Little Lord of the Beast World: Farming and Raising Cubs

[A cold-on-the-outside, warm-on-the-inside black panther top with an overwhelming possessive streak x a human bottom who's tough-talking but soft-hearted and obsessed with fluffy things]

One day, Chen Mingyi transmigrated into the body of a little lord with a vast tract of land.

But before Chen Mingyi could celebrate, the sight before him left him speechless.

The little lord's tribe was a wreck, and its residents were all kinds of beastfolk.

Some flew in the sky, some walked on land, some swam in the water. They came in all shapes and sizes, yet every one of them was thin and pitiful.

Even the place he lived was no more than a small cave with a few shabby planks propped up outside, offering no protection from wind or rain.

The door made from those flimsy planks swayed precariously in the wind, and the beastfolk had it even worse.

What kind of lord is this? I'm done with this job!

Chen Mingyi said he was "done with this job," but still led the beastfolk under his command in rebuilding their home.

No warm, comfortable shelter? Let's build one together!

No fresh, delicious food? Let's plant vegetable gardens and orchards!

No clean, safe water source nearby? Let's dig canals and wells!

No safe environment where people can feel secure? Let's build barracks and a police station!

No lord's wife to have cubs? Hey, beautiful with black hair and golden eyes, would you... Wait, you're a male beast? I don't want a man! I don't want a man!

Don't come any closer!

The little lord Chen Mingyi's tribe grew more and more prosperous, and his beastfolk subjects began living happy, wonderful lives.

Even the little lord safely gave birth to a tiny black-furred kitten with golden eyes.

Holding the little black kitten, Chen Mingyi fell into deep thought: Why would a person give birth to a cat? No, wait, why did I give birth at all?!

Here's a preview of my upcoming novel, The Empire's Marshal Keeps Competing and Taking What's His.

Blurb: Duan Xinghe is an ordinary Beta, with both parents deceased and a poor family background. Someone like him should never be able to find a partner in his entire life.

But he has a boyfriend, Song Ting, an S-rank Alpha. Song Ting is outstanding and dazzling. Although he is just as broke and down on his luck as Duan Xinghe, he is willing to share a poor but peaceful life with him.

Duan Xinghe works desperately to earn money, hoping to send his outstanding S-rank Alpha boyfriend to military school, so that someone as dazzling as him can have a bright future, and so that they can have a bright future together.

Until one day, in a torrential downpour, Duan Xinghe delivers expensive red wine to the most luxurious entertainment club in the capital.

Through glass shimmering with neon lights,

he sees his Alpha boyfriend, who is too stingy to buy socks that cost five pairs for ten yuan, celebrating the birthday of a delicate, beautiful Omega, and paying the bill for the entire club.

Only then does Duan Xinghe learn that his Alpha boyfriend isn't called Song Ting at all. His name is Chu Tingen, the youngest son of the Chu family, a dynasty of military officers in the Empire.

He had simply made a bet with his friends to see if he could use his looks to find any Beta and keep them.

Chu Tingen won that ridiculous bet, while Duan Xinghe was nothing but a clown they used for their amusement.

In his panic, Duan Xinghe smashed the expensive wine. The club staff grabbed him, forced him to drink some unknown liquid, then threw him into a dark suite.

The debauchery of that night nearly drove Duan Xinghe to despair and death. When he woke, the man beside him was still asleep.

Duan Xinghe got dressed and hurried away, escaping that place and fleeing the planet.

When Chu Tingen met Duan Xinghe again, Duan Xinghe was standing at the kindergarten entrance, holding an adorable little dumpling of a child, as white as jade.

"Dad, there's a weird uncle staring at you!"

Chu Tingen's voice was hoarse. "The child... is..."

"Don't get any ideas. The child isn't yours." Duan Xinghe immediately put an end to Chu Tingen's hopes.

But Chu Tingen refused to believe him and kept pestering Duan Xinghe and the little dumpling,

until the man known as "the demon who crawled out of hell" stood beside Duan Xinghe and coldly warned Chu Tingen: "Stay away from my lover and child!"

Chu Tingen opened his mouth, but couldn't argue a word. He could only lower his head and meekly reply, "Yes, little uncle..."
