Reborn as a Rat, I Help the Empress Rise by Devouring

After being reborn, Su Qingyao only wants to practice martial arts in peace, but the school rules force her to form a contract with a spirit beast. While everyone else summons dragons and phoenixes, she summons a half-bald mouse that’s nearly starved to death. The whole school bursts out laughing. “What can that mouse even do? Crack sunflower seeds for the cafeteria?” Watching the mouse secretly gnaw on the legs of her alloy bed, Su Qingyao falls into deep thought: Could an ordinary mouse’s teeth really chew through titanium steel? Later, the mouse gets more and more outrageous: It uses the school bully’s hellhound as a chew toy, the school beauty’s phoenix as a grooming brush, and the principal’s guardian beast as a scratching post. Then the gods from beyond the stars descend, intent on destroying the world. As all humanity despairs, the mouse on Su Qingyao’s shoulder suddenly jumps down and flips the gods off with its paw. “So you’re the god everyone’s been talking about?” “My mistress says you’re tonight’s extra meal.” That day, Su Qingyao finally admitted the truth: The creature she contracted might not be a mouse at all, but some gluttonous ancestor who had starved to death in a past life.
