Description

Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.

The flower demon, Shao Zi, understands how to be grateful. She was taken in by the old innkeeper of the tavern, so she must spend the rest of her life guarding the tavern.

But when the new innkeeper took over, the normally peaceful tavern changed. One by one, demons, ghosts, and mortals with unfulfilled wishes came over to wreak havoc.

At first, Shao Zi tried her best to drive away these evildoers, but then she realized that every guest had their own hardships.

The most precious sentiments she’s ever experienced in the world came from these guests. By experiencing their pains along with their joys, she tasted an emotional satisfaction that she has never had in these five hundred years of life.

However, helping others always comes at a price. When she wavered over the notion of extending a helping hand for the sake of protecting the tavern from destruction, someone stood firmly by her side.

“You use your kindness to help others, I’ll use my strength to protect you.”

Read the first chapter and it's adorable with a lovely MC! Plus the translation quality from Fruitydeer is so good! It's clear the translator put in time and effort to make a good translation, I eagerly await more!

I normally don't leave a review so early but I felt like it was necessary. This is the novel's first day on the site and someone has already given it a one star rating. I just don't understand why people do this! I am furious on both the translator's and the author's behalf.... more>> Gave it a 5 star but tbh, its total rating should be much higher judging by the first chapter. The first reviewer totally dragged the rating down. <<less

What a lovely story so far! It has a calm, creamy, slice of life kind of feeling - a little joy, a little tragedy - that meshes well with the slow love story and the translator's style.

This is a story about a little peony demon named Shao Zi who lives in the backyard of an inn. It begins when the inn is bought out by a scholarly guy who Shao Zi disdains for being a terrible innkeeper, hijinks ensue. It's more or less divided up by arc; there are only... more>> 9 chapters in the story and each chapter is an arc that usually focuses on a guest at the inn. Some are happy, some sad, mostly bittersweet.

The romance and conclusion are all pretty obvious - the usual tale of an immortal chasing his waifu :) But with this kind of story it's the journey that counts and the journey is pretty strong. The only downside is that I wish the author had had better taste about that one drunk kissing scene, I didn't like that very much.

The best part is honestly the translation. Thank you to the translator! Your work is amazing.

In conclusion, this is a novel for a certain sort of mood. Save it for when you're curled up in your favourite chair with a blanket and a nice cup of chocolate and a blizzard roaring outside, and you won't regret it.

P.S. I don't know anything about raising peony demons, but I have a lot of peonies and this novel is the worst guide to peony watering ever. Let's all hope that peony demons have different water requirements. <<less

I'm not good with reviews- but I'm kinda disappointed that the reviews in this Novel are too few.
Funny, fluffy, emotional and cute!
