I Opened an Inn in the Apocalypse

My new story, I Have a Husky Sled Team, might interest you. Daily updates begin on December 14.

After raising her first husky, Chu Qiao secretly swore she'd never raise a second one in her life.

But before she could get the dog neutered, the rascal brought home a wife who didn't demand a bride price. The two dogs were so lovey-dovey they couldn't stand being apart for even a second.

What Chu Qiao never expected was that after taking in a dog couple who kept putting on lovey-dovey displays, she would end up with a whole litter of puppies.

One person, nine dogs...

One person, nine huskies!

How was she supposed to keep living like this? The world might as well end!

Chu Qiao took her nine dogs back to her rural hometown and ran a little shop with her mother.

A supervolcano erupted, blanketing the sky in smog. From then on, the world was plunged into darkness, with no daylight in sight.

After disaster strikes, how will an ordinary person like Chu Qiao survive? And how will the country respond?

New story blurb

1. Target: Empress Dowager, a no-romance story blurb:

Qing Lian is a lotus spirit who has cultivated for a thousand years and is only one step away from ascending to immortality. Unexpectedly, she nearly gets blasted to pieces by heavenly lightning during her tribulation.

A woman offers herself as a sacrifice, turning all her flesh, blood, and soul into nourishment to awaken the sleeping lotus.

The woman who sacrificed herself is named Ye Qingyin, the youngest daughter of the dynasty's great general who protects the nation. The Ye family is loyal to the crown and has never taken part in struggles over the throne. That is, until Ye Qingyin falls hopelessly in love with the current sixth prince, Lin Luochen.

The sixth prince, Lin Luochen, was born after the emperor, drunk, spent a night with a low-ranking palace maid. His birth is so lowly that he has no chance of ever becoming emperor. Yet he schemes to make the legitimate daughter of the Ye family, Ye Qingyin, fall deeply in love with him. She refuses to change her mind and insists on marrying him, despite her parents and brothers' objections.

The Ye family spares no effort and works tirelessly to build support for the sixth prince, eventually clearing a path for him through the bloody struggle for the throne.

But once Lin Luochen secures the throne, he turns ruthless. First, he grows disgusted with his original wife, Empress Ye Qingyin, and secretly suppresses the Ye family. Later, at the urging of his beloved white moonlight and cinnabar mole, he tortures Ye Qingyin to death. He heaps every vile accusation on her, though she is heavily pregnant, betrayed, and dies along with her unborn child. The Ye family has finally been drained of every last bit of value, and is framed as traitors who colluded with the enemy. Their name is forever smeared, and three generations are executed.

Reborn, but already married to Lin Luochen and made empress, Ye Qingyin knows she has no power to take revenge. So she offers everything she has to the lotus spirit, hoping it will protect the Ye family and help her get revenge.

The lotus spirit has never given up on becoming immortal. She also discovers that the imperial palace is a place of great feng shui, so she abandons the idea of simply cutting the wretched emperor down with a single slash and instead gives the childless man a fertility pill that will ensure he fathers daughters for the next twenty years or more.

The lotus spirit finds the wretched emperor disgusting, a filthy thing tainted by humans. Whenever she has no choice but to see him on the first or fifteenth day of the lunar month, she uses an illusion to make him kneel by the bed all night.

Main characters:

1. The wretched emperor kneeling by the bed

2. The transmigrator into a book, Consort Shu, the emperor's white moonlight

3. The reborn Noble Consort Yan, the emperor's cinnabar mole

4. Consort Rong, a transmigrator

5. The other consorts

This is a story about how everyone in the palace wants to kill her, but can't.

New Story 2: My Animal Legion [Apocalypse]

Orphan Su Yu has always loved little animals. Even when she was struggling to cover her living expenses, she still chose a five-year veterinary medicine program.

After five years of hard work, saving money from age eighteen to twenty-three, and graduating from college, she finally managed to take over a pet shop less than a hundred square meters in size. It had a few cats, a few dogs, several hamsters, one or two turtles, and a couple of birds.

But just two months after she opened the shop, right when she was getting ready to make it big, the Apocalypse arrived.

In the cruel Apocalypse, people eat people, zombies eat people, and mutated beasts and plants eat people too. She has no powers and only an adorable-pet app as her golden finger. But surviving really isn't that hard.

The cats: Claws sharp as knives, fast as lightning. Shooting electricity isn't hard, and neither is fighting, but taking care of humans is so hard.

The rabbits: Fluffy fur, white teeth. Digging holes isn't hard, and neither is growing vegetables, but taking care of humans is so hard.

The dogs: Three meters long and powerfully built. Pulling sleds isn't hard, and neither is hunting, but taking care of humans is so hard.

The hamsters: Full cheeks and plenty of food. Gnawing on seeds isn't hard, and neither is hiding things, but taking care of humans is so hard.

The turtles: Hard shells and sharp teeth. Catching fish isn't hard, and neither is diving, but taking care of humans is so hard.

The birds: Wings like the wind, claws like blades. Flying into the sky isn't hard, and neither is riding the wind, but taking care of humans is so hard.

Su Yu: Land, sea, and sky, we've got them all! Surviving really isn't hard.

Theme: Carve out a safe place for our fellow people in a perilous world.
