Xia Anran had just graduated from college when he suddenly turned into a cat. Luckily, a kind young woman brought him into the Palace Museum, where he settled in and made himself right at home.

Then one day, a senior who seemed very reliable told him: “You're not a cat. You're a dream demon.”

Reliable Senior: “Little dream demon, if you want to grow, you have to weave dreams for other people. The stronger the person, the greater the reward.”

But the guests he met all had the strangest requests.

Flower Hoe: I hope my master finds a good match. (Completed)

Jiaowei Zither: I only wish my master would play one more tune on me. (Completed)

Huaying: I wish to see my carefree, unrestrained master again, drunk beneath the moon. (Completed)

Phoenix Hairpin with a Hundred Pearls: May my master live in peace and happiness. (In the sequel)

Yuchang Sword: I want to be stained with the blood of the tyrant of Qin! (In the sequel)

Xia Anran, deep in thought like a farmer with his hands tucked into his sleeves: Did I use the wrong method to enter this scenario?

The protagonist is a hardworking uke with a knack for all kinds of obscure knowledge! He's leveled up his technology and cooking skills.

This is not a fluffy, simplistic story. This is not a fluffy, simplistic story. This is not a fluffy, simplistic story.

This story is also known as: Technology Changes Lives

[Author's warnings] The protagonist is a boy. He doesn't act cute, get involved in household power struggles, turn evil, or put down his rivals.

Each world is set in an alternate universe, somewhere between novels, film and television, and history. The story follows a slow transmigration pace, and each world has a complete beginning and ending.

In the Dream of the Red Chamber arc, the protagonist calls his mother “Ma,” not “Niang.” In the original, Xue Pan and Xue Baochai call Aunt Xue “Ma.” The author checked the original text and the 1987 adaptation; chapter 5's afterword has a detailed explanation for anyone interested in the research. Please stop saying that “Ma” sounds out of place! “Ma” isn't a modern term! Mothers all over the world are called MAMA, and fathers BABA or PAPA, or something with a similar sound! Babies' earliest sounds are MAMAMAMAMA, which is why mothers are called MAMA! In theory, “Ma” came even earlier than “Niang”!

### The story goes premium on August 17. Three chapters will be released that day.

[About the CP] A secretive, possessive, deadpan-cold top who stalks the protagonist X a natural, hardworking bottom who wants to become a good little demon in the new socialist era. The top is one person.

A lot of people have told me that tortoiseshell cats are always female. First of all, the protagonist isn't actually a cat! He's a demon! He just looks like a tortoiseshell cat. Tortoiseshell refers to a coat color, and these cats are essentially domestic shorthairs. Just like calico cats, most are indeed female. Male ones are extremely rare, and are often stillborn or infertile, but they do exist.

Repeat after me: The protagonist is a little demon who looks like a tortoiseshell cat!
