Blurb:

After accidentally transmigrating into a book, Ye Yu relies on his only low-tier spirit pet, a white cat, to become a junior demon tamer at the Eastern Cultivation Academy.

Junior demon tamers have low status and count only as outer-sect disciples. To be promoted to the inner sect, they need five tamed spirit pets under their command.

So Ye Yu starts adopting pets left and right. Pet count: +N.

[Master, my whole body is turning blue. I’m a little Azure Dragon! Buy me!] the little dragon-man in the water tank cries.

Buy.

[Master! I’m a colorful chick who’ll grow into a Vermilion Bird one day! Feed me!]

Feed.

[They say a turtle can live a thousand years, and a tortoise ten thousand. Don’t you think I look like a Black Tortoise? Take me with you for good luck. I can earn you copper coins.]

Take.

Three of the Four Great Spirit Beasts are accounted for. Ye Yu pats the cat’s head. "Then I’ll call you White Tiger. You’re lucky I’m giving you that name."

The other stray pets also flock to Ye Yu, who has an uncanny knack for attracting fluffy animals. He gives them names at random: Yinglong, Hundun, Qilin, Taotie...

But on the day Ye Yu is due to become an inner-sect disciple, his fellow disciples mock him for being delusional. He has adopted a bunch of weak, sickly, worthless nobodies, utterly ordinary creatures whose names dare to pass themselves off as those of ancient demon beasts.

They call Ye Yu a worthless nobody too and refuse to promote him. Just as he is about to lie flat, his worthless pets get angry.

His fellow disciples are stunned.

So is he.

The whole school erupts.

The beasts all cry, "Hello, big sis-in-law!"

Overnight, Ye Yu’s low-tier spirit pets become the leaders of the ferocious beasts. They not only forcefully declare him theirs, but the young forms of several of the few ancient ferocious beasts still left on the Cultivation Continent are all being raised by him as stray pets.

They even work the night shift to earn money for him.

Ye Yu: I’m just an ordinary demon tamer ^-^

One day, Ye Yu suddenly grows a red tail. No outsider is allowed to touch it, but the beast insists on feeling it and says, "You’re always playing with my tail. Do you know how that makes me feel?"

Ye Yu looks at the cold-faced man beside him and hides his tail. "No way, no way. How did you manage to get a partner too?"

Everyone says the leader of the ferocious beasts is a wife-protecting maniac, but Ye Yu thinks the guy is clearly a jealous beast in human form.

New story: After My Online Romance with My Handsome Dormmate Goes Off the Rails

On the first day of school, everyone creates a dorm group chat and adds one another on WeChat. Gu Wang notices that his roommate Sui Yi is using a photo of Gu Wang’s back as his profile picture. He looks up at him and smiles. "Sui Yi, are you really secretly in love with me?"

They attended the same high school and never said a word to each other in three years, yet rumors had it that they were madly in love.

They never expected to end up in the same dorm after starting university.

The most popular poll on their high school forum, still going strong, asks: [Gu Wang and Sui Yi: Who fell first?]

Everyone says, "Sui Yi is so handsome. He could easily use a selfie, so he must have fallen first."

The profile-picture incident gives Sui Yi an overwhelming lead over Gu Wang in the votes.

Sui Yi: Damn it! Online pictures are the worst!

After that day, Sui Yi keeps receiving baffling messages from Gu Wang after the lights go out in the dorm.

Gu Wang: [You’ve had it rough.]

Sui Yi: [?]

Gu Wang: [I read those posts. They’re full of clues showing you’ve been secretly in love with me for all three years of high school.]

Sui Yi: [??]

Gu Wang: [You worked so hard just to get into the same university as me, and you even put my photo on your desk.]

Sui Yi: [That was the photo our homeroom teacher sent around after you ranked first in the year. We had to use you as an example. Didn’t you notice the holes I poked in it?]

Gu Wang: [You’re beautiful, but I...]

Sui Yi: [I’m even straighter!]

Humiliated beyond words, and under pressure from the endless rumors that he was hopelessly in love with Gu Wang, Sui Yi registers a second account, pretends to be a mature beauty, and adds Gu Wang as a friend. With his flirtatious tactics, he quickly makes Gu Wang fall madly for him in their online romance.

Once Gu Wang is so devoted to him that he can’t help himself, Sui Yi cruelly invites him to meet in person.

He’s going to make him crash and burn! Burn hard!

On the day they meet, Sui Yi wears gray sweatpants and a plain white hoodie, a lollipop in his mouth. He walks up to Gu Wang, pulls down his baseball cap, and acts like he owns the place.

He takes the lollipop out of his mouth and looks up. "Gu Wang, baby, I’m your online boyfriend. Have you enjoyed being devoted to me?"

Unexpectedly, Gu Wang leans forward and takes a taste of the lollipop. "It’s really sweet. I was the one who brought those high-slit cheongsams and JK skirts from the package station back to the dorm for you."

"???" Sui Yi screams like a startled chicken.

I’m the one who crashed and burned?

The devoted puppy is me: scheming, tea-loving, goofy, loyal, openly flirtatious gong

Vengeful, two-faced, competitive, aloof campus heartthrob shou

New story: After the Transfer Student Stole My Soul

Tong Yun has had an unstable soul since childhood. His family searched everywhere for Taoist priests and tried every folk remedy, but nothing helped much.

One day, a transfer student arrives, and immediately steals Tong Yun’s most unstable soul.

Wonderful news: Tong Yun is normal now. His grades skyrocket, he walks with a spring in his step, and he is full of energy and good spirits.

But Tong Yun never expected that soul to be a copycat. It sticks to Gu Wen all day. When Gu Wen is thirsty, it gets thirsty; when Gu Wen is hungry, it gets cravings; when Gu Wen has a stomachache, it hurts too.

Whenever Gu Wen has a reaction, Tong Yun immediately has one too. It’s so annoying!

He has achieved true empathy: putting himself in someone else’s place, sharing their feelings, and experiencing things firsthand. He can’t bear to let Gu Wen suffer even the slightest grievance.

On Gu Wen’s first day after transferring, he stubs his toe on a desk. Tong Yun feels more pain than anyone else and snaps, "Couldn’t you be more careful?"

Gu Wen: "?"

Tong Yun: "I mean, I feel bad for... the desk."

Gu Wen: "?? The school belongs to your family or something?"

Later.

Tong Yun: "Um, could you maybe not like me so much? I’m getting really conceited."

Gu Wen: "How conceited?"

Tong Yun: "I think I look good everywhere, and I want to kiss myself all over. I can stare in the mirror for ages without snapping out of it. It’s really cutting into my study time."

Gu Wen narrows his eyes. "Anything else?"

Tong Yun blushes. "That’s not happening!"
