Blurb:
After working as a laid-back civil servant at the Bureau of Unnatural Creatures for a long time, Shi Jin heard that the bureau was expanding its staff. He thought this iron rice bowl, where he could coast until retirement unless he got killed off, would be in high demand. He never expected to run into a brick wall on his very first assignment
"The Bureau of Unnatural Creatures is a supernatural crime agency that handles everything outside the law of nature, things that natural science can't explain." Shi Jin sized up the man before him, named Qu Yihuai, and was quite satisfied.
Qu Yihuai looked him over too, raising an eyebrow and asking with an amused half-smile, "So what do you do?"
Shi Jin hadn't expected him to be so unimpressed, so he explained again:
"Anything that natural science can't solve falls within my line of work."
No one knew that Qu Yihuai kept someone hidden in his heart.
Years ago, that person had rescued him from danger twice and changed the course of his life, only to erase his memories both times. He carefully hid away his childhood admiration and the feelings he'd harbored as a youth, until that person came walking back into his life.
"Oh." When he looked up again, his eyes seemed utterly still. He casually fished some loose change out of his pocket. "Then tell my fortune. How's my love life?"

Pure romance / supernatural powers in a future post-apocalyptic world / it's a sweet story (I firmly believe this)
Forced to Be a Harem King in the Stars [ABO] by Yan Shu, click the author's profile to view
[Interstellar + cute pets + ABO]
Zuo Xi transmigrates into a danmei ABO love-triangle novel, becoming an undifferentiated, latent Omega and a cannon-fodder tool character who helps the gong and shou get together.
Forced to play his part, he can only: lock the crown prince, who wants to confess to the protagonist shou, in a bathroom; sabotage the engagement between the protagonist shou and a major general; help the protagonist shou conceal his fake Alpha identity; direct the protagonist gong to find the protagonist shou during his heat; switch out the fake suppressants given to the protagonist shou by the military doctor...
He originally planned to follow the script exactly, but then...
The Eagle major general whose engagement he sabotaged: You ruined my wedding plans. How are you going to make it up to me?
The Dragon prince he locked in the bathroom: So you like it in here? Fine by me...
The Deer military doctor whose medicine he switched: Did it ever occur to you... that the suppressants I gave you were the fake ones?
The Cat protagonist shou whose fake Alpha identity he helped hide: They're all bad people. You have to stay by my side and protect me forever.
The Mermaid protagonist gong he directed to find the protagonist shou: If he's pretending to be an Alpha, he should be prepared to get through his heat on his own... Wait, what's that scent on you?
The Snake villain, who watched the whole thing: His heat? Isn't there someone else in heat here too?
Something seems wrong here?!
