After experiencing a painful breakup, young office worker Lin Yu completely closed himself off, with his only companion being a cat named 'Pudding'. One ordinary morning, he found a strange girl with cat ears and a tail squatting in the kitchen, licking the pudding milk bowl - his cat turned into a human. This girl who calls herself Mia retains the innocence, curiosity and unreserved intimacy of a cat. Her appearance completely disrupts Lin Yu's stagnant life. Lin Yu's fear of intimacy made him subconsciously want to hide Mia, protect her, and protect himself from getting hurt. However, Mia is full of endless yearning for the "outside world". She longs for sunshine, crowds and unknown adventures. This yearning formed a fundamental conflict with Lin Yu's overprotective desire due to fear of loss. The deeper fear was that he didn't know whether Mia's life would be as short as a cat's. When he finally opens his heart again, is he destined to face a faster separation? In this relationship that was destined to be short-lived, how did Lin Yu transform from a "coward" who was afraid of losing to a "light picker" who knew how to cherish every moment, and finally understood that the meaning of love does not lie in eternity, but in every warm moment created together.
Reader comments
It's very heavy, very profound, very literary, and therefore true. It's not like Internet literature, but real literature. Those nightmares may really leave a lasting mark in his life. So I will still miss Mia. She left, but she didn't leave. Isn't everything so contradictory? Although this novel may have errors in details and obvious deficiencies, it is definitely a breath of fresh air when viewed today.
It's very real. It's uncomfortable to look at, but it feels more real than many books. I feel like Lin Yu and Mia at the same time... I feel helpless...
The process of walking out of the "balcony" was really depressing and painful, but luckily God sent Mia. When Lin Yu found out that Mia disappeared, I was so choked that I couldn't speak [crying]
It's very well written [love] and it's so painful to watch [I'm about to cry]
It's possible, but it's not very rigorous. At the beginning, I said I was asking for leave for 7 days, but then I didn't see the protagonist going to work [what]
