Hey, Someone Take Mimi Away

In modern society, spiritual energy is so scarce that Feifei, an ancient divine beast who dispels sorrow, can no longer maintain his original form. He shrinks from a big cat into a tiny kitten and ends up homeless on the streets.

After three people in one week carry him to a pet shop to get neutered, Feifei has a breakdown:

"No cut balls! Meow doesn't want them cut!!!"

Just then, a man walks by. Feifei can see that the man is plagued by bad luck but brimming with spiritual energy, while Feifei himself has natural good luck but no spiritual energy. They complement each other perfectly. They're practically made for each other!

Feifei immediately latches onto him, scrambling up his trouser leg and straight into his arms. He puts on his best sweet, innocent face: "Meow, meow~"

(Human, take me away! Meow doesn't want to get neutered~)

His voice is soft and sweet, the end of each meow lilting upward.

"..." The man freezes.

Has he gone crazy? He could swear he understood what the cat said.

Lou Yan finds a cat on the street, but he's so unlucky that even when he drinks water, it gets stuck between his teeth. He hadn't planned to keep the cat, but the little one clings to him.

For instance, at five in the morning, Lou Yan wakes up with the kitten sitting on his chest, sucking on him. "Meow~" (Suck, suck, suck!)

When Lou Yan goes shopping, the kitten crawls inside his clothes and hooks his claws into Lou Yan's abs, insisting on coming along. "Meow, meow!" (I'll keep sucking!)

When Lou Yan gets into the bathtub, the kitten stares at him. "Meow, meow, meow." (Let's bathe together! I want to suck some more.)

In the end, they take a bath together, and the kitten splashes water all over him.

Lou Yan thinks: The kitten is absolutely devoted to him, even if he's a bit of a chatterbox.

Later, Lou Yan is invited to appear on a variety show about everyday life.

On the day the show starts streaming, the celebrities in everyone else's rooms are already working the cameras. Only movie star Lou Yan's room is empty. His haters are just about to start attacking him.

Then a plump, snowy-white cat, groomed until his fur shines, strolls into view. He flicks his long tail and begins to lick his fur at his leisure.

The comments instantly erupt: [Awwww, baby, you're such a cute little puff pastry!]

Once the show gets underway, a jerk keeps stealing Lou Yan's camera time. Feifei swipes at him with a paw. "Meow, meow, meow!"

(Don't bully my human!)

Lou Yan looks at the comments, afraid Feifei will get scolded. Instead, the comments flood the screen:

[What kind of decent person would get scratched by such a good kitty?!] [The director should kick the camera hog off the show!]

At the end of the episode, it's time to vote for the guests. The other guests try all sorts of ways to get votes, while Feifei just curls up in Lou Yan's arms and gives a single meow. His votes shoot up.

Comments: [There's no way we're letting the kitty lose!]

Feifei becomes an overnight sensation, gaining fans all over the internet. Lou Yan's popularity rises right along with his.

Ever since his debut, people have misunderstood him and disliked him no matter what he does. Lou Yan is stunned. "..."

After that, everything just keeps getting better... Lou Yan's biased family members are plagued by misfortune, his rival falls into a ditch while filming, the shows that were once shelved finally air, and his old hit dramas return to the public eye. Even his biggest haters are mysteriously dealt with.

Meanwhile, our divine beast Feifei, the kitten who dispels sorrow, keeps his good deeds hidden and plays games on his human's phone. After losing three rounds in a row because his paws aren't up to the job, the furious kitten throws the phone down.

"Meow, meow, meow!"

Darn humans, fighting dirty!

Watching the kitten throw punches at thin air, Lou Yan silently tops up his account with another big payment.

Until one day, Lou Yan falls seriously ill and remains unconscious. The kitten sniffs him constantly. A few seconds later, Lou Yan feels a young man climb onto his limbs, a fluffy tail curling around his waist. The young man says with a deeply worried frown:

"Lou Yan, don't die..."

It's all his fault for sucking up Lou Yan's spiritual energy until Lou Yan was completely drained.

Lou Yan, pretending to sleep: !!!

Reader's guide:

1. Feifei is a divine beast, shaped like a wildcat, with a white tail and a gentle temperament. In this story's version, after shrinking down, he's an evil little white steamed bun. Adorable.

2. An unlucky man and a lucky kitty. There will be a human-transformation plot later, with a size difference.

3. The blurb needs editing. The livestreaming will definitely be in the story; the entertainment-industry plot is still undecided.
