Updated daily with 3,000 characters, with extra updates on weekends. Thank you all for your support! ★ My next novel will be "A Guide to Raising Interstellar Beastfolk Cubs" ★ Novel blurb The Wealth God, a top who's always pretending to be serious x the Matchmaker, a bottom who's given up and slacks off at work As the Matchmaker, Le Ling never thought he'd become the worst-performing immortal of all. Heavenly Dao boots the little Matchmaker, dressed in a red robe and wearing a peach branch, out of the divine palace and sternly gives him one final target: Double his performance within a year! What makes Le Ling angriest is that Heavenly Dao cheerfully assigns the Wealth God Ji Xun, who stole his sales champion title, to be his performance advisor. Everyone in the three realms knows that the Wealth God Ji Xun is peerlessly handsome but aloof and taciturn. Every year, he walks past the assembled immortals with the prize for first place, his face as expressionless as ever. Le Ling grits his teeth. Having him as an advisor is a downright humiliation! Back in the mortal world, he watches people ignore the Temple of Matchmaking while kneeling for hours in the Wealth God's temple. Heartbroken, Le Ling opens the Book of Marriage and expands his business to all six realms! If mortals don't want to fall in love, can't I tie red threads for spirits and immortals instead? He opens the red-sealed letters he'd collected from across the six realms and uses red threads to bring several fated pairs together. The little Matchmaker's confidence soars, until he opens the very last letter. His smile freezes on his face. According to eyewitnesses, on a dark and stormy night, the little Matchmaker, who loves wearing a peach blossom branch, was bound with his own red thread and delivered to the Wealth God's temple! Red thread: Open the door, my lord! Ji Xun watches the bewildered Le Ling, wrapped up like a dumpling. The other end of the red thread is embedded straight into his own heart. A hint of amusement appears in the eyes of the usually impassive Wealth God. He nods politely. "Thank you." Reading guide: 1. Lighthearted, no angst, 1v1, happy ending. 2. The top is the director behind the whole story. ★★ My next novel will be "A Guide to Raising Interstellar Beastfolk Cubs" ★★ Upcoming novel blurb In the year 3204 of the Interstellar Era, the Beastfolk Star System announces its entry into the Federation. A powerful Federation bigwig, hoping to earn a good reputation, volunteers to adopt an orphaned beastfolk cub. The little cub, Yu Qianxing, has fluffy cat ears. After being chosen, he rises onto his tiptoes and thoughtfully hands the bigwig a copy of A Guide to Raising Beastfolk Cubs. Rule One: Beastfolk cubs are thoughtful and well-behaved. All you need to bring one home is plenty of meat and sweet candy. Rule Two: Beastfolk cubs are clever. They can dress and feed themselves, and know to run home when it rains. They have no intellectual disabilities. Rule Three: Never be mean to a beastfolk cub. Even when they do something wrong, you mustn't smack their palms or their bottoms! Rule Four: Beastfolk cubs are afraid of the dark. Please give them a night-light or a toy to sleep with. It should be a long-eared bunny. The bigwig accepts it with a fake smile, then turns around and dumps him at kindergarten. Yu Qianxing neither cries nor fusses. At home, he plays the role of the bigwig's thoughtful little sweetheart. At kindergarten, he sets his sights on the arrogant little tyrant and starts lining up a backup meal ticket. Albert is a highly valued heir of the Bahande family. The proud young master looks at his new classmate and flicks his wolf ears back in annoyance, his face full of disdain. "You're so weak. I'm not playing with you!" Yu Qianxing props his face in his hands, eyes full of admiration. "You're so cool, big brother! I really look up to you!" Albert's cheeks turn red. "R-really?" Just as the little cub's sweet talk has him completely smitten, Yu Qianxing holds out a strange booklet. "Big brother, do you want a minion? I'm really easy to take care of!" Having a minion who praises him every day doesn't sound so bad. The top takes the booklet, and he and his new minion happily go to school every day. Later, the cub grows into a handsome young man. His snowy-white cat tail swishes back and forth, and he becomes a highly sought-after healer across the stars. The most arrogant and sharp-tongued bigwig deals with the annoying dogs crowding around the bottom while sharing parenting tips on his social media every day. The guide he once tossed aside has been expanded into a thick dictionary. The kindergarten tyrant grows up to become the new head of the beastfolk clan. Wearing a cold expression, he knocks on the bigwig's study door to discuss a marriage arrangement with the bottom. Both their gazes fall on the copy of A Guide to Raising Beastfolk Cubs in the other's hands. The bigwig: "..." Albert: "..." Yu Qianxing: "Oh my!" Albert narrows his eyes and turns to Yu Qianxing at the door. "Did you send it to everyone?" Yu Qianxing blushes and nods. "Hehe." He squirms bashfully. Who says you can only have one meal ticket? Reading guide: 1. Top and bottom are 1v1, both virgins, happy ending. 2. The bigwig has his own love interest and feels only deep, genuine fatherly love for the bottom. 3. The bottom isn't a playboy. He's just a kitten who lost his mom and dad as soon as he was born, and he fears being abandoned, so he hands out care guides everywhere to line up a backup home. 4. The author of A Guide to Raising Beastfolk Cubs is the bottom himself! Theme: Work diligently and enjoy life.
