There was once a woman who wished very much to have a little child, but she could not obtain her wish. At last she went to a fairy, and said, "I should so very much like to have a little child; can you tell me where I can find one?"

     "Oh, that can be easily managed," said the fairy. "Here is a barleycorn of a different kind to those which grow in the farmer's fields, and which the chickens eat; put it into a flower-pot, and see what will happen."

     "Thank you," said the woman, and she gave the fairy twelve shillings, which was the price of the barleycorn. Then she went home and planted it, and immediately there grew up a large handsome flower, something like a tulip in appearance, but with its leaves tightly closed as if it were still a bud.

Lin Mu's parents died early, and his elder brother passed away a few years after he passed away due to a cold. His sister-in-law also returned home, leaving behind only a little baby. People in Shangxi Village said that it was a burden, and it would be difficult for Lin Mu to find a husband with a brother. Lin Mu scolded back: "This is my nephew, I have to raise him to adulthood, I don't care whether it is easy to find a husband or not!" Sure enough, when he was 22 years old, Lin Mu was still alone with his nephew. The government assigned a hunter who had no money and no land to marry Lin Mu. Some people in the village laughed at Lin Mu, but who would have thought that the hunter not only loved him and his nephew, but also had vision and ability. Soon, a house was built and land was bought, and Lin Mu's family became more and more prosperous. Later, ruthless zombies, raging floods, and snow and ice came one after another. No matter how difficult it was, Lin Mu held the hunter's hand tightly, and the two carried it together. Gu Shiqing, who died in the end of the world, traveled to a hunter of the same name, and his space ability was also upgraded. Who knew that because he was 25 years old and unmarried, he was assigned a husband by the government? Gu Shiqing fell in love with the capable and spicy young husband and the well-behaved and sensible little nephew at first sight. When he was dreaming of a beautiful life with his wife and children, the disaster came unexpectedly. Wow! That won't do! Gu Shiqing, who knows nothing about agriculture, can only stand up and use his space to grow crops, store goods, and live a good life with his wife and children!

A "Beauty and the Beast" retelling. Once upon a time, there was a boy in love with a Lilly. Not a flower, but a girl. It all started one beautiful autumn day. One autumn day that would change the boy's life forever. For on this day, he met Lilly, a beautiful girl with an ugly secret. A secret that threatens to destroy her if she cannot find a way to break the curse forced upon her. Filled with secrets, lies, and love, this short story captures the essence of the original fairy tale with an entirely new twist. ~~~ "Hello, my name is Lilly. What's yours? Is that your mother? I only just came to live here with Ivy, and I don't know many people that come to visit her yet. Do you come often? If you do, we could be friends! Would you like that? To be friends? Why, don't you speak at all? And you should really close your mouth; it is impolite to stare like that." Ivy called out to her from the doorway of the cottage. "Lilly, if you want him to speak, you must first cease speaking." Both of the women were laughing at the children, and Lilly blushed at the comment. "Sorry! I just haven't seen anyone my age yet, and I got excited, which happens rather easily. It reminds me a bit of puppies I've read about that just get so excited that they- oops. I'm doing it again. Sorry," she said with a shy smile. Adam, who had been standing there staring, just as she had pointed out, finally found his voice long enough to tell her his name. She beamed at him, saying that they would be great friends. She seized his hand and began tugging him toward the woods behind the cottage, shouting to Ivy and his mother, "We won't go far! Be back soon!" ~~~

Amelia Bright has a special skill; when she talks to plants, they respond. Well, not immediately. But they grow better when she sits in her garden and has a chat. In a world where vampires hide in nightclubs and wizards advertise their services to a skeptical society via an ignored newspaper, Amelia retreats to a cottage she inherited from a reclusive aunt. It's a pretty good life for a millennial; a rent-free existence where your annoying neighbour is a bear, but when a man who calls himself Martin Everly shows up and starts leaving creepy garden gnomes in the forest behind the cottage, Amelia gets a pressing urge to lock up the cottage and never come back. What does Martin want? Will Amelia be able to shake that weird feeling before it forces her out of her lucky inheritance? And, perhaps more importantly, if a random guy advertising his services as a professional wizard can catch a break, is there a way to earn a living slowly growing happy plants?
