A Collector's Album of Nonhuman Lovers

Story One: First Married, Then in Love with a Lizard Beastperson

Yu Xixian gets married. Her spouse is a "cold-blooded" beastperson.

Not cold-blooded in the sense of being dead, but because he belongs to a traditionally warm-blooded species.

He is a rising business star introduced to her by her parents. Not long after they meet on a blind date, her family suffers a disaster. At his invitation, Yu Xixian agrees to a marriage of convenience, though she has no interest in him, and he seems to feel the same way, until...

One time, when drunk, he cries and asks her if she doesn't like him because he doesn't have the fluffy ears and tail of a feline beastperson.

Yu Xixian, who is allergic to cat fur: Huh?

Story Two: The Nightmare of a Horseman with Two Forms, Human and Horse

Yu Xixian has suffered from insomnia for years, but soon after starting at a new company, she begins falling asleep easily. Her mental state doesn't improve, though, because every night she manages to sleep, she has a terrifying nightmare.

The situations in her dreams are always dangerous. She not only has to become a count's subordinate, but also has to do work that could get her killed. Still, the count is good-looking, and the danger often makes her heart race.

She thinks she's fallen for him.

Then she discovers that he is the nightmare causing her bad dreams.

Story Three: The Demon Imprisoned for Many Years

Yu Xixian is an inconspicuous princess of this dynasty.

Yu Xixian is found to have a talent for magic, and she meets a "god."

It is imprisoned.

It is curious about stories and wants her to become its servant.

It teaches her magic, helps her grow up, and even makes her queen. In the end, it demands payment.

It wants her eternal love.

Reading Guide:

1. The main story is written in third person.

2. The planned male leads are a lizard beastperson, a nightmare boss, a devil, a flower spirit, an octopus who gives birth in a sci-fi setting, a ghost, a fox spirit, a centaur, and a mountain god.

Some details may change. (I originally planned to make each one a standalone story, but the pacing of a collection of shorter stories turned out to be too fast, and I don't have time to explore them in depth.)

3. Each story may have a different style. Get a general feel from the blurb and chapter details, then choose what you like!

The Wild Siren Thinks I'm Courting It. Attention, please!

After accidentally falling into the sea and washing up on a deserted island, Lin Ci opens her eyes and finds herself face to face with a mysterious creature.

It has a strikingly beautiful face, pale as a vampire count's from an old castle.

But it's hard to appreciate that face when its body beneath the delicate human head is nearly two meters tall, with huge, thick wings and the shape of some enormous hybrid of eagle and peacock.

A monster!

Lin Ci is so nervous she loses her voice. She has no idea that the creature is curiously studying her too.

Terrified, she flails about, trying to communicate through sign language and by straining her throat to speak in different languages, while the siren before her looks increasingly puzzled.

When the limbs of a primate wave about, they look remarkably like a bird's mating display.

And so this inexperienced siren, who has never seen a human before, misunderstands.

This monster looks weak and ugly, and its mating display isn't as graceful and beautiful as a seabird's, but it doesn't matter. It's the first creature to court it!

In recognition of this courage and enthusiasm, it decides to accept the courtship of this adorable, bald little bird.

Reading Guide: Gender-swapped siren, deserted island but no lack of supplies, sweet romance, personal take on sirens (mostly using this form) plus mermaid form, with a chance of a human form as a third form. After all, it seems fish don't have a Jinjiang tag yet (I haven't worked out the details of their habits).

Theme: Love is equal.
