Even Meng Po Wants a Sip of Soup

This novel will go VIP on Wednesday, January 20. There will be three updates that day, so please show your support! Yue Lan, the Moon Immortal of the Celestial Realm, has been single for ten thousand years. Thanks to a book of dating advice, every married god and goddess considers him a close confidante.

He is graceful and elegant, witty and charming, and beautiful as a spring flower. Yet despite all that, Yue Lan just cannot win the heart of the person he loves.

Meng Yao, the most beautiful woman in the Netherworld, is stunningly cold and aloof, with a temperament as unpredictable as the weather. She has guarded the River of Forgetfulness for tens of thousands of years, sending countless souls on their way. They say even the fiercest vengeful ghosts are no match for her. She can scare little ghosts waiting to be reborn right out of their wits.

One day, after attending the first-month celebration for his friend's tenth child, Yue Lan finally could not hold back. He went to the Netherworld and confessed his feelings to Meng Yao, whom he had secretly loved for tens of thousands of years.

Meng Yao said nothing. She ladled a bowl of freshly made Meng Po Soup from the pot and handed it to him. "You're too handsome. You'll distract me from guiding ghosts to reincarnation and earning merit."

Yue Lan: "..."

This should have been nothing more than gossip about Meng Yao turning Yue Lan down. But just as he confessed and she rejected him, chaos broke out on the Bridge of Helplessness. A group of ghosts entered the cycle of reincarnation without drinking the soup. The Great Emperor of Northern Yin and the Heavenly Emperor discussed it and decided that whoever caused the trouble should fix it. So they sent the two of them to the mortal world to catch the ghosts and make them drink the soup.

Meng Yao got off to a flying start. As soon as she left the gates of the Netherworld, she caught two thousand-year-old vengeful ghosts, who also happened to be bitter enemies. She immediately called Yue Lan over to make them drink the soup.

Who knew Yue Lan's professional instincts would kick in? Without hesitation, he pulled out a red string and tied them together.

Yue Lan: "..."

The rival vengeful ghosts: "!!!"

Meng Yao: "...???"

Did he come here to cause trouble?

Coming next: My Husband Turned Dark After We Married, an ancient-style romance.

Everyone says Su Wanyue is lucky. Her parents indulged her so much that she never lifted a finger or learned how to tell grain from rice. After they died, Shen Chi, an up-and-coming court official, took responsibility for this helpless woman.

He dotes on her, spoils her, and defies public opinion to marry her. Everyone assumes Shen Chi married Su Wanyue for her looks. Even Su Wanyue thinks so.

She is anxious every day, and resolves to learn how to cook and become a gentle, virtuous wife, all in the hope that she might be worthy of Shen Chi.

But Shen Chi treats her so well that Su Wanyue gives him her whole heart. Then, in the midst of their passionate love, she learns that Shen Chi is a hypocrite who only pretends to be honorable. He played a part in the Su family's downfall, and was responsible for her parents dying on the road while fleeing. He married her only to humiliate her. All of it was because, many years ago, Su Wanyue gave him a steamed bun.

It had left Shen Chi with a taste of humiliation.

Su Wanyue never imagined she had been sharing a bed with her enemy night after night, shamelessly declaring her love for him. In that moment, she was consumed by pain. All her love became a sharp blade, cutting her to the core. With a heart dead to the world, she asked for a divorce.

Instead, Shen Chi scoffed. "Su Wanyue, where else can you go besides a brothel? I suggest you stay put. I don't want to visit a pleasure house and accidentally sleep with my own ex-wife."

Su Wanyue stayed silent for several days, then finally saw the truth: men cannot be relied on. Some look perfectly respectable, but are worse than animals. She stood at the entrance to Spring Breeze House and walked in without hesitation.

Months later, Spring Breeze House had a new owner. The first thing the madam did after taking over was send several beautiful young women to each of the regular patrons. To thank Shen Chi for his devoted attention, she sent him a dozen.

Afterward, Su Wanyue knelt devoutly before the Buddha and burned incense, praying that Shen Chi would die in bed.

Eleven years ago, Shen Chi fled to the capital with a group of refugees. He endured the elements, hunger, and cold along the way, and grew used to people's indifference and disdain. After going seven days and nights without food, a little girl gave him a steamed bun. From that day on, Shen Chi had a small wish: that every little girl in the world could treat steamed buns with such carefree generosity.

One-on-one romance. Shen Chi is the male lead.
