Description
When the old beast Pixiu went out to throw away the garbage, a male ghost fell into his arms just after he finished categorizing the garbage. This male ghost was named Wen Xi, and he was as beautiful as a flower. Not only that, but he was also soft and cool to the touch, which meant he was perfect for Pixiu to use as an ice pillow. After all, Pixiu had been punished by the Heavens, and was doomed to endure insufferable hotness surging inside his body. Although Pixiu swore to the Heavens that he was only using the ghost as an ice pillow, no one believed him. Pixiu: “Even if the red thread of fate holds my body, my heart is that of a bachelor!” Wen Xi, who was sealed in a fermentation jar for hundreds of years, was finally released to the world…..only to find himself turned into a child-bride to pay off his debts. However, this “Husband” of his was also a self-employed beast, who had to pay taxes and repay loans every month. Wen Xi: “Is the other Pixiu as miserable as you are?” Although those two were a mess, they turned out to be a good match in the end. Even Yue Lao gave them a marriage interview. The only thing Pixiu knew to say was that finding a beautiful wife was fairly easy. You just have to be good at sorting through garbage. In other words: I picked up my wife in the garbage can.

My Thoughts on Pixiu Restaurant, No Way Out
Okay, so I stumbled upon "Pixiu Restaurant, No Way Out" after seeing the buzz around its manhua adaptation, and I'm definitely jumping on the bandwagon. This novel is a delightful mix of comedy, romance, and supernatural elements, all wrapped up in a modern setting with a strong dose of Chinese mythology.
First Impressions
The premise is just plain fun. We have Pixiu, a mythical beast down on his luck after being tricked by Taotie. To top it off, he's cursed with a body that constantly overheats when he gets angry. Enter Wen Xi, a ghost in an urn who conveniently provides a cooling effect. Their initial interactions are rocky, but the "cooling furnace" dynamic quickly evolves into something much more heartwarming, and I was instantly hooked.
What Works Well
The blend of genres is what really makes this novel shine. The comedic undertones are present throughout, creating a lighthearted atmosphere even when dealing with serious themes. The relationship between Pixiu and Wen Xi is a major draw; their bond grows organically, and their interactions are both fluffy and supportive. I especially appreciate how respectful and caring Pixiu is towards Wen Xi, it's a refreshing dynamic. The side characters are also fantastic, adding depth and humor to the story. From the adorable Lil Broom to the numerous side couples, there's never a dull moment. It really feels like a found family kind of story. The author does a great job weaving Chinese mythology into a modern setting, creating a unique and engaging world.
