Qi Shu is a tree, and a regular on the flower shop's return list.
Today is the nth time he has been returned. His grandfather was so angry he had to take blood pressure medication, and threatened to dump him at the Spirit Management Bureau if he couldn't sell him this time.
To avoid being taken in, Qi Shu desperately showed off his charms to every customer, until a man passing the flower shop casually pointed at him and had him packed up and taken away.
When Qi Shu opened his eyes again, a pretty pink bow had been tied to his branches, and the whole tree had been delivered to a mansion.
The owner of the house was so handsome it was outrageous, but he didn't like trees. There were dead flowers still sitting on the balcony. Remembering his grandfather's warning, Qi Shu gritted his teeth and tried to win him over.
But this man really didn't know how to care for a tree!
When he was about to wilt and die, Qi Shu secretly moved his roots toward the door in the middle of the night. He could always become a wandering tree.
The first time, the butler caught him and carried him back. The second time, the ground was so slippery that his pot shattered, and his branches trembled with pain.
The third time, the handsome man turned on the light and coldly watched him move. "Run again and I'll cut off all your branches and send you to the Bureau."
Qi Shu didn't dare move his roots anymore.
Who could have guessed that this man, hated by every plant and flower, was a consultant for the Bureau?
All he could do was take human form late at night and stand resentfully beside the man's bed. But before he could even get a curse out, he was hauled into bed.
"Sleeping with me is part of a pet's duties."
Qi Shu: Screaming and writhing.
Joining the Spirit Management Bureau had never been Pei Lian's idea. He couldn't stand the researchers there, all beasts in human skin, and spent his days either slacking off or skipping work.
Until one day, a tree appeared in his house. Pei Lian spotted at once that it was on the verge of taking human form. It secretly shared water with the other flowers and tried to move outside in the middle of the night.
Pei Lian couldn't take it anymore. He picked up the tree and carried it inside.
Then the tree took human form and gave him a vicious headbutt.
Later, Pei Lian finally coaxed the innocent tree into calling him "husband."
Every day, after coming home from the Spirit Management Bureau, he would see the tree sitting on the sofa with its legs crossed, eating snacks and watching TV, before calling him "husband."
With a moo, Pei Lian went and took on a few more jobs.
