Monster Immigration Bureau

The story is complete. Please leave a five-star review! My new story, Eight Delicacies House, is now underway: a wandering martial-arts-world foodie tale set in a traveling carriage. [Special Immigration Administration]: All species are welcome to apply for immigration through proper channels! A cozy, healing story about monsters. * After a year in the News Department, Shen Yao is suddenly called in by her supervisor, who says another department is short-staffed and needs someone transferred immediately. Her department recommends her as a promising candidate. Shen Yao: “...” The new position offers a generous salary and double benefits, and her old department has promised to prioritize her for promotion. With the job market the way it is, Shen Yao decides to take the opportunity to gain some experience. Only when she reports to her new post does she learn that Special Immigration Management is also known as the Monster Immigration Bureau. Any monster with an obsession with becoming human can line up here and apply for immigration. Shen Yao: “???” [Before you start reading] 1. Monsters include both spirits and objects, so applicants aren't limited to demons and elves. There are also unusual objects, like a comb, a stubbornly immovable fire hydrant, and historical relics with long histories. 2. Special immigration applications have a very low approval rate, but there are many applicants, so the work is extremely, extremely, extremely busy... 3. Working at the Special Immigration Bureau involves not only keeping a straight face while stamping applications “Denied,” but also catching illegal entrants, assessing how well immigrants adapt, and handling those who get tired of it, fall out of love, and insist on immigrating back the other way. 4. There is a male lead, but his species won't be revealed early on. 5. This is not a wish-fulfillment story, not a wish-fulfillment story, not a wish-fulfillment story. It's a cozy, healing story about monsters. Coming next: Eight Delicacies House (Food) An unconventional food story + a zany ensemble martial-arts adventure + occasional high-stakes action + a healing road-trip tale about a private restaurant in a traveling carriage. The heroine can't fight and is laid-back most of the time, but that doesn't stop her private dishes from becoming the envy of the martial world, worth a fortune and impossible to get! * The martial world is small. Sooner or later, everyone who travels it is bound to come across Eight Delicacies House, pulled along by a few carriages. The restaurant's waiter is a retired martial arts legend, Grasshopper, once the greatest lightness-skill expert in the world. He's graceful and elegant, and never spills a drop of soup while serving dishes or making deliveries! The handyman is Baixiaotong. While washing dishes, he can find out any secret of the martial world you want to know. Of course, the martial world has no secrets. As for the bookkeeper, whether a meal costs five thousand taels or five coins depends mostly on the weather, and also on his mood. Wherever the people are, that's where the martial world is. But wherever the martial world may be, Eight Delicacies House is there too! * Heroine: Now open for business. Former murderous demon lord, current bone-chopping, chicken-raising, vegetable-growing sous-chef, Tong: I've been holding it in for so long! I can finally use a knife again!! It's another day of Eight Delicacies House enthusiastically (not really) welcoming guests from the martial world! Xiaobai: Why doesn't the blurb mention me? Heroine: You were poisoned and lost your martial arts. You can only regain your superhuman strength by eating spinach, so you've stayed at Eight Delicacies House mooching off us. That's not exactly a fresh new trope. Xiaobai: ...What about Lao Qu? Heroine: A character named “Unfollow” usually isn't allowed in the blurb by the boss. Theme: Reject species discrimination, live in harmony, love yourself and others, and take pride in your work
