An employee at a major 007 company tragically died at his desk, then was thrown off the roof by his entire department. But the next day, not only did he show up for work as usual to submit his resignation, he also forwarded every colleague a wedding invitation.
Colleagues: ?!
"An elderly relative in my family passed away, so I have to go home and inherit the family business," Zhou Lianye said, too.
Seeing his coworkers' reddened eyes and twisted faces, he sincerely advised them, "Don't be too sad. Not everyone is lucky enough to finish two major life events in one day and achieve complete financial freedom. Oh, come take a look. This is a photo of my wife."
The wedding invitation on WeChat showed a handsome young man whose face was hard to make out. His eyes were lowered slightly, and he nervously clutched the hem of his clothes. But if you looked closely, you could see a strange eyeball floating behind his head.
"And here's the dog farm I inherited."
Zhou Lianye brought out another photo. It showed a huge old mansion and a secluded courtyard, where dozens of dog cages stood in neat rows. The cages held all kinds of dogs, and every one of them was a large breed.
But if you looked carefully, all the dogs seemed to be watching the black dog's reaction, obediently crouching on the ground.
"Just these dogs alone are worth at least ten or twenty million," Zhou Lianye said, gesturing with his hand. "Of course, the most valuable thing is the resort. The address is at the bottom of the invitation, so you all have to come."
Zhou Lianye thought to himself: They'd better not skimp on the wedding gift.

He'd spent his days working himself to the bone, never guessing that his ancestors had been secretly loaded.
Even after taking a tumble, Zhou Lianye still got back up and went to work. But after only a couple of steps, he got a phone call.
The old man on the other end told him that his grandfather's eldest brother, his great-uncle, had died the night before. He had left all his property to Zhou Lianye, who needed to come home and take care of the arrangements.
His great-uncle also said, "I spent my whole life pouring my heart and soul into building this resort, which is worth over a hundred million. Of course, I'm not giving it to you for nothing. You have to look after my precious ones first. They're worth a fortune, so consider them a bargain."
Precious ones?
Zhou Lianye hurried home and found a yard full of dogs, along with a breathtakingly beautiful young man.
There was no need to think about it.
The precious one was obviously the young man.
Zhou Lianye ignored the last word of his great-uncle's message. He sidled up to the young man and asked, "Looks like there are only a bunch of misfits left in this village. If you don't mind, how about we give dating a try?"
Pu Wu jumped in fright. His heart pounded, and he lowered his head, not daring to speak.
After all, over the thousands of years he'd spent in this village, he had accumulated countless admirers. Every single one of them had a ghastly green face, fangs bared and claws out...
Life after achieving financial freedom turned out to be even more fulfilling than Zhou Lianye had imagined.
By day, he walked the dogs around the village, keeping the unruly residents of the resort in line.
At night, he turned into the black dog in the courtyard. Besides keeping the pack of dogs in check, what he loved most was hopping onto his wife's bed to cuddle and kiss him.
His wife was so popular, and so shy.
He would have to take his time and win him over.
The days passed until one or two, and then a whole group of "players," arrived at the resort.
Zhou Lianye: Welcome to the Calamity Resort.
Players: !!!!!!!!
Reader's Note:
The male lead is a powerful top with a special bloodline. He starts out weak, then gradually levels up.
His ancestors were big shots who raised dogs to deal with paranormal incidents. In the 21st century, the family business has become bringing fairly obedient ghosts back to the resort and reforming them.
The love interest was cursed, but he's a living person who can't die. So he's an ordinary person with a special identity, part of a hidden storyline.
That's all I've got for now. If you're interested, please add it to your reading list!
