A Stay-at-home Dad's Restaurant In An Alternate World
In Chaos City on the Norland Continent, there is a strange restaurant.
Here, elves and dwarves share tables. Beastmen are prohibited from making a din, and giant dragons can only seat around the tiny square in front of the restaurant. Even demons have to bring their own stools…
But it is such a strange restaurant that has long lines outside every day.
Elves are stuffing kebabs, paying no mind to their manners; giant dragons are sitting around a hot pot, strainers in their hands; demons are eating nice-looking dango…
"There's no other place on this continent where you can find food like that! The boss here is a genius!" a customer provides such a review. Then, he gives a furtive look at the door. "Also, don't you think of kidnapping the boss away or dine-and-dashing, or you will suffer a tragic death."
"Eat, pay, or you will be beaten to death." says a cute little girl in her childish voice as she trots forward. A five-meter tall dragon shivers when it meets her eyes.

# familyfeud #daughterofamistress #koi
Qiao Xuan, daughter of a county magistrate, supposedly had a fiance that everyone envied. But then her father’s legal wife schemed against her, and married her into a farmer’s family. On the night of her wedding, after seeing how shabby her room was, Qiao Xuan hung herself. When she opened her eyes again, a different Qiao Xuan had transmigrated onto this body.
The new Qiao Xuan stared at her husband and frowned after seeing how shabby the house looked. “Don’t worry. I know that you didn’t want to marry me, so I won’t touch you. I’ll apply for a divorce tomorrow and give you back your freedom.” But wait, Qiao Xuan hadn’t figured out what was going on yet! She couldn’t get a divorce, or else her father’s legal wife wouldn’t forgive her. Also, she was a woman of a different world and possessed special powers. Couldn’t she just build a business from here?
So it was decided. Qiao Xuan began assisting her husband and slapped the faces of all who wronged them. They kept leveling up, and went from being a poor farmer’s family to becoming the richest family in the area. Those who bullied her regretted their actions, and her husband had regrets too. “I never said I wanted to divorce you.” Qiao Xuan was perplexed when he was pressing her down on the bed.

I Stayed At Home For A Century, When I Emerged I Was Invincible

Chu Xuan declared, “No one can make me leave my home. I like being a shut-in!”
Alfred Hitchcock influenced the stories in the book greatly. His unique style of creating suspense was a major factor. He knew how to build tension bit by bit, like in his films, and this was carried over into the stories. For example, he might use ordinary settings but make them seem menacing.
The 'Rebecca' by Alfred Hitchcock is also quite famous. It tells a complex story of a young woman who marries a wealthy widower. The mystery and psychological drama in the novel are very engaging. Hitchcock was able to bring out the unease and mystery in the story very well when he adapted it into a movie.
Alfred Hitchcock's life story is one of cinematic genius. He was a pioneer in the art of filmmaking. His upbringing in England influenced his early works which had a distinct British flavor. As he transitioned to Hollywood, he blended his European sensibilities with American filmmaking. In 'North by Northwest', he created a high - octane thriller with Cary Grant. Hitchcock's ability to build suspense gradually, like in the famous shower scene in 'Psycho', made him stand out. His body of work not only entertained but also made people think about the darker aspects of human nature.
Another work that might be considered among his best in terms of the associated story is 'Vertigo'. The complex relationship and the mystery in the story, which was masterfully translated to the screen, made it a classic. It had elements of obsession, mystery and psychological depth.
If you prefer something with a bit more of a gothic feel, then 'Rebecca' is a great choice. It has a lot of atmosphere and character development. You get to explore the relationship between the main characters and the secrets that lurk within the grand estate. It's a novel that really makes you think and feel for the characters.
I think 'Rear Window' is also a great short story. It's about a man who spies on his neighbors from his rear window and starts to suspect something sinister is going on. Hitchcock was brilliant in exploring the human psyche through such a simple concept.
In 'The Birds', there are the unnamed family members who are the central characters. They are just ordinary people living their lives until the strange behavior of the birds starts to disrupt everything. We see how they react to the increasing threat from the birds, which shows their different personalities - some are more panicked, while others try to be more rational.
The themes in Alfred Hitchcock short stories are quite diverse. Suspense, as we all know, is a big part of it. He builds up the tension so well that you can't help but keep reading. Then there's the theme of deception. Characters might be deceiving each other or themselves. There's also the theme of the macabre. Some of his stories touch on the darker and more grotesque aspects of human nature and situations, which adds to the overall allure of his short stories.
