Blurb:

Song Wanqiu transmigrates to the 1970s.

The original owner was frail and delicate from childhood, panting after every few steps. She was a true sickly beauty. But after an accident, she has no choice but to marry the "Great Fiend" from the military compound.

Everyone in the compound feels sympathy and pity for Song Wanqiu marrying Xu Suizhou.

Song Wanqiu is fair, delicate, and well-educated. But what kind of man is Xu Suizhou? He's fierce and rough, the sort of man who can stop a child from crying just by showing up. Which new recruit isn't afraid of him?

What a shame!

Song Wanqiu, who has transmigrated here, just smiles and keeps all the gossip outside her door.

Fierce and rough? This girl specializes in taming rough men.

"Regimental Commander Xu, my throat feels so itchy. Is there too much dust in the room? If I choke on the dust, will I cough up blood?"

"I'll clean it right away."

"Regimental Commander Xu, doing the laundry is so tiring. What should I do? I'm dizzy and feel like throwing up."

"...Leave it to me."

One evening, Xu Suizhou sits in the courtyard with his brothers, ready to drink away his sorrows.

"Brother, my heart is aching..." He has barely started when...

Song Wanqiu's voice comes from inside: "Regimental Commander Xu..."

Xu Suizhou springs to his feet on reflex and heads inside. "Coming!"

His brother: ...

Blurb:

Legend says the Beast God has no beast form, but can help beastfolk awaken their beast forms and control plants at will.

Qiao Ran transmigrates from the apocalypse to a beast world rich in resources, leading the beastfolk of her tribe to cook delicious food, build roads and cities, and develop trade.

The Great River Tribe gradually grows into a major tribe, attracting countless beastfolk from far and wide.

"Wow, these grilled skewers are so delicious! Your food is amazing!"

"You built these houses with cement and bricks? That's incredible!"

"Your tribe is so beautiful!"

"..."

Countless beastfolk linger, longing to stay. Qiao Ran simply sets aside rental homes and an inn for those who don't want to leave.

So the newcomers begin working for the Great River Tribe, and a wave of labor sweeps through the primitive world.

#Work gives workers their souls. All who work are the cream of the crop.

*

When a child in the tribe is on the verge of failing to awaken his beast form, all the beastfolk look regretful. "He's going to fail."

Qiao Ran doesn't bat an eye. She secretly releases her special ability, helping him absorb the surrounding energy into his crystal core so he can awaken successfully.

The beastfolk of the Great River Tribe all think Qiao Ran is too weak and needs protection. When they clash with other tribes backed by the Shaman Temple, Qiao Ran has no choice but to reveal her plant-controlling ability. Under her command, the plants obey her every order.

The beastfolk of the Great River Tribe stare wide-eyed, their mouths hanging open. "Qiao is actually this powerful?"

"Qiao doesn't even have a beast form, but she can still control plants..."

The shamans of the Shaman Temple: "!!!"

"The Beast God! It's the Beast God!" they cry excitedly, then drop to their knees in a wave, reverent and devout.

Qiao Ran: "..."

The tribes backed by the Shaman Temple: "???"
