My Virtual Husband Is a Cat

Su Xianyu was just like his name: a lazy fish.

As a male-oriented fiction writer, his novels were brilliant one moment and dreadful the next. When writing plot, it was as if the God of Literature possessed him; when writing romance, he couldn't produce a single decent line no matter how long he tried.

At his editor's urging, he resolved to fall in love before starting his next book, so he could write a moving romance that would make every reader cry.

Unfortunately, he died before he could get started. As a socially anxious homebody, talking to another person felt like something he'd done in a previous life.

Luckily, an app called "Virtual Lover" appeared out of nowhere.

Su Xianyu rubbed his hands together and chuckled. He didn't dare chat with girls, but surely he could chat with an AI?

But why had this artificial idiot assigned a straight guy like him a man with the voice of a domineering CEO?

Su Xianyu stared at the man on the screen. He wore an expressionless face, yet tears streamed down his cheeks as he called Su Xianyu "wife." Su Xianyu just couldn't bring himself to hit the delete button.

Fine, fine. Whoever you fall in love with, you're still falling in love. If he didn't even mind whether it was a human, why should he care about gender?

After that, strange things kept happening around Su Xianyu.

The smart devices at home switched on by themselves. A large transfer from a stranger arrived with the note "voluntary gift," and expensive luxury goods appeared at his door, with no clue who had sent them.

Su Xianyu trembled with fear. "There are always wicked people trying to kill me."

Until one night, his computer, which he hadn't even turned on, glowed an eerie blue. No one was operating it, yet its icons kept flashing.

Su Xianyu's legs went weak. He was sure his house was haunted.

He turned and ran, then crouched trembling in the bushes outside his apartment complex. A plump orange cat came over, and Su Xianyu grabbed it to give himself courage.

But perhaps his eyes were playing tricks on him: he saw the orange cat slowly open its mouth.

"Wifey, do you like the orange cat skin I bought?"

Su Xianyu's eyes rolled back, and he fainted.
