Eunuch Gu Is as Beautiful as a Melon [Cat Lover]

[Fresh Copy] :

Professor Tang Xiaoxian and entertainer Gu Huaiyin have a furry child, a big, chubby orange cat named Gu Juju.

Gu Huaiyin has had terrible luck. Ever since he fell from the ranks of first-tier stars, his career has barely advanced, even though he is handsome, talented, and thoughtful (scratch that).

One day, their chubby orange cat caught the eye of a famous director. It got the stage name Eunuch Gu and appeared on a highly anticipated variety show. From then on, it soared to success!

Eunuch Gu, winning over millions of fans with a flick of its paw! Eunuch Gu, making it into the ranks of top-tier stars with ease!

Gu Huaiyin: I'm a little jealous.

Jealous of what, exactly?

Tang Xiaoxian waved a hand and brought her boyfriend over to the chubby orange cat. "Juju, your dad is in your hands now."

And so, while the big orange cat won over fans, it also boosted its dad's fame along the way. Before long, its dad was getting offers for good projects.

The kid could not only support the family but also give back to it. Gu Huaiyin was delighted. Then he turned around, cut most of the big orange cat's treats, and signed it up for pet fitness classes to help the kid lose weight.

Gu Juju: ??? Meow?!!!

[Old Copy]:

Three protagonists: an extraordinarily talented, jealous orange cat x a third-tier male star fluent in cat language x a heroine on her way to becoming a master of classical Chinese studies. The story mainly revolves around variety shows in the entertainment industry, with a silly, lighthearted tone.

I have a cat, delicate and soft, easy to knock over.

I have a cat, plump and sturdy, enough to crush the bed.

I have a cat, with a face as big as a basin and a cute girly voice.

I have a cat, with millions of fans, busy supporting the family.

Eunuch Gu never plays by the rules.

The male lead, Gu Huaiyin, is a handsome young man with a fresh, refined air, a former heartthrob who fell from first-tier to third-tier status for reasons of his own.

The female lead, Tang Xiaoxian, is a stunning beauty with an exceptional presence, a prospective master of classical Chinese studies, and a miserable cat servant whom cats can't stand.

This is the story of a chubby orange cat leading its humans to make it big, with chaos and hilarity along the way, and reach the peak of life.

[Blurb]

The complete manuscript is drafted, with 110,000 words currently saved. I'm in a very bad state and struggling to write. Note posted 2024.8.27.

◆◆◆ Please note: Readers who require immaculate characters should stay away. There are so many landmines I don't even know how to list them. The first three chapters bring all the major shocks at once, so proceed with caution! ◆◆◆

Some people can never truly be tamed, even in hell.

[Young Master Ning, renowned throughout the Nine Continents, is the most beautiful person in the world. His beauty is so rare that people become obsessed and yearn for him.]

For the first thirty years of his life, Ning Wuqi had everything go his way, shaping his bright and carefree personality. He had exceptional talent and astonishing insight, and before turning thirty, he had risen to the top of the list of young prodigies.

Such a heaven-blessed genius was naturally proud and unyielding.

Then, in one fell swoop, disaster struck. His sect was destroyed, his cultivation was crippled, and he was subjected to castration. The agile sword cultivator was bound by layers of restrictions, unable to die, and trained into a frail concubine.

For the next seventeen years, the once-favored child of heaven endured every kind of humiliation.

The Ning Wuqi of the past was a brilliant sword cultivator adored by the entire cultivation world, with countless followers.

The Ning Wuqi of today was a lowly plaything anyone could bully. His followers had only increased, though they had changed in nature.

People were both obsessed with and scornful of him. They coveted his appearance while looking down on his wretched state, dragged through the dirt.

The powerful senior who had guided him in cultivation claimed to admire his talent, yet personally shattered his pride and sent him into the abyss.

The daughter of the Venerable who loved him repeatedly reopened his wounds and destroyed his self-respect.

His former admirers rejoiced to see the moon that once hung in the heavens fall to earth. They put on displays of deep affection even as they degraded him.

A friend of his master, a powerful cultivator who had nearly ascended, always tried to find the shadow of Ning Wuqi's master in him. But after falling into misfortune, his temperament had changed, and he was no longer the Ning Wuqi of old. The great cultivator grew more and more disgusted with him.

"You are not worthy of being her disciple."

With no way to live and no way to die, Ning Wuqi forced himself to endure for seventeen years. At last, after fulfilling a long-held wish, he shattered like jade in a single night.

[It is said that Ning Wuqi forcibly opened the ghost city of the dead, releasing a hundred thousand wronged souls. The Heavenly Dao struck him down, body and soul destroyed.]

The irony was that, after news of his death spread, those people all became lovesick, desperately hoping to bring him back to life.

-- Original scum gong's point of view --

As a Venerable on the verge of ascension, Xiao Jin had only two concerns: ensuring his family would remain glorious after his ascension, and honoring a bet with a friend by creating the most beautiful person in the world.

On an unexpected journey, he encountered a beauty rarely seen in this world. The child had exceptional potential and, without any refinement, already surpassed countless beauties. But it wasn't enough. What he wanted was someone more beautiful than anyone else in the world.

And so he began a long, elaborate plan.

He helped the child embark on the path of cultivation, rescuing him many times. The child was grateful to him, and whenever they met, his smile was especially sweet.

Later, the time came to close the net. The child fell into misfortune, and Xiao Jin rescued him once again. This time, instead of leaving with a sweep of his sleeve, he took him back to the Xiao family.

With the beauty trapped, the kind and dependable senior finally revealed his sinister true nature. Using the cruelest methods, he crushed the child's pride and sculpted him into a beauty without equal.

From then on, cultivators seeking the most beautiful person in the world came in an endless stream. Someone was always arriving with a treasure in hand, just to catch a glimpse of the beauty.

The resources needed to preserve the Xiao family's legacy were secured, and so was the most beautiful person in the world.

Later, Xiao Jin became more and more deeply involved. He no longer wanted to torment the beauty. He planned to take him as his Dao companion and share the path to eternal life with him.

Becoming the Venerable's consort was an honor countless people could only dream of, but the beauty would rather have his soul destroyed than forgive him.

The power of the Heavenly Tribulation was terrifying. Even someone like him, on the verge of ascension, could not escape unscathed.

He did everything in his power to save him, but the person who had once loved and depended on him never came back.

-- Ending gong's point of view --

Chu Ying was a mortal, without spiritual roots for cultivation, yet he was an emperor. Drawing on the knowledge of history he had learned in modern civilization in his previous life, he ruled for more than twenty years, becoming a wise ruler and setting out on the path to becoming a sage through accumulated merit.

But he ran into a problem on the road to sagehood. No matter what he tried, he could not get past that final obstacle, and he had no idea what to do.

Until one day, he found a gravely wounded beauty of incomparable loveliness.

Compared with this beauty, every beauty he had ever seen in either life seemed dull.

But this beauty was also the most lowly eunuch in the world. A flawless piece of jade with a blemish, he could not even bring himself to face his own mutilation.

When he accidentally glimpsed the beauty's heartbreaking past, he suddenly realized that this person might be the breakthrough he needed to become a sage. So he helped him along the way.

No matter how beautiful the man was, he was nothing more than a stepping stone to the summit. At most... once Chu Ying had succeeded, he could grant him a title and make him his wife.

He was ambitious, determined to carve a bloody path through cultivation. In pursuit of his ideals, he would kill any god or Buddha who stood in his way.

At first, he settled the beauty in the palace and helped him for his own sake. Later, he helped the beauty as well as himself. Then he became more and more deeply involved, until he could no longer treat the beauty as a tool for attaining sagehood.

One snowy day, the beauty stood quietly beneath the eaves, gazing beyond the courtyard wall. Chu Ying followed his gaze and saw a red plum branch reaching in from outside the wall, its blossoms vivid and alive. It was a vitality utterly unlike the beauty, who seemed shrouded in decay.

Chu Ying's heart was suddenly struck. He wanted to pull the man into his arms, protect him and help him return to the place where he truly belonged: the vast, boundless world.

* Please note: The gong is a virgin, the shou is not. The ending is 1v1 and could be considered a happy ending (in any case, it isn't a bad ending).

* The gong does not change. The scum gong is not redeemed. This is a crematorium, the kind where his ashes are scattered, the kind where he's thoroughly dead! Only after being reincarnated and becoming a new person does he get a chance at a happy ending!

The original gong and the ending gong are reincarnations of one another, the same soul. The original gong benefited from the oppressive feudal system and would never understand the suffering of the lower classes. Only after reincarnating and being exposed to modern ideas of equality does he realize what he did wrong.

* The shou comes from a male brothel and belongs to an oppressed class. He is forced to have sexual relations with others against his will. He has mental health issues and is deeply fixated. He liked the gong even before falling into misfortune, and loved him so much that he was willing to drag him down with him in death. That is why they still end up together.

* Readers who are sensitive to a lot of content warnings are advised not to read this. If you can't accept it, just move along and spare us both. Thank you!

* The setting is a low-to-mid-magic cultivation world, not a traditional cultivation novel. Not everyone is evil, but the overall environment is oppressive: an exploitative feudal society!

* Most of the plot is angsty and oppressive. This is not a conventional crematorium story, so if you want a feel-good or sweet romance, there's no need to click in and waste your time.

* The cover shows the same face in different states. It's meant to hurt.
