my first novel by this author and i literally couldn't put it down bc these characters and their hilarious antics were so good!!!!! it has several horror/grotesque elements that are pretty intense, but this is without a doubt a laugh-out-loud story!
Lu Qingjiu (attuned to spirits, lover of all things fluffy, self-appointed ‘father' of all his residents, swears he has gong vibes but is actually the shou, plus pro chef my god the food p0rn in this book) returns to the countryside for ‘personal reasons,' only to encounter his future husband aka a good-looking fox(?) spirit Bai Yuehu who's always hungry, his childhood friend Yin Xun whose cooking and [redacted] causes intense diarrhea, a female ghost w luscious locks, 2 sassy lil piglets who help the kid next door solve math problems, and other strange animals/spirits coupled w some creepy happenings oOoooOOOo~
the romance is slow burn but when the sweet scenes come, they punch you right in the heart! also Yin Xun is the most precious child and must be protected
