The Kitty Cat Apocalypse Shop

[The theatrical human x the cat with very sharp claws] Damn it all, the moment Bai Jinxi opened her eyes, she had transmigrated to this godforsaken place. After finally escaping the zombies and reaching the safe house mentioned by the System, she discovered that it was a storage room piled high with trash. The System harrumphed: Don't underestimate this storage room. It is the foundation of your becoming the God of Shops! Bai Jinxi endured it. For the sake of a better life in the future, she worked tirelessly, tidying everything and cleaning it spotless. Then, just after she finished, a small cat paw stepped in without the slightest courtesy. Bai Jinxi: I just mopped that floor! The human and cat stared at each other. The cat was pure white from head to tail, with smooth long fur and an elegant bearing. It shook its body, sprang onto the counter, cast Bai Jinxi a sidelong glance, and licked its paw. Bai Jinxi: ... Stock goods, organize goods, sell goods. If you learn these three things, congratulations, you can open a shop. Bai Jinxi: Yes, yes, sure. Then why don't you mention that stocking means searching the wasteland and digging goods out of dead people's pockets? Searching for supplies in this dangerous post-apocalyptic world and placing them on her shelves to sell was the task the System had given Bai Jinxi. But Bai Jinxi looked at the cat crouched on the shelf, lazily stretching its long legs... Taking care of a cat did not seem to be part of the task, did it? Bai Jinxi reached out to pet it, but the cat blocked her hand with a swipe. It was fine. It was normal for a kitten to have a temper. Bai Jinxi huffed and puffed as she hung a crookedly lettered sign over the shop: Cat Brand Apocalypse Store. It was officially open! During the days she ran the shop, she had the cat for company. Even though it had a terrible temper and refused to let her get close, that was all right. The cat was bad, but she was good. Bai Jinxi would be the one to stick herself to it. But one day, the cat was no longer reserved. It raised its tail and wrapped it around her calf, arched its body slightly, and rubbed against her again and again... Bai Jinxi anxiously asked the System: Oh no, how do you spay a female cat in this world? The cat clawed Bai Jinxi's face, then turned and walked away. At night, Bai Jinxi lay peacefully in bed. The cat had cooled off and obediently curled up in her arms. Apart from having trouble breathing, everything was fine. Wait, why did she feel heavier and heavier? Bai Jinxi suddenly awoke. A white-haired woman was lying on top of her, and her hand touched a pair of furry ears. Bai Jinxi: Aaaah! Turn back into a cat for me! Cat: ? Reader advisory: 1. The cat will become human. 2. Post-apocalyptic farming, shopkeeping, and business management. The overall tone is light and comedic and should not be too heavy. 3. There is a very powerful golden finger. Advance reservation: The Deposed Heir's Rebellion Plan. Please add it to your collection. Blurb: [Scatterbrained, funny attacker x hardworking, capable, exceptionally gentle and resilient mute receiver] What is it like to transmigrate as the crown heir of the current dynasty? When Li Zhaoxi listened to the sign-in System describe her new identity, she thought she was about to begin a wonderful new life. At last, she would not have to endure the miserable routine of working, overtime, going to work, and overtime! Then she opened her eyes and found herself lying soaking wet beside a stream. Her gains were: one thatched cottage, one deposed crown-heir position, and one wife. Li Zhaoxi froze. Wait, why was there also a wife?! The current dynasty was notorious for murderous struggles over the throne. The present emperor was already over fifty, and the original owner had been crown heir for twelve years. However, despite the empress mother's abundant grace, the original owner had held the position for a long time without being favored. With her deposition imminent, the original owner decided to strike first and force the empress mother to abdicate. Her subordinates betrayed her at the critical moment, selling the information to her younger sister, the Third Princess. After her rebellion failed, the original owner was deposed and exiled three thousand miles away. On the road, she was rescued by an unknown mysterious person. The mysterious person had already arranged a new identity for her and given her money. Afraid she could not care for herself, they even rescued a mute woman named Chen Shan to serve as the original owner's wife and look after her. Although the original owner was saved, her failed rebellion left her utterly dispirited. It was hard to adjust from luxury to poverty. Unable to adapt to life as a commoner, she used the money to drink and gamble, repeatedly attacking Chen Shan. Sometimes she cursed her, sometimes she beat her, bullying her at will. Chen Shan was terrified of her, but because she wanted to repay her kindness, she forced herself to keep caring for her. Finally, one day, the original owner fell into the water while drunk and died. Li Zhaoxi: Good riddance! System: Haha, Host, in Chen Shan's eyes, you are the original owner now. Li Zhaoxi: ? The sign-in System gave the transmigrated Li Zhaoxi two requirements: First, thirty years east of the river, thirty years west! Take back everything that belongs to you! Second, take good care of your wife! Li Zhaoxi's head filled with question marks: Rebel? Me? But when she saw Chen Shan, unable to speak and repeatedly abused yet still determined to maintain their life together, finding ways to earn money whenever they had none and working everywhere before returning to care for her, her body covered in injuries from labor, hiding in the corner of the room to avoid her and silently applying herbs while drinking cold water to fill her stomach, Li Zhaoxi gritted her teeth and chose to sign in for the first time. So what if it was rebellion? Then rebel! System: Beep! Congratulations, Host, you have successfully signed in and received two cabbages~ Li Zhaoxi carried the cabbages to Chen Shan: Wife, I am going to give you a good life! Chen Shan did not know how the woman who had always been violent had suddenly changed. When Chen Shan was injured, Li Zhaoxi worried desperately and cared for her without leaving her side. When Chen Shan was bullied, Li Zhaoxi fought with everything she had until the other party knelt and begged for mercy. Their lives grew better and better. At some point, their benefactor truly became their wife. Chen Shan had thought they would continue supporting each other and live their small life together forever. But one day, Li Zhaoxi had to leave. Before departing, she handed Chen Shan all the money, house deed, and land deed, saying that she hoped Chen Shan would find a better home while she went to join the rebel army. Chen Shan hugged her tightly. Li Zhaoxi turned back in silence to look at her tearful wife. In her panic, Chen Shan was still gesturing the sign language Li Zhaoxi had taught her: "Don't leave me... Am I not your accomplice?" Theme: A life of plenty brings more happiness than mutual destruction.
