A ferocious attack dog with devastating destructive power x A healing, all-curing, jealous sweetheart

(Also known as My Daily Casework with an Icy Jealous Guy, aka The Curse of Death)

Strange things keep happening on campus. First, ghostly flames in the woods, then a mysterious altar used for torturing cats, flying snakes in the night sky, and finally, students dying inexplicably in their dorms...

Morisaki, a mixed martial arts expert and a folklore graduate student with exceptional intelligence, is forced to deliver medicine to a dead student and becomes a suspect in the case of the "perverted killer."

The victim's inexplicable cause of death and the strange ritual patterns at the scene of the cat killings make Morisaki think of witchcraft murders in folklore. Everything seems to be heading in an unbelievable direction.

Morisaki starts investigating to prove his innocence, only to discover that a mysterious beauty named Su Xinhe is secretly following him. Su Xinhe seems to possess an unusual power and a secret he doesn't want anyone to know...

How could Morisaki let such a special beauty get away? He catches Su Xinhe and coaxes and tricks him into investigating the case together.

Morisaki: "Let's investigate this case together. Teamwork will make us more efficient!"

Su Xinhe: "We'll investigate separately."

Morisaki: "Don't worry. Without me, I guarantee you won't even get through the door~"

Morisaki thinks his beautiful partner is just a clever, solitary investigator. Who would have thought the other man is also a "nonhuman" who can heal anything and is immortal!

Su Xinhe: "Take your hand off me."

Morisaki: "It's only been one night, and your wound has already healed. There's not even a mark!"

Su Xinhe: "...Have you touched me enough yet?"

Morisaki: "Nope, you're so smooth~ Tsk, why are you blushing after just a couple of touches?"

3. Mutual healing, mutual devotion, a match made in heaven, and each other's first love. (Foreshadowed in the main story and covered in the bonus chapters.) Happy ending.

Monster Bathhouse Now Open

Mi Cheng, a "playboy" from the prestigious Tianji beast-taming family, is an outcast among his relatives because he's a good-for-nothing. He returns to the family home to celebrate his father's birthday, but can't stand his father pestering him to get married. So, "after getting drunk, he tries to end his life." He fails, but accidentally releases a spirit-chasing beast.

Following the beast's trail, Mi Cheng arrives at a bathhouse, only to be turned away at the door.

"Sorry, only members may enter."

Mi Cheng gives a seductive smile, then turns to leave. "Hey, emergency services? I'm reporting a club for organizing prostitution."

The bathhouse is thrown into chaos during the surprise inspection. Mi Cheng slips inside, but is spotted before he can find the spirit-chasing beast.

"Get him! That's the guy!"

"Weird, he definitely ran this way. Why isn't he here? Check over there!"

Mi Cheng waits until the footsteps fade, then lets out a breath of relief. Suddenly, he feels something cold against his neck and is lifted up by it.

"So you're the one who reported my place? Hah, and you're a little tomcat, too!"

"Meow meow~~" (Go to hell, let me down!)

He Zai Zheng flicks his hand and tosses Mi Cheng into the cage held by his assistant. Only then does Mi Cheng realize he's run into someone he absolutely can't afford to offend...

And so, young master Mi is forced to "sell himself" to a shady boss. His miserable life begins: working at the Monster Bathhouse while searching for the beast.
