[Top-tier interspecies romance] Don't bring a strange woman home to spend the night. It can only lead to trouble. Qi Wenxi regrets doing just that. The poor woman she kindly brought home isn't as innocent and harmless as she seemed. On the contrary, she's deeply strange, and everything about her is a mystery. Her skin is cold, her voice low and husky, her manner wild, and she likes raw food. What's more, she likes to stare at Qi Wenxi, cling to her, and touch her. As spring approaches and nature comes back to life, Qi Wenxi notices that the way this woman looks at her is starting to change, too. Qi Wenxi can't take it and tries to get away, but there's no escape. “Could you stop looking at me like that? It's weird.” Jing Lian fixes her with deep, inscrutable eyes. “As my partner, you need to fulfill your proper duties.” Professor Qi: “...Since when am I your partner?” Jing Lian: “If you're shy, I'll take you to the deep sea. No one will be there, and you'll feel more at ease.” Qi Wenxi turns deathly pale. Is she really going to give her first time to this savage orca?! “She is the abyss, she is a beast, and she is the one who loves you most.” Reader's guide: 1.

But before her car even reaches the seaside town, it breaks down, and she gets lost. There's no signal, no one to help, and no love. Xie Mianzhi has no choice but to spend the night in her car. Just as she's about to fall asleep, a flock of ducks wakes her up. The duck herder turns out to be a woman, and a stunningly beautiful one at that. Her golden eyes gleam with an enchanting, uncanny light in the dark. “Hi, are you headed into town? Could you give me a ride? As you can see, my car broke down. I'll pay you, of course...” As Xie Mianzhi speaks, she realizes the woman is just staring at her expressionlessly without saying a word. Thinking she can't hear, Xie Mianzhi is about to try signing. The seemingly aloof woman says just four words: “Buy a duck, I'll drive.” “She isn't a monster. She's my eternal love.” Theme: Living in harmony with nature.
