arguing with people, carefully researched dating tips online, and earnestly asked his friends in the honeymoon phase for advice. He wanted to turn his fake romance with Chen Zui into the real thing.
Then one day, Si Li accidentally found Chen Zui's search history, and his faith crumbled on the spot.
[What should I do when a man gets horny?]
[Should I castrate him or sleep with him? Which would be better? Please answer fast, it's urgent!]
Only then did Si Li realize, a little too late, that his mother was practically a prophet.
So... nobody really wanted him.
A short scene:
Inside the cramped, enclosed cabin of a Ferris wheel, Si Li trapped Chen Zui in the small space between them with one arm. He wrapped the other around her waist and drew her against him, pressing his lips beside her ear. In the voice she loved most, he coaxed, "Don't you need to hear my voice every night before you can fall asleep? Tonight... how about I read to you in person?"
"Anything I want?" Chen Zui asked, biting her lip and looking up at him with a sly smile.
"Of course. Tonight, I'm all yours..."
