Paws, Furs, and Other Scams

Paws, Furs, and Other Scams

Travis and Carlton are two average guys trying to make it big—except they’re terrible at everything. When a random idea to start a dog-walking business falls into their laps, they realize they’ve found their true calling: scamming their way to success. At first, they just fake it till they make it—offering "premium dog services" they know nothing about, from overpriced spa treatments to fake dog yoga. But as their business grows, so does their web of lies, and soon they’re pretending to be everything from pet psychic consultants to high-end dog trainers. Each scam is more ridiculous than the last, but somehow they manage to convince clients that they’re experts. Their latest adventure? A secret underground dog fashion show with elite canine influencers, where the stakes are higher than a poodle’s coiffed hair. But things quickly spiral out of control when their lies get tangled up with actual dangerous (and even illegal) schemes—dog food recalls, fake adoption agencies, and a money-laundering operation disguised as a pet fashion line. Travis and Carlton find themselves knee-deep in scams, misfit pets, and hilarious situations where the only thing they’re truly good at is getting out of sticky situations… just in time for their next big (and absurd) con. "Paws, Furs, and Other Scams" is a wild, laugh-out-loud journey through a world of low-level cons, bad decisions, and two friends who will do anything for a quick buck—even if it means fooling the entire city one scam at a time.

The Villainess Now Has the Whole Galaxy on Their Knees

Sophie Wexler transmigrated into a novel about The Galaxy, becoming the vicious, F-rank Healer-class cannon fodder. The original owner constantly caused trouble and made things difficult for the female lead, earning her the hatred of the entire internet. Upon transmigrating and seeing that everything had been ruined by the original owner, Sophie's only thought was: "What kind of nightmare start is this?!" To escape the original owner's fate, Sophie Wexler worked diligently, conducted herself conscientiously, stayed away from the male and female leads, compensated the soldiers harmed by the original owner, and strove to be a model citizen of The Galaxy, absolutely refusing to be the cannon fodder 'offed' by the Imperial Marshal! Broke and powerless, Sophie also had to support a man who'd been innocently dragged into the original owner's mess. She had no choice but to hustle. She started live streaming, became a masked singer, and held concerts. At first, netizens were scornful: 【Tsk, how good can she possibly sound?】 Later, the netizens were forced to eat their words. 【Damn, that's so good I'm on my knees!】 【What the hell, the violent episode of my Disorder Period has actually been soothed?!】 【The toxins in my Spiritual Sea have actually been eliminated!】 Her live streams went viral, the masked singer became a huge sensation, and tickets for her concerts were snapped up across The Galaxy. Sophie was content, thinking, "This time, I must have finally escaped the original owner's fate, right?" But what do you know, the man I've been doting on and supporting is actually the Imperial Marshal?! --- One day, Yancey Forrest came home to find that the boisterous person who was always claiming to be good to him was gone. His eyes darkened. Provoke me and then think you can leave? After catching her, Yancey traced his fingertips along Sophie's neck, smiling gently. "Why run?" Sophie trembled. "You... you're the Imperial Marshal?" His identity exposed, Yancey Forrest took her hand and slowly placed it on his own neck ring. "You know I won't kill you, don't you?"
