Yu Qingdie died.

Three months ago, she was the lucky one in the slums: she tested positive for Guide potential. It was only D-rank, but it could earn her a residence permit for a safe zone.

Her wealthy biological parents found her and brought her home. They favored the girl who had been switched with her at birth, but at least it was still a family.

Now, her parents were happily using the favor they’d received for selling her to a Guidance Center to get special medicine for their adopted older sister.

They even received a huge payout after she died from exhausting her mental powers.

Yu Qingdie had never made such a disastrous deal in her life.

When she woke again, she was back on the day she’d been tested for her potential.

To avoid the risk of being reunited with her birth family, she would make another deal, one with extremely high risks and extremely high returns.

The gloom of the slums had never mattered to the outside world.

Since the White Tower was established, the number of civilian Sentinels and Guides had steadily increased. The old aristocracy’s influence had waned, but they still weren’t willing to be the first to back down.

To help the two sides break the ice, the first Sentinel-Guide dating show, 100% Match, was born.

Ten contestants: half were the Tower’s top fighters, and half were nobles of distinguished bloodlines.

It was a dating game for the privileged, or perhaps a mission.

Yu Qingdie remembered, however, that this hugely popular dating show would later make headlines with several bombshell revelations:

1. Contestant Four, a noblewoman, faked her death halfway through the show and ended up on a wanted list. Her body was never found.

2. A later investigation revealed that Contestant Four had posted a job on the black market, seeking a young female Guide to impersonate her on the show.

3. On the final day of the dating show, the grand prize was revealed: a potion that could improve one’s aptitude.

Then there was the show’s format. Complete the production team’s challenge cards and interact with the other contestants, and you earned romance points. They could be used for dates, but also exchanged for Federation credits at a rate of 1:100...

Yu Qingdie had never been in love, but she was very good at making money. She immediately took the noblewoman’s job on the black market.

She was determined to get her hands on a ticket to the show.

A fake noblewoman and real wage earner, Yu Qingdie’s daily life on the dating show went like this:

# All about making money, so she flirted equally with every male contestant

# Even if the contestants were too aloof, it was fine. They were ridiculously good at dropping coins

# Wait, weren’t we just supposed to complete the challenges? Why are all your spirit forms licking the fox?!

☆ Money-obsessed, a brilliant actress, and a sweet Guide X a group of privileged men who’ve been baited into taking the hook (both Sentinels and Guides)

☆ A gorgeous red fox who loves making friends X butterflies, octopuses, snakes, wolves...

· The story is mainly about the dating show. You don’t need to know anything about Sentinel-Guide fiction to enjoy it, because the author hasn’t read much of it either.

· I mainly like the spirit forms and shared-senses concepts in Sentinel-Guide stories.

· So there’s a lot of original worldbuilding.

· Almost all the male contestants have their issues: apricot addiction, skin hunger, a dom streak, extreme possessiveness... They’re far from perfect.

· But they’re all devoted to the heroine.

· Don’t ask. The answer is that she’s a reverse harem heroine.

Yes, We Have a Fox Cub (BG, male pregnancy)

After work, Ting Lan happened to pass the Yao Clan’s office in Yuncheng. A large sign outside read: DANGEROUS BEAST WITHIN. KEEP AWAY.

She was about to take a detour when a tiny, unsteady fox with a spotless coat waddled out. The moment it saw her, it yipped excitedly and clung to her leg, refusing to let go.

Ting Lan: ...?

Behind the fox stood a young man in a crane-feather cloak. His features were stunning, his knuckles pale, and his air of aloof detachment made him look just like the frail, noble young master in a tale.

The little fox was clingy and ignored its owner, insisting on going home with her. Ting Lan felt awkward about it, but after a few encounters, she and the young man grew closer.

Only later did she understand that the “dangerous beast” was the cub’s father.

Bai Xiangyu, leader of the Qingqiu Clan, the only nine-tailed fox in the world, and the strongest fighter among the yao.

He was also the madman everyone among the yao spoke of: the man who, to keep his fiancée, had disregarded his own foundations, reversed yin and yang, and used his yao power to bear a child on his own.

Rumor had it that the fiancée in question was human.

The yao were terrified. They warned the younger generation more and more sternly against falling in love with humans, lest they get cheated out of their bodies and hearts and even lose the ability to maintain human form.

Ting Lan respected every single father raising a child alone.

Until the day her family arranged a blind date for her. When she realized the other person was an old classmate, she chatted with him for a while. After she got out of the car, a hand grabbed her and pulled her into a dim stairwell.

The pale, frail nobleman pinned her in a corner. His pale lips trembled, and his stunning eyes were wild with despair. His possessiveness was overwhelming.

“Ah Yao, did you leave me for him?”

“Even our child couldn’t make you stay. If I kill him, you’ll be with me, won’t you?”

The aloof single-father persona had crumbled, and his words revealed a shocking amount.

“...”

It seemed she was the heartless fiancée who had abandoned her husband and child.

# So the so-called “accidental bumping into her” was actually a tadpole searching for its mother QAQ #
