Mr. Meng Is a Human-Nurturing Herb Spirit

(The story is complete. Any edits are just typo corrections, so there's no need to worry.)

A seemingly sweet and harmless aspiring environmental engineer x a cool, handsome founder of an environmental company (a medicinal herb spirit)

Seven years later, when Meng Zhishen sees Shi Yiyi again, he finds a scumbag by her side. What should he do?

Well, move in with her.

To help keep the scumbags away...

When people at the company gossip behind her back about how she's seducing the boss, he has no choice but to announce in public, "Everyone, I was the one who pursued Ms. Shi Yiyi, and I haven't won her over yet. So please be kind and don't ruin my chances. Thank you."

Later, when Shi Yiyi discovers his true identity, he tells her that his kind is a spiritual herb, treasured by humans as a tonic for thousands of years because of its powerful restorative effects.

Later still, as she eats noodles, the motion of chewing gives her an idea. She asks, "How do you use those powerful restorative effects? Do I have to eat you? Like eating Tang Seng's flesh in Journey to the West?"

"No." He answers evenly, then murmurs, "Touching me is enough."

Her eyes light up at once. She holds up five delicate fingers and boldly rubs his arm. "Does this work?"

"No."

"Oh? Then what does work?"

Meng Zhishen leans closer and speaks in a low, enticing voice. "Kissing works. Want to try?"

She stares blankly and replies, "I... guess we can try."

"Mm." As he speaks, he leans down and presses his lips to hers, drowning out her voice...

Scene One

After Shi Yiyi and Meng Zhishen get together.

One time, as they are kissing, Shi Yiyi thinks of a very serious problem and pushes him away. "Um, well, you won't ever grow old, but I'll grow old in a few decades."

Meng Zhishen cups her head again and kisses her without explaining.

"You won't." After a long while, when the kiss has left her dizzy, he murmurs, "You won't grow old either, because you're with me..."

Still dazed, Yiyi's eyes slowly brighten. She wraps her arms around Meng Zhishen's neck again and asks excitedly, "Really? Being with you is the same as taking an elixir of immortality?"

"Mm, more or less."

"Wow, that's amazing." She shakes his neck. "Is being with you all it takes?"

"Mm, kisses..." Meng Zhishen looks at her. "And..."

"And what?" Shi Yiyi's eyes sparkle.

Meng Zhishen leans close to her ear and breathes, "And..."

The blurb was screenshotted a long time ago.

Note: 1. For most of the first and middle parts, the man pursues the woman! Lots of sweetness and flirtation.

2. This is a story I wrote before, and I will never abandon it.

3. One-on-one, with a pure romance. The female lead really did like her scumbag ex before, though.

4. Please be gentle. The author can't take harsh criticism, and would be grateful. If you don't like the subject and want to drop the story, just delete it.

Next story: A Blooming Beauty

Cold and ruthless man x radiant beauty [Mature leads, friends before lovers]

Rumor has it that Huo Yilin, head of the Huo family in the capital, is cold on the outside, as handsome as a scorpion, and even more ruthless in business.

After Yu Zizi becomes an assistant to Mr. Huo's secretary, she sees him at the company all the time, but he hardly ever gives her a second glance.

Then an accident happens.

Huo Yilin hires her to be his contract "girlfriend."

They are supposed to have a trouble-free employer-employee relationship, but, unexpectedly, they end up sleeping together. Three times.

Although Mr. Huo seems cold and severe, Yu Zizi finds him handsome, fit, and decent enough. She happily accepts him as her bedmate.

-

Until someone discovers their relationship as hired lovers and bedmates.

Yu Zizi overhears people gossiping that Mr. Huo may only be playing around with her because he has an unattainable, unforgettable first love, his white moonlight.

Hearing that, Yu Zizi decisively leaves the cold-hearted man.

She tells herself that she can be at peace with it: she got a free tool to meet her physical needs for a few months, one who is healthy and has excellent stamina.

But one day, when she returns home from shopping with her childhood friend, she finds the cold-hearted man sitting on her sofa.

Her legs go weak with fright. "Mr. Huo, what are you doing here?"

Huo Yilin's gaze is cold as he looks at the young man beside her. He asks in a low, ominous voice, "Yu Zizi, who is he?"

Note: 1. One-on-one, with a pure romance. It's a sweet story, and the leads are very sweet together. The white moonlight and all that is just a misunderstanding.

2. All the settings may change before the story is posted.

3. The story launches on December 12!
