[QAQ, please take a look at my upcoming novels! My next books are Beak Buddha and The Hedgehog Spirit I Found Is Actually a Superstar. I’ll do the splits for you, so please add them to your reading list!]

[Completed Short Extra] Wu Laomao’s Thirty-Six Thousand √

[What’s This Novel About?] If you’ve read it and think it’s all right, sweethearts, please leave it a rating.

Childhood friends X childhood friends, a married police couple raising a child and solving cases in their daily lives. They have a marriage certificate, which I drew myself.

First, a warning: this is a long-winded slice-of-life story. The domestic storyline and the cases unfold at the same time, and evidence and clues are scattered in all sorts of baffling places. If you can’t stand that, please move along.

Main couple: a fretful, fatherly elite squad captain gong VS a multiple-personality undercover rookie cop shou, a doting old married couple, sugary sweet and shamelessly mushy.

Side couple: a straight-acting, upright, closeted homophobic instructor gong VS a heartbroken young master shou who knows when to avoid trouble. A groveling chase to win his wife back. In my personal opinion, some scum gongs don’t need to be redeemed or put through a groveling chase at all. It’d be best if they just exploded on the spot (but I don’t dare write that).

[First Book of 2021: The Hedgehog Spirit I Found Is Actually a Superstar]

Narcissistic immortal superstar Bai Xun Ye VS a humble, face-blind neighborhood cop

The superstar is a hedgehog immortal.

Everyday life at a neighborhood police station: finding cats, dogs, and children, and helping drunk people find their house keys.

Until one day, late at night in a downpour, a fat rat spirit with matted, hooked fur and mud all over its body came looking for help, sobbing and hiccuping in a panic:

“Uncle Policeman! What do I do? I lost my inner core! I have an on-location shoot in five days, a variety show in seven days, and I have to start filming the year’s biggest IP, ‘Ghostly Romance: An Undying Love in the Underworld,’ in ten days...”

Neighborhood cop He Xiao: “Um... Am I hallucinating because I’ve had too much strong tea? Let me look up the forest police number. Or should I call the zoo? A research institute would work too!”

At first:

The hedgehog immortal’s inner core returns to its place, and he takes human form.

Neighborhood cop He Xiao: “...You should turn back into a rat. A little ball of fur doesn’t take up space, and I won’t have to spend money on clothes for you.”

Hedgehog immortal: QAQ

Later:

Neighborhood cop He Xiao, swooning over variety shows on TV: “There are thousands of good-looking idols, but I only like the one who can turn into a rat.”

Superstar Bai Chun Ye curses as he smacks him on the head: “I’ve told you eight hundred times that I’m a hedgehog immortal! If you still can’t remember my face, you’re dead!”

Neighborhood cop He Xiao: QAQ

[Second Book of 2021: Beak Buddha]

The monk Qi Hui is reborn, and his eyes go wide the moment he opens them.

“May I ask who you are, benefactor?”

Wu Po Wang is so excited his feathers fly everywhere. He twirls and leaps, pressing his hands to his cheeks in bashful delight. “I was your husband in your past life, and I’m your boyfriend in this one~”

“...May I ask what you were just doing?”

Wu Po Wang spreads his black wings, blotting out the sky. Dark as ink and streaked with blood, he flutters his eyelashes at him: ?

“...The Wu clan’s rules say that the down at the base of the wing bones is only given to one’s destined partner. Mine is even fluorescent!”

‘The down at the base of the wing bones... isn’t that just armpit hair?’

The monk Qi Hui holds the fluorescent feather in his hand, careful not to show his disgust too plainly. He reminds himself that Buddha is merciful and decides to put it tactfully:

“...May I ask if you have some old ailment in your head?”

Wu Po Wang pecks him. “Darling, you’re so mean~ I’m not the one who was just reborn~”

Past Life

Wu Po Wang: “Between me and Buddha, who do you believe in?”

Qi Hui: “Buddha.”

Wu Po Wang: “Between me and Buddha, whom do you cling to?”

Qi Hui: “Buddha.”

Wu Po Wang: “Between me and Buddha, whom do you enshrine in your heart?”

Qi Hui: “Buddha.”

Wu Po Wang laughs maniacally, insults Buddha, abandons the Dharma, and kills monks. His red feathers blot out the sun as he pecks away Qi Hui’s Buddha bones. Yet, just before Qi Hui dies, he hears him say:

“I cultivate selflessness and learn to let go. I can let go of Buddha, but I can’t let go of you.”

Present Life

The demon king Wu Po Wang holds the Buddha’s discarded bones in his beak. He kills the Golden Crows, imprisons the Sun Mother, forges a blood-pool abyss, and throws the laws of heaven and earth into chaos.

The Three Realms and Six Paths suffer unbearably. An elite suicide squad of bird-catchers is assembled and sent to attack Xihe Palace.

Who would have thought the demon king would grin and lie flat? In front of all the gods and demons, he pecks out his own red feathers until he’s a bald quail, then leaps into the Five Aggregates Pool. His cultivation is utterly destroyed, and he turns into a wisp of vermilion smoke.

The gods and demons sigh: “In the Five Aggregates Pool, delusions vanish and impurities are cleansed. This demon bird must have been so wantonly arrogant that Heaven’s way could no longer tolerate him.”

That day, the little novice blushes, his shiny bald head turning red, and peeks through his fingers. “Birdie, if you’re going to take human form, why can’t you conjure up some clothes?”

A certain demon king looks wronged and innocent. “Sobs, sobs. The gods and demons all bully me. They burned down my nest, plucked my feathers, and ruined my cultivation. I can’t conjure clothes. Please take pity on me, little monk.”

Demon king VS Buddha bones,

A red-legged crow demon with a flair for drama VS a little novice who sleepwalks all the time,

The red-beaked, red-legged crow spirit who says, “I’m the best under the sun,” VS a lazy, carefree cultivator whose head is as empty as his heart.

A hoarder and chatterbox VS a shut-in who loves throwing things away

[Humble author, please add and review my completed novel Blind Sparrow], a childhood-friends crime-solving story about narcotics enforcement, plot-driven.

[Please take a look at my upcoming novels. I’ll write whichever one gets more interest.]

1. Blood Washed into Pearls, a criminal investigation anthology. The protagonist, Yu Zhuo Zhou, was once the captain of a criminal investigation squad. After being seriously injured by a wrongful conviction, he is suspended and transferred from his post. The story follows him as he uncovers the real culprit and takes revenge. What I most want to write is a criminal investigation novel, so I’ll make sure to plan this one carefully before writing it.

2. ABO Ou [Book Transmigration]. The first thing Liang Ou does after transmigrating into a book is lie on an operating table while someone cuts open his belly and pulls out a baby.

The second thing is to hold the baby and cry, make a scene, and threaten to jump off a building.

The third thing is to spend every day pouring crucian carp soup, egg-drop fermented rice wine, and white kidney bean pork trotter soup into flowerpots so his milk supply won’t dry up.

The fourth thing is to sort out the world’s rules and help the domineering CEO achieve his grand ambitions, all for one little bottle of suppressants each week.

The fifth thing is to dodge the advances of all kinds of wanton, shameless people, including the domineering CEO himself.

(I want to write something lively in a different style, haha.)

You’d think it was a marriage-first, love-later story, but it’s actually a groveling chase to win his wife back. Both leads transmigrate into the book, and the gong arrived one year before the shou. Lots of personal additions, just writing for fun.

3. Blade Against the Wind. Sand blows across the desert, ancient temples stand crooked with age, and the end of the Dharma is a delusion. Bu Jiang He spends half his life in a daze, his bones rotting as ink soaks through.

A dark post-apocalyptic xianxia novel with a huge scope. My writing is awful, and I’m not sure what it’ll turn out like, but I’ll shamelessly ask you to add it to your reading list.

4. Quiet Crows, the final chapter in the narcotics enforcement series.

This novel focuses on the couple’s everyday life: raising their child, disciplining their son, and showing off their affection without shame. The case develops slowly and isn’t a brainteaser or gory (at least, I don’t think it’s gory, insert doge.jpg).

Theme: Train hard and forge a strong police force, serve the country and its people, and strive to be good young people.
