A naive fox and a cunning tiger, tangled in a dangerous game of secrets—Sohwa and Dohwi’s thrillingly seductive cohabitation! Sohwa, a red fox half-beast born with rare white fur, was shunned by her pack and forced to live a lonely, solitary life. Her days were filled with quiet isolation until one fateful day, while wandering the mountains, she stumbled upon Dohwi, an abandoned wildcat cub on the brink of death. Moved by compassion, she decided to take him in. “We’re different species, so we won’t go into heat with each other. You’re gentle and kind, so living together should be fine. What do you think?” And so begins their life together. But the “wildcat” Sohwa rescued turns out to be anything but ordinary. Dohwi is no mere feline—he’s a tiger reborn after a thousand years, hiding a ferocious side that Sohwa never saw coming. Terrified that Sohwa might abandon him if she learns the truth, Dohwi does everything in his power to conceal his identity. Yet, as time passes, Sohwa begins to sense that Dohwi is hiding something. When she starts showing signs of fear and attempts to flee, Dohwi begins scheming to keep her by his side. “You’re all I have, Sohwa. You know that.” Who will win this battle of wills—Dohwi, determined to keep Sohwa close, or Sohwa, desperate to escape the tiger’s grasp? #Romance #Sexual #Fantasy #Comedy #Romanticcomedy #Anthropomorph #Obsessive Text copyright ⓒ 2024 by MaCherie All right reserved.

Zhao Hai was a shut-in until he was transmigrated to another world with a farm and taken over the body of a fallen noble. The land that the noble had was one that could not grow anything. He also had a fiance who was the heir to a principality. To make matters even worse, he was talentless in martial arts and magic where he couldn’t even learn both. “So what if I can’t do magic? I have my farm. Let’s see you try and attack me! I’ll let my bugs out to devour all of your military rations! I’ll put pesticides in your water source and grow weeds on your land! Let’s see you try and attack me after that!” “What? You’ll hire assassins to kill me? Try and do that when I’m hiding inside my farmhouse. Once that is over, I’ll rid your country of all your food sources! Your citizens will come after you instead of you coming after me!” The shut-in had a slightly foul personality. This is a story of how he, and his farm, became a nightmare to the people of a world of swords and magic.

To secure his survival and amass wealth, he is compelled to participate in major events, gaining even greater power and fortune along the way.
