1. Qiao Mian is the illegitimate son of the Marquis of Yongqing. After his legitimate sister takes revenge on him, she exiles him to their remote hometown and arranges for him to marry a mute man.
After they marry, his husband suddenly disappears. When Qiao Mian falls seriously ill, memories of his previous life awaken, and he gains access to a maternal and infant superstore space.
Milk powder, sweets, walnut oil, fried chicken, milk tea, jelly, sauces, plush toys, figurines, building blocks, Lego sets, claw machines, dolls... It has every maternal and infant product you could imagine!
Qiao Mian wipes away his tears, sets out to build a business with his little one, and vows to open maternal and infant supermarkets all over Great Qi, giving those awful people a thorough face-slapping!
2. Lately, he has noticed all sorts of strange things happening at home.
The village thugs used to bully him because he was an orphan and a widower, but suddenly he heard that wild beasts had bitten their legs.
When his little one fell ill and craved meat, he had no money to buy any. The next day, several mountain hares appeared right outside his door.
Later, he found out it was all the work of a white tiger cub. After he kindly cooked it a few meals, the cub refused to leave!
Well, all right. It's so innocent, weak, and fluffy, so he might as well keep it.
3. Gradually, Qiao Mian realizes that this tiger cub may not be so simple.
Whose pet sleeps with its tail wrapped tightly around its owner's waist?
Gets angry and wrecks the house whenever its owner sees an unfamiliar man?
And even when he takes a bath...
One day, unable to take it anymore, Qiao Mian grabs the tiger cub by its hind legs and tosses it out of the bathing room. "Why did you drink my bathwater again? You're acting weird!"
The white tiger cub gazes up at him with big, dewy eyes and tilts its head cutely. "Roar, roar, roar."
I wasn't drinking it secretly. I just wanted to take a nice bath with you.
A sickly, beautiful, and resilient uke vs. a lovesick, mysterious monster seme
P.S. The seme is a tiger, not a human, and has animal instincts. If that's not your thing, please don't read.

● Here's a related farming novel coming soon: [Farming Life with Little Ones in Ancient Times]
Wei Yu / Guanguan (uke) vs. Wei Cheng (seme)
A heartwarming story about two unfortunate little ones getting rich through farming. Healing everyday life, building wealth, a long, slow-burn story.
1.
Guanguan is actually a little money-jar spirit who can make money grow.
Guanguan, who has turned into a five-year-old child, doesn't know this, and neither do the villagers of Maoxi Village.
When Guanguan appeared in the village, he was clutching a little clay jar. He wore nothing but a thin, ragged piece of cloth, and his bare feet were red and raw from the cold as he shivered in the freezing wind.
Luckily, a tall, thin older boy rescued him.
But the boy was dependent on others too, and was beaten until he was covered in blood for saving Guanguan.
But Guanguan couldn't speak. All he could do was cling to his big brother and cry.
2.
Wei Cheng's father died when he was four, and his mother remarried when he was seven. At just eight years old, he caught a chill from working. His cough wouldn't go away, and even after coughing up blood for days, he still wasn't getting better.
Wei Cheng didn't want to die just like that. He planned to go into the mountains and dig up something he could trade for medicine, but instead, he found a dirty little child.
The child looked about five. He had a round little face and was delicate and adorable, but his exposed skin was purplish from the cold. He probably wouldn't live much longer.
After hesitating for a long time, Wei Cheng took the child back and hid him in the Wei household. But his uncles still found out.
They beat Wei Cheng badly and sent Guanguan away too.
But the villagers who took Guanguan in treated him terribly. He became thin and sallow, and his face and body were covered in purple pinch marks.
When he saw anyone, he could only curl up like a frightened kitten and cry.
Wei Cheng was heartbroken. He asked the Wang family to hand Guanguan over to him, then left the Wei household.
The heavy snow sealed off the mountains, the beasts hibernated, and the poor had no hope in their lives.
But eight-year-old Wei Cheng held Guanguan's hand tightly. He thought that this winter would soon be over.
3.
The Wei family expected that once winter passed, they would hear news that Wei Cheng and the little one he'd found had starved to death. But as soon as spring arrived, they saw Wei Cheng carrying bright silver coins to buy farmland!
Before long, Wei Cheng was raising chickens and sheep, researching valuable furs, and even planning to build a big house...
The Wei family's eyes turned red with envy, while the Wang family, who had abused Guanguan, wanted to take him back...
But a beast that looked like a wolf or a dog kept all the ill-intentioned people outside.
And so no one knew that the inconspicuous little clay jar Guanguan always held was gradually changing color over time, turning copper, then silver... then gold.

I feel like the few books I've read recently are all written in a similar way, with a fast and dry pace. Every node I write about is passed through quickly. There is no rich sense of story, and I won't think of reading it twice.
Woohoo, I really like cakes and rice dumplings
Oh my gosh, the rice dumplings are amazing
Zongzong is coming out, hey hey hey,
It would be nice if there were more plots about opening a store.
So fast. I finished reading another book.
I feel like the extra is rushed, so I'll tell you something in detail that will make it more comfortable to watch [Come on]
The ending is full of flowers. It's really beautiful. Highly recommended.
