A dragon lies beneath Taihu Lake.
It has slept for a thousand years, waiting not for an immortal, but for my wife.
Luo Xiaoyue looks like an ordinary housewife. She stays home, raises cats, and cooks. But none of the four cats by her side are ordinary: Mianhu, Yuanyuan, Pihu, and Xiaobudian. A thousand years ago, they were divine beasts who guarded the four directions, with icy eyes and golden pupils, snowy fur glowing with spiritual light, flames swirling around them, and shadows at their heels.
And my wife was the High Priestess.
A thousand years ago, she sacrificed her soul to save the people of an entire city and vanished into nothingness. I traded my military merits for her reincarnation, while the four divine beasts used a thousand years of cultivation to protect her remaining soul and made a vow:
In our next lives, we will still be your cats.
A thousand years later, they have become house cats, staying by her side every moment. Then the Dragon Lord awakens, and a pillar of purple light splits open Taihu Lake. The karma sealed away for a thousand years finally falls into place.
The grudges and passions of a past life give way to peace and companionship in this one.
This work is also known as The Legend of the Spirit Cats of Taihu. I hope you enjoy it.
