Synopsis:
My name is Yu Mao. I'm twenty-two years old.
They say cats have nine lives.
But each life is too short, and I have only one tail left.
So there's something I have to do.
I have to see that person one more time.
Her name is Nan Chang Geng. She's thirty-four years old. She was once a music prodigy adored by all, but now she's a washed-up star burdened with debt, reduced to appearing on third-rate variety shows.
And me... I'm the strangest contestant on the show, and the person she should stay farthest away from.
I appear before her on this program as a “devoted fan.”
I don't know how to get close to her.
She likes cute, sweet girls, but I'm not someone people like. Quite the opposite: I'm too cold, too antisocial, often frightening, and always irritating.
Of course she keeps her distance from me.
Until every one of my strange behaviors is captured on camera and, unexpectedly, attracts some fans.
They follow me, edit together footage of me suffering so much when she cries that I get stomach cramps, and send it to the top of the trending topics.
#Nan Chang Geng made a fan cry until she threw up
What an absurd trending topic. I hate it, but it becomes the first bridge that brings Nan Chang Geng closer to me of her own accord.
Chang Geng, Chang Geng.
I love it when you hold me and whisper to me in a voice that sounds both sad and content:
“Kitty, you're so empty that all you have left is love.”
*Primarily a romance, not a typical entertainment-industry variety-show story. The plot serves the romance, and the competition receives little attention.
*Set in a fictional world, so don't relate it to reality. Some technology is slightly more advanced than modern technology, with a few supernatural elements.
*Yu Mao's feelings are extremely intense and unusual, and her personality is pathological, though there is no mutual abuse. Readers who can't accept a protagonist with little agency should take care.
*Both characters have serious flaws, but complement each other.
*This is a prequel to I Became a Savior by Devouring Ghosts. The romance can be read on its own, while the mysteries surrounding the setting's supernatural elements will be addressed in the other book.
The timeline of I Became a Savior by Devouring Ghosts picks up after this story. It is currently updating.
Theme: Even imperfect love is still love
Long time no see, I came to read it. The first half of this book is about the entertainment industry. It's hilarious and top-notch. I like the first part better. Author, you are really suitable for designing variety show plots in the entertainment industry. I am just a fan of you. Come on.
This book is so good. It's really good. It's a masterpiece. It's pierced my heart.
Don't make Chang Geng happy to death
Such strong emotions, I couldn't help but shed tears while watching it
I'm so scared, Maomao, please don't let Chang Geng down!
Ha, I can't stand even a little bit of bondage. You are really a good match for cats!
Forced to take the initiative to go there, woo woo woo
How can this run? It can't run away, and it can't be blocked. I can check the ticket purchase information and everything accurately.
I'm stuck here, so anxious.
Ahhhhh, why did my little couple start to suffer even after just a few sweet episodes!!
