Latest Lighthearted Novel

When Qiu Xuan was fifteen, a fortune teller said she had the makings of a traitor and rebel. Leading imperial academy students in brawls and inciting a princess to break up her family, behind every mischievous act was the silent strategist, Qiu Xuan. It seemed that ten years later, the Great Yong imperial court would gain a menace. However, the Qiu family became entangled in a conflict between the Emperor and Empress, and the Emperor's decree resulted in the extermination of their entire clan. To survive, Qiu Xuan had no choice but to marry into the Marquisate, becoming a widow by proxy for the missing Young Marquis Yunyang. She thought she would have to wait until a new emperor ascended the throne and issued a general amnesty before she could escape this cage. Unexpectedly, the Young Marquis Yunyang actually returned alive, bringing with him a battle-hardened Commandery Princess, pregnant with his child, as a co-wife. Qiu Xuan, whose sharp edges had been dulled by life in the Marquisate, quickly regrew her thorns. She devised eighteen countermeasures, but all were rendered useless by the Commandery Princess's tears.

The Commandery Princess said, "Help me escape the manor, and not only will I clear your family's name, but you'll also gain promotions and titles." Qiu Xuan replied, "Why should I trust you?" The Commandery Princess countered, "Because I'm pregnant with a prince." Qiu Xuan declared, "This sounds interesting, I'll take the job." The Commandery Princess asked, "What do I need to do?" Qiu Xuan simply said, "Watch me perform."

Ten years later, the Empress Dowager, who had helped the young emperor ascend the throne, tried her old tricks again. The Empress Dowager said, "Deal with the Regent King, and in the future, you'll be second only to one person, above ten thousand others. I'll even have the Emperor call you his 'godmother.'" Minister Qiu Xuan responded, "This sounds interesting, leave it to me." The Empress Dowager then asked, "Why didn't the Regent King die?" Minister Qiu Xuan replied, "Because if he died, it would be boring."

A reserved, cautious, and intellectual secretary and a decisive, single, wealthy, and fastidious CEO. The female protagonist is a talkative, internet-addicted, otome-game-loving "salted fish" (lazy/chill), and the male protagonist is life-clueless, loves junk food, and watches soap operas.

If they say: with a monthly salary of 3,000, I'm the boss's master; with 10,000, the boss is my master. Then for Su Qiong, with a monthly salary of 30,000 and overtime pay of 3,000 per hour, she could practically shout: "I am the boss's dog!"

To keep her job earning half a million a year, Su Qiong was determined to be the most outstanding secretary. Even if the CEO was fastidious and had a strange temper, always giving instructions after work hours, she showed no impatience, demonstrating the professional ethics an excellent secretary should possess. Su Qiong: "Nonsense! With an annual salary of 500,000, enough to buy a house outright in three years, who wouldn't be smiling?!"

Unfortunately, the work was truly exhausting. After six years of anxious and arduous work, Su Qiong planned to submit her resignation to the company she had toiled for half her life, ready to travel the world as a small heiress.

At that time, the pandemic severely broke out in Shanghai, with strict entry and exit restrictions and lockdown management. When news of the community's emergency lockdown came, Su Qiong was at Mu Yunting's home, giving a report. Inadvertently, they could only live together accidentally.

Ye Wan had just graduated from culinary school and was eagerly preparing to open her own small restaurant. However, before her business license even arrived, she stumbled into a peculiar magical world.

The good news was that Ye Wan inherited a small eatery hidden in a deep alley in the main city. With her excellent cooking skills, she could revitalize the tavern and earn more gold kasis and moon silvers.

The bad news was that the small tavern was as dilapidated as a haunted house, its wooden door could be easily kicked open, and the roof leaked.

So, she decided to hire a helper and part-time bodyguard.

Ye Wan specifically went to the main city's employment office and posted a recruitment notice for her small restaurant.

However, only howling werewolves, a bard who sang terribly, and goblins who nearly ripped off the roof showed up.

Finally, while picking mushrooms on the mountain, she stumbled upon a severely injured man.

One shouldn't be a bleeding heart, but this blond man was simply too handsome.

Moreover, Ye Wan glimpsed his eight-pack abs through his tattered gray clothes.

Having a free employee with amnesia was truly a joy. The man immediately repaired the broken roof and wooden door, built a chicken coop in the backyard, and chopped firewood into tall stacks.

With this, Ye Wan finally had time to develop new dishes.

Thick-cut, milky bread, roasted over an open flame, was to be drizzled with fragrant, juicy tomatoes and basil; small, crispy croutons were to be spread with garlic aioli to accompany a steaming bowl of creamy mushroom soup.

Chopped gherkins, with parsley, capers, and chili powder, made into tartar sauce, to go with golden, crispy, tender, and juicy fried chicken straight from the pot.

The small restaurant's business boomed, and the guests who came were all sorts of oddities.

There was a witch determined to travel the world but who got broom-sick...

A mermaid who sang horribly and was extremely afraid of men: "That Andersen guy spread rumors! I'll sue him for defamation! Who would like men anyway?"

And a werewolf who transformed under the moonlight, but instead of howling, would waltz all night long...

Ye Wan often had to go into the city to deliver cherry-scented wine to the largest tavern, bring coriander custard ice cream to the Countess, and prepare anise almond brittle for the annual festival.

In doing so, she also gained a lot of information about the kingdom. For instance, the King mysteriously disappeared while riding a white horse during a festival.

Ye Wan lay back in her rocking chair, warming herself by the fire, laughing heartily as she patted her free employee Yuan's shoulder: "Don't you think this king has some screws loose? Getting lost and disappearing in the city! I should be queen!"

Yuan: "...Yes, he might have some screws loose."

【Short Scene】

Ye Wan was going to the spice shop in the main city to buy wine vinegar and olive oil when she accidentally got lost.

She walked to the mouth of a dark, silent alley, where there were only pale stucco walls and heavy walnut beams.

A woman with an old and hoarse voice, huddled in a corner, called Ye Wan over, offering her a gift.

The woman, covered head-to-toe in black gauze, extended a wrinkled hand, clutching a bright red, luscious apple.

"Eat it, and you'll stay young forever."

Ye Wan: "Auntie, do you think I'm an idiot?"

A financial crisis swept through, forcing Yan Mo to return home for a blind date. What? Over thirty and still unmarried? Is he a complete straight man? A fake marriage to fool grandpa? Is that something a person would even suggest?! She absolutely wouldn't do it.

But the very next day, she was proven thoroughly wrong.

After they were married, Yan Mo said, "Aren't we just pretending to be married? This isn't right." Si Yi replied, "Pretending? The marriage certificate is real." Life after marriage seemed quite good too: someone takes the blame when she makes a mistake, someone coaxes her when she's sad, and someone indulges her when she throws a tantrum...

Wen Xi was reborn, returning to 18 years old. At this time, she hadn't been expelled from school, her fiancé hadn't come to break off the engagement, the scumbag relatives plotting to usurp her family's place hadn't succeeded, and most importantly, her parents were still alive and well! Since she was fortunate enough to start over, she vowed not to let the tragedy of her family's ruin happen again. In this life, she would definitely protect her loved ones and live a brilliant life!

***

He Tingyan was 26 this year, almost 30 but his heart hadn't opened to love, until he met Wen Xi. His childhood friend, not knowing any better, insisted on pulling him to play the 'I have, you don't' game. He Tingyan immediately dropped a trump card. "I have a girlfriend." "..." Second round. "This is me, drawn by her." The next second, a full-body portrait appeared in the childhood friends' group chat named 'Never Marry', and after sending it, the owner of the portrait left the group. "He Er, why did you leave the group?" "I already have an owner, this group name doesn't suit me." "..." "Do you guys have paintings given by your girlfriends?" "..." "Then I won this round again." "He Er!" "Hmm?" "There's something I've wanted to ask you for a long time." "What?" "Are you just bored if you don't spread dog food all day?" "No." "Hei~tui!"

Shameless wife-chasing scene— "Let me ask you something, Xiao Xi." "Speak." "Want to date? The kind that leads to marriage and having children." "No, thank you." "...Then do you need a model? The kind that can burn bright for art." "How much per hour?" "No money, just guarantee marriage." "..."

Beautiful and strong female lead & Determined-once-he-decides male lead.

Female lead's profession: Painter.

Male lead's profession: Spreading dog food (i.e., showing public displays of affection).

Yu Yuet Yue accidentally transmigrated into a cannon fodder female supporting character in a CEO novel, and also bound a pain system named 009. The system told her, "You are a cannon fodder female supporting character, your ending will be tragic, and you must complete the mission of conquering the male lead in time, otherwise you will receive cruel pain punishment."

Yu Yuet Yue diligently completed the missions issued by System 009, marrying Shang Xu, a rich and handsome man who had taken over the family business early. She sweetly called him "husband" all day and revolved around him, just to—avoid the damned pain punishment.

Every time they ate, Yu Yuet Yue would pick up vegetables and put them in the man's bowl beside her, smiling with crescent eyes, and say, "Husband, have some vegetables."—"Pain immunity value +1, currently 8 hours remaining until pain punishment."

Seeing Shang Xu about to get into the car for the company, Yu Yuet Yue quickly rushed over, and through the slowly descending car window, she sweetly called out, "Good morning, husband, husband..."—"Pain immunity value +7, currently 15 hours remaining until pain punishment."

Everyone outside knew that Shang Xu deeply detested manipulative women like Yu Yuet Yue, and that he would soon divorce her, at which point Yu Yuet Yue would become the laughingstock of City A. However, not only did the two not divorce, they even participated in a romance reality show together. Netizens were both shocked and impressed by Yu Yuet Yue's audacity. In the live broadcast room, Shang Xu pressed Yu Yuet Yue against...

As a high-energy working student, Chi Leyou legally worked in her spare time. One day, she came to a famous mansion to clean the swimming pool. The middle-aged mistress of the mansion was exceptionally beautiful and alluring, teasing a young man in his early twenties. It was exciting and explosive, a diamond-grade male college student. Oh my, can she watch a mosaic-like scene without paying? Chi Leyou hid under the pool, ready to witness some drama! But what was wrong with that young man? Where was his self-awareness as a worker? What was his attitude towards his sugar mommy? Had his professionalism been eaten by dogs?! Boohoo, the rich lady sister was too doting! Sister was suffering a loss! Chi Leyou clenched her fists, feeling indignant for the sister.

The dignified second heir of the Shen family couldn't win over a study abroad student; this matter became a joke in their circle. After chasing her for 100 days, Shen Che stopped chasing. He picked up the girl and stuffed her into the car. In the cramped car space, Chi Leyou met a pair of crimson eyes. Wild, yearning, thirsty, like a hawk that had been enduring for a long time and was about to go berserk. She was inexplicably nervous, pressing against his chest, resisting: "Don't come over!" *Thud*, a small notebook fell out of her cross-body bag. Shen Che picked it up—

"Student Worker's Diary"

Day 1: Went to work at the rich sister's house. The sister is beautiful and kind, but the little "puppy" brother she raised is disobedient. Sister punished him!

Day 2: Met the little "puppy" while working at the mall, happily worked for 3 hours. Sister, do you know your brother is secretly working? Give him more pocket money, sister.

Day 5: Worked as an extra with him. Turns out he has a long-sick mother, a gambler father, and a remarried mother. Boohoo, a hellish start, don't cry little puppy. Sister will pamper him!

...

Day 99: He confessed to me, he likes me? Is he crazy?! Is he worthy of his sugar mommy? He eats her food, uses her things! How much the sister loves him! Sister is confused! Raising a dog can at least wag its tail for you a few times, raising him will only shake out all your HuaBei (Ant Credit Pay)!

Day 100: Blank.

Shen Che looked up from the blank page, gazing incredulously at Chi Leyou: "I'm crazy? I'm a dog? Where's this sugar mommy? It's fine if you curse me, but you're slandering me as a gigolo?!"

Synopsis: [Main text concluded, anti-theft 30%]

[Gentle yet strong little sun bamboo immortal × Tsundere ascetic wolf demon]

Biqing of the Xiaoxiang tribe accidentally fell into the Demon Realm and was conveniently rescued by the passing Xuan Yi.

Good news: She didn't die!

Bad news: Her spiritual power was sealed!

Worse news: She was picked up by a wolf demon and taken back to his wolf den!

Biqing: This isn't how it's written in storybooks QAQ!

To survive and go to the Human Realm, she began her daily routine of looking after wolf cubs.

And incidentally, she would undergo a tribulation in the Demon Realm.

Biqing: So my life is this tough?!

One day, as she was comforting an injured wolf cub, a man's steady yet trembling voice sounded in front of her:

Kang He transmigrated into a simpleton who became a live-in son-in-law.

The family he married into was poor and cold, with no grain left after a year, and no copper coins in their box;

They had three thatched cottages and a few acres of barren land barely enough to eat from;

The father-in-law seemed honest and simple,

while the mother-in-law was sharp and capable;

His husband was quiet, focusing only on earning money to support the family.

———

Kang He couldn't fully recognize the characters of the Zhang Dynasty, nor could he understand the local dialects.

Fortunately – he was originally a fool.

So he continued pretending to be a fool while learning and living his life~

———

In spring, he tilled the fields; in summer, he sold cool drinks;

In autumn, he harvested crops; in winter, the mountains were covered in snow...

Smoke curled up from chimneys, and life was tranquil.

Kang He scooped a bowl of warm chestnut chicken soup and brought it to his husband who had just returned from hunting.

The wild chestnuts picked from the mountains were stewed until soft and mushy, the free-range chicken meat was tender and not dry, and the soup was sweet and richly fragrant.

He watched his husband finish the entire bowl before taking out the banknotes and copper coins saved over the years to discuss with him:

In times of peace, with some money in hand, it's better to send Da Bao to the newly opened private school at the village entrance to learn some characters,

and if he could become an accountant in the future, it would be respectable and less toilsome than farming...

1. A somewhat "housewifely" gong & a somewhat cold shou

2. Daily life, with quite a bit of side character plot, enter with caution if you mind.
