"I just wanted to finish my shift, eat some ramen and go to sleep. Was that too much to ask?!" Neve had two goals in life: survive college and keep his part-time zoo job long enough to pay his tuition. Simple. But it was completely ruined when he saved his coworker from falling into the lion enclosure, fell in himself and died on a Thursday before he could eat his dinner. The worst part? It wasn't even supposed to be him. His coworker Rena was the one meant to fall. The one meant to come to this world. The one meant to receive the mission, the body, the whole thing. But Neve saved her. So now it was his problem. Waking up as a red panda in a beast world where nobody had ever seen a red panda before was not on his schedule. Neither was being mistaken for a female by an entire tribe including the chief. Neither was the system that showed up and handed him the most unhinged mission he had ever read in his life. {Welcome Host! Your mission — build a tribe of two hundred!} Neve grabbed a stick and started drawing recruitment plans in the dirt. Leadership structures. Resource management. He was actually proud of himself. {Clarification — the two hundred refers to litters.} The stick dropped. "LITTERS?!" {Do keep up, Host.} And as if the system wasn't already his biggest enemy, he shifted. One moment, he's a small confused red panda with no plan. Next moment, he's standing in the beast world looking like THAT. Pale skin. Black hair with red at the tips. Golden eyes. Red ears that had absolutely no business being that attractive. Suddenly every powerful, dangerous and completely unhinged beast man within breathing distance had very strong feelings about him. Neve did not build a harem. The harem built itself around him and refused to leave. . Three years later... "The litters are out!" Roan announced, wiping what was definitely not a tear from his face. "Twelve. Healthy. Beautiful. I counted twice." Aldric appeared in the doorway with a warm cloth. "How is he? Does he need anything? I made soup—" "I also made soup," Kael said quietly from the corner where he had apparently been standing for an unknown amount of time. "I made soup first," Aldric said. The door burst open. Ryken stood in the frame breathing hard as he had sprinted from the eastern border. His eyes went straight to Neve. "I came as fast as I could. Are you— is he— are they—" "Everyone is fine," Cael said from beside Neve, not looking up. Ryken sagged with relief. Then looked around at the room full of husbands competing to be the most useful and frowned. "Did I miss anything?" Vaelthorn's ancient, unbothered face shifted into something that was almost a smile from his corner. "Only one question left." He looked around the room slowly. "Whose litter is Neve producing next?" "MINE!" Every single one of them said at the same time. Neve lay back, completely surrounded as he stared at the ceiling and thought about his old life. His old job. His old stinky enclosures. 'I'd genuinely rather be back in that zoo right now.' . . He was a zookeeper. He just never expected to end up as the most protected, most fought over and most aggressively loved creature in the entire beast world. Nobody warned him that working with animals was a lifetime commitment.

The screech of brakes tore through the rainy night as Zoe Xu, twenty-nine, drew her last breath in a fatal car crash. The final image seared into her mind was Hugh Pei holding another woman, Lila Wei, in his arms—a sight that, combined with the news of her family's bankruptcy, became the cruelest epitaph for her short life. The marriage that began as a business alliance had ended with her tragic death, paving the way for him and his "one true love." But at the moment of her death, fate hit the reset button. Zoe awakens in her bedroom, three months into her marriage with Hugh. The crystal chandelier still sparkles, but the woman in the mirror has not yet been worn down by his emotional neglect. A glimmer of foolish hope for their marriage still lingers in her eyes. This time, the proud heiress of A-City is done being subservient. She is determined to tear down the "perfect couple" charade. She watches his cold detachment with indifference and, this time, is the first to serve the divorce papers. The love and hate of her past life have burned to ashes; all she wants is to reclaim what her family lost and live for herself. But then, things begin to go off the rails. Hugh, who once treated their home like a hotel, starts coming home on time. The man who never spared a thought for her feelings now brings her hot coffee when she works late. His strange behavior sends ripples across the calm surface of Zoe's heart. Is this the butterfly effect of her rebirth, or is he plotting something new? A chance encounter at "Encounter Café" brings an even bigger surprise. Lila Wei, the girl Hugh cherished, is there, bustling between tables in an apron, her smile as bright as the rumors say. But looking into her eyes, Zoe sees an innocence that startles her. Perhaps this "one true love" never knew she was a weapon destined to shatter another woman's life. As Hugh and Lila meet and fall in love again, just as they did in the past, Zoe stands at a crossroads, questioning for the first time: is revenge the only answer? From quiet endurance to sharp brilliance, Zoe reclaims her family's honor in the world of business while navigating an emotional tug-of-war that reveals the truth of the heart. Hugh's belated affection, Lila's innocent gaze, and the growing pains of her own rediscovery weave a complex web. She finally understands that rebirth isn't about repeating hatred, but about the chance to choose: to drown in the pain of the past, or to walk towards a future that is truly her own. This is a story of female awakening—a battle fought when the illusion of marriage is stripped away and the halo of a "perfect rival" shatters. It’s a story where two evolving souls collide and spark amidst the city's neon lights. You'll find an emotional chess game of sweetness and angst, the satisfying thrill of a comeback against all odds, and the courage of a woman rebuilding herself from the ruins. This urban romance—a blend of second chances, powerful protagonists, and real-world questions—will pull you in. After all, life offers no true do-overs, but we always have the power to rewrite our ending.

Fu Xiaoxiao transmigrates into a book and immediately faces the crisis of being sent to the countryside. As the unloved middle child, her younger sister is the one meant to go — but her mother transfers her job to the sister instead. A disaster of a start. To avoid being sent away, she has to marry within seven days. She meets a few ordinary men and decides she'd rather go to the countryside. Then she runs into a neighbor who's also looking for a spouse — and his conditions are surprisingly good. A dowry of three hundred? Bicycles and a radio? Just take care of the kids, and separate rooms are fine? The others may pass, but she won't. Every day is a battle of wits with the two kids. Life is eventful, she gets a salary every month, and the boss is never home. Absolutely perfect. Except... wasn't this big shot supposed to be infertile? Then why does he keep strutting around naked in front of her? She has professional ethics. She won't be seduced by a good body. Hmph. Men only slow down her sword swing. Lu Feng grits his teeth at Fu Xiaoxiao, who remains completely unmoved by his countless attempts to seduce her, and traps her in his arms. "Boss, let's talk this through. I know forty a month is a bit much — how about... five less?" Trapped in his embrace, Fu Xiaoxiao thinks he's unhappy with her high salary and starts bargaining. "I'm giving myself to you for free." Lu Feng grinds out through clenched teeth. This woman has no heart. "...Can I say no?" Fu Xiaoxiao swallows, staring at the washboard abs so close. "Such a good deal — are you sure you don't want it?" Lu Feng squints, tempting her. "Fine." A fool turns down a bargain.
