My name is Hong Mao. I'm an ordinary person living in Qixia Town. Every morning when I wake up, I have to recite the rules written on the wall: [Keeping cats is strictly forbidden] and [Remember, you are not a cat]. I do my best to follow them, until the day I spot a patch of snowy-white fur peeking out beneath the hem of Lan Tu, the mistress of the Jade Toad Palace's dress. We silently pretend everything is normal, but in the dead of night she asks me to meet her in the forbidden bamboo forest, leaving me with one strange instruction: “Don't bring anyone, including yourself.” That same day, a voice rings out in my mind: [Ding! The Host's beliefs are wavering. The Hero Returns System has been activated! Beginner's mission: Drink the forbidden water on the lotus leaf!]
The subject matter is good, but it feels awkward to read, especially Chapter Fifteen, where a True Yang Fire Seed suddenly appears.
