Everyone Fuzzy Loves Me

Blurb:

Tao Yulan spent three years in the entertainment industry as a complete unknown. She could barely make ends meet in the glamorous world of showbiz. Finally, one day in her third year, Tao Yulan decided to quit. After all, giving up takes courage, too.

Her announcement that she was leaving the industry barely made a ripple on Weibo.

Oh well. Who can go through life without crying?

She'd have a good cry, then get straight to studying for the civil service exam.

Although Tao Yulan had graduated from a prestigious university, she had majored in animal husbandry. There were very few civil service jobs available in her field, and if she was going to take the exam, she wanted the best. So she applied to Lan Ning Zoo, the best zoo in the country.

After six months of preparation, she landed a job at Lan Ning Zoo.

Within days of starting work, Tao Yulan discovered that fluffy animals absolutely adored her, especially the zoo's cats and bears. She found them easy to care for, and they even seemed to understand her dialect and her constant muttering. They always wanted hugs, too. Who could resist these fluffy, dignified, nationally protected animals?

Tao Yulan: "!!!"

So this is where my talent lies? Not in the entertainment industry!

Soon after, an online variety show called Wonderful Them was announced, with filming set to take place at Lan Ning Zoo. The participants were all big names, people a nobody like Tao Yulan, an obscure former idol, would never normally get to meet.

[Wow, that zookeeper is kind of pretty.]

[That bear is so affectionate with the zookeeper! I'm jealous! I want to possess the zookeeper!]

[That zookeeper looks like a female celebrity. I just can't remember who.]

With both big names and fluffy animals as selling points, the show instantly caught everyone's attention. Its popularity exploded, making it the most-watched show on the internet.

And its most popular trending topic was #GorgeousZookeeperAtLanNingZoo

Tao Yulan felt a strange disconnect looking at the topic.

She'd spent three years in a girl group without ever becoming famous, but now she'd gone viral after taking a civil service job as a zookeeper, and it was because of her looks?!

Coming soon: Everyday Life Raising a Giant Panda Cub After Leaving Showbiz

Blurb: Du Jingmo had been in showbiz for three years when she offended an industry veteran and was blacklisted. Her life in the capital became a complete mess, and her family strongly opposed her continuing down that path, so they summoned her home to take the civil service exam.

Right next to her hometown was a giant panda breeding center, where her whole family worked. They handled odd jobs like logistics, cleaning, chopping bamboo, and watching the storeroom.

Du Jingmo was the only one in her family with a graduate degree, and she had studied animal science. Since the family worked at the center, they knew it was hiring zookeepers. When they checked, they found that their daughter was just the right fit, so they called her home to take the exam.

Under her family's hopes and pressure, Du Jingmo finally passed.

On her first day, Du Jingmo was assigned to the Level 25 kindergarten, a group of six giant pandas, all around six months old.

The group originally had one male and one female caretaker, but the male caretaker had accidentally fallen and broken a bone. It would take a hundred days to heal, and the female caretaker was retiring at the end of the year. She planned to pass on all her knowledge and skills to Du Jingmo, including how to handle these energetic little troublemakers.

But who would have thought Du Jingmo would do an even better job than her? The female caretaker praised her nonstop every day.

Only Du Jingmo herself felt deeply uneasy.

For some reason, she could understand what the pandas in her group were saying, and she seemed to have a constitution that pandas especially liked.

She could handle this job thanks entirely to her hard-working small-town student background and the little window of opportunity the heavens had opened for her.

A top-tier star panda returned to China and settled on the mountain next to Du Jingmo's. Fans went to visit and accidentally passed through the enclosure where Du Jingmo worked. When they saw her, they filmed her and posted the video online to mock her.

Netizen 1: "Seriously, some celebrity quits showbiz and comes here to ride the panda's coattails."

Netizen 2: "Oh my god, is she that desperate to become an influencer? Even pandas aren't off-limits."

Panda Valley reposted: [Stop spreading rumors!! She's an outstanding caretaker at our Level 25 Panda Kindergarten!!]

Everyone: "!!!!"

Netizen 1: "I kneel and apologize. I was wrong."

Netizen 2: "Wah, I was so judgmental."

Another passerby: "Hahaha, don't insult dogs."

Coming soon: I Woke Up as a Mom of Four Cubs

Blurb:

Xin Rong had worked diligently as a wildlife photographer for years, capturing countless incredible scenes of wild animals. She never expected that she would wake up one day having transmigrated into a cougar.

The good news: She had become the animal she'd always dreamed of being. All she'd ever wanted was to be a cougar.

The bad news: She was a mother of four.

The original host, no, the original lioness, had given birth to four cubs all at once.

Xin Rong: "..."

━Σ(?Д?|||)━

Fortunately, the original lioness was a superb queen of the grasslands, an apex predator.

She had powerful limbs and razor-sharp claws and teeth.

But...

Four!!! Cubs!!!!!!

Xin Rong had to give herself quite a pep talk before beginning her life on the grasslands: hunt, fail, hunt, fail, hunt, fail, hunt, fail.

What else could she do? She couldn't let the whole family starve to death.

Who the heck was the father of these four cubs?
