What Do I Do If My Kid Ruins My Path to Immortality?

Next up: Don't Guard Against Wolves, Guard Against You, a sweet workplace romance. The blurb is below. Blurb: Other people cultivate immortality by meditating and going on adventures. Yun Tang does it by eating. Not only did she eat her way into having a spiritual root, she even managed to snag a chance to join Yuxi Sect. She can grow vegetables and cook, and makes sure to eat her fill every day. That is, until she picks up a little puppy who can eat even more than she can... For the sake of her cultivation, she can only go down the mountain to set up a stall selling spiritual food, earning a living and feeding her dog. The senior brother is every female cultivator at Yuxi Sect's dream partner. Yun Tang's only improper ambition is to get close to him, learn from him, defeat him, and finally take his place! Who knew that from their very first meeting, she'd become the senior brother's drudge? Filthy shoes, broken swords, rotten skeletons, dirty rocks: he dumps all of them on her. The nerve of him! Pup, bite him! Huh? Where's my pup? Senior Brother: Idiot! -- Cong Yang presents himself as Yuxi Sect's chief disciple, but in truth, he is the guardian beast of the Western Realm's spirit veins. Badly injured while protecting the spirit veins, he had to revert to his juvenile form and hide in the mountains to recuperate. Who would have thought he'd run into a good-for-nothing outer disciple who dared to raise him like a puppy? She rubs him, cuddles him, and sniffs him. She really doesn't know what she's asking for! If he didn't still have a use for her, he would definitely... The little puppy sprawls out and shows her his belly, as if to say: A little higher... Next up: Don't Guard Against Wolves, Guard Against You. A proper, gentlemanly man in public, a shameless big bad wolf in private × a clever, beautiful, and hilariously dramatic woman who thinks men get in the way of making money Blurb: Question: How can a pretty young woman save twenty years of hard work in the workplace? Some rely on being born into the right family. Others marry well. Dong Xixi takes an unconventional route and simply pretends she's already put in twenty years of hard work. She even puts on makeup to look middle-aged, cultivating the image of a plainly dressed but dependable professional who acts flamboyantly yet can be trusted. Everyone calls her Big Sis Dong. But the truth eventually comes out. One day, she was dancing at a music festival in a pretty little dress when her boss caught her red-handed. With one hand in his pocket and a grim expression, the man paced around the room seven or eight times before finally calming down. He narrowed his eyes at her. "Big Sis Dong?" Dong Xixi felt guilty. "I... I was trying to put the boss's wife at ease." The man gritted his teeth and muttered, "No need. I'm not interested in the girl next door, and you don't have a boss's wife to worry about." Fair enough. Her boss was handsome and well-built. He could have anyone he wanted. He wouldn't need to exploit his position, and probably wouldn't even bother to look at her twice. But after playing the queen bee for so long, who would still act like a clueless rookie? Dong Xixi kept dressing dowdy at work and gorgeous after hours, thriving at the company. Until one day, she mistook the group chat name and sent a message meant for her family to the company's main group chat. First came a photo of a hand with a mosquito bite, then a playful message: "It hurts. I won't feel better until the most handsome guy in the group gives it a kiss." Who would dare claim that title? Everyone joked around for a while until, at last, the man with the strongest claim showed up: "Hold out your hand." Dong Xixi and everyone else: !!! Had General Manager Liang been drinking fake liquor? * Liang Yi discovered that the new assistant he'd hired was a total drama queen. Around other men, she was sometimes a cool beauty, sometimes a charming little princess. But in front of him, she was always old and dowdy. So it wasn't wolves she was guarding against, it was him? Liang Yi laughed in exasperation. Fine. * Everyone at the company knew General Manager Liang as a gentleman: proper, warm, and considerate. To put an end to office gossip, he'd even hired a female assistant who was old and dowdy. Everyone assumed Big Sis Dong was the boss's chief eunuch. Until one day, Assistant Ning came back and happened to see the office door open. The boss walked out, collar loosened, suspicious red smudges all over his lips, and a faint handprint on his right cheek. The man licked his bitten lip and looked up calmly. "What are you looking at? Never seen a married couple fight?" The new story, The Amnesiac Dragon's Beloved, is now underway. A lighthearted power fantasy with just a little regret-and-redemption drama. Couple: a gentle, scheming, domineering man × a brash, haughty, spoiled scaredy-cat They say a spirit herb only needs to do two things to become a dragon. First, find a true dragon with overwhelming demonic power who has been badly injured. Second, suck his blood. Suck hard! Feng Yue did exactly that, and successfully became a dragon. The problem was, the one whose blood she drank was a great evil dragon who would slaughter every monster in the abyss whenever he got annoyed! To save her own life, Feng Yue had to come up with a third step herself: Take advantage of the evil dragon's amnesia and pretend to be his beloved. At first, Feng Yue asked curiously, "So what exactly is a wedding night?" "It's..." Ling Junzhuo glanced at the little white dragon head resting on his shoulder. It was hard to imagine sharing a bridal chamber with this little monster. "It means you light candles in a cave at night, and it'd be best to put out some flowers and plants, too. Otherwise, it'd be embarrassing." Feng Yue thought that made sense. So she hooked an arm around his, then wrapped one around his waist, sat on his lap, and kissed him, working hard until she'd won the evil dragon over. Though their wedding cave had no candles, and though he kept calling her a little monster, the great evil dragon spoiled her rotten and even took her back to the Northern Demon Realm to be his queen. In the royal city, Feng Yue spent her days either draped around the great evil dragon's neck, swaggering about, or chasing monsters to fight and compare sizes. Life was heavenly, so she decided she might as well spend the rest of her life with this silly dragon, as two dragons together~ Until the legendary Fairy Yuan Qian, gentle and kind, the one Ling Junzhuo had once proposed to, arrived in the royal city. That was when Feng Yue realized she'd always been his second choice. She didn't want Yuan Qian in the royal city, and he scolded her for being unreasonable. She forbade him from meeting Yuan Qian, and he told her to know her place. She injured Yuan Qian, so he gave her to the woman as a spirit servant. To hell with being a spirit servant! In a fit of rage, Feng Yue breathed fire across ten miles, burned down his palace, badly injured his "beloved," turned the royal city upside down, and fled. Ling Junzhuo, your little monster doesn't want you anymore. Theme: No matter how humble your beginnings, keep striving to catch up. May your efforts eventually bear fruit.
