Blurb:

Yi Baixing is a young auspicious beast with a physical defect. Because he can't use his healing powers continuously, everyone dislikes him. No matter how hard he tries, nobody likes him.

Then one day, he transmigrates to a new world.

The people in this world don't get angry when they see him. Instead, they take him home and care for him tenderly, giving him a happy life he'd never had before.

For the first time, he can eat his fill.

For the first time, he has his own little room and his own little bed.

For the first time, so many people love him.

So he wants to do everything he can to repay them.

New spirit-monster cubs haven't been born in the mountain forests for a long time. Since they can't cultivate, spirit monsters of all kinds have been heading to the human world, and the forests have lost their former glory.

Most of the spirit monsters left in the mountains are old, weak, sick, or disabled. The slightest mishap could kill them.

One day, the Mountain God of Qiming Mountain brought home a spirit-monster cub he'd found outside.

The adorable little cub toddled around among them.

Today, he helped dispel the yin energy from their bodies. Tomorrow, he planted vegetation that could purify yin energy. The day after, he helped restore a good deal of their spiritual energy.

The spirit monsters of Qiming Mountain bragged: We're troubled. What do we do when our little cub is so considerate?

The spirit monsters from other mountains: We can help with that. Just hand the little cub over to us.

The old, weak, sick, and disabled spirit monsters of Qiming Mountain instantly perked up and rolled up their sleeves to get to work.

Steal our cub? Let's see you try!

The spirit monsters from the other mountains fled in disarray. Terrifying! Weren't they supposed to be old, weak, sick, and disabled...?

Notes: 1. Primarily a story about raising a cub. The romance between the male leads won't begin until the middle or later part of the story.

2. The cub is the most lovable one of all, and all the affection goes to him.

3. These are my own versions of spirit monsters, with all kinds of original headcanons. Don't take it too seriously. If it's not for you, click away.

Blurb for the upcoming story, Raising a Family in the Apocalypse:

When the apocalypse began, five-year-old Jing Yue's parents were both dead. He fled to a base with his aunt and uncle, but when zombies surrounded them, his aunt and uncle threw him into the zombie horde to draw their fire, then ran away.

Jing Yue thought he was doomed, but a pair of cold hands picked him up and carried him home.

From then on, Jing Yue had a home.

Only, there was something a little strange about his parents.

Their gaits were odd, as though their bodies might fall apart with every step, and their temperature wasn't like that of ordinary people.

But Jing Yue really liked them.

Because when his parents found food, they thought of him first, even if the food was bloody raw meat.

When they had clothes, they gave him some to wear, even if the clothes were adult-size, meant for someone 180 centimeters tall.

When they had toys, they let him play with them, even if the toy was an excavator.

Later, for the sake of his education, his parents even took him to a human settlement.

Looking at his parents, who seemed completely out of place among humans, Jing Yue fell into thought. He'd have to give them a few more lessons on proper human behavior, in case they accidentally gave themselves away.

One day, the little tyrant of the human settlement saw an adorable kid he couldn't stop thinking about.

The cute kid had big, sparkling eyes and was adorable enough to make hearts burst.

Only, the kid's parents seemed sick. They walked with a stutter-step, stumbled over their words, and occasionally twitched.

His dad said it was called a stroke and couldn't be cured.

The little tyrant looked at the cute kid with sympathy.

Waaah, his adorable little brother had such a tragic life.

He'd have to be extra nice to him from now on.

Theme: Work hard and create a wonderful life.
