[Quirky young woman x snow leopard gentleman]

After a major setback in her career, Nan Qiao moved to a small town.

On the second day after moving into her new apartment, she met a strange neighbor.

He went out every evening at dusk and didn't return until the early hours of the morning.

He came and went like a ghost, and she had no idea what he did for work.

Somehow, they always managed to miss each other without meaning to, and they'd never even said hello.

Then one sunny day after the rain, Nan Qiao noticed her neighbor had gone out during the day.

He was quietly holding up a pile of fluffy gray-white blankets to air them out.

For the first time, Nan Qiao worked up the courage to approach him from behind.

But just then, her neighbor turned around. Startled to see her so suddenly, he leapt into the air.

A good half a meter.

The blankets flew into the air too, startled right out of his arms.

Nan Qiao silently concluded that her neighbor was a very timid man.

"Sir, I'm Nan Qiao, your neighbor."

To ease the awkwardness, she said apologetically, "Your blankets are so fluffy. They're adorable."

But her neighbor remained silent. He gave her a strange glance, picked up the blankets, and went inside.

Was her neighbor angry?

Nan Qiao spent the day worrying about it.

Just as she was trying to figure out how to apologize, the doorbell rang.

It was her neighbor, lips pressed together as he held a new fluffy blanket that felt as soft as if it had just been plucked from an animal.

So her neighbor had a soft heart. He'd thought she wanted one of his blankets.

*

Nan Qiao and her neighbor slowly became friends, though they were still strangers in a way.

She really liked this quiet, taciturn friend.

Then, on New Year's Eve, Nan Qiao hesitated for a long time before knocking on his door to wish him a happy new year.

But instead of seeing the lean, powerful arm she expected, a huge, fluffy tail poked out from inside.

A moment later, its owner pulled it back in with his teeth.

One growl after another came from inside, but none of them sounded threatening. They sounded more like whining.

He wanted Nan Qiao to leave.

Nan Qiao opened the door and stared at him in silence.

Well, her neighbor had turned into a snow leopard.

And he was in heat.

[Bonus scene]

The rather large snow leopard rested both enormous paws on the wooden railing, his head obediently placed on top as he stared intently at the little one sleeping inside.

His thick tail stood straight up in the air, swaying slightly to show how happy he was.

His cub.

Nan Qiao's cub.

His and Nan Qiao's cub.

A few minutes later.

Nan Qiao angrily grabbed his tail and rubbed it hard. "This is the baby, not your tail. You can't carry it around in your mouth!"

Upcoming novel: "When I Fell in Love with the Male Lead's Sword Spirit"

In a cave, beside a campfire.

A man dressed in black silently wrung the water from a pink jacket.

He was carefully doing something that didn't suit his cold demeanor at all.

Shen Yichu wore only her undershirt. Sitting beside him, she poked his cheek and asked with a troubled expression, "My martial uncle said that a bonded sword and its master are one. Once they're bound, when the master is alive, the sword is there too, and it stays loyal forever."

"You didn't even tell him you could take human form, and instead you're here with me."

"Doesn't that count as betrayal?"

The man pressed his lips together. For the first time, he gathered the courage to pull the girl into his arms and soothe her softly. "Don't be afraid. I'll take care of it."

Only later did Shen Yichu learn what he meant by taking care of it.

He was willing to stake his sword and its spirit, carving a bloody path through the entire cultivation sect, just to win the freedom to love her.

Yin He was a sword, a sword that had lived for hundreds of years and passed through who knew how many owners. It was also a powerful sword with a terrible reputation.

Legend had it that Yin He brought ruin to its master and could never give birth to a sword spirit. Whoever wielded Yin He never lived past thirty.

Countless people coveted it, but they all backed away in fear.

Yin He would never forget.

Once again, his master had discarded and broken him over a ridiculous wager. His sword spirit had nearly faded away completely when a little girl with a face covered in dust dug him out from the bottom of the barren Lieya Cliff.

She said, "Come home with me. I'll be good to you."

*

Yin He (dejected): "I bring ruin to my masters. Stay away from me."

Shen Yichu (throwing herself at him): "They say I'm cursed and bring misfortune to my father and mother. We're made for each other!"

Upcoming novel 2: "The Wolf She Raised Can Talk" (nonhuman, fluffy romance)

Bright and haughty x cold-faced and adorably clueless

As a newly crowned Best Actress, Jiang Yihuan was as busy as a spinning top all day long.

During a shoot in the mountains, she happened to find a "little gray dog."

Jiang Yihuan was a germaphobe.

She liked things clean and hated mess. Under normal circumstances, she should have stayed three meters away from the filthy puppy.

But for some reason, when she heard its pitiful little whines...

Her heart softened for a moment. She changed direction, wrapped it in her coat, and took it home.

It was just a dog. She could afford to raise one.

But could someone explain why, only a month later, a creature that looked more and more like a wolf had appeared in her apartment!?

"Human, wolves don't eat people. Don't be scared."

Jiang Yihuan: ...She had to be dreaming. How could a dog talk?

Fine, let's say it wasn't a dog.

Then how could a wolf talk???

In the eyes of outsiders, Mu Songyan was a refined, reserved eldest grandson of the Mu family. In the eyes of Old Master Mu, he was the most outstanding heir. But nobody knew that he had a "hidden condition."

When he was five, Mu Songyan discovered that a second personality had appeared inside him.

And the other personality was a little dog.

He kept the secret perfectly hidden.

Until the night of his twenty-fifth birthday, he woke up to find himself curled lazily in a woman's arms.

In the form of a "dog," no less...

He opened his mouth and let out an "Awooo."

Then the woman vigorously ruffled his head.

Mu Songyan was utterly stunned.
