My Years Running a Restaurant for Monsters

1. A little restaurant opened in a corner of a pedestrian street that hardly anyone visited. It had no host, no chef, and no waitstaff. It was dirt poor, and strange noises came from it at night. The neighboring shopkeepers all thought its owner, Chi Ran, would go bankrupt within a month. One month later: The legendary mountain god Jiaochong had become the restaurant's most popular server. The ancient ferocious beast Xiangliu was a one-man army as a diligent vegetable chopper. The little restaurant even had a delivery team of stray cats so cute they could kill you on the spot... The human customers who came to eat went home to find their backs and legs no longer ached. Cancer patients were full of life again, and even paralyzed people got back on their feet. It worked better than going to the hospital! The little restaurant became a sensation throughout Lin'an, with reservations booked through the end of the year. Go bankrupt? Close down? Owner Chi says that's not happening. 2. Fair-skinned and beautiful, Boss Chi had cherished a crush on someone since childhood. Although his beloved wasn't human, that amazing, big, thick, glowing... something had won Chi Ran's heart at first sight. On the tenth year of Chi Ran's vow to remain chaste for his beloved, he met Director Zhu of the Bureau of Demon Management. The man was tall, handsome, and vicious, and his kind's natural enemy. The weak Chi Ran trembled in fear, until he saw Director Zhu's... Chi Ran: ...Help! What do I do if my nemesis and my crush are the same person? I'm in a hurry, answer me online! A preview of my upcoming novel, The Weird Things All Say I'm a Sneaky Bastard: After graduating from university, Shen Si takes a job as a night-shift doctor at a psychiatric hospital. His colleagues and patients are all incredibly friendly. They want to snuggle up to Dr. Shen, hug Dr. Shen, and share a dorm room with Dr. Shen. Because Dr. Shen smells so good! Shen Si sniffs his own arm, but doesn't think it smells good at all. Dr. Shen works from eight at night until four in the morning. The hospital provides full benefits, free meals and lodging, and a monthly salary of over ten thousand. If a patient recovers and is discharged, he can even earn a performance bonus. Patient number one is a little boy with a fetish for objects, and his symptoms are the mildest. The boy is young and hasn't experienced much. It's only natural for him to be attached to his favorite toy. And that was exactly the case. When Dr. Shen washed the rabbit plushie the child never let go of and left it out in the sun all day, patient number one was cured without any further treatment. Shen Si never saw him again. Patient number two has pica, and is the one who gives Shen Si the biggest headache. He not only chews on his own fingers, but tries to chew on Shen Si's too, making him a high-risk patient prone to aggression. With no other choice, Dr. Shen ordered a whole box of teething sticks online for him. A week later, patient number two was distressed to discover that his front teeth had been worn down by half, making him whistle when he spoke. Patient number three is a hopeless romantic, and the only patient who doesn't think Shen Si smells good. A handsome, wealthy heir from a prestigious family, he's in poor health and often tells Shen Si to be careful. When Shen Si meets patient number three's concerned gaze, his heart starts pounding. Oh no, a hopeless romantic isn't just hard to cure, it's contagious! * The Ren'ai Psychiatric Hospital for Spirits (Ghosts and Weird Things) has hired a night-shift doctor named Shen Si. Dr. Shen is fair-skinned and beautiful, with long legs and a lovely scent that makes the ghosts and weird things drool: So delicious, I want to eat him... But one month later... "Have you heard about the new Dr. Shen? I saw him put little X out in the sun and leave him to bake until he vanished. Oh my god, that scared the life out of me!" "Is that Dr. Shen? No, that's Dr. Shen the Tyrant! Someone had spent a hundred years growing that long hair, and he snipped it all off in one go, turning it into a buzz cut. How are they supposed to scare people now? Sob, I can't go on!" "Shh, stop talking. He might hear you and give you a teething stick. He can grind even the fiercest vengeful ghost down into a little hamster!" Shen Si, passing by at just the right moment, looks confused. "What are you talking about?" All the ghosts: "We were saying what a great doctor Dr. Shen is!" #My Years as a Night-Shift Doctor# #The Ghosts and Weird Things Living in Misery# My author page already has a completed story about monsters of the same type, The Shan Hai Folk Customs Research Institute, as well as the Infinite series Dangerous Beauty [Infinite] and Building Infrastructure on the Primitive Continent.
