A Part-Time Medical Assistant Reaps Fame and Fortune

Su Yi is a female veterinarian and an overworked wage slave stuck working around the clock. Her boss emotionally manipulates her, and her coworkers undermine and backstab her. Every day, she wants to quit.

On her way home late one night, she picked up a little pig and brought it home. It had severe separation anxiety and was destructive around the house.

With no other choice, she had to bring the pig to work with her.

Then strange things started happening. Even the fiercest pets tried their best to please her, and within a month she’d received five pennants of appreciation.

That same night, Su Yi saw the pig poop out a glittering, radiant pearl. Strange markings appeared on its hide, and stranger still, the pearl only glowed inside her home.

Then a refined man dressed in ancient-style clothing introduced himself as Danzhu. “Miss, I’d like to buy the pearls in your home. You can name your price and choose how I pay. Also, come work at my veterinary clinic. I’ll pay you ten times your current salary.”

Su Yi immediately opened the government’s anti-scam app on her phone. “Please leave, or I’ll call the police.”

Behind Danzhu, two enormous phantom pigs appeared. The markings on their bristles were identical to those on the little pig. Oh my god, did the pig’s parents and owner come looking for it?!

Su Yi shoved the little pig and its colorful pearl into Danzhu’s arms, then shut and locked the door in one smooth motion.

“Miss, you won’t have a job tomorrow. Think it over.” Danzhu had a lovely voice.

The next day, Su Yi saw that a concrete mixer truck had smashed off half the veterinary clinic, leaving it badly damaged and in ruins. She screamed inwardly: Is Danzhu some kind of crow spirit?!

The clinic would be closed for renovations for three months, and Su Yi’s grandmother, who had raised her, needed cataract surgery and an artificial lens. Su Yi did everything she could to earn money from odd jobs.

When she was physically and mentally exhausted, a colorful parrot landed on her shoulder with a job posting in its beak: “Shanhai Exotic Pet Shop is hiring a part-time night-shift worker. One thousand yuan per night, paid daily.”

This has to be a scam! It has to be a scam! It’s definitely a scam, right?!

Su Yi went anyway. Huh? There really was a Shanhai Exotic Pet Shop beneath a huge banyan tree. The exotic pets were healthy and beautiful, the owner, Shen Can, was gorgeous and kind, and the online reviews were excellent too.

Nothing happened during her first night shift. When she finished, her wages had already arrived. Wonderful!

Can you get addicted to part-time work?!

But during her second night shift, the entire night turned out to be stranger than a dream. Someone stepped out of a painting on the wall, and it was none other than Danzhu. Even more unbelievable, her life changed from that moment on, bringing her both fame and fortune!

She missed the Danzhu she’d known before. Now… he was kind of annoying.

…

Danzhu had lived for over a thousand years, through times of triumph and of bloodshed, witnessing the rise and fall of countless eras. Before he was murdered, the shaman Wen Yao warned him, helping him escape death. From then on, he wandered between worlds.

“If no one envies you, you’re worthless.” Danzhu loved the animals of Shanhai far more than people, but the shaman Wen Yao was an exception. She was passionate, sincere, kind, and strong-willed. When the world changed overnight, he lost all trace of her.

Then the little Tongtong, who had sneaked into the human world, latched onto the female veterinarian Su Yi. One quick calculation told him the truth…

Then it was time to repay kindness with kindness and take revenge for every grievance. He wondered whether Su Yi might come to like him.
