An Qiyao was reborn on a continent of beastfolk, with no experience with the opposite sex. From the start, she faced a mortifying, hellish choice.

A green-eyed werewolf had eaten the three sisters from her litter and was now hunting her down, intent on claiming her as his mate.

She was just a tiny wild rabbit. Their species were incompatible, so all she could do was run.

She escaped the wolf's claws, only to fall into a dragon's jaws.

The golden-eyed man looked at the tiny rabbit clamped onto his hand, and the smear of blood on his palm.

He said coolly, "Are you in heat?"

By sheer bad luck (NOT), Qiyao became the pet (NOT) of His Highness Oren, known as the "Mad Hunter."

The terrifying man said, "The Summer Palace has 200 rooms. I think we should try them all!"

-

This continent is ruled by beastfolk, and the mighty empire is undergoing social upheaval in the steam age.

After dealing with the trouble of her heat, Qiyao decided to make it on her own and seized the chance to escape during a "kidnapping."

Oren never expected that when he stepped out to collect a gift sent all the way from the capital for his little female, she would be gone.

Oren thought his little female had been kidnapped. When he saw her again, she was involved with a werewolf.

Damn it!

She'd clearly promised to take responsibility for him. The little liar!

The giant dragon roared in fury, nearly flattening the surrounding countryside.

The little bunny transformed and escaped. A crafty hare has three burrows, and even a giant dragon couldn't fish her out of the vast forest.

Qiyao only wanted to get away from her evil dragon owner. What kind of owner gets all cuddly with their pet? Pervert!

The golden-eyed dragon blew a puff of air in her face and declared arrogantly, "I'll give you three chances to escape. After that, you'll be a good little pet."

Pets like to wreck the house. The moment the door opens, they dash outside to play, but when they're done, they have to come home obediently or they'll starve to death out there.

Qiyao refused to become a pet or a mistress, and worked hard to find her own way to survive in this strange world.

Obedience gets you looked down on, and defiance gets you crushed!

The dragon's claws couldn't hold back the tiny bunny determined to break free.

In a world ruled by men, women can carve out a place of their own.

Later...

When Qiyao was rewarded for her service, she chose a title over a husband.

The next day, the empire was buzzing with the news: The most powerful and noble Black Dragon in the land had been dumped in front of all the court officials by a teeny-tiny bunny!!!

Reader's guide: The male and female leads are both human, but have different bloodlines.

1. [Bowing and begging] From an aloof ruler to a man desperately pursuing his wife, from forced possession to humble courtship.

2. A return to the old-school romance, with a couple that has even more push and pull. They say the best hunters appear as prey.

3. It's really just an old-school romance with a fantasy skin. The worldbuilding is improvised, so don't take it too seriously. The focus is the couple's back-and-forth, each taking turns pursuing and resisting, a two-person wrestling match where neither wants to yield.

[In love with her best friend's crush] [Stealing someone else's partner] [Success]

Office worker X heir

Tang Hua always thought her feelings for Wei Yuan were just an infatuation born of inexperience, or maybe the sort of celebrity projection that goes viral online: an admiration for someone powerful.

Over her three years at university, that infatuation only grew amid a strange love triangle, until she couldn't pull herself free.

Every day, she watched Wei Yuan dote on his childhood sweetheart, carrying her bags, buying her milk tea, saving her a seat, and helping her study. He was always patient and attentive, his eyes full of tenderness. She couldn't help imagining, again and again, how lucky she would be to be the one he cared for.

His childhood sweetheart often put herself down and confided in her. "Hua Hua, everyone says you and Wei Yuan look better together!"

Tang Hua did everything she could to deny it. The gulf between their families could never be crossed, and the childhood sweetheart's friendship was the last thing she wanted to lose. But when Wei Yuan returned from studying abroad, her feelings became harder and harder to suppress.

An accident turned those improper thoughts into a secret affair.

Tang Hua tried her best to keep the three of them together, but he said, "If you don't tell her and I don't tell her, how will she ever know?"

To fulfill a longing she'd carried for years, she gave in to her own greed. In their stolen moments, she got the love she'd dreamed of, and tasted pain that cut to the bone.

Li Qingqing found out, and their relationship fell apart completely. Tang Hua lost her best friend, while news spread of Wei Yuan's engagement to a well-born heiress from a family of equal standing.

He asked her, "Do you regret it?"

Tang Hua smiled with her head bowed. "I do. But if I had another chance, I'd still make the same choice!"

She left with the autumn wind. He didn't try to stop her, and from then on the lights in his home stayed on night after night until dawn.

-

When Wei Yuan lost Tang Hua, he thought everything had simply returned to where it started.

But for the first time, he felt the chill of autumn. Withered leaves scraped along the ground. The disconnected tone on the phone rang out again and again, smashing the cliff edge in his heart to pieces. His cries from the precipice went unanswered, and every second became an ordeal.

First-generation mogul tyrant who loves flattery X all-around little minx

-

The first time Tan Zongnian met Zhang Lu, he thought she had a sweet smile, seemed simple, and would be easy to fool.

Feeling softhearted, he spent a little money to coax and educate her, so she wouldn't get badly taken advantage of out there.

Zhang Lu thought it was all a misunderstanding.

But he was a major client, and she was just a lowly salesperson. She had to know her place and take his advice!

Her friends told her to keep at it. If she used the big shot to close another five million in sales, she could knock ten years off her mortgage.

She never expected that, after all their back-and-forth, she'd use him to free herself from servitude, only to end up on a pirate ship.

-

They'd exchanged letters for three months, met five times, and eaten more meals together than she could count. Tan Zongnian tapped the table with his hand, clearly displeased. "You've got some nerve, trying to ride two boats at once."

The man sitting next to him was Zhang Lu's first love.

Zhang Lu blushed and blinked, putting on a sugary, affected voice. "What do you mean, two boats? Do you think I'm a giant with legs long enough to reach your aircraft carrier? I've only got one foot aboard, and I haven't even found my balance yet!"

Tan Zongnian's voice grew stern. "You're already on board, and you still dare deny it!"

Zhang Lu figured she couldn't back down as the third party, so she straightened her back and said, "I haven't even bought a ticket. At most, I'm stowing away."

Ha! They weren't even boyfriend and girlfriend, and he was already putting her on trial. No way!

Tan Zongnian glared at her furiously. "Zhang Lu, just try sneaking around. You think I won't break your legs?"

Zhang Lu regretted it.

She'd thought he was an easy-to-placate, easy-to-fool old engineer. She never expected him to be a tyrant.

Bad-tempered, petty, stingy, and ridiculously controlling. Apart from his money and a decent face and body, he didn't meet a single one of her boyfriend requirements.
