The Divine Beast Cub Is Five and a Half, and the Entire Court Dotes on Me

To repay a debt of gratitude on her father's behalf, a little Pixiu spirit arrives with a red marriage thread and attaches herself to a foolish girl who was sold off as a child bride to bring good fortune to a sickly groom. The good news: the person she must repay is the handsome young scholar she was married off to. The bad news: his luck has been stolen, and he is on the verge of death! The little Pixiu sighs. If her big brother weren't so handsome, ahem, if she weren't repaying a debt of gratitude, she would never take on such exhausting work. Just as everyone is ready to laugh at the Song family, their luck keeps getting better. Their granaries are always full, they eat meat every day, and their silver grows by the day. Song Qingyou, who was on the brink of death, pulls through and becomes the first person in the dynasty to achieve top honors in all three imperial examinations. He even rises to become a powerful court official! Just as the little Pixiu is preparing to bow out after completing her mission, the ever-proper Song Qingyou clings to her like a lovesick puppy. “My dear wife, didn't you say that a life-saving kindness should be repaid by marrying the rescuer?” The little Pixiu grits her teeth. “Don't make me tear our red thread apart again!”
