Demon hunter Li Ling needs to take the heart from Immortal Venerable He Wuchi to cure a poison, but sleeping drugs and poison are completely ineffective against him. Even when he's gravely wounded, his true energy protects him, leaving him impossible to harm.
So Li Ling starts taking a gentler approach, showering her taciturn, aloof master with flattery every day, hoping to soften him.
One day, two days, one month, two months... After spending every day together, her master really is moved. He even offers to let her cut out his heart.
But when it comes time to do it, she hesitates.

On the first day Li Ling gives up on cutting out his heart, He Wuchi's eyes turn red.
By the first week, He Wuchi has developed countless weaknesses.
After a month, He Wuchi starts deliberately letting himself get hurt, begging her to go through with it.
Unfortunately, Li Ling is stubborn and loves going against people. Not only does she refuse to do it, she treats him even better, and ends up driving her master into a split personality...
Li Ling: Wait, is this how things are supposed to go?
A sweet story with no angst. You won't regret reading it!

[Reborn in the Nineties, Queen of the Sock Factory]
[Rugged, loyal-dog male lead x free-spirited female lead who works her way up]
[Setting: Northeastern China in the 1990s, alternate timeline, not historically exact]
Reborn in 1998, the first thing Qi Jiang plans to do is break off the engagement that would make her miserable for the rest of her life.
But before she can come up with a plan, her stepsister, who has never gotten along with her, rushes in and steals the engagement.
She doesn't understand why her stepsister has changed, but she's more than happy to see it and even helps her out.
With the root of her misery gone, she resolves to give herself a fresh start in this life.
First, she'll escape her dysfunctional family. Second, she'll find a job that can support her.
She knows that several sock factories will soon open in town, which will eventually become an industrial park in the north. She plans to get a job at one of the factories, learn the trade, and be the first to seize the opportunity. Then, before housing prices rise, she'll find herself a little home.
But as she keeps knitting socks, how does she end up as the owner? And even an industry tycoon in the industrial park?!
Once she's rich, Qi Jiang has achieved her life's dream. Now that she's comfortably fed and clothed, she starts thinking about finding someone to share her bed.
Looking around, she realizes that the young owner of the repair shop, who's always been by her side, seems like a good choice.
He's a little rough around the edges, but what a great body!
He's a little cold, but he cooks delicious food!
Shave his beard and fix his hair, and he looks just like a movie star!
Most importantly, he's strong, great in bed, and has no in-laws!
Theme: Love and companionship, joining hands to protect the world.
