I Want to Slack Off at the Demon Bureau
After three years of struggling in the big city, Chu Zhishui finally managed to save enough money to buy a home. However, she discovered that she was the only human in her new workplace?
Chu Zhishui: Are even supernatural creatures seeking stable jobs with iron rice bowls now?
–
In the office, Chu Zhishui gradually adapted to working at the supernatural bureau. Despite her diligence and dedication, she couldn’t escape the gossip and social niceties of a small town, facing the enthusiastic attention of the matchmaking department head.
Supernatural Department Head: “Little Chu, you’re doing so well at work. Have you considered settling down and starting a family? Let me set you up with someone. Do you have any requirements?”
Chu Zhishui silently recited the mantra of singlehood in her mind, but not wanting to dampen the mood, she decided to be deliberately demanding: “I don’t ask for much in a partner. Just someone good-looking, filial to my parents, capable of doing housework, and able to earn money to support the family…”
The supernatural department head replied readily: “Great, I’ll find someone for you!”
Chu Zhishui steeled herself and added with gritted teeth: “…and they must be able to bear children!”
Just as she thought the department head would give up, the other party had a sudden realization: “The one in your office can bear children! Why don’t you just admit you like him?”
Chu Zhishui: ???

Chu Zhishui: I thought I could slack off at my job in the supernatural bureau, but it turns out that was just wishful thinking.
My Mother-in-Law is Reborn [Seventies]
On her wedding night, Mingmei had a dream.
She dreamed of a “Book of Life”.
And the protagonist of this book was her mother-in-law, who would bump her head and faint the next morning, only to wake up reborn.
Apparently, her mother-in-law had returned from fifty years in the future. She had witnessed the changes of the era and experienced social development. With this rebirth, she intended to ride the wave of the times, work hard, and lead the whole family towards glory. (Take this with a grain of salt)
Of course,
Along the way, she planned to reform the little troublemakers in the family, deal with the big troublemakers in the courtyard house, and let them feel the iron fist of justice as a side task. (This part is true)
Mingmei, the young daughter-in-law who had vaguely heard herself described as “a lazy, gluttonous, good-for-nothing”, bit her blanket and whimpered.
What should she do?
Bang!
A sound came from the outer room.
Mingmei: Here it comes! Her mother-in-law has been reborn!
