Blurb: Xia Xianshu runs a little restaurant. Its signature dishes are goblin-favorite kung pao slug meat (giant slugs) and deep-fried locusts.

With her own two hardworking hands, she makes a good life for herself in this savage otherworld.

After a great battle between the Silvermoon Legion and the Orc Legion, Xia Xianshu finds a little brown bear frozen stiff by the river and carefully nurses it back to health.

War breaks out and her home is destroyed. As Xianshu flees with the little bear, the [System] suddenly prompts her: Your intimacy with the little bear has reached 50 percent. Click confirm to hear the little bear's thoughts.

Xia Xianshu hears a deep, magnetic male voice say, "Xia Xianshu, marry me. I'll protect you."

Xia Xianshu: "Roar!"

But before they can reach the wedding, Xianshu loses her little bear in the chaos of war.

"Liar! Go to hell!" Xia Xianshu smashes the jar of honey over his head.

Prepublication: The Immortal Venerable's Runaway Little Wolf Wife

Blurb: Twenty years ago, the Northern Border Wolf Tribe entrusted their orphan to Mount Cangyan, and Su Chenjun, the foremost cultivator of the Heartless Dao, made an exception and took a wife.

When Bai Zhizhi was still a little wolf pup with her eyes shut, she was half asleep when she married him.

He felt more responsibility than affection for her. He fed her, taught her to read, guided her cultivation, and took care of her in every way. He was wonderful at everything, except that he didn't love her.

Bai Zhizhi thought he was old-fashioned and dull, with no sense of romance.

Su Chenjun thought she was willful, unruly, noisy, and childish.

Bai Zhizhi: "I married a dad, didn't I?"

Su Chenjun: "Zhizhi is more like my little sister."

After twenty years together, they could barely stand the sight of each other. Su Chenjun gave her a divorce agreement. "Find someone you like and bring him to meet me. Once I approve, I'll stamp the divorce papers with my golden seal. Oh, and I'll only approve a live-in son-in-law."

The little white wolf exploded: "You son of a bitch! I don't like you anymore! I'll find a man ten thousand times better than you! Just you wait!"

Before she left the mountain, she made sure to wreck Su Chenjun's bedchamber and tear his robes into rags.

The cultivation world was vast, and there were so many men to choose from. Bai Zhizhi soon returned to Mount Cangwu with a man she'd picked up outside. He had long, willow-like brows and a graceful figure like a jade tree. He really was something special.

Su Chenjun watched the little wolf pup he'd raised hold hands and embrace another man, then share a careful kiss with him beneath her favorite jade peach tree.

He wondered: If that man weren't his own incarnation outside his body, but a real stranger, should he let her go just like this?

*

Bai Zhizhi couldn't understand why her love life was so rough. Every man she fell for was either terminally ill with little time left, or after her status and fortune, trying to trick her into marriage. When she finally met a decent man, he told her at the last possible moment that he couldn't perform in bed.

After suffering one heartbreak after another, her lousy ex-husband showed up at just the right time. "Come back, Zhizhi. We... can start over."

Bai Zhizhi: "Do you think I'm an idiot?"
