Blurb:

To save Daiyu, who had fallen into a lake, the Great Sage saw things he shouldn't have.

Since he'd compromised the young lady's good name, he might as well marry her, he thought.

But everyone in the Jia family said, "For the young lady's reputation, young master, just forget about it."

Bai Jin, the local earth god, tried to comfort him. "It's because of your outfit. Daoist priests practice austerities and can't marry."

The Great Sage: "..."

Monks can't marry either, so why had so many women thrown themselves at his master along the pilgrimage?

Maybe he was just unlikeable after all.

A blunt confession:

"Miss, there's no need to be so guarded around me. When you fell into the lake, the water swept your clothes away. I saw more than a little of what I should and shouldn't have seen."

"Since I've compromised your good name, I've been planning to bring you home as my wife."

"If you want to marry into the Duke's family, I'll become a duke. If you'd rather enter a prince's household, I'll build you a princely mansion..."

"None of that would be difficult for me."

"All you have to do is say yes. Just don't keep telling me to forget about it."

With a lovely woman in his arms, how could he possibly forget?

How could he ever forget?

The jealous side comes out:

He's a man. He cares about her, but he can get angry, jealous, and hurt, too.

Jealous and hurt!

Thinking this, he clasped his wife's tightly clenched fist and said, "I only exchanged a few words with your second uncle. Why did you hide away and cry, my lady?"

"Did I say something or talk about someone that upset you?"

Daiyu: "..."

Tears shimmered in the young lady's eyes and rolled in large drops down her cheeks. She cried without making a sound.

The man could do nothing but watch his lovely wife bite her lip and weep silently. He swore, he'd regretted saying it as soon as the words left his mouth.

After a long hesitation, he gently coaxed her. "Don't cry, my lady. You'll ruin your makeup. I was wrong."

"I shouldn't have mentioned him in front of you. I won't do it again."

Daiyu: "..."

1. The pairing is Sun Wukong and Lin Daiyu.

2. Romance-focused, sweet story.

3. Alternate universe! Alternate universe! The timeline is very vague.

4. There's a lot of setup in the early chapters. Feel free to skip it if it's not your thing; it won't affect your reading.

Ongoing novel blurb:

Little Tiger Mingyue was foraging in the mountains when she accidentally brought home a half-grown child in her mouth.

She fed the little one raw meat and fresh blood until he was three and a half.

She was just waiting for the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, when she would take human form and eat him to nourish herself.

But after she'd exhausted all her strength and shakily transformed into a beautiful young woman, a handsome man dressed in black appeared, tears in his eyes, and scooped up the child she'd raised.

In an overly formal tone, he said, "Miss, you saved my brother's only child. Your kindness has given him a second life. If you don't mind, please come home with me. I will treat you well."

Little Tiger looked up, catching the delicious scent of the man and the child in his arms.

The handsome man looks nice and chewy, perfect with a pinch of salt. The tender child would make a tasty soup!

She readily agreed.

The male lead's perspective:

Huo Qi offered a huge reward to find his brother's only child.

For several days, villagers came to his residence, saying they'd heard a tiger roar and a child cry in the woods east of the city.

The Deputy Prefect of the Capital used the excuse of hunting a tiger to search the entire forest. Sure enough, in a sheltered cave, he found his nephew and the person who'd saved his life.

Grateful that the young woman had raised his nephew for three years, and pitying her for being alone, he planned to bring her home and take care of her as well, as a way of repaying her kindness.

But after they'd spent some time together, the always-busy Lord Huo gradually realized that the nephew he'd worked so hard to raise properly could be led astray by the young woman in no time at all.

If he spoke too sternly, the young woman would look as if she wanted to eat him.

The refined and courteous Lord Huo, from a family of scholars, rolled up his sleeves and decided to discipline both the older and younger one.

So the furious little tiger plotted a hundred ways to eat Lord Huo while enjoying the happy moments when he stroked her fur.

Theme: Sun Wukong enters the world of Dream of the Red Chamber and experiences human love and family ties. He's a thousand years old, and he wants a home.
