The Phoenix Perches on the Parasol Tree

Currently serializing: "Tu Nan"

Blurb:

Bo Xin: Mother, I have a father.

A Li (a little troubled): I thought you were a product of self-fertilization. So you aren't? Then what is your father?

Bo Xin: Father is a tree.

A Li: Then he definitely isn't your biological father.

Bo Xin: How could that be? He is my biological father.

A Li: DNA says you're my biological son. And aside from the fact that I'm a bird with normal tastes and preferences, even if I were open to anything, I wouldn't be depraved enough to screw a tree.

Many years later.

A Li: It's actually pretty good!

Other upcoming stories:

"A Feasibility Report on Social Care in the Yushi Kingdom"

What's the hardest thing about bringing long-lived and short-lived species together to form a country?

Different species have different worldviews.

The Yushi Kingdom has officially announced: Short-lived residents who are willing to work at the Yinglong Kindergarten and help care for the younglings will receive generous wages and three meals a day. The meals will match the Yinglong younglings' menu: whatever the younglings eat, the elderly eat.

Hiring requirements: Applicants must be over fifty-five. Disabilities, dementia, and chronic illness are all acceptable, as long as it isn't contagious. Being too old to walk is no problem. The older, the better. Also, the work contract is a life-and-death pact.

The whole country was in an uproar, and then a large number of elderly people were sent to the kindergarten.

P.S. This is also a side story for "Immortal," but it's not set in the past. It's a story set in a later era, in the Yushi Empire founded after the Yinglong came ashore.

"Chang Yi"

Have you ever seen a god?

Fei: I have. When I crossed the endless darkness, I saw a flower. That was a god, but she is someone I cannot love, and she thinks my feelings for her are just youthful ignorance.

A prequel to "Immortal."

A teacher-student romance, probably. Female teacher, male student. A story set in the world of "Immortal."

"Zhi Ming"

The heroine's perspective:

Greed is the source of my drive., Jiang Yan

To climb higher, Jiang Yan fought and struggled all the way up, ultimately reaching a position second only to one person, and even reduced that person to a figurehead. But that person is so handsome. If I hold the highest power, what's wrong with sleeping with the most beautiful man?

The hero's perspective:

The most miserable thing in life is to have no talent for governing, yet be forced to sit on the jade throne and bear the burden of the nation's fate. Even worse, I can tell all the shamans are deceiving me and trying to control me. I wouldn't mind them lying to me and trying to control me in order to gain power. I don't even care about power. But they hold authority and refuse to do any work.

Damn, where did this capable workaholic come from? Sure, you're also lying to me and trying to control me, but I'll forgive you since you're competent and willing to do the work.

What the hell, I gave you power so you'd work better, not so you'd lust after my body.

A story set in the world of "Immortal."

What's a teacher's greatest failure?
