Lan Xiaomao, the little owner of a pet shop, gets swept up in the transmigration craze and becomes a consort who can turn into a cat at any moment. She sparks a feline tug-of-war as soon as she arrives, then gets the emperor to hold a grand cat-selection ceremony. Wanting no part in the harem’s rivalries, she tries to flee whenever she sees the emperor. But before long, her escape lands her in his “trap.” She easily handles the harem rivalries and proves just as capable of rooting out corrupt officials and fighting villains. Before she knows it, she’s taken the throne as empress. Sitting there and swishing her dark blue tail, Lan Xiaomao decides this transmigration wasn’t so bad after all.
