After transmigrating because of a car accident, the unlucky Zhu Ning has barely arrived in the Beastman Empire when a kindhearted "god" takes him home, treats his injuries, and even buys him a smart terminal and an identity.

His "god" is a beastman with tiger ears. He's perfect in every way except that he's softhearted, easy to fool, and not very well-off.

What else can Zhu Ning do but earn money to support him? Who could resist a big, goofy cat who acts like a dog?

To take care of this big cat, Zhu Ning spends his days petting fluffy creatures and cooking delicious food... living through "hell and high water." Maine Coons, little foxes, lop-eared rabbits, black panthers: they're all his clients.

It's not because they have soft fur and sweet voices, absolutely not!

But while he thinks of them as fluffy pets, every one of these fluffy creatures has ulterior motives and wants to use their fur to win him over as a lover.

Zhu Ning: ???

The Marshal: Lets out a roar, pins Zhu Ning beneath him, and gives him a lick.

The Marshal: The little human is mine! Don't even think about it!

Lei Ke, the empire's mighty tiger and its famously hot-tempered marshal. Ever since he found a little human on his way to headquarters that day, he has changed completely.

The marshal, once hot-tempered and decisive, now spends every day secretly fretting over whether the little human likes him for who he is or for his fur.

When he learns that quite a few male beastmen around him have their eyes on the little human, he finally figures it out.

Whether the little human likes him or his kitty-cat self, he can only belong to him!

So, while some beastmen see a stern, unsmiling marshal, behind closed doors he lets his guard down and turns into a goofy, silly, jealous big cat. He secretly shifts into his beast form so the little human can pet his fur and warm his feet.

The Marshal: What are you all staring at? Taking care of the little human is what matters!

==

That day, the ancient empire, asleep for ages, finally encountered that kindhearted god.

They were not abandoned babies cast adrift in the vast universe.

They had a vast and brilliant history, and they were always meant to stand atop the universe.

Zhu Ning always thought he had found that kindhearted god, but in truth, he was the god himself.

The Bodhisattva Hunk Says You Can't Touch Unless You're His Boyfriend

Blurb:

Xia Zhiheng is gorgeous but as stiff as a board. When he dates someone, he won't kiss or hug them, and he won't let them touch him. When his boyfriend cheats, he calmly breaks up with him, without showing the slightest emotion.

But his straight roommate not only comes over to help him move, but buys him dinner and even beats up his ex for him.

The evening breeze brushes against his roommate. His loose tank top clings to his body, clearly outlining his firm abs and full chest, stretching the fabric into a curve.

I want to touch him so badly.

For the first time in his life, Xia Zhiheng thinks a real-life man doesn't just seem gross. He actually looks kind of tempting.

But his roommate is straight. Even if he's a little too attentive, Xia Zhiheng would be in the wrong to make a move.

Xia Zhiheng plans to keep his distance, but soon catches his simple-minded, musclebound straight roommate setting up his phone in their dorm to film suggestive short videos.

Under several hundred watts of blinding light, his roommate's pale skin looks smooth and rich, like cream. Shimmering droplets run down his neck and across his chest before disappearing into his shorts.

Xia Zhiheng's heart pounds wildly.

Wait, whose straight roommate is a teasing, seductive bodhisattva hunk?!

Chi Ye has a crush on his roommate, Xia Zhiheng, but has no idea how to pursue him, and can only watch as he starts dating someone else.

When Xia Zhiheng finally breaks up, Chi Ye eagerly approaches him and awkwardly tries to show his affection.

But no matter what he does, Xia Zhiheng keeps treating him like a straight guy.

Until one day, Chi Ye catches a glimpse of a suggestive fitness influencer video on his phone, and inspiration strikes: only kids test the waters when pursuing someone. Adults, of course, seduce.

Suggestive videos? Anyone can make those!

[Dorm Room]

In the dark room, the bright lights are dazzling.

His soaked white shirt clings to his body, his full chest half exposed. Long fingers slide from his collarbone down to his chest.

His firm abs are beautifully defined. Moisture darkens the gray sweatpants in streaks.

[Behind the Scenes at the Fashion Show]

In the bustling backstage area, he takes off his clothes and changes into the designer's hastily altered, lavish shirt.

The shirt, deliberately slashed by someone, has been redesigned with large cutouts, revealing the man's strong, sleek back. The rise and fall of his chest is hidden beneath layers of gauzy fabric, just barely visible.

[Sports Day]

The scorching sun, a running track stretching endlessly, thick air, wind roaring in his ears, sweat soaking through his T-shirt.

He pants as he races toward the finish line, crosses it, and falls on top of Xia Zhiheng.

He accidentally brushes his lips against Xia Zhiheng's, then quickly hears a pounding heart beside his ear. He can't tell whose it is.
