A collection of short and medium-length stories with nonhuman male leads.
① The brothel's top courtesan (a ruthless snake demon male lead disguised as a woman × a female lead disguised as a male servant)
Excerpt 1: “Oh? So you're the new servant Madam assigned to me.” The woman's bonelessly soft body leaned against Qin Sheng. Her warm breath brushed her ear, and her enchanting face was full of smiles. She deliberately lowered her voice, making every word sound seductive.
Qin Sheng, smiling without the slightest hint of being moved: “Yes...” She caught his hand just as it drew circles on her chest.
The woman whose hand had been caught wasn't embarrassed at all. Instead, she pouted and muttered, “How boring.”
Qin Sheng: “...”
Excerpt 2: “Shengsheng, are you really not considering becoming my mate?” The man, whose identity as a woman had been exposed, clasped Qin Sheng's slender waist from behind.
Qin Sheng glanced down at the black snake tail coiled around her legs, calmly wiped the cold sweat from her brow, and said, “I'll consider it, I'll consider it.”
“Shengsheng is just the best.”
Qin Sheng, muttering under her breath: “I think I'm pretty great too.”
② Mermaid (merman male lead × female agent)
Wen Ling was an obscure talent agent whose clients never quite made it big.
Then, one day, she went to the beach to clear her head and met the injured, pitiful male lead, who had astonishing looks and a voice like a song from heaven.
Wen Ling: Hehe!
Excerpt: “Does big sis like me?” the pitiful male lead asked hoarsely.
“Like you? Of course I do.” Wen Ling answered perfunctorily.
“I like you so much too, big sis.” The male lead buried his face in Wen Ling's neck, breathing in the scent of her hair as his eyes grew dark.
I haven't figured out the rest yet.
