    The animal story is very engaging and not at all far-fetched. A little male cat mutated in the apocalypse. It learned to talk, learned a lot, and got to know many humans, all in order to find its owner.

    While others transmigrate into human form, Xu Qiaoqiao is different; every time she transmigrates, she's not human. The first time, she transmigrates into a rabbit. Luckily, it's a cultivation world, giving her a chance to become human again. So she embarks on her journey, and by chance, she teams up with a big gray wolf. As a result, she ends up with a big gray wolf. A rabbit and a big gray wolf together. Xu Qiaoqiao: This setup is pretty absurd. The second time, she transmigrates into a white hedgehog, but who would have thought that after only a few days, she'd be spotted and kidnapped by a natural enemy. And then, can someone tell her why this owl keeps feeding her beak-to-beak? You can't take care of a cub like that! Xu Qiaoqiao: So, I'm with my natural enemy again. The third time, she transmigrates into a rare spiritual herb, and there's a spirit beast that's particularly coveting it... Xu Qiaoqiao: Okay, okay, I can guess the ending. No need to continue. The fourth time she transmigrated... The fifth time... Each time, Xu Qiaoqiao was targeted by her natural enemy. First, they would feed her to numb her mind, and finally tear her apart and devour her completely. Xu Qiaoqiao: ... That's pretty outrageous.
