After a fierce battle with a nightmare beast, Qiao Hua, a three-hundred-year-old calico cat demon, was gravely injured. Her demonic powers scattered, and she turned into a calico cat, hiding in a basement garage to recover. Passing actor He Qingyu happened to find her and take her home. He carefully looked after the injured little cat, unaware that he had taken in a great demon with a century of cultivation.
Once she recovered, Qiao Hua took human form and confessed that she was a cat demon, completely upending He Qingyu’s understanding of the world. The two began an absurd yet heartwarming life together: Qiao Hua declared herself the leader of the Sacred Flame Meow Meow Cult, and classified He Qingyu and his Samoyed, Xueqiu, as members of the Woof Woof Cult’s family. He Qingyu became her personal caretaker, responsible for her daily needs, finding medicine, and cleaning up after her.
To help He Qingyu build up his health and live longer, Qiao Hua gave him a prescription for rare spirit medicines. He searched far and wide for the ingredients, even traveling to Kunlun to gather herbs. The national department for managing anomalous phenomena came to register her, and Qiao Hua received legal residency while He Qingyu became her official guardian. Qiao Hua joined He Qingyu on set for a cameo and unexpectedly became famous for her cool, ethereal beauty, but a crowd of fans at the airport frightened her and caused a commotion.
She used her supernatural ability to cross great distances in a single step, taking He Qingyu instantly to the grasslands and even all the way to Africa. She also gave him the ability to understand animal speech. At the zoo, she cowed the beasts and awakened the pandas’ intelligence, while taking in strays to grow her “congregation.”
As they spent their days together, Qiao Hua let go of her aloofness and grew accustomed to the warmth of human life, while He Qingyu fully accepted the world of demons. Crossing the boundary between humans and demons, the two weathered trials, upheavals, and strange adventures, accompanied by one dog and two cats. They went from strangers sharing a home to a family devoted to protecting each other, living out a lighthearted, funny, and heartwarming fantasy of everyday life between different species.
