Yuan Yuan transmigrated into a Siberian flying squirrel, with fur and a gliding membrane, a tiny belly pouch that could hold an astonishing amount, and a pair of huge, eyeliner-rimmed eyes.

Because he had a pouch unlike the other squirrels, he was ostracized and driven from home. While fleeing, he wandered into a forbidden zone and fell into a cave he couldn't climb out of.

Fortunately, there was a black dragon beside him.

The black dragon lay coiled in the cramped cave, eyes closed, covered in wounds and barely alive.

It looked vicious, but if he nursed it back to health, it could serve as his bodyguard.

-

Just as Yuan Yuan was about to settle down beside it, the black dragon opened its eyes and glared at him fiercely, its gaze full of hunger.

Yuan Yuan had no awareness of himself as food. He immediately pulled a huge nut from his pouch, cracked it open, and rose onto his tiptoes to hold it up to the black dragon's mouth, eyes shining. Eat up, eat up! Then you'll be my dragon!

Yuan Yuan watched the black dragon swallow the nut in one bite, completely oblivious to the disdain in its eyes. Instead, he secretly reached out a paw and touched the dragon's.

From now on, they'd be the closest comrades in arms!

After that, he settled in and helped the black dragon expand its territory.

At first, all he dreamed of was decorating his nest until it was beautiful. But years later, the most dangerous place of exile on the continent had become a blessed land, and every race took pride in living there.

-

Everyone said black dragons were a symbol of evil. Xuan Min had been bullied by his clan since childhood, and was driven out as soon as he finished shedding his scales.

When he was at his most miserable and hungry, a Siberian flying squirrel wandered into his cave.

Xuan Min coldly watched the fluffy little ball who kept trying to cuddle up to him, foraging for food and trying to make the shabby little cave feel cozy, thinking:

It's just food. I'll fatten it up and swallow it.

Until one day, a green dragon arrived at the cave entrance, transformed into human form, and dropped to one knee.

"Young master, the clan leader requests your presence."

Xuan Min ignored him. His gaze remained fixed on the round-bellied Siberian flying squirrel. He lowered his dragon's head to the ground, letting Yuan Yuan fly onto it, then turned away coldly and spread his wings.

"Get lost."

Once they were in the dragon's lair, Xuan Min wrapped his tail tightly around Yuan Yuan's fluffy body.

What had once been his food became his treasure.

Becoming an Evil Spirit and Clinging to the Top-Tier Star Every Day

Synopsis:

Su Shi died suddenly and accidentally possessed a jade pendant.

The pendant's owner, Su Yan, was a famous star and also the person Su Shi had secretly loved.

After becoming a ghost, his obsession grew infinitely stronger.

Knowing humans couldn't sense ghosts, Su Shi went from being cautious at first to gradually growing bolder.

Besides becoming more and more shameless with his words, he would sometimes touch Su Yan's hand, press his face against his, or slip into bed with him. He'd even occasionally help chase away ghosts.

Su Yan seemed to attract ghosts. Su Shi had to protect him.

Until one day, a powerful evil ghost tried to attack Su Yan.

Su Shi knew he was outmatched, but still stood in front of him, trembling and putting on a brave front. "...Don't come any closer! Or I'll make you regret it!"

Then he nearly got gobbled up by the evil ghost.

At the last possible moment, a long-fingered hand appeared before his eyes. The previously arrogant evil ghost was subdued with ease, like a baby chick.

But Su Shi, held protectively in someone's arms, froze all over. "When... did you find out I was here?"

The man smiled softly. "From the moment you appeared."

-

Su Yan was the most talented member of a family of exorcists, but he had one fatal flaw: he couldn't see ghosts.

He gave up his family's inheritance and entered the entertainment industry to get closer to the person he loved, only to learn not long afterward that the other man had died.

For the first time, he desperately wanted to see ghosts.

Later, that wish came true.

Married by Contract to My Powerful Ex

Synopsis:

1.

Ji Songxin never expected that coming out would still get him pressured into blind dates, especially when the person he was set up with was his ex-boyfriend.

Before that, they'd even slept together.

So what if he was an ex? Handsome, rich, clean, and great in bed, men like that were hard to come by these days. Even if he just sat around at home looking pretty, he'd still be a pleasure to look at, right?

Of course.

Ji Songxin brought the contract over and sat down in front of Chen Du.

[Fulfill your spousal duties on time. Don't interfere with each other's social lives. Act like a loving couple in front of the elders.]

Chen Du glanced over it, took a phone call, and was about to leave. Before turning away, he left Ji Songxin with two words: "Suit yourself."

Ji Songxin nodded in satisfaction, tucked the signed contract away, and got their marriage license the next day.

2.

Just as the contract said, Chen Du gave him whatever he wanted, never treated him coldly, and never tried to control him.

But Ji Songxin got bored.

At a bar, bleary-eyed with drink, he clutched his friend's hand and complained:

"He's so boring! He can't say a single thing besides 'Suit yourself'!"

His friend: "Exactly. You shouldn't have married him in the first place!"

"Look, I'm out drinking, and he doesn't even try to stop me."

His friend: "Exactly. He doesn't care about you! Get a divorce."

"It's not even the marriage that's the problem. He only does it twice when I ask twice. Doesn't that mean he's no good?"

His friend: ?

The more Ji Songxin talked, the more aggrieved he felt. Seeing Chen Du appear in front of him out of nowhere, he slapped the table. "Divorce!"

Ji Songxin had expected to hear the words "Suit yourself," but Chen Du dragged him home and pinned him down in the middle of the bed.

One hand squeezed his cheek while the other reached around his waist and tugged at his waistband. Frowning, Chen Du lowered his deep-set eyes to meet Ji Songxin's gaze.

Ji Songxin glared up at him, but Chen Du buried his face in the crook of his neck and said in a muffled voice, "Tell me how many times, and I'll give you that many."

"Let's not get divorced."

"Okay?"
