My Zoo Livestream Summons the Classic of Mountains and Seas

[Short Story]

Coming Soon: Saving the Hated Son in a Rich Family Romance

Blurb:

One day, after earning enough money, Wen Zheng left showbiz and took over a dilapidated zoo. It barely got any visitors, so she livestreamed every day to attract viewers and sell a few more tickets.

In a parallel world, Bai Ze watched a livestream interface suddenly appear in the sky: [This place looks pretty nice. I'll go stay for a couple of days.]

Qiongqi, in a cave, stared at the interface that had suddenly flashed into existence and nearly blinded him: [Who dares disturb my sleep? I'll go take a look.]

Taotie was enjoying a feast on a mountaintop when he suddenly saw the delicious food appearing on the interface: [Is that for me? Then I won't stand on ceremony.]

The next day, when Wen Zheng opened the zoo gates, she was stunned. Why were there suddenly so many visitors... “visitors”???

Were they people... or monsters?

“Um, where did you all come from? Those bizarre outfits... are you from the film crew next door?” Wen Zheng's voice trembled as she looked at all kinds of “people” with horns on their heads and wings on their backs.

“Wasn't it you who invited me to come have fun?” Big Brother Qiongqi yawned.

“Didn't you say there'd be good food?” Second Brother Taotie asked, his eyes wide.

“Isn't this a zoo? Why can't I come in?” Bai Ze's voice was cool, though his manner was gentle.

“Come on in, come on in...” Wen Zheng quietly broke out in a cold sweat.

The zoo at the foot of a remote mountain suddenly became lively. The most striking thing was that everyone here was cosplaying characters from the Classic of Mountains and Seas, and every actor looked so convincing!

Before long, Wen Zheng's once-decrepit zoo became a sensation across the internet.

“Qiongqi is so handsome!!!”

“Bai Ze, Bai Ze, I love you!” Comments like these kept pouring in.

Wen Zheng, the zoo director, sipped her tea and tried to figure out what had gone wrong. How had her livestream ended up in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, bringing in a whole crowd of monsters and demons? They ate a lot, did very little, and spent all their time sleeping.

If the zoo hadn't become famous, even charging ridiculously high ticket prices wouldn't have been enough to feed this bunch of pampered ancestors!

Visitor No. 1: “Why has the zoo raised its prices again?!!!”

Visitor No. 2: “Ugh, I really want to go. Those horns look so realistic, and I find them incredibly attractive!”

Visitor No. 3: “Whatever, expensive is expensive. The NPC costumes must have cost a fortune. What's wrong with spending a little money on art?!!!”

Wen Zheng made money through her tears, while the monsters and demons from the Classic of Mountains and Seas secretly pocketed it through theirs.

Wen Zheng patted her empty wallet and sighed.

Then she summoned a lively Pixiu!!! A fluffy Pixiu, with brilliantly colored fur.

At that moment, Wen Zheng seemed to see a golden light.

The other divine beasts from the Classic of Mountains and Seas said: [You're finally here. Hurry up and spit out some money!]

Pixiu: Uh... don't you know I only take money in and never let it out? Spit out money? Not a chance!

Wen Zheng, acting cute: Pixiu, what about me? Can't I have some?

Pixiu: You can. QAQ.

Coming Soon: Saving the Hated Son in a Rich Family Romance

Blurb:

Shen Shuisu was the daughter of the Shen family in the capital. Her marriage had been arranged with Gu Songyan, the head of the Gu financial conglomerate, who came from the same social circle. They were respectful and considerate toward each other after marriage, but she transmigrated after their first child was born.

When she finally returned, her own son had become universally hated. Only then did she learn that this was a romance between two men, and that the two male leads were Gu Songyan's childhood friend and roommate.

Gu Songyan was merely a pawn in their romance.

Gu Songyan's father, Shen Shuisu's husband, even favored Gu Songyan's childhood friend because he was the son of her husband's first love.

Then there was Gu Songjin, Gu Songyan's biological aunt, who favored his roommate because that roommate was the son of Gu Songjin's first love.

Shen Shuisu woke up with a frown. “?”

What a complete mess.

What a bunch of despicable jerks.

Bullying Gu Songyan was the same as dancing on her grave.

Shen Shuisu wasn't good at much, but she was an expert at tearing into scumbags. During the ten years she was away, she'd taken down a dozen of them.

Once she came to her senses, Shen Shuisu became the shield protecting Gu Songyan.

She was going to save her son, the one everyone hated.

But...

Could someone please explain?

Gu Songyan's father wasn't a scumbag. He had loved her faithfully for over a decade.

Gu Songyan's childhood friend wasn't the son of her husband's first love, either. Shen Shuisu had once won him over with a piece of candy, and he'd sworn to protect Gu Songyan for the rest of his life.

His roommate wasn't what she thought, either. The roommate's biological father was Shen Shuisu's first love.

And Gu Songyan's aunt was a wonderful aunt, too.

She had fallen in love with Shen Shuisu at first sight. If Shen Shuisu hadn't been engaged to her older brother, the aunt would have made her move herself.

Gu Songyan wasn't hated by everyone at all. He was the beloved darling of the family, and Shen Shuisu was the one adored by everyone?

Shen Shuisu: “?”

Who the hell misled me???!!!
