Lin Xiaomiao, the owner of a cat cafe, transmigrates after an accident while saving a child. When she wakes, she has become a gray cat with an injured hind leg. Even more absurdly, this is a world where people cultivate immortality, and the rarest spiritual root in ten thousand years, the Chaos Spiritual Root, has awakened within her.
Branded a “good-for-nothing cat,” she sneaks into Qingyun Sect and settles in a dilapidated woodshed. By day, she mooches dried fish from Aunt Zhang, gets chased around by Su Tang, the sect leader's daughter, who can't stop petting her, and deals with Xiao An, a timid little girl with two braids who is always offering her grasshoppers woven from straw. At night, she secretly cultivates beside the glowing Spirit-Gathering Grass in the corner.
But every full moon, she catches a glimpse of a gray-robed figure beneath the old locust tree in the distance: Shen Che, the eldest senior brother of the outer sect. He's as cold as ice, yet always appears when she's in danger. He once drove off the burly men chasing her with nothing but a look, quietly brought her buns late at night, and even shielded her in his arms when she was trapped by demonic beasts in the back mountain.
As the stone gate to the ruins in the back mountain slowly opens, she discovers that Aunt Zhang's daughter A Xiu, missing for ten years; Xiao An's true origins; Old Zhou's hidden secrets; and the truth behind her Chaos Spiritual Root all point in the same direction.
Watch this clingy, easily ruffled little cat claw her way from the woodshed to the top, uncover the secrets of the ancient ruins, and win over her ice-cold senior brother along the way.
It looks good. .
